Which domain name would be an example of a top-level domain? www.cisco.com cisco.com .com root.cisco.com

.com Explanation: Top-level domains represent a country or type of organization, such as .com or .edu.

What are the three ranges of IP addresses that are reserved for internal private use? (Choose three.) 10.0.0.0/8 64.100.0.0/14 127.16.0.0/12 172.16.0.0/12 192.31.7.0/24 192.168.0.0/16

10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16 Explanation: The private IP address blocks that are used inside companies are as follows: 10.0.0.0 /8 (any address that starts with 10 in the first octet) 172.16.0.0 /12 (any address that starts with 172.16 in the first two octets through 172.31.255.255) 192.168.0.0 /16 (any address that starts with 192.168 in the first two octets)

Which subnet would include the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address? 192.168.1.64/26 192.168.1.32/27 192.168.1.32/28 192.168.1.64/29

192.168.1.64/26 Explanation: For the subnet of 192.168.1.64/26, there are 6 bits for host addresses, yielding 64 possible addresses. However, the first and last subnets are the network and broadcast addresses for this subnet. Therefore, the range of host addresses for this subnet is 192.168.1.65 to 192.168.1.126. The other subnets do not contain the address 192.168.1.96 as a valid host address.

Refer to the exhibit. Consider the IP address of 192.168.10.0/24 that has been assigned to a high school building. The largest network in this building has 100 devices. If 192.168.10.0 is the network number for the largest network, what would be the network number for the next largest network, which has 40 devices? 192.168.10.0 192.168.10.128 192.168.10.192 192.168.10.224 192.168.10.240

192.168.10.128 Explanation: The first thing to calculate is what IP addresses are used by the largest LAN. Because the LAN has 100 hosts, 7 bits must be left for host bits. This would be a subnet mask of 255.255.255.128 for the largest LAN (192.168.10.0/25). The IP addresses range from 192.168.10.0 through 192.168.10.127. 192.168.10.0 is the network number (all 0s in the host bits) and 192.168.10.127 is the broadcast for this Ethernet LAN (all 1s in the host bits). The next available IP address is the next network number - 192.168.10.128.

Which three addresses are valid public addresses? (Choose three.) 198.133.219.17 192.168.1.245 10.15.250.5 128.107.12.117 192.15.301.240 64.104.78.227

198.133.219.17 128.107.12.117 64.104.78.227

What is the most compressed representation of the IPv6 address 2001:0000:0000:abcd:0000:0000:0000:0001? 2001:0:abcd::1 2001:0:0:abcd::1 2001::abcd::1 2001:0000:abcd::1 2001::abcd:0:1

2001:0:0:abcd::1 Explanation: The IPv6 address 2001:0000:0000:abcd:0000:0000:0000:0001 in its most compressed format would be 2001:0:0:abcd::1. The first two hextets of zeros would each compress to a single zero. The three consecutive hextets of zeros can be compressed to a double colon ::. The three leading zeros in the last hextet can be removed. The double colon :: can only be used once in an address.

What is the dotted decimal representation of the IPv4 address 11001011.00000000.01110001.11010011? 192.0.2.199 198.51.100.201 203.0.113.211 209.165.201.223

203.0.113.211 Explanation: Each section (octet) contains eight binary digits. Each digit represents a specific value (128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1). Everywhere there is a 1, the specific value is relevant. Add all relevant values in a particular octet to obtain the decimal value. For example binary 11001011 equals 203 in decimal.

A site administrator has been told that a particular network at the site must accommodate 126 hosts. Which subnet mask would be used that contains the required number of host bits? 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.128 255.255.255.224 255.255.255.240

255.255.255.128 Explanation: The subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 has 8 host bits. The mask of 255.255.255.128 results in 7 host bits. The mask of 255.255.255.224 has 5 host bits. Finally, 255.255.255.240 represents 4 host bits.

How many hosts are addressable on a network that has a mask of 255.255.255.248? 2 6 8 14 16 254

6 Explanation: The subnet mask of 255.255.255.248 is the same as /29. This means the network portion of the address is 29 of the 32 bits in the address. Only 3 bits remain for host bits. 2^3 = 8, but one of these addresses has to be used for the network number and one address must be used as the broadcast address to reach all of the hosts on this network. That leaves only 6 usable IP addresses that can be assigned to hosts in this network. Don't forget that the default gateway must be one of these devices if this network is to communicate with other networks.

How many valid host addresses are available on an IPv4 subnet that is configured with a /26 mask? 254 190 192 62 64

62 Explanation: When a /26 mask is used, 6 bits are used as host bits. With 6 bits, 64 addresses are possible, but one address is for the subnet number and one address is for a broadcast. This leaves 62 addresses that can be assigned to network devices.

Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is testing connectivity to a remote device with the IP address 10.1.1.1. What does the output of this command indicate? Switch# ping 10.1.1.1 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds: UUUUU Success rate is 0 percent (0/5) Connectivity to the remote device was successful. A router along the path did not have a route to the destination. A ping packet is being blocked by a security device along the path. The connection timed out while waiting for a reply from the remote device.

A router along the path did not have a route to the destination. Explanation: In the output of the ping command, an exclamation mark (!) indicates a response was successfully received, a period (.) indicates that the connection timed out while waiting for a reply, and the letter "U" indicates that a router along the path did not have a route to the destination and sent an ICMP destination unreachable message back to the source.

What are three characteristics of multicast transmission? (Choose three.) The source address of a multicast transmission is in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255. A single packet can be sent to a group of hosts. Multicast transmission can be used by routers to exchange routing information. Routers will not forward multicast addresses in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255. Computers use multicast transmission to request IPv4 addresses. Multicast messages map lower layer addresses to upper layer addresses.

A single packet can be sent to a group of hosts. Multicast transmission can be used by routers to exchange routing information. Routers will not forward multicast addresses in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255. Explanation: Broadcast messages consist of single packets that are sent to all hosts on a network segment. These types of messages are used to request IPv4 addresses, and map upper layer addresses to lower layer addresses. A multicast transmission is a single packet sent to a group of hosts and is used by routing protocols, such as OSPF and RIPv2, to exchange routes. The address range 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255 is reserved for link-local addresses to reach multicast groups on a local network.

Which scenario describes a function provided by the transport layer? A student is using a classroom VoIP phone to call home. The unique identifier burned into the phone is a transport layer address used to contact another network device on the same network. A student is playing a short web-based movie with sound. The movie and sound are encoded within the transport layer header. A student has two web browser windows open in order to access two web sites. The transport layer ensures the correct web page is delivered to the correct browser window. A corporate worker is accessing a web server located on a corporate network. The transport layer formats the screen so the web page appears properly no matter what device is being used to view the web site.

A student has two web browser windows open in order to access two web sites. The transport layer ensures the correct web page is delivered to the correct browser window. Explanation: The source and destination port numbers are used to identify the correct application and window within that application.

Refer to the exhibit. If host A sends an IP packet to host B, what will the destination address be in the frame when it leaves host A?

BB:BB:BB:BB:BB:BB Explanation: When a host sends information to a distant network, the Layer 2 frame header will contain a source and destination MAC address. The source address will be the originating host device. The destination address will be the router interface that connects to the same network. In the case of host A sending information to host B, the source address is AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA and the destination address is the MAC address assigned to the R2 Ethernet interface, BB:BB:BB:BB:BB:BB.

What method is used to manage contention-based access on a wireless network? CSMA/CD priority ordering CSMA/CA token passing

CSMA/CA Explanation: Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is used with wireless networking technology to mediate media contention. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) is used with wired Ethernet technology to mediate media contention. Priority ordering and token passing are not used (or not a method) for media access control.

A wireless host needs to request an IP address. What protocol would be used to process the request? FTP HTTP DHCP ICMP SNMP

DHCP Explanation: The DHCP protocol is used to request, issue, and manage IP addressing information. CSMA/CD is the access method used with wired Ethernet. ICMP is used to test connectivity. SNMP is used with network management and FTP is used for file transfer.

A user is unable to reach the web site when typing http://www.cisco.com in a web browser, but can reach the same site by typing http://72.163.4.161. What is the issue? default gateway DHCP DNS TCP/IP protocol stack

DNS Explanation: Domain Name Service (DNS) is used to translate a web address to an IP address. The address of the DNS server is provided via DHCP to host computers.​

Which two protocols operate at the highest layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack? (Choose two.) DNS Ethernet IP POP TCP UDP

DNS POP Explanation: The application layer is the top layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack. Application layer protocols include HTTP, DNS, HTML, TFTP, POP, IMAP, FTP, and SMTP.

A home user is looking for an ISP connection that provides high speed digital transmission over regular phone lines. What ISP connection type should be used? DSL dial-up satellite cell modem cable modem

DSL

Which range of link-local addresses can be assigned to an IPv6-enabled interface?​ FEC0::/10​ FDEE::/7​ FE80::/10 FF00::/8​

FE80::/10 Explanation: Link-local addresses are in the range of FE80::/10 to FEBF::/10. The original IPv6 specification defined site-local addresses and used the prefix range FEC0::/10, but these addresses were deprecated by the IETF in favor of unique local addresses. FDEE::/7 is a unique local address because it is in the range of FC00::/7 to FDFF::/7. IPv6 multicast addresses have the prefix FF00::/8.

