Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Practice Test

What is the effect of the given configuration in the exhibit?

1. It creates a default class

2. It creates a resource class

3. It oversubscribes VPN sessions for the given class

4. It allows each context to utilize all available resources

The correct answer is: It creates a resource class

The correct choice is that the configuration creates a resource class. In the context of networking and specifically in models like Cisco's, resource classes are used to define how resources such as bandwidth and hardware are allocated and managed for specific traffic types or user groups. By creating a resource class, the configuration essentially groups certain types of traffic or user sessions, allowing for more organized and efficient resource management. This is particularly important in environments where multiple types of traffic need to coexist and where prioritizing certain types of traffic (like voice over data) is crucial for maintaining quality of service. The other options do not accurately reflect the implications of the configuration. The idea of creating a default class typically refers to a generic handling of all unmatched traffic, rather than classifying resources for specific uses. Similarly, oversubscribing VPN sessions would imply that available resources are being spread too thin, which runs contrary to the intention of establishing clear resource classifications. Lastly, allowing each context to utilize all available resources speaks more to a uniform allocation rather than the detailed management that a resource class provides, which is focused on organizing resources effectively rather than permitting unrestricted access to all resources.
