Which network devices secure API platform?

Digitaltut’s Answer: Next-Generation Intrusion Detection System
RatedR’s Answer: Web Application Firewalls

I agree with RatedR’s answer. But how come Digitaltut has a different answer or why is it that they never corrected it?

Any update from T Bag??

T Bag is a hoax. A classless act to get what he wanted.

Which network devices secure API platform?

Digitaltut: Next-Generation Intrusion Detection System
RatedR: Web Application Firewall

Why is it digitaltut has a different answer to this and never got corrected?

I have just pass the exam. I had around 35+ new questions not seen in any dump. I had two new questions from section 8 at digitatut (added 23.02.2022). It seems that the passing level has been downgraded to 70-75%. Good luck.

Congrats @ROCNE
Can you remember some of the new questions?

After 3 days, my premium membership expires and ccnp expires on March 11. But it is said that new questions are constantly coming. I hope new questions come before my premium membership ends.

@No more CCNP

Dude VCE is very good, thanks.

What tool do you use to open VCE files? Is it one provided here from T Bag?

@PM

I am using VCEplayer

I had posted link for v c e file few pages back. Plz check.

I put in pdf version but not showing up.

T Bag hasn’t replied nor posted anything.
Stop taking his name

Thank you all! I have premium membership till 28.02 so in case i need it for enarsi later.

@No more CCNP is valid dump that you posted? How many questions on premium area? Anybody knows?

@AnonymousWhat file are u talking about it?

Just passed my exam!

Premium definitely valid, about 30 to 40 new questions!

Just know all the material on this site well and you will be fine!

Thanks again Digital Tut!

@AAA how many questions do we have in premium area?

1.) How does CEF switching differ from process switching on Cisco devices?

A. CEF switching saves memory by sorting adjacency tables in dedicate memory on the line cards, and process switching stores all tables in the main memory
B. CEF switching uses adjacency tables built by the CDP protocol, and process switching uses the routing table
C. CEF switching uses dedicated hardware processors, and process switching uses the main processor
D. CEF switching uses proprietary protocol based on IS-IS for MAC address lookup, and process switching uses in MAC address table

Can someone who took exam recently tell us if this was one of the question you saw in exam?

CEF switching (or Cisco Express Forwarding) is a proactive, deterministic IP forwarding mechanism. Routing table (RIB) as computed by routing protocols is copied into forwarding table (FIB), where it’s combined with adjacency information (ARP or ND table) to form a deterministic lookup table.

When a router uses CEF switching, there’s (almost) no need to punt packets sent to unknown destinations to IP Input process; if a destination is not in the FIB, it does not exist.

There are still cases where CEF switching cannot do its job. For example, packets sent to IP addresses on directly connected interfaces cannot be sent to destination hosts until the router performs ARP/ND MAC address resolution; these packets have to be sent to the IP Input process.

The directly connected prefixes are thus entered as glean adjacencies in the FIB, and as the router learns MAC address of the target host (through ARP or ND reply), it creates a dynamic host route in the FIB pointing to the adjacency entry for the newly-discovered directly-connected host.

Process switching is the oldest, simplest and slowest packet forwarding mechanism. Packets received on an interface trigger an interrupt, the interrupt handler identifies the layer-3 protocol based on layer-2 packet headers (example: Ethertype in Ethernet packets) and queues the packets to (user mode) packet forwarding processes (IP Input and IPv6 Input processes in Cisco IOS).

Once the input queue of a packet forwarding process becomes non-empty, the operating system schedules it. When there are no higher-priority processes ready to be run, the operating system performs a context switch to the packet forwarding process.

When the packet forwarding process wakes up, it reads the next entry from its input queue, performs destination address lookup and numerous other functions that might be configured on input and output interfaces (NAT, ACL …), and sends the packet to the output interface queue.

Not surprisingly, this mechanism is exceedingly slow … and Cisco IOS is not the only operating system struggling with that – just ask anyone who tried to run high-speed VPN tunnels implemented in Linux user mode processes on SOHO routers.