Refer to the exhibit. Match the packets with their destination IP address to the exiting interfaces on the router. (Not all targets are used.) gateway of last resort is 0.0.0.0 to network 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets 10.1.0.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0 172.17.0.0/24 is subnetted, 4 subnets 172.17.6.0/24 [110/2] via 192.168.3.4, 00:10:41, FastEthernet0/0 172.17.10.0/24 [110/2] via 192.168.5.2, 00:09:52, FastEthernet1/1 172.17.12.0/24 [110/2] via 192.168.4.2, 00:12:23, FastEthernet1/0 172.17.14.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1 192.168.3.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0 192.168.4.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet1/0 192.168.5.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet1/1 0.0.0.0/0 is directly connected

FastEthernet0/0 packets with destination of 172.17.6.15 FastEthernet0/1 packets with destination of 172.17.14.8 FastEthernet1/0 packets with destination of 172.17.12.10 FastEthernet1/1 packets with destination of 172.17.10.5 Serial0/0/0 packets with destination of 172.17.8.20 The packet is dropped - Explanation: Packets with a destination of 172.17.6.15 are forwarded through Fa0/0. Packets with a destination of 172.17.10.5 are forwarded through Fa1/1. Packets with a destination of 172.17.12.10 are forwarded through Fa1/0. Packets with a destination of 172.17.14.8 are forwarded through Fa0/1. Because network 172.17.8.0 has no entry in the routing table, it will take the gateway of last resort, which means that packets with a destination of 172.17.8.20 are forwarded through Serial0/0/0. Because a gateway of last resort exists, no packets will be dropped.

What are two benefits of using a layered network model? (Choose two.) It assists in protocol design. It speeds up packet delivery. It prevents designers from creating their own model. It prevents technology in one layer from affecting other layers. It ensures a device at one layer can function at the next higher layer.

It assists in protocol design. It prevents technology in one layer from affecting other layers. Explanation: Some vendors have developed their own reference models and protocols. Today, if a device is to communicate on the Internet, the device must use the TCP/IP model. The benefits of using a layered model are as follows: assists in protocol design fosters competition between vendors prevents a technology that functions at one layer from affecting any other layer provides a common language for describing network functionality helps in visualizing the interaction between each layer and protocols between each layer

What function does pressing the Tab key have when entering a command in IOS? It aborts the current command and returns to configuration mode. It exits configuration mode and returns to user EXEC mode. It moves the cursor to the beginning of the next line. It completes the remainder of a partially typed word in a command.

It completes the remainder of a partially typed word in a command. Explanation: Pressing the Tab key after a command has been partially typed will cause the IOS to complete the rest of the command.

What purpose does NAT64 serve in IPv6? It converts IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets. It translates private IPv6 addresses into public IPv6 addresses. It enables companies to use IPv6 unique local addresses in the network. It converts regular IPv6 addresses into 64-bit addresses that can be used on the Internet. It converts the 48-bit MAC address into a 64-bit host address that can be used for automatic host addressing.

It converts IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets. Explanation: NAT64 is typically used in IPv6 when networks are being transitioned from IPv4 to IPv6. It allows the IPv6 networks to connect to IPv4 networks (such as the Internet), and works by translating the IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets.

What is an advantage to using a protocol that is defined by an open standard? A company can monopolize the market. The protocol can only be run on equipment from a specific vendor. An open standard protocol is not controlled or regulated by standards organizations. It encourages competition and promotes choices.

It encourages competition and promotes choices. Explanation: A monopoly by one company is not a good idea from a user point of view. If a protocol can only be run on one brand, it makes it difficult to have mixed equipment in a network. A proprietary protocol is not free to use. An open standard protocol will in general be implemented by a wide range of vendors.

What is the function of the shell in an OS? It interacts with the device hardware. It interfaces between the users and the kernel. It provides dedicated firewall services. It provides the intrusion protection services for the device.

It interfaces between the users and the kernel. Explanation: Most operating systems contain a shell and a kernel. The kernel interacts with the hardware and the shell interfaces between the kernel and the users.

What are two characteristics of fiber-optic cable? (Choose two.) It is not affected by EMI or RFI. Each pair of cables is wrapped in metallic foil. It combines the technique of cancellation, shielding, and twisting to protect data. It typically contains 4 pairs of fiber-optic wires. It is more expensive than UTP cabling is.

It is not affected by EMI or RFI. It is more expensive than UTP cabling is. Explanation: Fiber-optic cabling supports higher bandwidth than UTP for longer distances. Fiber is immune to EMI and RFI, but costs more, requires more skill to install, and requires more safety precautions.

What are three characteristics of an SVI? (Choose three.) It is designed as a security protocol to protect switch ports. It is not associated with any physical interface on a switch. It is a special interface that allows connectivity by different types of media. It is required to allow connectivity by any device at any location. It provides a means to remotely manage a switch. It is associated with VLAN1 by default.

