Week 9 Review Questions

What is an advantage of using SSH over Telnet when remotely connecting to a switch? More connection lines Username and password authentication Connection-oriented services Encryption

Encryption

The network administrator wants to configure an IP address on a Cisco switch. How does the network administrator assign the IP address? On the physical interface connected to the router or next-hop device On the management VLAN On the switch interface FastEthernet0/0 With a label maker

On the management VLAN

Which are valid commands used to verify the switch has been configured correctly? (Choose three) S1# show interfaces S1# show vlans S1# show running-config S1# show ip interface brief S1# show subinterfaces

S1# show interfaces S1# show running-config S1# show ip interface brief

Which initial switch configuration tasks should always be performed? (Choose three.) Save the running config to the startup config Name the device to distinguish it from other switches by setting a hostname Paint the switch to match the datacenter décor Disable auto-MDIX on all switchports Configure passwords

Save the running config to the startup config Name the device to distinguish it from other switches by setting a hostname Configure passwords

Which two tasks does auto negotiation in an Ethernet network accomplish? (Choose two.) Sets MAC address assignments on switch port Sets the link duplex mode Sets the link speed Sets the IP address Sets the ring speed

Sets the link duplex mode Sets the link speed

Why should a default gateway be assigned to a switch? So the command line interface of the switch can be accessed from other networks So that frames can be sent through the switch to the router So that there can be remote connectivity to the switch via such programs as Telnet and ping So that frames generated from workstations and destined for remote networks can pass to a higher level

So that frames can be sent through the switch to the router

What type of cable would be used to connect a router to a switch if neither supports auto-MDIX? Straight-through Trick question; these devices cannot be connected. Coaxial Crossover

Straight-through

Consider the configuration) Which two commands are not needed on the switch in order for a remote network administrator to access the switch using SSH? Switch(config)# ip ssh version 2 Switch(config)# crypto key generate rsa Switch(config-if)# transport input ssh Switch(config)# line vty 0 15 Switch(config)# ip domain-name mydomain.com

Switch(config)# ip ssh version 2 Switch(config-if)# transport input ssh

What is a Cisco best practice for deploying switches? Telnet should be used whenever possible on the switch vty lines. The enable secret password should be used when configuring a switch to use SSH on the vty lines. When a server connects to a switch, the switch port should have the port speed manually configured, but the auto negotiation feature used for duplex. A compound word should be used as a password on an infrastructure network device such as a switch.

When a server connects to a switch, the switch port should have the port speed manually configured, but the auto negotiation feature used for duplex.

When would auto-MDIX be best to use? When any device connects to an access layer switch When a switch connects to a router When a switch connects to another switch When the cable type is unknown

When the cable type is unknown