I feel answer is A

A. CEF switching saves memory by sorting adjacency tables in dedicate memory on the line cards, and process switching stores all tables in the main memory

@No MORE CCNP I downloaded the V C E but it looks like that it doesn’t show the right answer…
am I wrong? There are 280 questions more or less, and you can see in the review if you answered correct or wrong, but if you answered wrongly it doesn’t say which was the correct answer, so you have to go for attemp. Is it normal?

In the P D F there are almost 600 questions (too much) in the V C E there are around 280

in the V C E the correct answers are not shown, isn’t it?

the right answer is not shown in the V C E file am I right?

@DigitalTUT

I think I have some new questions, im a premium member how can we check it?

@RatedR in wich post you put your email so I could shared to you en help to make it VCE

@Almost CCNP you can post it right here so we can all check and verify it. If all is good then RatedR can include it in the VCE file.

Thanks for helping us!

1.) How does CEF switching differ from process switching on Cisco devices?

A. CEF switching saves memory by sorting adjacency tables in dedicate memory on the line cards, and process switching stores all tables in the main memory
B. CEF switching uses adjacency tables built by the CDP protocol, and process switching uses the routing table
C. CEF switching uses dedicated hardware processors, and process switching uses the main processor
D. CEF switching uses proprietary protocol based on IS-IS for MAC address lookup, and process switching uses in MAC address table

The clear choices are A and C:

with letter A being a more distinct/granular answer while letter C is somewhat a more generalized answer (not entirely wrong)

Explanation:
CEF can be implemented either in software or using specialized hardware circuits (ASIC) –> This statement eliminated option C as it only states that “CEF uses dedicated hardware processors” when in fact CEF can also be a software-based.

So the answer is A.

That is also a reworded question that first came out on July 2021

What is the difference between CEF and process switching?

A. CEF processes packets that are too complex for process switching to manage.

B. CEF is more CPU-intensive than process switching.

C. CEF uses the FIB and the adjacency table to make forwarding decisions, whereas process switching punts each packet.

D. Process switching is faster than CEF.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
Punt is often used to describe the action of moving a packet from the fast path (CEF) to the route processor for handling.
Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) provides the ability to switch packets through a device in a very quick and efficient way while also keeping the load on the router’s processor low. CEF is made up of two different main components: the Forwarding Information Base Adjacency Table.
Process switching is the slowest switching methods (compared to fast switching and Cisco Express Forwarding) because it must find a destination in the routing table. Process switching must also construct a new Layer 2 frame header for every packet. With process switching, when a packet comes in, the scheduler calls a process that examines the routing table, determines which interface the packet should be switched to and then switches the packet. The problem is, this happens for the every packet.

@Almost CCNP how many questions are we talking about here? If it is too many then upload it to mediafire so that we can all check

I passed today and a i saw a lot of new questions that are not on here.

@AAA is right, about 30 – 40 new questions

Wow that’s a lot of new questions!

What you recommend at this point ABI?

Thanks @DigitalTut for removing spam messages.

@ABI, Did u see RatedR’s dump? Arn’t new Quesions there?

Just saw that they added new questions to part 9.

Almost all those questions appeared in my exam.

Just pay for premium, it’s definitely worth it.

Keep practicing the big composite exams and know the basics for all the questions you get wrong!

Good luck!

@r2d2, DigitalTut just updated the questions and i got all those questions.

@ABI…..please how many new questions has digitaltut updated? Is that the 30-40 questions you and AAA talked about? Or you got entirely new questions from what we have here. Congrats on passing your exam.

They don’t give scores anymore. it will just say pass or fail.

I saw the update already thanks ABI!

Wait, so DigitalTut just updated the questions and now all questions (and new questions) are there?

Is that for the PDF or just premium?

@Anon just premium the perks of having one.

If you’re not a premium member be one now. It is worth it and helps @Digitaltut in maintaining this site.

@ AnonymousRatedR
I checked, all questions are here, thanks man.

So if I buy premium I will have everything I need to pass the exam? They have updated to include new questions? Or are there still questions missing from premium?

@Anon added 13 new questions yesterday.