It is not associated with any physical interface on a switch. It provides a means to remotely manage a switch. It is associated with VLAN1 by default. Explanation: Switches have one or more switch virtual interfaces (SVIs). SVIs are created in software since there is no physical hardware associated with them. Virtual interfaces provide a means to remotely manage a switch over a network that is using IP. Each switch comes with one SVI appearing in the default configuration "out-of-the-box." The default SVI interface is VLAN1.

What is a characteristic of the LLC sublayer? It provides the logical addressing required that identifies the device. It provides delimitation of data according to the physical signaling requirements of the medium. It places information in the frame allowing multiple Layer 3 protocols to use the same network interface and media. It defines software processes that provide services to the physical layer.

It places information in the frame allowing multiple Layer 3 protocols to use the same network interface and media. Explanation: The Logical Link Control (LLC) defines the software processes that provide services to the network layer protocols. The information is placed by LLC in the frame and identifies which network layer protocol is being used for the frame. This information allows multiple Layer 3 protocols, such as IPv4 and IPv6, to utilize the same network interface and media.

What will a host on an Ethernet network do if it receives a frame with a destination MAC address that does not match its own MAC address? It will discard the frame. It will forward the frame to the next host. It will remove the frame from the media. It will strip off the data-link frame to check the destination IP address.

It will discard the frame. Explanation: In an Ethernet network, each NIC in the network checks every arriving frame to see if the destination MAC address in the frame matches its own MAC address. If there is no match, the device discards the frame. If there is a match, the NIC passes the frame up to the next OSI layer.

What unique address is embedded in an Ethernet NIC and used for communication on an Ethernet network? host address IP address MAC address network address

MAC address Explanation: The MAC address is a 48-bit address that is burned into every Ethernet NIC. Each MAC address is unique throughout the world.

SVI Explanation: For a switch to have an IP address, a switch virtual interface must be configured. This allows the switch to be managed remotely over the network.

Which statement accurately describes a TCP/IP encapsulation process when a PC is sending data to the network? Data is sent from the internet layer to the network access layer. Packets are sent from the network access layer to the transport layer. Segments are sent from the transport layer to the internet layer. Frames are sent from the network access layer to the internet layer.

Segments are sent from the transport layer to the internet layer. Explanation: When the data is traveling from the PC to the network, the transport layer sends segments to the internet layer. The internet layer sends packets to the network access layer, which creates frames and then converts the frames to bits. The bits are released to the network media.

What protocol is responsible for controlling the size of segments and the rate at which segments are exchanged between a web client and a web server? TCP IP HTTP Ethernet

TCP Explanation: TCP is a Layer 4 protocol of the OSI model. TCP has several responsibilities in the network communication process. It divides large messages into smaller segments which are more efficient to send across the network. It also controls the size and rate of segments exchanged between clients and servers.

A PC obtains its IP address from a DHCP server. If the PC is taken off the network for repair, what happens to the IP address configuration? The configuration is permanent and nothing changes. The address lease is automatically renewed until the PC is returned. The address is returned to the pool for reuse when the lease expires. The configuration is held by the server to be reissued when the PC is returned.

The address is returned to the pool for reuse when the lease expires. Explanation: When a DCHP address is issued to a host, it is for a specific lease time. Once the lease expires, the address is returned to the DHCP pool.

Refer to the exhibit. What will be the result of entering this configuration the next time a network administrator connects a console cable to the router and no additional commands have been entered?

The administrator will be required to enter Cisco234. The administrator will be required to enter Cisco789. The administrator will be presented with the R1> prompt.

The administrator will be presented with the R1> prompt. Explanation: Until both the password password and the login commands are entered in console line configuration mode, no password is required to gain access to enable mode.

A network technician is attempting to configure an interface by entering the following command: SanJose(config)# ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0. The command is rejected by the device. What is the reason for this? The command is being entered from the wrong mode of operation. The command syntax is wrong. The subnet mask information is incorrect. The interface is shutdown and must be enabled before the switch will accept the IP address

The command is being entered from the wrong mode of operation. Explanation: The wrong mode of operation is being used. The CLI prompt indicates that the mode of operation is global configuration. IP addresses must be configured from interface configuration mode, as indicated by the SanJose(config-if)# prompt.

Refer to the exhibit. From global configuration mode, an administrator is attempting to create a message-of-the-day banner by using the command banner motd V Authorized access only! Violators will be prosecuted! V When users log in using Telnet, the banner does not appear correctly. What is the problem? Authorized access only! Rouer> The banner message is too long. The delimiting character appears in the banner message. The symbol "!" signals the end of a banner message. Message-of-the-day banners will only appear when a user logs in through the console port.

The delimiting character appears in the banner message.

After making configuration changes on a Cisco switch, a network administrator issues a copy running-config startup-config command. What is the result of issuing this command? The new configuration will be stored in flash memory. The new configuration will be loaded if the switch is restarted. The current IOS file will be replaced with the newly configured file. The configuration changes will be removed and the original configuration will be restored.

