Mod 9 Mindtap Questions
As a network administrator, Michelle has been contracted to set up the entire network for Billmain Publications. The entire network is running through three different LANs. However, after connecting the network, Michelle notices that the connection received from the ISP is not transmitted to the workstations connected through the LANs. Analyze which of the following routers Michelle should examine to fix the error. Exterior routers Edge routers SOHO routers Core routers
Core routers Feedback: Correct. Core routers are located inside networks within the same autonomous system and should be the cause of the error.
A client of yours has complained of no Internet connection since the past 12 hours. On inspection, you notice that the carrier's endpoint device is not responding as a result of which signals are not being transmitted to the client's end. Which of the following will you purchase to solve this issue? DCE DTE Smartjack Line driver
DCE Feedback: Correct. The carrier's endpoint device for the WAN is called the DCE (data circuit-terminating equipment), and this should be purchased in this scenario.
Which of the following will be the customer's endpoint device on a WAN? CSU/DSU Line driver DTE NIU
DTE Feedback: Correct. The customer's endpoint device on a WAN is called the DTE (data terminal equipment).
Which of the following routes will have an Administrative distance of 90 in a routing table? RIP routes EIGRP routes OSPF routes BGP routes
EIGRP routes
You are working as a network engineer at Shell Info. The organization uses Cisco's IOS on all of its workstations. The network administrator has asked you to use the route utility to delete some static routes used by the router. Which of the following commands will you use in this scenario? route print route show running-config show ip route
show ip route Feedback: Correct. This command should be used at the CLI using privileged EXEC mode in this scenario.
A client has complained of losing Internet connectivity. You as a network engineer troubleshoot the error, and you find that the source of the error is the computer's wired connection. You decide to solve the issue by replacing the wired connection with a wireless one. What kind of an issue are you resolving in this scenario? DNS issues Interference Interface errors Router misconfiguration
Interface errors Feedback: Correct. Misconfigured interfaces, such as an incorrect default gateway or missing DNS server addresses, can result in interface errors. One possible evaluation technique for bypassing an interface error, which will help confirm that the interface misconfiguration is the issue, is to switch to a different interface on the same device.
Joseph has been working for a client as a network engineer. He needs to access the global configuration mode to configure a Cisco router and make certain changes. Analyze which of the following commands will be set as a default prompt in this scenario. Router# Router> Router (config-if) # Router (config) #
Router (config) # Feedback: Correct. This is the default prompt that is shown when you get to the global configuration mode.
Mojaro Bank at Datona has contacted Vincent, a network provider, to provide Mojaro with a network connection that will enable it to securely conduct financial transactions with the other branches situated across various states in the United States as well as with the International Monetary Fund. Analyze which of the following connections would be best suited in this scenario. WAN LAN MAN CAN
WAN Feedback: Correct. LANs (local area networks) connect nodes, such as workstations, servers, printers, and other devices, in a small geographical area on a single organization's network.
Your device has a route to the 0.0.0.0/0 network in a routing table. What route is it, and when will it be used? 0.0.0.0/0 is not a valid route 0.0.0.0/0 is a default route. It has top priority, and the router will use it to route packets even if it has a more specific route to the destination 0.0.0.0/0 is a default route. The router uses it to route packets if it doesn't have a more specific route to the destination 0.0.0.0/0 is a route learned from the dynamic routing protocol that will never be placed in a routing table
0.0.0.0/0 is a default route. The router uses it to route packets if it doesn't have a more specific route to the destination
A workstation issues a print command to a network printer that is associated with a different LAN than the workstation but is placed within the same organization. The transmission will be covered via router as the IP address of the printer is on a different LAN. Analyze which of the following routes the router will take to deliver this message as there are no matching entries detected in the routing table. Default route Default gateway Gateway of last resort Routing metrics
Default route Feedback: Correct. Most routers have a default route as a backup route when no other route can be determined. Hence, the default route should be used by the router as no other matching entries are detected in the routing table.
What is the difference between distance vector and link state routing protocol? Distance vector routing protocol exchanges the whole routing table, while link state routing protocol exchanges information about all connected networks Distance vector routing protocol is used in private environments, and link state routing protocol is used on the Internet They are both Interior Gateway Protocols. The only difference is in configuration commands Distance vector routing protocols are used in the same autonomous system, and link state routing protocol is used in different autonomous system
Distance vector routing protocol exchanges the whole routing table, while link state routing protocol exchanges information about all connected networks
When is dynamic routing protocol preferred over static routes? Dynamic routing protocols are better in large environments where there are many networks and devices The size of the network is not important when choosing a dynamic routing protocol over a static route Dynamic routing protocols are better in smaller environments because they are simple to configure and maintain Static routing protocols have complex configurations
Dynamic routing protocols are better in large environments where there are many networks and devices
What does an L3 device use to make decisions on where to forward a packet? MAC address table Link state database Routing table EIGRP topology table
Routing table
As a network administrator, a client has approached you to set up the network for a bank. The bank will require sufficient amounts of data for both uploading and downloading purposes. Which of the following DSL varieties do you think is best suited for such requirements? VDSL ADSL DWDM SDSL
SDSL Feedback: Correct. SDSL (symmetric DSL) provides equal download and upload speed maxing out to 2 Mbps and is suited for users who both upload and download significant amounts of data.
Which of the following connect nodes, such as workstations, servers, printers, and other devices, in a small geographical area on a single organization's network? WAN LAN MAN CAN
LAN Feedback: Correct. LANs (local area networks) connect nodes, such as workstations, servers, printers, and other devices, in a small geographical area on a single organization's network.
