Cisco 300-420 Exam - Topic 4 Question 81 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-420 exam

Question #: 81
Topic #: 4

An engineer is designing a campus network with Cisco Catalyst 95CO switches in the aggression layer. The design requires running nonblocking Layer 2 MEC from the aggregation layer to the access layer. The Catalyst switches are located on different campus floors for availability reasons, and each access switch veil contam a single VLAN. Which technology must the engineer choose for the aggregation switches in the design?

AVPC

BVSS

CStackWise Virtual

DStackWise-180

Not sure if VSS is the best choice for this scenario.

Wait, are we really using VSS here? Seems odd!

VPC is the way to go, right?

Definitely VSS for this setup.

I feel like StackWise-180 is more for specific stacking scenarios, so I’m leaning towards VSS or StackWise Virtual for this design.

I’m a bit confused; I thought VPC was more for connecting to upstream devices, but it could work here too, right?

I remember practicing a similar question about aggregation switches, and I think StackWise Virtual could be the right choice for this scenario.

I think the answer might be VSS since it provides a single management point and redundancy, but I'm not entirely sure.

Based on the requirements, I think StackWise Virtual is the way to go. It allows the aggregation switches to appear as a single logical device, which should meet the nonblocking Layer 2 MEC need.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions Cisco Catalyst 9500 switches, so I'm wondering if there might be a Cisco-specific technology that would be more appropriate than the general options provided.

VPC seems like the obvious choice here. It provides the Layer 2 MEC functionality we need, and it can span multiple physical switches, which should work well for the distributed campus layout.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the requirements carefully to determine the right technology for the aggregation switches.

Okay, let's see. The key details are that we need nonblocking Layer 2 MEC between the aggregation and access layers, and the switches are on different floors for availability. I think I know the answer, but I want to double-check my understanding.

Ah, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure which specific security features are available on the SD-WAN device. I'll need to carefully read through the options and try to eliminate the ones that don't sound right.

Hmm, this seems like a pretty specific question about Splunk configuration. I'll need to think carefully about the different push modes and what they mean.

This looks like a straightforward question on lead time strategy. I'll carefully review the options and think through the key differences between the manufacturing strategies to determine the best answer.

I'm pretty confident that using DMS isn't standard for direct connections, but I could be mixing it up with other cloud services.

Haha, yeah, StackWise Virtual is definitely not the right choice here. That's like bringing a knife to a gun fight. We need something that can handle the campus-wide network requirements, not just a local solution.

You know, I was initially thinking StackWise Virtual might be the answer, but after reading the question again, I don't think that's the case. StackWise Virtual is more for stacking switches within the same chassis, not for connecting different campus floors.

I agree, VPC does seem like the better option here. It can provide the required nonblocking Layer 2 MEC functionality and also allows the aggregation switches to be located on different floors for availability. VSS, on the other hand, requires the switches to be co-located.

Hmm, this question is pretty tricky. We need to choose the right technology for the aggregation switches to support a nonblocking Layer 2 MEC. VPC and VSS are both good options, but I'm leaning more towards VPC since it seems to be the more flexible and scalable choice.
