Cisco 350-101 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 51:

  What happens when a radio wave bends around objects?

  A. absorption
  B. diffusion
  C. reflection
  D. diffraction
  D. diffraction

  ---

  Explanation

  The stem narrows the problem to What happens when a radio wave bends around objects? In that context, diffraction is the setting or feature that applies.

  The selection diffraction should be read against the core requirement: What happens when a radio wave bends around objects? It is the only response that works at the same layer as that requirement. Protocol questions depend on the exact 802.11 function involved. Airtime scheduling, frame exchange, channel behavior, and secure roaming each solve a different problem. That selection maps to the protocol mechanism described by the stem rather than to a controller administration task or a general monitoring feature. absorption changes an adjacent setting instead of the mechanism that produces the required result. diffusion addresses a different failure domain, so it would not close the gap described here. reflection is too broad or aimed at the wrong layer for this scenario. This keeps the reasoning tied to the implementation detail rather than to broad wireless terminology. 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 52:

  Refer to the exhibit.

  

  A client authenticates via 802.1X against an ISE server that is configured to return a specific VLAN ID (VLAN 100) via an attribute value pair. However, the administrator notices that the client is placed in the

  wrong VLAN (VLAN 50).

  What must the administrator implement to resolve the issue?

  A. Configure the policy profile to allow ISE to override the VLAN.
  B. Configure VLAN 100 as an SVI on the WLC.
  C. Configure VLAN 100 on the trunk ports of the WLC.
  D. Configure AAA VLAN enable on the WLAN.
  A. Configure the policy profile to allow ISE to override the VLAN.

  ---

  Explanation

  A direct reading of the item leads to Configure the policy profile to allow ISE to override the VLAN., because the stated requirement is A client authenticates via 802.1X against an ISE server that is configured to return a specific VLAN ID (VLAN 100) via an attribute value pair. However, the administrator

  notices that the client is placed in the wrong VLAN (VLAN 50). What must the administrator implement to

  resolve the issue?

  Antenna questions are about pattern and energy concentration. Gain changes how energy is focused, not the authentication method, VLAN assignment, or controller policy. This choice matches the coverage shape or gain behavior described in the stem, which is why it is preferred over unrelated wireless features.

  Configure VLAN 100 as an SVI on the WLC. addresses a different failure domain, so it would not close the gap described here. Configure VLAN 100 on the trunk ports of the WLC. is too broad or aimed at the wrong layer for this scenario. Configure AAA VLAN enable on the WLAN. 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 53:

  What is the main benefit of using AI Enhanced RRM on the Cisco Catalyst 9800 wireless controller?

  A. It is an automatic tuning tool that is used to adjust RF parameters based on static thresholds.
  B. It focuses on increasing the transmit power of access points to maximize coverage regardless of interference.
  C. It disables dynamic channel assignment and power control to maintain a fixed wireless environment for stability.
  D. It uses machine learning and cloud analytics to proactively optimize RF parameters.
  D. It uses machine learning and cloud analytics to proactively optimize RF parameters.

  ---

  Explanation

  The controlling requirement is What is the main benefit of using AI Enhanced RRM on the Cisco Catalyst 9800 wireless controller? The choice It uses machine learning and cloud analytics to proactively optimize RF parameters. maps to that requirement directly.

  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. That configuration is tied to that RF behavior, so it explains the observed result without changing unrelated WLAN security or management settings.

  It is an automatic tuning tool that is used to adjust RF parameters based on static thresholds. changes an adjacent setting instead of the mechanism that produces the required result. It focuses on increasing the transmit power of access points to maximize coverage regardless of interference. addresses a different failure domain, so it would not close the gap described here. It disables dynamic channel assignment and power control to maintain a fixed wireless environment for stability. is too broad or aimed at the wrong layer for this scenario.

  This keeps the reasoning tied to the implementation detail rather than to broad wireless terminology.

• Question 54:

  Cisco ISE returns VLAN and ACL attributes for wireless users after 802.1X authentication. The WLC ignores those attributes and keeps clients in the default VLAN.

  Which setting should be enabled to allow the RADIUS attributes to take effect?

  A. Passive client mode
  B. AAA override
  C. DHCP required
  D. Local profiling only
  B. AAA override

  ---

  Explanation

  AAA override fits because the item is asking about this condition: Cisco ISE returns VLAN and ACL attributes for wireless users after 802.1X authentication. The WLC ignores those attributes and keeps clients in the default VLAN. Which setting should be enabled to allow the RADIUS attributes to take effect?

  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. That configuration 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.

  Passive client mode omits the part of the configuration that actually enforces the requested outcome.

  DHCP required shifts attention away from the condition that the client, AP, or controller must satisfy. Local profiling only 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 55:

  What is the time taken for an RF signal to travel from the transmitter to the receiver known as?

  A. reflection
  B. propagation delay
  C. scattering
  D. link speed
  B. propagation delay

  ---

  Explanation

  The stem narrows the problem to What is the time taken for an RF signal to travel from the transmitter to the receiver known as? In that context, propagation delay is the setting or feature that applies.

  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 choice is tied to that RF behavior, so it explains the observed result without changing unrelated WLAN security or management settings. reflection omits the part of the configuration that actually enforces the requested outcome. scattering shifts attention away from the condition that the client, AP, or controller must satisfy. link speed 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.

  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 56:

  A wireless engineer measures a client signal at -62 dBm and the noise floor at -88 dBm. The client is stable but the help desk asks which RF value best describes the usable margin between the desired signal and background noise.

  Which value should the engineer report?

