A network architect is designing a solution for a customer who wants better security on edge ports.
Recently, an unauthorized individual was able to connect a snooping device to an open port (in
other words, to a switch port that is active but not connected to a customer device). The customer
wants to prevent this from happening again. However, the customer wants to avoid implementing
802.1X on ports because the IT staff is not prepared to deploy and manage such a solution.

What is the simplest way to minimize the risk of another unauthorized connection without adding a
lot of management overhead?

HOTSPOT
Work architect planning the implementation of a solution. For each role, choose whether or not the
architect should notify these people and involve them in plan.

A hospital CIO tells the network architect that the current network solution is not performing well.
The hospital has access layer switches that support 4810/100/1000 Mbps ports and one Gigabit
uplink. The hospital is seeking an upgrade to provide better performance and redundancy.
The CIO cannot provide network architect more detailed information about traffic patterns and
utilization but does not want the network architect to install intelligent Management Center (IMC)
and analyze the traffic.
The CIO does indicate that these applications are important:
Voice over IP (VoIP)
Scheduling and billing application
Patient data logging
Medical imaging
The network architect needs to plan an appropriate oversubscription ratio for access layer uplinks.
What is one piece of information that the architect should collect for this task?

Which benefit does In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU) provide?

A network architect is designing as a Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) solution for a
network. The network architect plans to create 10 VLANs. The network architect also wants to
ensure that the best paths are selected when interoperating with other spanning tree regional.
Which guideline aids in ensuring best paths between regions?

An implementation plan should include an agreed-on time for the final rollback decision. What
should this decision be scheduled?

Which description best characterizes current trends in deploying services for an enterprise?

What best characterizes the current trend in branch office IT and networking solutions?

Data center includes services within the same VLAN and subnet that communicate with each

other multicast application. Variable Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) on this VLAN on
data center switches?

HOTSPOT

The network architect is designing an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) solution and plans to run
OSPF on each of the VLAN in switches.
Based on the practices, which interface or interfaces should the network architect plan the
features on?
