11. What is a basic characteristic of the IP protocol? connectionless media dependent user data segmentation reliable end-to-end delivery

A

12. Which field in the IPv4 header is used to prevent a packet from traversing a network endlessly? Time-to-Live Sequence Number Acknowledgment Number Differentiated Services

A

14. What IPv4 header field identifies the upper layer protocol carried in the packet? Protocol Identification Version Differentiated Services

A

16. What information does the loopback test provide? The TCP/IP stack on the device is working correctly. The device has end-to-end connectivity. DHCP is working correctly. The Ethernet cable is working correctly. The device has the correct IP address on the network.

A

18. How do hosts ensure that their packets are directed to the correct network destination? They have to keep their own local routing table that contains a route to the loopback interface, a local network route, and a remote default route.​ They always direct their packets to the default gateway, which will be responsible for the packet delivery. They search in their own local routing table for a route to the network destination address and pass this information to the default gateway. They send a query packet to the default gateway asking for the best route.

A

8. Which parameter does the router use to choose the path to the destination when there are multiple routes available? the lower metric value that is associated with the destination network the lower gateway IP address to get to the destination network the higher metric value that is associated with the destination network the higher gateway IP address to get to the destination network

A

A network technician issues the arp -d * command on a PC after the router that is connected to the LAN is reconfigured. What is the result after this command is issued? The ARP cache is cleared. The current content of the ARP cache is displayed. The detailed information of the ARP cache is displayed. The ARP cache is synchronized with the router interface.

A

21. Under which two circumstances will a switch flood a frame out of every port except the port that the frame was received on? (Choose two.) The frame has the broadcast address as the destination address. The destination address is unknown to the switch. The source address in the frame header is the broadcast address. The source address in the frame is a multicast address. The destination address in the frame is a known unicast address.

A, B

1. Which information is used by routers to forward a data packet toward its destination? source IP address destination IP address source data-link address destination data-link address

B

19. When transporting data from real-time applications, such as streaming audio and video, which field in the IPv6 header can be used to inform the routers and switches to maintain the same path for the packets in the same conversation? Next Header Flow Label Traffic Class Differentiated Services

B

2. A computer has to send a packet to a destination host in the same LAN. How will the packet be sent? The packet will be sent to the default gateway first, and then, depending on the response from the gateway, it may be sent to the destination host. The packet will be sent directly to the destination host. The packet will first be sent to the default gateway, and then from the default gateway it will be sent directly to the destination host. The packet will be sent only to the default gateway.

B

22. Which statement describes the treatment of ARP requests on the local link? They must be forwarded by all routers on the local network. They are received and processed by every device on the local network. They are dropped by all switches on the local network. They are received and processed only by the target device.

B

3. A router receives a packet from the Gigabit 0/0 interface and determines that the packet needs to be forwarded out the Gigabit 0/1 interface. What will the router do next? route the packet out the Gigabit 0/1 interface create a new Layer 2 Ethernet frame to be sent to the destination look into the ARP cache to determine the destination IP address look into the routing table to determine if the destination network is in the routing table

B

7. Why is NAT not needed in IPv6?​ Because IPv6 has integrated security, there is no need to hide the IPv6 addresses of internal networks.​ Any host or user can get a public IPv6 network address because the number of available IPv6 addresses is extremely large.​ The problems that are induced by NAT applications are solved because the IPv6 header improves packet handling by intermediate routers.​ The end-to-end connectivity problems that are caused by NAT are solved because the number of routes increases with the number of nodes that are connected to the Internet.

B

9. What are two services provided by the OSI network layer? (Choose two.) performing error detection routing packets toward the destination encapsulating PDUs from the transport layer placement of frames on the media collision detection

B, C

10. Within a production network, what is the purpose of configuring a switch with a default gateway address? Hosts that are connected to the switch can use the switch default gateway address to forward packets to a remote destination. A switch must have a default gateway to be accessible by Telnet and SSH. The default gateway address is used to forward packets originating from the switch to remote networks. It provides a next-hop address for all traffic that flows through the switch.

C

17. What routing table entry has a next hop address associated with a destination network? directly-connected routes local routes remote routes C and L source routes

C

What is the aim of an ARP spoofing attack? to flood the network with ARP reply broadcasts to fill switch MAC address tables with bogus addresses to associate IP addresses to the wrong MAC address to overwhelm network hosts with ARP requests

C

Which destination address is used in an ARP request frame? 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 FFFF.FFFF.FFFF AAAA.AAAA.AAAA the physical address of the destination host

C

13. What is one advantage that the IPv6 simplified header offers over IPv4? smaller-sized header little requirement for processing checksums smaller-sized source and destination IP addresses efficient packet handling

D

20. What statement describes the function of the Address Resolution Protocol? ARP is used to discover the IP address of any host on a different network. ARP is used to discover the IP address of any host on the local network. ARP is used to discover the MAC address of any host on a different network. ARP is used to discover the MAC address of any host on the local network.

D

5. A computer can access devices on the same network but cannot access devices on other networks. What is the probable cause of this problem? The cable is not connected properly to the NIC. The computer has an invalid IP address. The computer has an incorrect subnet mask. The computer has an invalid default gateway address.

D

6. Which statement describes a feature of the IP protocol? IP encapsulation is modified based on network media. IP relies on Layer 2 protocols for transmission error control. MAC addresses are used during the IP packet encapsulation. IP relies on upper layer services to handle situations of missing or out-of-order packets.

D

Which IPv4 address can a host use to ping the loopback interface? 126.0.0.1 127.0.0.0 126.0.0.0 127.0.0.1

D

Which two types of IPv6 messages are used in place of ARP for address resolution? anycast broadcast echo reply echo request neighbor solicitation neighbor advertisement
