Actual exam question for Cisco's 500-220 exam

Question #: 58
Topic #: 1

The WAN connection of a Cisco Meraki MX security appliance is congested, and the MX appliance is buffering the traffic from LAN ports going to the WAN ports. High, normal, and low priority queue buffers are all full. Which proportion of the normal traffic is forwarded compared to the other queues?

A4/10 packets

B2/7 packets

C2/10 packets

D5/15 packets

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Route Priority

Each type of route configured on the MX has a specific priority in comparison with other types of routes. The priority is as follows:

Directly Connected

Client VPN

Static Routes

AutoVPN Routes

Non-Meraki VPN Peers

BGP learned Routes

NAT*

5/15 packets? Really? That sounds off to me!

Wait, how can normal traffic be prioritized like that?

I think it's 2/7 packets. Seems reasonable.

I feel like the answer might be 2/10 packets, but I need to double-check how the prioritization affects the forwarding rates.

I think normal traffic gets a specific ratio, but I can't recall if it's 2/7 or something else.

This question feels familiar; I think we practiced a similar one where we had to determine packet forwarding ratios based on queue priorities.

I remember something about how traffic prioritization works, but I'm not sure how to calculate the exact proportions for each queue.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The Meraki documentation covers this kind of traffic shaping scenario in detail.

This looks straightforward enough. I just need to do the math and figure out the right ratio based on the queue fullness.

I'm a bit confused by the wording here. Can someone explain what "proportion of the normal traffic is forwarded" means exactly?

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is understanding how the different priority queues are handled when the buffers are full.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully think through the queue prioritization and buffer management on the Meraki MX.

Ugh, I'm not sure about this at all. I know we covered mobile UI components in class, but I'm drawing a blank on the specifics. I'll have to guess and hope for the best.

Okay, I'm pretty sure studentized residuals greater than 2 or less than -2 are considered potential outliers. I'll go with option B.

Wait, is this a trick question? Are they trying to see if we're actually paying attention, or just guessing randomly? Either way, I'm going with C) 2/10 packets.

I think the correct answer is B) 2/7 packets. The normal queue is given the same priority as the high and low priority queues, so it should forward a fair share of the traffic.
