Q

What are the layer 4 parameters that can be used for classification?

A

17
Q

What are the layer 7 parameters that can be used for classification?

A

Application signatures via Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR).

18
Q

Marking at layer 2 can be done using what field?

A

802.1Q/p class of service (CoS)

19
Q

Marking at layer 3 can be done using what field?

A

IP type of service (ToS) byte. The first 3 bits of the ToS byte are the IPP bits. These first 3 bits combined with the next 3 bits are known collectively as the DSCP bits.

20
Q

If a session uses more than the allocated bandwidth, traffic can be dropped, which can be configured using what?

A

A Policier

21
Q

What are considered traffic-smoothing tools that work in conjunction with buffering mechanisms?

A

Shapers

22
Q

What does shaping use to ensure packets are not dropped immediately?

A

buffer

23
Q

Which of the following are considered QoS models? (Choose all that apply.)

Best-effort

NBAR

IntServ

DiffServ

A

Best-effort

IntServ

DiffServ

24
Q

True or false: Traffic shaping does not drop traffic, so retransmission is not necessary.

A

True

25
Q

What provides bandwidth guarantees to given classes of traffic and fairness to discrete traffic flows within these traffic classes?

A

Class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ)

26
Q

What provides strict priority servicing and is intended for real-time applications, such as voice traffic?

A

Low-latency queuing (LLQ)

27
Q

What command would you use to define a traffic class?

A

class-map command

28
Q

What command would you use to create a traffic policy?

A

policy-map command

29
Q

What in the QoS config determines how to treat the classified traffic?

A

policy-map

30
Q

What command do use to apply the QoS policy on an interface?

A

service-policy command

31
Q

True or false: Queuing mechanisms on a device are activated only when there is congestion and deactivated when congestion no longer exists.

A

True

32
Q

Which of the following QoS implementation models is most commonly used?

Best-effort

Assured forwarding

IntServ

DiffServ

A

DiffServ

33

Q

What type of QoS policy implementation is coded at the CLI and requires each interface to be individually configured? It is time-consuming.

Q

What type of QoS policy implementation applies a possible QoS configuration to the interface? It is the fastest way to implement QoS.

38
Q

Refer to the exhibit. Which statement about the last two lines of this policy map configuration is false?

R1(config)# policy-map COPP_policy
R1(config-pmap)# class COPP_class
R1(config-pmap-c)# police 300000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
R1(config-pmap-c)# class class-default
R1(config-pmap-c)# police rate 50 pps conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

The class-default class is always automatically placed at the end of every policy map.

It includes an implied match for all packets.

You can reconfigure the match criteria for the class-default class.

Traffic beyond 50 pps will be dropped.

A

You can reconfigure the match criteria for the class-default class.
