Cisco 350-101 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 21:

  A network operations team uses Cisco CleanAir data during troubleshooting. One floor shows several non-Wi-Fi interferers that repeatedly affect the same channels.

  Which CleanAir information is most useful for summarizing the interference impact on the channel?

  A. Client exclusion timeout
  B. RADIUS session timeout
  C. Air Quality Index
  D. DHCP lease duration
  C. Air Quality Index

  ---

  Explanation

  This scenario centers on A network operations team uses Cisco CleanAir data during troubleshooting. One floor shows several non-Wi-Fi interferers that repeatedly affect the same channels. Which CleanAir information is most useful for summarizing the interference impact on the channel? The response Air Quality Index works at that same control point.

  RF questions should be solved from measurable behavior. Signal level, noise, channel restrictions, interference classification, and propagation effects determine whether a link is stable and compliant. This feature is tied to that RF behavior, so it explains the observed result without changing unrelated WLAN security or management settings.

  Client exclusion timeout does not provide the specific RF, security, forwarding, management, or automation behavior that is required. RADIUS session timeout would be considered only for a different symptom or design goal. DHCP lease duration can sound related, but it does not own the behavior being tested.

  A good review method is to ask whether the choice would still solve the issue if every unrelated setting remained unchanged.

• Question 22:

  An organization must manage ongoing firmware updates for redundant controllers in the network. They will use Cisco Catalyst Center for deployment and visibility. The current environment uses centralized and distributed management approaches. Automation and reporting are critical to minimize operational workload.

  Which method must be used to manage structured update processes and monitor progress throughout the update cycle?

  A. inventory snapshots from hardware report
  B. software templates
  C. software image management workflows
  D. lifecycle workflow
  C. software image management workflows

  ---

  Explanation

  The controlling requirement is An organization must manage ongoing firmware updates for redundant controllers in the network. They will use Cisco Catalyst Center for deployment and visibility. The current environment uses centralized and distributed management approaches. The choice software image management workflows maps to that requirement directly.

  Operations questions should distinguish controller configuration from centralized assurance. Catalyst Center is used when the task is fleet visibility, issue handling, telemetry, notifications, or lifecycle workflow.

  The chosen behavior points to the management workflow that gives operations staff the needed view or control, rather than a local WLAN setting that would not manage the service lifecycle. inventory snapshots from hardware report may be useful elsewhere, but it does not apply the control that the stem is asking for. software templates changes an adjacent setting instead of the mechanism that produces the required result. lifecycle workflow addresses a different failure domain, so it would not close the gap described here.

  That is why the correct selection follows the requirement directly instead of merely belonging to the same Cisco wireless product family.

• Question 23:

  In a NETCONF-based automation workflow, a wireless controller exposes configuration and operational data according to YANG models.

  What does YANG provide?

  A. A radio modulation method for 6 GHz clients
  B. A replacement for AP CAPWAP discovery
  C. A structured data model with containers, lists, and leaves
  D. A shared secret format for RADIUS
  C. A structured data model with containers, lists, and leaves

  ---

  Explanation

  When the stem is reduced to In a NETCONF-based automation workflow, a wireless controller exposes configuration and operational data according to YANG models. What does YANG provide?, A structured data model with containers, lists, and leaves is the choice that remains technically aligned.

  Security questions should separate authentication, authorization, and policy enforcement. The WLAN security method gets the client on the network, while RADIUS and policy attributes decide what access the client receives. This feature is the piece that enables or applies that security behavior; the other choices either skip the external method, use the wrong authentication model, or affect a separate policy area.

  A radio modulation method for 6 GHz clients addresses a different failure domain, so it would not close the gap described here. A replacement for AP CAPWAP discovery is too broad or aimed at the wrong layer for this scenario. A shared secret format for RADIUS does not provide the specific RF, security, forwarding, management, or automation behavior that is required.

  The answer should therefore be evaluated by effect, not by how recognizable the command or platform name appears.

• Question 24:

  Refer to the exhibit.

  

  A retail business is deploying guest wireless across its remote branch locations. Each branch uses FlexConnect APs in local switching mode, and the central wireless LAN controller is configured with an ACL named CWA_REDIRECT. Cisco ISE is configured to return this ACL during the authentication process for central web authentication (CWA). However, when clients attempt to connect to the guest wireless LAN, they are added to the exclusion list.

  Which configuration step resolves the connectivity issue?

  A. Include the ACL CWA_REDIRECT in the AP-Join profile.
  B. Change the ACL to include the ISE IP address.
  C. Map the ACL CWA_REDIRECT to the flex profile as a policy ACL.
  D. Add the ACL CWA_REDIRECT to the policy profile.
  C. Map the ACL CWA_REDIRECT to the flex profile as a policy ACL.

  ---

  Explanation

  This scenario centers on A retail business is deploying guest wireless across its remote branch locations.