The new configuration will be loaded if the switch is restarted. Explanation: With the copy running-config startup-config command, the content of the current operating configuration replaces the startup configuration file stored in NVRAM. The configuration file saved in NVRAM will be loaded when the device is restarted.

Which statement is true about variable-length subnet masking? Each subnet is the same size. The size of each subnet may be different, depending on requirements. Subnets may only be subnetted one additional time. Bits are returned, rather than borrowed, to create additional subnets.

The size of each subnet may be different, depending on requirements. Explanation: In variable-length subnet masking, bits are borrowed to create subnets. Additional bits may be borrowed to create additional subnets within the original subnets. This may continue until there are no bits available to borrow.

Refer to the exhibit. On the basis of the output, which two statements about network connectivity are correct? (Choose two.) tracert 192.168.100.1 Tracing route to 192.168.100.1 over a maximum of 30 1 1 ms < 1 ms < 1 ms 10.10.10.10 2 2 ms 2 ms 1 ms 192.168.1.22 3 2 ms 2 ms 1 ms 192.168.1.62 4 2 ms 2 ms 1 ms 172.16.1.1 5 2 ms 2 ms 1 ms 192.168.100.1 There is connectivity between this device and the device at 192.168.100.1. The connectivity between these two hosts allows for videoconferencing calls. There are 4 hops between this device and the device at 192.168.100.1. The average transmission time between the two hosts is 2 milliseconds. This host does not have a default gateway configured.

There is connectivity between this device and the device at 192.168.100.1. There are 4 hops between this device and the device at 192.168.100.1. Explanation: The output displays a successful Layer 3 connection between a host computer and a host at 19.168.100.1. It can be determined that 4 hops exist between them and the average transmission time is 1 milliseconds. Layer 3 connectivity does not necessarily mean that an application can run between the hosts.

What is a characteristic of multicast messages? They are sent to a select group of hosts. They are sent to all hosts on a network. They must be acknowledged. They are sent to a single destination.

They are sent to a select group of hosts. Explanation: Multicast is a one-to-many type of communication. Multicast messages are addressed to a specific multicast group.

Which three statements characterize UDP? (Choose three.) UDP provides basic connectionless transport layer functions. UDP provides connection-oriented, fast transport of data at Layer 3. UDP relies on application layer protocols for error detection. UDP is a low overhead protocol that does not provide sequencing or flow control mechanisms. UDP relies on IP for error detection and recovery. UDP provides sophisticated flow control mechanisms.

UDP provides basic connectionless transport layer functions. UDP relies on application layer protocols for error detection. UDP is a low overhead protocol that does not provide sequencing or flow control mechanisms. Explanation: UDP is a simple protocol that provides the basic transport layer functions. It has much lower overhead than TCP because it is not connection-oriented and does not offer the sophisticated retransmission, sequencing, and flow control mechanisms that provide reliability.

On which switch interface would an administrator configure an IP address so that the switch can be managed remotely? FastEthernet0/1 VLAN 1 vty 0 console 0

VLAN 1 Explanation: Interface VLAN 1 is a virtual interface on a switch, called SVI (switch virtual interface). Configuring an IP address on the default SVI, interface VLAN 1, will allow a switch to be accessed remotely. The VTY line must also be configured to allow remote access, but an IP address cannot be configured on this line.

A company is expanding its business to other countries. All branch offices must remain connected to corporate headquarters at all times. Which network technology is required to support this requirement? LAN MAN WAN WLAN

WAN Explanation: A local-area network (LAN) normally connects end users and network resources over a limited geographic area using Ethernet technology. A wireless LAN (WLAN) serves the same purpose as a LAN but uses wireless technologies. A metropolitan-area network (MAN) spans a larger geographic area such as a city, and a wide-area network (WAN) connects networks together over a large geographic area. WANs can span cities, countries, or the globe.

What is a characteristic of a fault tolerant network? a network that protects confidential information from unauthorized access a network that can expand quickly to support new users and applications without impacting the performance of the service delivered to existing users a network that supports a mechanism for managing congestion and ensuring reliable delivery of content to all users a network that recovers quickly when a failure occurs and depends on redundancy to limit the impact of a failure

a network that recovers quickly when a failure occurs and depends on redundancy to limit the impact of a failure Explanation: Fault tolerant networks limit the impact of a failure because the networks are built in a way that allows for quick recovery when such a failure occurs. These networks depend on multiple or redundant paths between the source and destination of a message. A scalable network can expand quickly to support new users and applications without impacting the performance of the service being delivered to existing users. Quality of service (QoS) is a mechanism for managing congestion and ensuring reliable delivery of content to all users.

