Cisco Updated 200-301 Exam Questions and Answers by fleur

The correct response is B. VRRP provides default-gateway redundancy on a LAN by allowing multiple routers to share a virtual gateway. Hosts use the virtual IP address as their default gateway while one router acts as master and another can take over during failure. For Cisco CCNA 200-301 v1.1, the important point is the mechanism, not a generic description of the technology. VRRP does not exchange routing tables, stop Layer 2 loops, or provide generic load balancing to distant destinations. When this appears in a network, the symptom normally confirms the answer: the route installed, the state selected, the packet forwarded, the wireless client behaviour, or the management workflow will follow this rule. That is why this answer is the best fit for the scenario and not just a plausible networking term.

In CRUD terminology, update is the operation that modifies an existing record, table entry, object, or view. Create adds something new, read retrieves existing information, update changes existing information, and delete removes it. Some APIs use replace or patch semantics, but the CRUD term being tested for modification is update. Cisco CCNA 200-301 v1.1 Automation and Programmability includes CRUD because REST APIs and controller-based platforms use these concepts constantly. For example, an HTTP GET commonly maps to read, POST often maps to create, PUT or PATCH may map to update, and DELETE maps to delete. The wording says ' modifies an existing table or view, ' which rules out create and read. Replace is not one of the standard CRUD letters. The correct CRUD operation is update. Therefore, D is correct.

SNMP is the protocol associated with IOS MIB access and centralized network management. The Management Information Base is the structured set of managed objects that an SNMP manager can query or, where permitted, modify on an SNMP agent. In the context of backing up many router configurations globally, SNMP can be used by management software to interact with Cisco IOS MIB objects and trigger configuration-copy operations. CDP discovers directly connected Cisco neighbors; it is not a configuration backup protocol. SMTP is for mail transfer. ARP resolves IPv4 addresses to MAC addresses on a local segment. Cisco CCNA v1.1 IP Services includes device management protocols such as SNMP, syslog, and NTP. The important distinction is scope: SNMP gives a management station structured visibility and control through MIB objects across many devices. That is why the Cisco IOS MIB clue points directly to SNMP.

When configuring VLAN trunking between a Cisco switch and a third-party switch, use IEEE 802.1Q. It is the open standard for VLAN tagging on Ethernet trunks. Cisco ISL was Cisco-proprietary and is obsolete on modern platforms. IEEE 802.1p relates to Class of Service marking inside the Ethernet header, not trunk encapsulation for interswitch VLAN transport. DSCP is an IP-layer QoS marking, not a Layer 2 VLAN trunking method. Cisco CCNA 200-301 v1.1 Network Access expects candidates to know that 802.1Q inserts a VLAN tag so multiple VLANs can traverse one physical trunk link. The native VLAN is carried untagged by default, while other VLANs are tagged. In multivendor networks, standards-based encapsulation is mandatory. Therefore, the action is to configure IEEE 802.1Q. The correct answer is B.
