What service is provided by HTTP?
A basic set of rules for exchanging text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files on the web.
What are two problems that can be caused by a large number of ARP request and reply messages? (Choose two.)
A large number of ARP request and reply messages may slow down the switching process, leading the switch to make many changes in its MAC table. The ARP request is sent as a broadcast, and will flood the entire subnet.
Match each item to the type of topology diagram on which it is typically identified. (Not all options are used.) (Q45)
A logical topology diagram typically depicts the IP addressing scheme and groupings of devices and ports. A physical topology diagram shows how those devices are connected to each other and the network, focusing on the physical locations of intermediary devices, configured ports, and cabling.

What are two features of ARP? (Choose two.)
If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it responds with an ARP reply. If a host is ready to send a packet to a local destination device and it has the IP address but not the MAC address of the destination, it generates an ARP broadcast.
What mechanism is used by a router to prevent a received IPv4 packet from traveling endlessly on a network?
It decrements the value of the TTL field by 1 and if the result is 0, it discards the packet and sends a Time Exceeded message to the source host.
How does the service password-encryption command enhance password security on Cisco routers and switches?
It encrypts passwords that are stored in router or switch configuration files.
A client is using SLAAC to obtain an IPv6 address for its interface. After an address has been generated and applied to the interface, what must the client do before it can begin to use this IPv6 address?
It must send an ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation message to ensure that the address is not already in use on the network.
A host is trying to send a packet to a device on a remote LAN segment, but there are currently no mappings in its ARP cache. How will the device obtain a destination MAC address?
It will send an ARP request for the MAC address of the default gateway.
