, Question 1
In Cisco Modeling Labs (CML), which component is responsible for managing
the lifecycle of virtual machine images and their associated metadata, such as
CPU, RAM, and disk requirements?
A. The controller
B. The image definition
C. The node definition
D. The lab topology
Correct Answer: B - The image definition
RATIONALE
The image definition in CML encapsulates the virtual machine image
along with its resource specifications (CPU, RAM, disk) and is used
by the controller to instantiate nodes. The controller orchestrates but
does not store metadata; node definitions reference image definitions,
and lab topologies define connectivity.
Question 2
When designing a CML topology to simulate a large-scale OSPF network with
50 routers, which factor most critically limits the number of nodes that can be
run simultaneously on a single server?
A. The number of available physical interfaces
B. The CPU core count and RAM per node
C. The bandwidth of the management network
D. The version of the CML controller software
Correct Answer: B - The CPU core count and RAM per node
Page 2
, RATIONALE
Each virtual router consumes CPU and RAM; the total available
resources on the host determine the maximum number of concurrent
nodes. Physical interfaces are virtualized, management bandwidth is
rarely limiting, and software version affects features but not raw
capacity.
Question 3
A network engineer uses the CML REST API to programmatically create a lab.
Which HTTP method and endpoint are used to add a node to an existing lab?
A. POST /api/v0/labs/{lab_id}/nodes
B. PUT /api/v0/labs/{lab_id}/nodes/{node_id}
C. GET /api/v0/labs/{lab_id}/nodes
D. DELETE /api/v0/labs/{lab_id}/nodes/{node_id}
Correct Answer: A - POST /api/v0/labs/{lab_id}/nodes
RATIONALE
To add a new node, a POST request is sent to the nodes collection
endpoint of a specific lab. PUT updates an existing node, GET
retrieves node information, and DELETE removes a node.
Question 4
In a CML simulation, you need to generate realistic traffic to test QoS policies.
Which external tool is specifically designed for high-performance, stateful
traffic generation and can be integrated with CML?
A. Wireshark
B. TRex
C. Nmap
D. iperf3
Correct Answer: B - TRex
Page 3
, RATIONALE
TRex is a high-performance, stateful traffic generator capable of
simulating realistic application traffic and is commonly integrated
with CML for QoS testing. Wireshark is a packet analyzer, Nmap is a
scanner, and iperf3 generates simple TCP/UDP streams but lacks
stateful application emulation.
Question 5
Which statement accurately describes the difference between a 'node definition'
and a 'node' in CML?
A. A node definition is a template; a node is a running instance based on
that template.
B. A node is a template; a node definition is a running instance.
C. Both are interchangeable terms.
D. A node definition is used only for physical devices; a node is for
virtual devices.
Correct Answer: A - A node definition is a template; a node is a
running instance based on that template.
RATIONALE
In CML, a node definition is a reusable template specifying image,
interfaces, and configuration; a node is an instantiated virtual machine
created from that definition within a lab. They are not interchangeable,
and both apply to virtual devices.
Question 6
When using Ansible to automate configuration of devices in a CML lab, which
inventory source is most appropriate for dynamically discovering the
management IP addresses of nodes?
A. Static hosts file
B. CML dynamic inventory plugin
C. Manual entry after lab start
