QUESTION 1
Which regular expression will match prefixes that originated from AS200?

A. ^$
B. ^200_
C. _200$
D. ^200)
E. _200_

Answer: C

Explanation:
Example on how to deny all prefixes originated in Autonomous System 200
router bgp 100
neighbor 10.1.1.1 remote-as 65535 neighbor 10.1.1.1 route-map map1 in
!
route-map map1 permit 10 match as-path 1
!
ip as-path access-list 5 deny _200$ ip as-path access-list 5 permit .*

QUESTION 2
Which two actions can you take to allow the greatest number of pertinent packets to be stored in the temporary buffer of Cisco IOS Embedded Packet Capture? (Choose two.)

A. Specify the sampling interval.
B. Specify the capture buffer type.
C. Specify a reflexive ACL.
D. Specify the minimum packet capture rate.
E. Specify the packet size.
F. Store the capture simultaneously onto an external memory card as the capture occurs.

Answer: A,B

Explanation:
Embedded Packet Capture (EPC) provides an embedded systems management facility that helps in tracing and troubleshooting packets. This feature allows network administrators to capture data packets flowing through, to, and from a Cisco device. The network administrator may define the capture buffer size and type (circular, or linear) and the maximum number of bytes of each packet to capture. The packet capture rate can be throttled using further administrative controls. For example, options allow for filtering the packets to be captured using an Access Control List and, optionally, further defined by specifying a maximum packet capture rate or by specifying a sampling interval.

QUESTION 3
Which BGP feature enables you to install a backup path in the forwarding table?

A. soft reconfiguration
B. prefix independent convergence
C. route refresh
D. synchronization

Answer: B

Explanation:
To install a backup path into the forwarding table and provide prefix independent convergence (PIC) in case of a PE-CE link failure, use the additional-paths install backup command in an appropriate address family configuration mode. To prevent installing the backup path, use the no form of this command. To disable prefix independent convergence, use the disable keyword.

QUESTION 4
What are the minimal configuration steps that are required to configure EIGRP HMAC-SHA2 authentication?

A. classic router mode, interface XX, authentication mode hmac-sha-256 <password>
B. named router mode, address-family statement, authentication mode hmac-sha-256 <password>
C. named router mode, address-family statement, af-interface default, authentication mode hmac-sha-256 <password>
D. named router mode, address-family statement, authentication mode hmac-sha-256 <password>

Answer: C

Explanation:
The example below shows how to configure EIGRP HMAC-SHA2 on Cisco router: Device(config)# router eigrp name1
Device(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 45000 Device(config-router-af)# af-interface ethernet 0/0 Device(config-router-af-interface)# authentication mode hmac-sha-256 0 password1 Device(config-router-af-interface)# end

QUESTION 5
Which two statements about the OSPF two-way neighbor state are true? (Choose two.)

A. Each neighbor receives its own router ID in a hello packet from the other neighbor.
B. Each neighbor receives a hello message from the other neighbor.
C. It is valid only on NBMA networks.
D. It is valid only on point-to-point networks.
E. Each neighbor receives an acknowledgement of its own hello packet from the other neighbor.
F. Each neighbor receives the router ID of the other neighbor in a hello packet from the other neighbor.
