141. Which of these recommended designs provides the highest availability?

A. map the Layer 2 VLAN number to the Layer 3 subnet
B. control route propagation to edge switches using distribute lists
C. use a Layer 2 distribution interconnection link with HSRP or GLBP
D. use a Layer 3 distribution interconnection link with HSRP or GLBP
E. use equal-cost Layer 3 load balancing on all links to limit the scope of queries in EIGRP

Answer: A

this answer is correct?

Joe,

I would say C is correct. A is definitely not correct. Mapping the Layer 2 VLAN number to the Layer 3 subnet only helps with configuration and management; doesn’t provide any high availability feature!

Thanks Pedram, I see this question in TI 5.27.

When BGP tuning is used, how is packet flow into the e-commerce module controlled?
A. by tracking the status of objects along the path to the e-commerce module
B. by detecting undesirable conditions along the path to the e-commerce module
C. by using the MED to communicate the site preferences for traffic to multiple ISPs
D. by communicating the available prefixes, routing policies, and preferences of each site to its
ISP
E. by moving the SLB to a position where selected traffic to and from the servers does not go
through the SLB

I thought it would be med but answer listed is D. Preference is local ibg decision while med are advertised out. However i have seen ebgp routes used to set preference to use primary isp over secondary.
Anyone have thoughts on this one? Thanks

I am taking the exam tomorrow in NY and will let everyone know how it goes

QUESTION NO: 74, I would go with A as the answer, not sure how he is justifying B as the answer ..
QUESTION NO: 79 the options give are not complete or incorrect once are given.

@Bookworm did you write the exam ?? or still preparing.

Q36. Which recommended practice is applicable?

B. A dedicated campus core layer should be deployed for connecting three or more buildings
C. If no core layer is deployed, the distribution switches should not be fully meshed
D. A dedicated campus core layer is not needed for connecting fewer than five buildings

Answer: D – wrong.
Should be B.

Proof – Chapter “Enterprise Campus Design” from Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (SWITCH) Foundation Learning Guide: Foundation learning for SWITCH 642-813

“…As a recommended practice, deploy a dedicated campus core layer to connect three or more physical segments, such as building in the enterprise campus or four or more pairs of building distribution switches in a large campus… “

@r2d2
Q36 fixed. But others are not (checked Q36, Q54, Q80)… May be a 5.5 version a little better, but still not 100% valid. PDF version is more accurate, btw.

@r2d2 and bd .. thanks for putting the new vce and pdf .
@eLex : There is a new 642-874 book published on Cisco Press. I am not finding it any where on Internet or in Cisco Library .
