6
Which two statements are true regarding the response to an RFQ?(Choose two.)

The response should be brief.

it should strictly conform to the formatting requirements specified by the RFQ.

Only the items that the contracting company will be addressing should be
answered.

The response helps the customer compare pricing with other potential contractors.

The response is more complicated than a response to a RFP.


7
What are two disadvantages of using a bottom-up approach instead
of a top-down approach to network design? (Choose two.)

It can result in an inappropriate network design.

A new design cannot be implemented right away.

It does not take into account the business goals of the company.

This approach is not commonly practiced and is therefore not as well known.

It requires tedious and time-consuming meetings with the customer to develop an
understanding of the organization.

to justify the financial investment in implementing the technology change

to provide an example of a previous job done in the RFP

to define the technical requirements of the network

to define timelines and critical milestones


10
What is the purpose of creating a prioritized list of technical
requirements?

defines the project scope

determines the business profitability

creates a feasibility report for analysis

identifies existing and new user groups

13
What is the purpose of system-level acceptance testing?

To develop an installation plan for the newly designed network

to train end users and support personnel on the newly installed network

to check that the newly installed network meets the business goals and design
requirements

to justify the financial investment required to implement the technology change


14
What is a purpose of establishing a network baseline?

It provides a statistical average for network performance.

It manages the performance of network devices.

It checks the security configuration of network devices.


15
When should a network baseline be performed within the stages of the Cisco Lifecycle Services?

Prepare Phase

Plan Phase

Design Phase

Implement Phase

Operate Phase


16
What are two benefits of using a top-down approach instead of a bottom-up approach to
network design? (Choose two.)

incorporates organizational requirements

allows for a quick response to a design request

requires less time up front to create a network design

clarifies design goals from the perspective of applications and network solutions

facilitates a design by using devices and technologies that are based on previous
experience

18
A network engineer working for a contracting company is
informed of a pre-bid meeting with a potential client. What purpose does the network
engineer have for attending the pre-bid meeting?

to clarify project scope and timelines not included in the original request for proposal

to create a business case outlining reasons for financial investment in a network
upgrade