  A. RSSI of -26 dBm
  B. SNR of 26 dB
  C. Noise level of 26 dBm
  D. EIRP of -150 dBm
  B. SNR of 26 dB

  ---

  Explanation

  SNR of 26 dB fits because the item is asking about this condition: A wireless engineer measures a client signal at -62 dBm and the noise floor at -88 dBm. The client is stable but the help desk asks which RF value best describes the usable margin between the desired signal and background noise. Which value should the engineer report?

  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 choice is tied to that RF behavior, so it explains the observed result without changing unrelated WLAN security or management settings.

  RSSI of -26 dBm may be useful elsewhere, but it does not apply the control that the stem is asking for.

  Noise level of 26 dBm changes an adjacent setting instead of the mechanism that produces the required result. EIRP of -150 dBm 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 57:

  Refer to the exhibit.

  

  An engineer is setting up a new WLC in a branch office. The IT security policy states that all management access must use encrypted protocols, administrators will connect remotely, and network scans will be run to check for any noncompliant management protocol exposure.

  Which action must the engineer take to achieve the required management access policy?

  A. Permit only HTTP, Telnet, and SSH across all VLANs for 10.10.1.0/24.
  B. Enable Telnet, SSH, and HTTPS across the management and guest interfaces.
  C. Permit console access for 10.10.1.0/24 only with HTTP disabled.
  D. Enable HTTPS and SSH, and disable HTTP and Telnet on the WLC.
  D. Enable HTTPS and SSH, and disable HTTP and Telnet on the WLC.

  ---

  Explanation

  The condition to solve is An engineer is setting up a new WLC in a branch office. The IT security policy states that all management access must use encrypted protocols, administrators will connect remotely, and network scans will be run to check for any noncompliant management protocol exposure. Enable HTTPS and SSH, and disable HTTP and Telnet on the WLC. is aligned with that condition rather than with a neighboring workflow.

  Guest wireless designs must combine onboarding with isolation. The portal, redirect ACL, policy profile, VLAN mapping, and peer blocking controls serve different parts of that design. The chosen setting satisfies the guest access requirement because it supports the requested user flow or segmentation instead of merely changing a generic WLAN parameter.

  Permit only HTTP, Telnet, and SSH across all VLANs for 10.10.1.0/24. can sound related, but it does not own the behavior being tested. Enable Telnet, SSH, and HTTPS across the management and guest interfaces. omits the part of the configuration that actually enforces the requested outcome. Permit console access for 10.10.1.0/24 only with HTTP disabled. 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 58:

  A network administrator at a retail company recently deployed a Cisco Catalyst 9800 WLC. The NOC was unaware of wireless issues until it received reports from users. The network administrator must configure Cisco Catalyst Center to enable effective client issue alerts via email to prevent this happening again.

  Which action must the network administrator take in Cisco Catalyst Center to meet the requirements?

  A. Configure a new event alert by navigating to Use Assurance > Platforms > Notifications.
  B. Configure a new notification by navigating to Platform > Developer Toolkit > Event Notifications.
  C. Add the NOC email address by navigating to Use Assurance > Issue Settings > Email.
  D. Add the NOC email address by navigating to Platform > Event Notifications > Email.
  B. Configure a new notification by navigating to Platform > Developer Toolkit > Event Notifications.

  ---

  Explanation

  This scenario centers on A network administrator at a retail company recently deployed a Cisco Catalyst 9800 WLC. The NOC was unaware of wireless issues until it received reports from users. The response Configure a new notification by navigating to Platform > Developer Toolkit > Event Notifications. works at that same control point.

  Antenna questions are about pattern and energy concentration. Gain changes how energy is focused, not the authentication method, VLAN assignment, or controller policy. The chosen behavior matches the coverage shape or gain behavior described in the stem, which is why it is preferred over unrelated wireless features.

  Configure a new event alert by navigating to Use Assurance > Platforms > Notifications. can sound related, but it does not own the behavior being tested. Add the NOC email address by navigating to Use Assurance

  > Issue Settings > Email. omits the part of the configuration that actually enforces the requested outcome.

  Add the NOC email address by navigating to Platform > Event Notifications > Email. 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 59:

  Which benefit does enabling SNMP monitoring provide for Cisco wireless device management?

  A. hardware-only performance metrics
  B. manual log review for each branch
  C. fragmented statistics across controllers
  D. alerts on access point status
  D. alerts on access point status

  ---

  Explanation

  Here, alerts on access point status is tied to the actual requirement in the stem: Which benefit does enabling SNMP monitoring provide for Cisco wireless device management?

  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.

  hardware-only performance metrics is too broad or aimed at the wrong layer for this scenario. manual log review for each branch does not provide the specific RF, security, forwarding, management, or automation behavior that is required. fragmented statistics across controllers 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.

  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 60:

  A client roams between APs that map to different client subnets. The network must preserve the client's IP address and session continuity during the roam.

  Which wireless function addresses this requirement?

  A. Static RF profile assignment
  B. Beacon interval tuning
  C. Local AP console access
  D. Layer 3 roaming
  D. Layer 3 roaming

  ---

  Explanation

  Layer 3 roaming is preferred because it changes the behavior described here: A client roams between APs that map to different client subnets. The network must preserve the client's IP address and session continuity during the roam. Which wireless function addresses this requirement?

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

  Static RF profile assignment would be considered only for a different symptom or design goal. Beacon interval tuning can sound related, but it does not own the behavior being tested. Local AP console access 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.

  That reading also helps with the distractors: they may name real wireless concepts, but they do not calculate, configure, or enforce the specific behavior requested here. In review, ask whether applying the choice would immediately change the failure, measurement, policy, or workflow in the stem; if it would not, it should be eliminated.
