ROUTE FAQs & Tips

August 1st, 2018 in ROUTE 300-101 Go to comments

In this article, I will try to summarize all the Frequently Asked Questions in the ROUTE 300-101 Exam. Hope it will save you some time searching through the Internet and asking your friends & teachers.

1. Please tell me how many questions in the real ROUTE exam, and how much time to answer them?

There are 50 questions, including 4 lab-sims. You have 120 minutes to answer them but if your native language is not English, Cisco allows you a 30-minute exam time extension (150 minutes in total).

2. How much does the ROUTE 300-101 cost? And how many points I need to pass the exam?

This exam costs $300. You need at least 790/1000 points to pass this exam.

3. I passed the ROUTE exam, will I get a certificate for it?

No, Cisco does not ship ROUTE Exam certificate, it only ships you a certificate after completing the full CCNP track of 3 exams (ROUTE, SWITCH & TSHOOT) within three years. Once again we have to notice that you need to finish these three exams within three years (not nine years). Many candidates misunderstand this and think they have nine years to complete three exams.

4. Which sims will I see in the ROUTE exam?

The popular sims now are Policy Based routing sim, EIGRP OSPF Redistribution sim, OSPF Evaluation Sim and EIGRP Evaluation Sim and please notice that the IP addresses, router names may be different (it is also true for Drag and Drop questions)

5. How many points will I get for one sim?

Maybe you will get about 80 to 100 points for each sim, just like the CCNA exam.

6. In the real exam, I clicked “Next” after choosing the answer, can I go back for reviewing?

No, you can’t go back so you can’t re-check your answers after clicking the “Next” button.

7. What is the difference between the old BSCI & the new ROUTE exam?

In the new ROUTE exam, there are no IS-IS, DHCP, Multicast questions so you can ignore them if you are reading old BSCI books. In fact, DHCP & Multicast are good topics and maybe you will have a chance to learn about them in other Cisco exams.

8. Can I use short commands, for example “conf t” instead of “configure terminal”? Will I get full mark for short commands?

From the comments on this site, maybe you will get full mark for short commands. But sometimes short commands don’t work so please be careful with them. We highly recommend you should learn the full commands.

9. What are your recommended materials for ROUTE?

There are many materials for learning ROUTE but below are popular materials that many candidates recommend.

Books

CCNP ROUTE Official Certification Guide

ROUTE Student Guide

CCNP ROUTE Portable Command Guide

CCNP Route Quick Reference Sheet

Video training

CBT Nuggets

Simulator (all are free)

 

GNS3 – the best simulator for learning ROUTE

Packet Tracer

10. How much time should I spend on each sim?

You should not spend more than 15 minutes for each sim. Recall that you only have 90 minutes so if you spend 15 minutes for each sim x 4 sims = 60 minutes. The 30 minutes left is for solving 46 multiple choice & drag-and-drop questions. If you are not a native English speaker and have 30-minute expansion (ask the mentor to confirm) than you can spend 20 minutes for each sim.

11. Can I pass without doing sims?

As mentioned above, each sim will cost you from 80 to 100 points. In the real exam you will have to solve 4 sims that give from 320 to 400 points. Suppose you answer all other questions perfectly then you will get 600 to 680 points but the passing score is 790. It means that you surely fail if ignore them.

From the calculation above, if you miss only one sim the chance to pass is average but if you miss two, the chance to pass is very, very low.

12. Are the exam questions the same in all the geographical locations?

Yes, the exam questions are the same in all geographical locations. But notice that Cisco has a pool of questions and each time you take the exam, a number of random questions will show up so you will not see all the same questions as the previous exam.

13. I don’t want to lose points so should I use the “copy running-config startup-config” after finishing each lab-sim?

In the ROUTE exam, we can’t use that command so surely you will not lose any points if not using that command.

14. I passed the ROUTE exam. Do you have any site similar for CCNP exams?
We have certprepare.com for SWITCH, networktut.com for TSHOOT, voicetut.com for CCNA Voice, securitytut.com for CCNA Security, rstut.com for CCIE Written & Lab, dstut.com for CCDA. Hope you enjoy these sites too!

15. Why don’t I see any questions and answers on digitaltut.com? I only see the explanation…

Because of copyrighted issues, we had to remove all the questions and answers. You can download a PDF file to see the questions at this link: http://www.digitaltut.com/encor-questions-and-answers

Is there anything you want to ask, just ask! All of us will help you.