Which connection provides a secure CLI session with encryption to a Cisco switch? a console connection an AUX connection a Telnet connection an SSH connection

What are the three primary functions provided by Layer 2 data encapsulation? (Choose three.) error correction through a collision detection method session control using port numbers data link layer addressing placement and removal of frames from the media detection of errors through CRC calculations delimiting groups of bits into frames conversion of bits into data signals

data link layer addressing detection of errors through CRC calculations delimiting groups of bits into frames Explanation: Through the framing process, delimiters are used to identify the start and end of the sequence of bits that make up a frame. Data link layer addressing is added to enable a frame to be delivered to a destination node. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) field is calculated on every bit and added to the frame. If the CRC value contained in the arriving frame is the same as the one the receiving node creates, the frame will be processed.

Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator for a small advertising company has chosen to use the 192.168.5.96/27 network for internal LAN addressing. As shown in the exhibit, a static IP address is assigned to the company web server. However, the web server cannot access the Internet. The administrator verifies that local workstations with IP addresses that are assigned by a DHCP server can access the Internet, and the web server is able to ping local workstations. Which component is incorrectly configured? IP address 192.168.5.98 Subnet mask 255.255.255.224 Default gateway 192.168.5.1 Preferred DNS server: 128.208.3.254 subnet mask DNS address host IP address default gateway address

default gateway address Explanation: When a 255.255.255.224 subnet mask is used, the first three bits of the last octet are part of the network portion for an IPv4 address in the subnet. For the 192.168.5.96/27 network, valid host addresses are 192.168.5.97 through 192.168.5.126. The default gateway address is for the Layer 3 device on the same network and it must contain an IP address within the valid IP address range.

What addresses are mapped by ARP? destination MAC address to a destination IPv4 address destination IPv4 address to the source MAC address destination IPv4 address to the destination host name destination MAC address to the source IPv4 address

destination MAC address to a destination IPv4 address Explanation: ARP, or the Address Resolution Protocol, works by mapping a destination MAC address to a destination IPv4 address. The host knows the destination IPv4 address and uses ARP to resolve the corresponding destination MAC address.

What important information is added to the TCP/IP transport layer header to ensure communication and connectivity with a remote network device? timing and synchronization destination and source port numbers destination and source physical addresses destination and source logical network addresses

destination and source port numbers Explanation: The destination and source port numbers are used to identify exactly which protocol and process is requesting or responding to a request.

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is configuring access control to switch SW1. If the administrator uses a console connection to connect to the switch, which password is needed to access user EXEC mode? Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z SW1 (config)# enable password letmein SW1 (config)# enable secret secretin SW1 (config)# line console 0 SW1 (config-line)# password lineconin SW1 (config-line)# login SW1 (config-line)# exit SW1 (config)# line vty 0 15 SW1 (config-line)# password linevtyin SW1 (config-line)# login SW1 (config-line)# end SW1#

lineconin Explanation: Telnet accesses a network device through the virtual interface configured with the line VTY command. The password configured under this is required to access the user EXEC mode. The password configured under the line console 0 command is required to gain entry through the console port, and the enable and enable secret passwords are used to allow entry into the privileged EXEC mode.

What type of IPv6 address is FE80::1? loopback link-local multicast global unicast

link-local Explanation: Link-local IPv6 addresses start with FE80::/10, which is any address from FE80:: to FEBF::. Link-local addresses are used extensively in IPv6 and allow directly connected devices to communicate with each other on the link they share.

When applied to a router, which command would help mitigate brute-force password attacks against the router? exec-timeout 30 service password-encryption banner motd $Max failed logins = 5$ login block-for 60 attempts 5 within 60

login block-for 60 attempts 5 within 60 Explanation: The login block-for command sets a limit on the maximum number of failed login attempts allowed within a defined period of time. If this limit is exceeded, no further logins are allowed for the specified period of time. This helps to mitigate brute-force password cracking since it will significantly increase the amount of time required to crack a password. The exec-timeout command specifies how long the session can be idle before the user is disconnected. The service password-encryption command encrypts the passwords in the running configuration. The banner motd command displays a message to users who are logging in to the device.

Which example of malicious code would be classified as a Trojan horse? malware that was written to look like a video game malware that requires manual user intervention to spread between systems malware that attaches itself to a legitimate program and spreads to other programs when launched malware that can automatically spread from one system to another by exploiting a vulnerability in the target

malware that was written to look like a video game Explanation: A Trojan horse is malicious code that has been written specifically to look like a legitimate program. This is in contrast to a virus, which simply attaches itself to an actual legitimate program. Viruses require manual intervention from a user to spread from one system to another, while a worm is able to spread automatically between systems by exploiting vulnerabilities on those devices.

