Free Practice Questions for Cisco 500-560 Exam

Cisco Meraki's architecture uses an out-of-band control plane. If a device loses connection to the Meraki Cloud, client data traffic continues to flow locally and normally, while management and monitoring features are paused until connectivity is restored. This behavior is explicitly confirmed by Cisco documentation stating that during cloud disconnect, user traffic is unaffected and only configuration/monitoring stops.

Physical stacking in Meraki MS switches is only supported within the same model family and series. The MS350-48 and MS350-24X belong to the same MS350 series and are explicitly listed as stack-compatible in Cisco Meraki documentation. Stacking between different series (e.g., MS225 and MS350 or MS225 and MS425) is not supported. MS120 switches do not support physical stacking at all. Therefore, option B is the correct and only valid choice.

The Cisco Aggregation Services Router (ASR) 1000 Series is specifically designed to serve as an edge or aggregation layer router in enterprise and service provider networks. It supports high-throughput aggregation of WAN links, advanced routing, and services such as NAT, firewalling, and encryption at scale. This distinguishes it from branch routers like ISR 900 and 4000, and virtual appliances like CSR 1000V. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Cisco describes Express Specialization tier customers—typically small to midsize organizations—as facing significant constraints in both budget and personnel resources. The official study guide highlights that “shrinking IT budgets and resource scarcity” are common pain points, leading to challenges in deploying and maintaining robust networking solutions despite growing demand. This makes option A the accurate choice.

In the Cisco Meraki web user interface, application visibility and control features are found in the Monitoring Panel. This panel offers detailed insights into bandwidth usage, application-level analytics (Layer 7), and allows administrators to monitor real-time application traffic.

It also provides tools to apply traffic shaping rules and prioritize or restrict certain applications based on business policies. While the dashboard is the general entry point, the specific feature for visibility and control is accessed through the monitoring panel, making A the correct choice.
