b. Class Selector

c. Assured Forwarding

d. Multi-class-multi-drop

···> read answer

6. Imagine a packet is marked with AF31. Later, a QoS tool classifies the packet. Which of the following classification criteria would match the packet, assuming the marking had not been changed from the original AF31 marking?

b. PHBs are defined inside a service policy

c. Matching multiple DSCPs requires multiple match commands

d. One command is used to enable a QoS policy on an interface for packets both entering and exiting an interface

···> read answer

9. Which of the following router commands displays the configuration that results from enabling AutoQos VoIP on a router’s S0/0 interface, including the details of any class maps or policy maps? (Link: AutoQos VoIP Default Configuration)

a. show autoqos

b. show auto qos

c. show auto qos interface s0/0

d. show running-config

···> read answer

11. Imagine a router configuration with several class-map commands, with a policy map referring to the service classes defined in the class-map commands. The policy map has been enabled for incoming packets on interface Fa0/1. What command would you look for in order to tell if Class Based Marking was in use, as opposed to some other MQC command?

a. match

b. match-all

c. priority

d. mark

e. set

···> read answer

12. Examine the following configuration snippet, and assume that all commands related to the class-map and all interface commands are shown. Which of the following answer best explains why the show command shows that class barney is not matching any packets?

class-map dino
match protocol rtp audio
!
policy-map barney
class dino
set ip dscp ef
!
interface fastethernet0/0
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
service-policy input barney

a. There is no RTP audio traffic currently in the network

b. You cannot enable CB marking as an input function

c. The show command only works when the mls enable counters interface subcommand is used

d. The ip cef global command is required .

e. The show policy-map interface fa0/0 command lists configuration information, but not packet counters

···> read answer

13. Assume that a router is configured correctly so that voice payload packets are marked with DSCP value EF. Which of the following commands could have been used inside the policy-map to cause CB Marking to set that value?

a. set ip dscp ef

c. set dscp ef

d. set dscp 46

e. all of the above

f. none of the above

···> read answer

14. Router A is the endpoint of an IPSEC VPN tunnel. Packets entering router A on interface fa 0/0 will be encrypted and then forwarded to a central site out interface S0/0. You want to enable CB marking on egress packets on the serial0/0 interface, but you want to look at the fields in the IP, TCP, and UDP headers of the original packet, before encryption. What must be done to allow your policy map to work?

a. It works automatically, without any commands required

b. The ip cef global command is needed

c. The mls qos global command is needed

d. The qos pre-classify global command is needed

e. The qos pre-classify command is needed on the IPSEC crypto map

···> read answer