  Each branch uses FlexConnect APs in local switching mode, and the central wireless LAN controller is configured with an ACL named CWA_REDIRECT. The response Map the ACL CWA_REDIRECT to the flex profile as a policy ACL. works at that same control point.

  Security questions should separate authentication, authorization, and policy enforcement. The WLAN security method gets the client on the network, while RADIUS and policy attributes decide what access the client receives. This feature is the piece that enables or applies that security behavior; the other choices either skip the external method, use the wrong authentication model, or affect a separate policy area.

Change the ACL to include the ISE IP address. does not provide the specific RF, security, forwarding, management, or automation behavior that is required. Add the ACL CWA_REDIRECT to the policy profile. would be considered only for a different symptom or design goal.

  For exam purposes, separate association, authentication, authorization, forwarding, RF behavior, and management visibility before selecting a command or feature.

• Question 25:

  On a Catalyst 9800 WLC, an engineer creates a WLAN profile for the SSID and a policy profile that contains VLAN and session settings.

  Which object maps the WLAN profile to the policy profile?

  A. RF tag
  B. Site tag
  C. Policy tag
  D. AP join profile
  C. Policy tag

  ---

  Explanation

  The controlling requirement is On a Catalyst 9800 WLC, an engineer creates a WLAN profile for the SSID and a policy profile that contains VLAN and session settings. Which object maps the WLAN profile to the policy profile? The choice Policy tag maps to that requirement directly.

  AP join questions are about how the AP discovers and reaches a controller. Static configuration, DNS discovery, DHCP option 43, and fallback controller settings are separate discovery tools. The selected mechanism gives the AP the controller information required by this scenario, while the distractors either name the wrong discovery method or configure a different AP function. RF tag can sound related, but it does not own the behavior being tested. Site tag omits the part of the configuration that actually enforces the requested outcome. AP join profile shifts attention away from the condition that the client, AP, or controller must satisfy.

  In production troubleshooting, that distinction matters because changing the wrong layer can leave the original failure untouched.

• Question 26:

  How does U-NII-1 operate with regards to the common frequency bands supported in enterprise wireless networks?

  A. It uses a range of higher frequencies and tile enforcement with static power configuration.
  B. It uses a range of lower frequencies with restrictions on transmit power used indoor and outdoor.
  C. It defines subsections with signal handling and is restricted to indoor use helping minimize interference.
  D. It defines class limits for specialty devices and is restricted to outdoor use increasing coverage.
  C. It defines subsections with signal handling and is restricted to indoor use helping minimize interference.

  ---

  Explanation

  The condition to solve is How does U-NII-1 operate with regards to the common frequency bands supported in enterprise wireless networks? It defines subsections with signal handling and is restricted to indoor use helping minimize interference. is aligned with that condition rather than with a neighboring workflow.

  RF questions should be solved from measurable behavior. Signal level, noise, channel restrictions, interference classification, and propagation effects determine whether a link is stable and compliant. The selected mechanism is tied to that RF behavior, so it explains the observed result without changing unrelated WLAN security or management settings.

  It uses a range of higher frequencies and tile enforcement with static power configuration. belongs to a different workflow and would leave the stated condition unresolved. It uses a range of lower frequencies with restrictions on transmit power used indoor and outdoor. may be useful elsewhere, but it does not apply the control that the stem is asking for. It defines class limits for specialty devices and is restricted to outdoor use increasing coverage. changes an adjacent setting instead of the mechanism that produces the required result.

  The tested habit is to avoid picking a familiar wireless term unless it changes the exact condition in the question.

• Question 27:

  Refer to the exhibit.

  

  A JSON response from a wireless management API contains access point inventory and interface state information.

  Which JSON expression retrieves the MAC address of the second interface on the first access point?

  A. accessPoints[0].interfaces[1] .macAddress
  B. accessPoints[1].interfaces[0] .macAddress
  C. accessPoints[0].interfaces[0] .macAddress
  D. accessPoints[1].interfaces[1] .macAddress
  A. accessPoints[0].interfaces[1] .macAddress

  ---

  Explanation

  The condition to solve is A JSON response from a wireless management API contains access point inventory and interface state information. Which JSON expression retrieves the MAC address of the second interface on the first access point? accessPoints[0].interfaces[1] .macAddress is aligned with that condition rather than with a neighboring workflow.

  Automation questions are best answered by separating transport, model, and parsing roles. NETCONF transports operations, YANG defines the data structure, JSON parsing creates usable objects, and code methods retrieve values. That configuration performs the role named in the question; the alternatives are different programming or automation concepts and would not produce the requested result.

  accessPoints[1].interfaces[0] .macAddress would be considered only for a different symptom or design goal. accessPoints[0].interfaces[0] .macAddress can sound related, but it does not own the behavior being tested. accessPoints[1].interfaces[1] .macAddress omits the part of the configuration that actually enforces the requested outcome.