Which two OSI model layers have the same functionality as two layers of the TCP/IP model? (Choose two.) data link network physical session transport

network transport Explanation: The OSI transport layer is functionally equivalent to the TCP/IP transport layer, and the OSI network layer is equivalent to the TCP/IP internet layer. The OSI data link and physical layers together are equivalent to the TCP/IP network access layer. The OSI session layer (with the presentation layer) is included within the TCP/IP application layer.

A technician can ping the IP address of the web server of a remote company but cannot successfully ping the URL address of the same web server. Which software utility can the technician use to diagnose the problem? tracert ipconfig netstat nslookup

nslookup Explanation: Traceroute (tracert) is a utility that generates a list of hops that were successfully reached along the path from source to destination.This list can provide important verification and troubleshooting information. The ipconfig utility is used to display the IP configuration settings on a Windows PC. The Netstat utility is used to identify which active TCP connections are open and running on a networked host. Nslookup is a utility that allows the user to manually query the name servers to resolve a given host name. This utility can also be used to troubleshoot name resolution issues and to verify the current status of the name servers.

When planning for network growth, where in the network should packet captures take place to assess network traffic? on as many different network segments as possible only at the edge of the network between hosts and the default gateway only on the busiest network segment

on as many different network segments as possible Explanation: Because some types of traffic will be only on specific network segments, packet captures for analysis should be performed on as many segments as possible.

A network team is comparing physical WAN topologies for connecting remote sites to a headquarters building. Which topology provides high availability and connects some, but not all, remote sites? mesh partial mesh hub and spoke point-to-point

partial mesh Explanation: Partial mesh topologies provide high availability by interconnecting multiple remote sites, but do not require a connection between all remote sites. A mesh topology requires point-to-point links with every system being connected to every other system. A point-to-point topology is where each device is connected to one other device. A hub and spoke uses a central device in a star topology that connects to other point-to-point devices.

A network administrator is troubleshooting connectivity issues on a server. Using a tester, the administrator notices that the signals generated by the server NIC are distorted and not usable. In which layer of the OSI model is the error categorized? presentation layer network layer physical layer data link layer

physical layer Explanation: The NIC has responsibilities in both Layer 1 and Layer 2. The NIC encodes the frame as a series of signals that are transmitted onto the local media. This is the responsibility of the physical layer of the OSI model. The signal could be in the form of electrical, optical, or radio waves

What is the TCP mechanism used in congestion avoidance? three-way handshake socket pair two-way handshake sliding window

sliding window Explanation: TCP uses windows to attempt to manage the rate of transmission to the maximum flow that the network and destination device can support while minimizing loss and retransmissions. When overwhelmed with data, the destination can send a request to reduce the of the window. This congestion avoidance is called sliding windows.

What information is added during encapsulation at OSI Layer 3? source and destination MAC source and destination application protocol source and destination port number source and destination IP address

source and destination IP address Explanation: IP is a Layer 3 protocol. Layer 3 devices can open the Layer 3 header to inspect the Layer 3 header which contains IP-related information including the source and destination IP addresses.

Which frame forwarding method receives the entire frame and performs a CRC check to detect errors before forwarding the frame? cut-through switching store-and-forward switching fragment-free switching fast-forward switching

store-and-forward switching Explanation: Fast-forward and fragment-free switching are variations of cut-through switching, which begins to forward the frame before the entire frame is received.

Which type of UTP cable is used to connect a PC to a switch port? console rollover crossover straight-through

straight-through Explanation: A rollover cable is a Cisco proprietary cable used to connect to a router or switch console port. A straight-through (also called patch) cable is usually used to interconnect a host to a switch and a switch to a router. A crossover cable is used to interconnect similar devices together, for example, between two switches, two routers, and two hosts.

When IPv4 addressing is manually configured on a web server, which property of the IPv4 configuration identifies the network and host portion for an IPv4 address? DNS server address subnet mask default gateway DHCP server address

subnet mask Explanation: There are several components that need to be entered when configuring IPv4 for an end device: IPv4 address - uniquely identifies an end device on the network Subnet mask - determines the network address portion and host portion for an IPv4 address Default gateway - the IP address of the router interface used for communicating with hosts in another network DNS server address - the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server DHCP server address (if DHCP is used) is not configured manually on end devices. It will be provided by a DHCP server when an end device requests an IP address.

What source IP address does a router use by default when the traceroute command is issued? the highest configured IP address on the router a loopback IP address the IP address of the outbound interface the lowest configured IP address on the router

the IP address of the outbound interface Explanation: When sending an echo request message, a router will use the IP address of the exit interface as the source IP address. This default behavior can be changed by using an extended ping and specifying a specific source IP address.

