Question#1

A Solutions Architect has just completed the Layer 3 configuration for a new campus core switch. The configuration includes several Switched Virtual Interfaces (SVIs) for inter-VLAN routing and a static default route for internet access. Before handing the solution over to the operations team, the architect needs to perform a final validation of the IP routing setup.
The architect needs to verify the following in a single, consolidated view:
* That the directly connected VLAN interfaces (SVIs) are active in the routing table.
* That the static default route is correctly installed and active.
* The IP addresses of any next-hop gateways.
Which of the following validation commands provides this complete overview of the switch's Layer 3 forwarding information?

A. `show ip interface brief`
B. `show running-config`
C. `show ip route`
D. `show arp`

Question#2

A solutions architect is designing a resilient routing solution for a campus network. A critical requirement is that if a primary link to the internet fails, traffic must automatically re-route through a secondary link with minimal packet loss. The primary link has a bandwidth of 1Gbps and the secondary link is 100Mbps.
The administrator is considering using static routes.
Review the following proposed configuration on the core switch:
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.100.1.1
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.200.1.1
How can the administrator ensure the 1Gbps link (via 10.100.1.1) is the primary path and the 100Mbps link (via 10.200.1.1) is only used for failover?

A. Add the metric `200` to the static route pointing to `10.200.1.1`.
B. Configure OSPF, as static routes do not support failover.
C. The switch will automatically prefer the 1Gbps link based on its interface speed.
D. Change the second route to `ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.200.1.1 secondary`.

Question#3

In RSTP, how is the root bridge chosen in a network topology?

A. Based on the lowest MAC address of a switch
B. Based on the highest MAC address of a switch
C. Based on the lowest BID of a switch
D. Based on the highest BID of a switch

Question#4

A Network Operator is analyzing a firewall log and sees an entry showing that a connection was denied. The log entry includes the following information: SRC_IP: 10.1.1.50, DST_IP: 172.16.5.100, DST_PORT: 80, PROTOCOL: TCP.
What is the primary function of the destination port number (80) at Layer 4 in this context?

A. To identify the physical switch port the traffic should be sent to.
B. To identify the source application that initiated the connection.
C. To identify the destination application or service (in this case, HTTP) on the server.
D. To provide error correction for the data within the packet.

Question#5

A Network Technician is troubleshooting a link between a switch and a server. The switch port is configured for 1000BASE-T, full-duplex. The server's network card is older and only supports 100Mbps, half-duplex. The devices are set to auto-negotiate.
What is the most likely outcome of this duplex mismatch?

A. The link will fail to come up, and no traffic will pass.
B. The link will successfully negotiate to 100Mbps, full-duplex.
C. The switch will operate at 1000Mbps, and the server will drop most packets.
D. The link will operate at 100Mbps, but performance will be extremely poor due to collisions and errors.
