1 environmental The four classes of threats are as follows: Hardware threats - physical damage to servers, routers, switches, cabling plant, and workstations Environmental threats - temperature extremes (too hot or too cold) or humidity extremes (too wet or too dry) Electrical threats - voltage spikes, insufficient supply voltage (brownouts), unconditioned power (noise), and total power loss Maintenance threats - poor handling of key electrical components (electrostatic discharge), lack of critical spare parts, poor cabling, and poor labeling

Which network design consideration would be more important to a large corporation than to a small business? 1 redundancy 2 firewall 3 low port density switch 4 Internet router

1 redundancy Small businesses today do need Internet access and use an Internet router to provide this need. A switch is required to connect the two host devices and any IP phones or network devices such as a printer or a scanner. The switch may be integrated into the router. A firewall is needed to protect the business computing assets. Redundancy is not normally found in very small companies, but slightly larger small companies might use port density redundancy or have redundant Internet providers/links.

Which two traffic types require delay sensitive delivery? (Choose two.) 1 voice 2 FTP 3 email 4 video 5 web

1 voice 4 video Voice and video traffic have delay sensitive characteristics and must be given priority over other traffic types such as web, email, and file transfer traffic.

Which statement is true about CDP on a Cisco device?​ 1 Because it runs at the data link layer​, the CDP protocol can only be implemented in switches. 2 CDP can be disabled globally or on a specific interface​. 3 To disable CDP globally, the no cdp enable command in interface configuration mode must be used. 4 The show cdp neighbor detail command will reveal the IP address of a neighbor only if there is Layer 3 connectivity​.

2 CDP can be disabled globally or on a specific interface​. CDP is a Cisco-proprietary protocol that can be disabled globally by using the no cdp run global configuration command, or disabled on a specific interface, by using the no cdp enable interface configuration command. Because CDP operates at the data link layer, two or more Cisco network devices, such as routers can learn about each other even if Layer 3 connectivity does not exist. The show cdp neighbors detail command reveals the IP address of a neighboring device regardless of whether you can ping the neighbor.