A network administrator is measuring the transfer of bits across the company backbone for a mission critical financial application. The administrator notices that the network throughput appears lower than the bandwidth expected. Which three factors could influence the differences in throughput? (Choose three.) the amount of traffic that is currently crossing the network the sophistication of the encapsulation method applied to the data the type of traffic that is crossing the network the latency that is created by the number of network devices that the data is crossing the bandwidth of the WAN connection to the Internet the reliability of the gigabit Ethernet infrastructure of the backbone

the amount of traffic that is currently crossing the network the type of traffic that is crossing the network the latency that is created by the number of network devices that the data is crossing Explanation: Throughput usually does not match the specified bandwidth of physical links due to multiple factors. These factors include, the amount of traffic, type of traffic, and latency created by the network devices the data has to cross.

A user opens three browsers on the same PC to access www.cisco.com to search for certification course information. The Cisco web server sends a datagram as a reply to the request from one of the web browsers. Which information is used by the TCP/IP protocol stack in the PC to identify which of the three web browsers should receive the reply? the destination IP address the destination port number the source IP address the source port number

the destination port number Explanation: Each web browser client application opens a randomly generated port number in the range of the registered ports and uses this number as the source port number in the datagram that it sends to a server. The server then uses this port number as the destination port number in the reply datagram that it sends to the web browser. The PC that is running the web browser application receives the datagram and uses the destination port number that is contained in this datagram to identify the client application.

In computer communication, what is the purpose of message encoding? to convert information to the appropriate form for transmission to interpret information to break large messages into smaller frames to negotiate correct timing for successful communication

to convert information to the appropriate form for transmission Explanation: Before a message is sent across a network it must first be encoded. Encoding is the process of converting the data message into another format suitable for transmission across the physical medium. Each bit of the message is encoded into a pattern of sounds, light waves, or electrical impulses depending on the network media over which the bits are transmitted. The destination host receives and decodes the signals in order to interpret the message.

What are two ways that TCP uses the sequence numbers in a segment? (Choose two.) to identify missing segments at the destination to reassemble the segments at the remote location to specify the order in which the segments travel from source to destination to limit the number of segments that can be sent out of an interface at one time to determine if the packet changed during transit

to identify missing segments at the destination to reassemble the segments at the remote location

Why does a Layer 3 device perform the ANDing process on a destination IP address and subnet mask? to identify the broadcast address of the destination network to identify the host address of the destination host to identify faulty frames to identify the network address of the destination network

to identify the network address of the destination network Explanation: ANDing allows us to identify the network address from the IP address and the network mask.

An administrator uses the Ctrl-Shift-6 key combination on a switch after issuing the ping command. What is the purpose of using these keystrokes? to restart the ping process to interrupt the ping process to exit to a different configuration mode to allow the user to complete the command

to interrupt the ping process Explanation: To interrupt an IOS process such as ping or traceroute, a user enters the Ctrl-Shift-6 key combination. Tab completes the remainder of parameters or arguments within a command. To exit from configuration mode to privileged mode use the Ctrl-Z keystroke. CTRL-R will redisplay the line just typed, thus making it easier for the user to press Enter and reissue the ping command.

What is the purpose of having a converged network? to provide high speed connectivity to all end devices to make sure that all types of data packets will be treated equally to achieve fault tolerance and high availability of data network infrastructure devices to reduce the cost of deploying and maintaining the communication infrastructure

to reduce the cost of deploying and maintaining the communication infrastructure Explanation: With the development of technology, companies can now consolidate disparate networks onto one platform called a converged network. In a converged network, voice, video, and data travel over the same network, thus eliminating the need to create and maintain separate networks. This also reduces the costs associated with providing and maintaining the communication network infrastructure.

What are two actions performed by a Cisco switch? (Choose two.) building a routing table that is based on the first IP address in the frame header using the source MAC addresses of frames to build and maintain a MAC address table forwarding frames with unknown destination IP addresses to the default gateway utilizing the MAC address table to forward frames via the destination MAC address examining the destination MAC address to add new entries to the MAC address table

using the source MAC addresses of frames to build and maintain a MAC address table utilizing the MAC address table to forward frames via the destination MAC address Explanation: Important actions that a switch performs are as follows: When a frame comes in, the switch examines the Layer 2 source address to build and maintain the Layer 2 MAC address table. It examines the Layer 2 destination address to determine how to forward the frame. When the destination address is in the MAC address table, then the frame is sent out a particular port. When the address is unknown, the frame is sent to all ports that have devices connected to that network.

In what two situations would UDP be the preferred transport protocol over TCP? (Choose two.) when applications need to guarantee that a packet arrives intact, in sequence, and unduplicated when a faster delivery mechanism is needed when delivery overhead is not an issue when applications do not need to guarantee delivery of the data when destination port numbers are dynamic

when a faster delivery mechanism is needed when applications do not need to guarantee delivery of the data Explanation: UDP is a stateless protocol, which means that neither device on either end of the conversation must keep track of the conversation. As a stateless protocol, UDP is used as the Layer 4 protocol for applications that need speedy (best-effort) delivery. An example of such traffic is the transport of digitized voice or video.