    Q1. which network type doesnt contain dr/bdr in ospf ?(choose two)
    Ans: ( Point to point)
    Ans: ( point-to-multipoint )
    loopback and point to multipoint non-broadcast network types also do not contain DR/BDR.
    Q2. ipv6 access list and need to apply it to block traffic INBOUND telnet and interface ( choose two )
    Ans: there are 5 choices 2 inbound 3 outbound so we have to choose 2 inbound choices only
    Explanation:
    q about restricting ipv6 access to ssh. Had to pick 2 answers. One that is applied to the fa0/0 and one that is applied to vty lines. Its basically IN or OUT.
    Q3. CEF: highlight of the configuration snippet was the “valid punt adjacency”.
    Output of show ip cef 45.0.0.0 is displayed.
    center#show ip cef 45.0.0.0
    45.0.0.0/8, version 184, 0 packets, 0 bytes
    via 1.1.1.1, Tunnel0, 0 dependencies
    next hop 1.1.1.1, Tunnel0
    valid punt adjacency
    Looks like that:
    Ans:Not supported in CEF, forward to the next switching layer
    Explanation:
    Glean adjacency –in short when the router is directly connected to hosts the FIB table on the router will maintain a prefix for the subnet rather than for the individual host prefix. This subnet prefix points to a GLEAN adjacency.
    Punt adjacency –When packets to a destination prefix can’t be CEF Switched, or the feature is not supported in the CEF Switching path, the router will then use the next slower switching mechanism configured on the router.
    Q4. Which command enable pppoe client and specify dial-on demand routing ?
    Ans: PPPOE-Client dial-pool-number
    Q5. Eigrp is implemented in a frame relay network but there is no adjacency. Which options cause the adjacency to come up? (choose 2)
    Ans: disable split horizon
    Ans: neighbor command to configure it for a point to multipoint on the WAN interface
    Explanation:
    most likely requirements I can think of:
    frame relay encapsulation to set
    under the physical interface configuration use the “no frame-relay inverse-arp” command
    under the sub-interface configuration use the “no ip split-horizon eigrp xyz”
    Q6. Allowing website access between certain times
    Ans: Filters using Time-Based ACLs
    Explanation:
    Time based ACL’s are pretty simple;
    Absolute refers to a specific starting and or ending time to be used in your acl, whereas your periodic based configuration refers to a period of time, for instance, weekends, or a day like Monday, Tuesday, etc. You can also still set a start and end time for the specific period you’ve chosen.
    Q7. OSPF implemented in a frame relay network but there is no adjacency (choose two)
    Ans: use the neighbor command and to set POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT on the WAN interface.
    Ans: disable SPLIT-HORIZON and use sub-interfaces.
    edge interfacing,
    a.
    tunnel feedback,
    b.
    route replication
    c.
    route redistribution.
    d.
    Q8. Cisco evn related question, a network engineer implemented Cisco EVN. Which feature implements shared services support?
    Ans: C [should be]
    Explanation:
    This kind depends on the software release you’re running.
    Route Replication is supported for static, EIGRP, and OSPF routes. For BGP routes it would probably make use of the export method to copy between VRF’s. From this I would assume the answer to be route replication.

    Q9. which network type doesn’t contain DR/BDR in ospf ? (choose two)
    Ans: point to point
    Ans: point to multipoint or non-broadcast
    Explanation:
    Point to point, point to multipoint –the broadcast and non-broadcast is the only 2 network types that require a DR/BDR.
    Q10. which two DMVPN phases allow to spoke to create dynamic tunnels?
    Ans: Phase 2 -Hub and Spoke with Spoke-to-Spoke tunnels (mgre everywhere)
    Ans: Phase 3
    apply the ipv6 acl under a vty
    a.
    ip access-class
    b.
    ipv6 access class
    c.
    Access-list IN
    d.
    Access-list OUT
    e.
    Q11. ip sla network with a configuration snippet
    Ans: a
    Ans: d
    Explanation
    http://www.firewall.cx/cisco-technical-knowledgebase/cisco-routers/813-cisco-router-ipsla-basic.html
    Access list ingress
    a.
    Access list egress
    b.
    Route available in FIB
    c.
    ——————————
    d.
    Q12. What is uRPF checking first when the packet enters the interface?
    Ans: C
    Explanation
    When Unicast RPF is enabled on an interface, the router examines all packets received as input on that interface to make surethat the source address and source interface appear in the routing table and match the interface on which the packet was received. This “look backwards” ability is available only when Cisco express forwarding (CEF) is enabled on the router, because the lookup relies on the presence of the Forwarding Information Base (FIB). CEF generates the FIB as part of its operation.
    Interface dialer
    a.
    ip address negotiated
    b.
    pppoe enable
    c.
    another option I can’t remember
    d.
    Q13. What command is needed to get the ip address assigned from the PPPOE server?
    Ans: ip address negotiated
    Explanation
    Probability to reduce tcp segmentation or drop
    a.
    Another option with TCP…
    b.
    Something with UDP session…
    c.
    Another option with UDP…
    d.
    Q14. What does the command “ip tcp adjust mss” do?
    Ans: A
    Explanation:
    ip tcp mss-adjust is a brilliant command because in the moment you coordinate the values of layer two frames and layer four segments yougreatly reduce fragmentation that can be a quite big issue considering the environment you are talking about (ISP-MPLS VPN and CE-CE || CE-PE routing
    Absolute Saturday Sunday 01:00 to 11:59
    a.
    periodic Saturday Sunday 01:00 to 23:59
    b.
    Q15. ALWAYS block the outbound web traffic on Saturdays and Sunday between 1:00 to 23:59 with 4 options out of which
    Ans: b
    Explanation:
    The question about the time-based acl is also not difficult, you can find out the correct option easily.
    The only thing you have to pay attention is about the line with the time, there are two options which are almost identical except for the time notation (12 hours / 24 hours)

    @ JuAn

    I was looking and there is nothing like Searchable both on URPF. I think this is typo and should be Reachable both. Never the less the correct answer is D

    “An access list may also be specified that permits or denies certain source addresses in Unicast RPF loose mode.”

Went through the 149q and 56q and those are still valid, though I had around 10 new questions I didnt see before. No drag&drop but 4 SIMs – PBR, OSPFv6 Virtual Link, OSPF config and OSPF questions. Remember guys first study and after that do the questions otherwise it makes no sense!
