Cisco Exam 300-420 Topic 7 Question 103 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-420 exam

Question #: 103
Topic #: 7

Since installing a cisco TelePresence system, the company is experiencing other application having response issues when the system in use. As a result, the company asked an architect to recommend a QoS solution. The customer is currently using a CBWFQ policy to manage traffic on an internet connection with a speed of 100 Mbps. Which link-capacity limit must the architect choose for strict-priority for the real-time traffic?

A25 Mbps

B50 Mbps

C33 Mbps

D75 Mbps

The sum of all bandwidth allocation on an interface cannot exceed 75 percent of the total available interface bandwidth. The remaining 25 percent is used for other overhead, including Layer 2 overhead, routing traffic, and best-effort traffic. Bandwidth for the CBWFQ class-default class, for instance, is taken from the remaining 25 percent.

I'm just going to close my eyes and point to an answer. That's how I passed the last one, right? *chuckles* Oh, wait, this is a serious exam. Hmm, I'll go with B) 50 Mbps.

Wait, are we sure the question isn't a trick? What if the answer is actually E) All of the above? Just kidding, but you never know with these certification exams.

I disagree, I believe the answer is D) 75 Mbps because it should be higher to prioritize real-time traffic.

This is a tough one. I'm going to have to go with B) 50 Mbps. Anything higher might be overkill, and anything lower could cause issues for the real-time traffic.

D) 75 Mbps? That's a bit too much, isn't it? I'd go with A) 25 Mbps to be on the safe side.

D) Yeah, 75 Mbps does seem high. A) 25 Mbps is a safer option.

Hmm, I'm not sure. C) 33 Mbps seems like a reasonable compromise between giving the real-time traffic priority and leaving enough bandwidth for other applications.

I think the answer is B) 50 Mbps. The strict-priority queue should be limited to about half the total bandwidth to ensure that other traffic is not starved.
