RCNI Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    A hospital is deploying a new ICX 7650 stack to support high-bandwidth medical imaging devices. The administrator needs to ensure that if the active stack controller fails, the standby controller takes over with minimal interruption. Which command is essential to configure this behavior?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    The stack standby command is used to explicitly designate a specific unit within the stack as the standby controller. This ensures a deterministic failover process, where the designated standby unit will take over the active controller role if the current active controller fails. This is crucial for environments requiring high availability, such as a hospital network.

  2. Question 2

    An engineer observes that an ICX 7150 switch, which was previously manageable, is no longer responding to SSH or web GUI requests after a recent configuration change. The only access available is via the console port. The show running-config output reveals no obvious errors in the IP configuration. What is the most likely cause of the management access failure?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    A common cause for losing remote management access after a configuration change is the application of an ACL that does not explicitly permit management protocols like SSH (TCP port 22) or HTTP/S (TCP ports 80/443). If an ACL is applied to the management interface or globally without a permit statement for these protocols, the implicit 'deny all' at the end of the ACL will block access. The IP configuration might be correct, but the traffic is being filtered.

  3. Question 3

    A financial services company requires that its ICX 7750 core switch be upgraded during a very short maintenance window. To minimize downtime, the network architect wants to pre-download the new FastIron image to the switch ahead of time. Which command should be used to copy the new firmware image from a TFTP server to the switch's secondary flash partition without immediately activating it?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    The command copy tftp flash secondary downloads the specified firmware image from the TFTP server and places it into the secondary flash partition. This allows the administrator to pre-stage the new firmware without affecting the currently running primary image. The switch can then be rebooted into the secondary image during the maintenance window using the boot system flash secondary command.

  4. Question 4

    A network administrator at a university campus is trying to recover a forgotten enable password on a standalone ICX 7250 switch. They have console access and have rebooted the switch. What is the correct procedure to bypass the password check during the boot process?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    The standard RUCKUS ICX password recovery procedure involves rebooting the switch and pressing 'b' when prompted to enter the boot monitor (ROMmon) mode. From the boot monitor prompt, the no password command is entered. This command flags the system to skip the password check for the next boot only. After this, the reset command is used to continue the boot process, which will then provide access to the privileged EXEC mode without a password.

  5. Question 5

    True or False: When configuring a standard, static Link Aggregation Group (LAG) on an ICX switch, the LACP protocol is actively used to negotiate the link bundling with the connected device.

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    This statement is false. A standard, static LAG (configured with the link-aggregate active command) does not use LACP. It unconditionally bundles the configured ports together. LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is used for dynamic LAGs, where devices actively negotiate the link bundle. Static LAGs are used when connecting to devices that do not support LACP or when dynamic negotiation is not desired.

  6. Question 6

    Multiple answers

    A network team is deploying 802.1X port-based authentication in a mixed-vendor environment. They want to ensure that if a user successfully authenticates on an ICX switch port, the RADIUS server can assign them to a specific VLAN for their user role. Which two RADIUS attributes are commonly used to achieve this dynamic VLAN assignment? (Select TWO).

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answers: A, B

    Tunnel-Type must be set to 'VLAN' (value 13) to indicate that the tunnel attributes are for VLAN assignment.

    Tunnel-Private-Group-ID contains the VLAN ID (as a string) to which the user should be assigned.

  7. Question 7

    A retail company is setting up a new warehouse using ICX 7150-C12P compact switches. To prevent unauthorized devices from connecting and gaining network access, the administrator implements port security with a mac-address-table static entry and the port-security maximum 1 command on an interface. What happens when a second, unknown device is connected to this secured port?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    By default, the violation action for port security on ICX switches is shutdown. When a second device connects to a port configured with port-security maximum 1, it triggers a security violation. The switch will then place the port into an error-disabled (err-disabled) state, blocking all traffic. An administrator must manually intervene by issuing no shutdown on the interface to re-enable it after the unauthorized device is removed.

  8. Question 8

    A consultant is reviewing the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) configuration on a campus network. They notice that a specific access layer switch unexpectedly becomes the root bridge for a VLAN, causing suboptimal traffic paths. To prevent this switch from ever becoming the root bridge, which STP feature should be enabled on its designated ports that connect to the distribution layer?

    graph TD subgraph Core/Distribution Core1[ICX 7750 - Root] Core2[ICX 7750 - Secondary] end subgraph Access Layer Acc1[ICX 7250] Acc2[ICX 7250 - Rogue Root] Acc3[ICX 7150] end Core1 -- "Trunk" --> Acc1 Core2 -- "Trunk" --> Acc1 Core1 -- "Trunk" --> Acc2 Core2 -- "Trunk" --> Acc2 Core1 -- "Trunk" --> Acc3 Core2 -- "Trunk" --> Acc3
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    Root Guard is the correct feature for this scenario. It is enabled on designated ports (typically uplinks towards the core/distribution layer) to enforce the STP topology. If a superior BPDU (one that would cause the local switch to become root) is received on a Root Guard-enabled port, the port is put into a 'root-inconsistent' state, effectively ignoring the superior BPDU and preventing the downstream switch from becoming the root.

  9. Question 9

    A systems administrator is configuring a new ICX 7450 switch. They need to set up a syslog server to collect critical event logs. The command logging __________ is used to specify the destination for these logs. What should be entered in the blank to send logs to a server with the IP address 192.168.10.25?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The correct command to specify a remote syslog server is logging . Therefore, to send logs to the server at 192.168.10.25, the administrator would enter logging 192.168.10.25 in the global configuration mode.

  10. Question 10

    A university is deploying RUCKUS access points that require PoE+ (802.3at) power. An ICX 7150-48PF switch is selected. According to the product specifications, what is the total PoE power budget available on this specific switch model?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    The 'P' in the ICX 7150-48P model indicates PoE/PoE+ support, while the 'F' in ICX 7150-48PF indicates a full power budget. The ICX 7150-48PF model provides a total PoE power budget of 740 Watts, which is sufficient to deliver 15.4W (PoE) to all 48 ports or 30W (PoE+) to 24 ports.
