1 – D, 2 – B, 3 – C, 4 – E, 5 – A

Statement B: One of the routers has two connected serial interfaces.

This statement is true if the diagram indicates that a router has two serial interfaces. In network diagrams, routers often have multiple interfaces to connect different segments or other routers, particularly for WAN connections.

Statement E: The subnet address of PC-B has 18 bits dedicated to the network portion.

If PC-B's subnet is represented by an address such as 192.168.x.x/18, then 18 bits are used for the network portion, leaving 14 bits for host addresses. This aligns with standard subnetting practices where a /18 subnet mask means the first 18 bits define the network, and the remaining bits define host addresses.

For example, a subnet mask of 255.255.192.0 corresponds to /18 in CIDR notation, indicating that the first 18 bits are for the network portion.

Incorrect Statements:

Statement A: PC-A and PC-B are in the same subnet.

This statement can be evaluated based on the IP addresses and subnet masks provided for PC-A and PC-B. If they share the same network portion of their addresses and subnet masks, then they are in the same subnet. However, without explicit addresses, this cannot be verified.

Statement C: The subnet of PC-C can contain 256 hosts.

For a subnet to contain 256 hosts, it would need a /24 subnet mask (255.255.255.0), which provides 256 IP addresses (254 usable for hosts). The subnet mask should be examined to determine the validity of this statement.

Statement D: R1 and R3 are in the same subnet.

This depends on the IP addresses and subnet masks assigned to the interfaces on R1 and R3. If they are within the same network range, then they would be in the same subnet.

Since the network diagram is not provided, the verification is based on common networking principles and standard practices in subnetting. For detailed and accurate confirmation, the exact IP addresses, subnet masks, and interface connections need to be reviewed.

The Ansible playbook provided in the exhibit performs the following tasks:

Uses the ios_command module to issue the show conf command on the CISCO_ROUTER_01 device.

Registers the output of the command into the variable config.

Copies the content of config.stdout[0] (the first line of the command output) to a file in /etc/ansible/configs/.

This sequence of tasks effectively backs up the running configuration of the router by capturing the current configuration output and saving it to a file.

Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process where the developer first writes a test for a new function, then writes the code to pass the test, and finally refactors the code. The steps in TDD are:

Write a Failing Test Case: Before any code is written, a test case is created to define the desired functionality.

Write Code to Pass the Test: The minimal amount of code necessary to pass the test is written.

Refactor: The code is refactored for optimization and improvement while ensuring that the tests still pass.

Model-driven programmability offers several benefits:

Model-driven APIs for abstraction and simplification: These APIs provide a higher level of abstraction, making it easier to manage and automate networks.

Models decoupled from transport, protocol, and encoding: This decoupling ensures that the same model can be used with different transport protocols, making the system more flexible and easier to integrate with various technologies.

A load balancer distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure that no single server bears too much load. This helps in balancing the traffic load, improving performance, and enhancing the availability of the applications hosted on the servers.

In this question, the network engineer is using the RESTCONF API to update information about device interfaces. The RESTCONF API uses the YANG data modeling language and can encode data in either XML or JSON format. The appropriate headers must be set to specify the content type and the format in which the data is expected.

RESTCONF API: This API allows network devices to be managed using web-based protocols, and it relies on the YANG data model to represent the configuration data.

Content-Type and Accept headers: These headers define the media type of the resource. The Content-Type header tells the server what type of data is being sent by the client. The Accept header indicates the type of data that the client can receive from the server.

Option A is the correct answer because it specifies the correct content type and accept headers for using XML with YANG data models in RESTCONF API calls.

When authenticating a RESTCONF API session with a router running Cisco IOS XE Software, basic authentication is required. This involves sending a username and password encoded in Base64 as part of the HTTP headers.
