Three of the 94 questions in this pack

Question 1

What is one use case for designing a 2-tier campus LAN instead of using a 3-tier?

  1. Cross-campus traffic has grown beyond the capacity of a single collapsed core.
  2. The campus has small buildings with only a few wiring closets.
  3. Access aggregation points are not scaling to meet traffic demands.
  4. The network has grown beyond a few building aggregation points.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. The campus has small buildings with only a few wiring closets.

A two-tier design with a collapsed core is well suited to small buildings with only a few wiring closets and access switches, where the access layer can connect directly to a single core pair without a separate aggregation layer. It also works in larger sites when the fiber from every wiring closet is homed in one location. A three-tier design becomes the better choice as the campus grows, when cross-campus traffic, the number of access aggregation points or the number of building aggregation points outgrow what one collapsed core can handle.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Cross-campus traffic beyond the capacity of a single collapsed core is a reason to move to a three-tier design.
  • C. Access aggregation points failing to scale is a reason to add a dedicated aggregation and core layer.
  • D. Growth beyond a few building aggregation points is a driver for a three-tier design.

Question 2

You are responding to a customer’s Request for Proposal (RFP) for a new network infrastructure solution. The RFP outlines the customer’s desired features and technical outcomes but leaves several important design details unspecified.

At this stage in the proposal process, you are tasked with documenting the assumptions you’ve made in order to complete your design and address gaps in the RFP. These assumptions should reflect reasonable expectations that help guide the customer’s understanding of the solution and identify areas where further clarification may be needed.

What is a valid example of assumptions that should be presented to the customer in your RFP response?

  1. The customer's budget has already been approved to fully fund the proposed solution.
  2. The customer's technical staff is fully capable of providing ongoing support for the proposed solution.
  3. All required vendor equipment will be available in time to meet the customer’s requested project schedule.
  4. Adequate space and power are available to rack and commission the proposed equipment.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. Adequate space and power are available to rack and commission the proposed equipment.

Assumptions in an RFP response record the conditions the design depends on that the RFP did not specify and that the customer must confirm. Stating that adequate rack space and power are available to install and commission the proposed equipment is a reasonable, verifiable assumption about the customer's facilities. If it proves false, the design, cost or schedule must change, so documenting it makes the dependency visible and prompts clarification before the project starts.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Budget approval is a commercial matter for the customer, not a technical assumption that shapes the design.
  • B. Assuming the customer's staff can fully support the solution sets an expectation the vendor cannot confirm and may hide a training or support need.
  • C. Equipment availability is a supply commitment the vendor must verify, not an assumption to place on the customer.

Question 3

Which member types require a reboot when doing an In-Service-Software-Upgrade within a VSF stack?

  1. Conductor
  2. Member
  3. all member types
  4. Standby
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. all member types

When a VSF stack is upgraded in service, the new software is loaded on every member and the members are rebooted in a controlled sequence so that the stack keeps forwarding traffic through the remaining members while each one restarts. The conductor, the standby and the ordinary members all run the same image, so every member type must reboot to run the new software. The benefit of the in-service process is that the reboots are staggered, not that any role avoids one.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. The conductor is not the only role that reboots; every member must run the new image.
  • B. Ordinary members reboot, but so do the conductor and standby.
  • D. The standby reboots along with all other member types, not alone.