  The distractors are plausible only if the problem is misread as a different workflow.

• Question 28:

  A retail store has a Cisco 9176 FlexConnect AP at a branch location and must ensure that wireless clients continue to access the network even if the WAN link to the central controller is down. The AP must authenticate users locally during outages and still sync with the controller when connectivity is restored.

  The IT administrator wants centralized management for all APs but requires high availability for branch users.

  Which set of CLI commands on the 9800 WLC configures the AP to meet these requirements?

  A. config wlan branch1 flexconnect local-switching
  B. config wireless local ap vlan 6 wlan branch1
  C. wireless profile policy outageflexconnect local authentication
  D. wireless profile policy outageno central authentication
  D. wireless profile policy outageno central authentication

  ---

  Explanation

  In this case, the decisive fact is A retail store has a Cisco 9176 FlexConnect AP at a branch location and must ensure that wireless clients continue to access the network even if the WAN link to the central controller is down. wireless profile policy outageno central authentication addresses that fact directly.

  Branch designs usually test the difference between central management and local data handling.

  FlexConnect behavior is chosen when the AP must keep useful service at the site while still being managed by the controller. The chosen behavior fits that branch requirement because it changes forwarding or authentication behavior at the AP site rather than relying on an always-available central path.

  config wlan branch1 flexconnect local-switching omits the part of the configuration that actually enforces the requested outcome. config wireless local ap vlan 6 wlan branch1 shifts attention away from the

  condition that the client, AP, or controller must satisfy. wireless profile policy outageflexconnect local authentication belongs to a different workflow and would leave the stated condition unresolved.

  The key lesson is that Cisco wireless features are usually scoped tightly, and the scope determines whether a choice is usable.

• Question 29:

  Which solution enables a seamless user experience when roaming in a wireless network?

  A. static VLAN policy
  B. optimized roaming
  C. redundant RF profile
  D. fast transition
  D. fast transition

  ---

  Explanation

  fast transition is preferred because it changes the behavior described here: Which solution enables a seamless user experience when roaming in a wireless network?

  Protocol questions depend on the exact 802.11 function involved. Airtime scheduling, frame exchange, channel behavior, and secure roaming each solve a different problem. The chosen setting maps to the protocol mechanism described by the stem rather than to a controller administration task or a general monitoring feature.

  static VLAN policy may be useful elsewhere, but it does not apply the control that the stem is asking for. optimized roaming changes an adjacent setting instead of the mechanism that produces the required result. redundant RF profile addresses a different failure domain, so it would not close the gap described here.

  That is why the correct selection follows the requirement directly instead of merely belonging to the same Cisco wireless product family.

  A complete review also checks whether the choice would still solve the problem if all other settings stayed the same. That test favors the correct choice because it changes the feature, protocol, or policy named by the question. The distractors may be legitimate Cisco wireless concepts, but they would send the engineer toward a different task and leave the stated requirement unresolved.

• Question 30:

  A network engineer is deploying a new wireless monitoring solution in a large campus. The engineer must connect Cisco Spaces Connector, Cisco ISE, and a Catalyst Center appliance to the switch infrastructure.

  All three services require management and telemetry connectivity, and the security policy mandates segregation of management and user traffic. The engineer also must ensure that any network changes do not disrupt ongoing wireless services for users and staff.

  Which implementation must the engineer use on the switch interfaces?

  A. Configure PortFast on each separate interface to speed up convergence.
  B. Assign the management VLAN as the native VLAN on trunk ports for all three services.
  C. Use the Port Aggregation Protocol for negotiation.
  D. Configure all the interfaces as access ports in the management VLAN.
  D. Configure all the interfaces as access ports in the management VLAN.

  Explanation

  The key is to match the requested effect, A network engineer is deploying a new wireless monitoring solution in a large campus. The engineer must connect Cisco Spaces Connector, Cisco ISE, and a Catalyst Center appliance to the switch infrastructure. All three services require management and telemetry connectivity., with the feature or command that actually produces it; that points to Configure all the interfaces as access ports in the management VLAN..

  Protocol questions depend on the exact 802.11 function involved. Airtime scheduling, frame exchange, channel behavior, and secure roaming each solve a different problem. The selected mechanism maps to the protocol mechanism described by the stem rather than to a controller administration task or a general monitoring feature.

  Configure PortFast on each separate interface to speed up convergence. would be considered only for a different symptom or design goal. Assign the management VLAN as the native VLAN on trunk ports for all three services. can sound related, but it does not own the behavior being tested. Use the Port Aggregation Protocol for negotiation. omits the part of the configuration that actually enforces the requested outcome.

  The distractors are plausible only if the problem is misread as a different workflow.
