What benefit does DHCP provide to a network? 1. Hosts can connect to the network and get an IP address without manual configuration. 2. Duplicate addresses cannot occur on a network that issues dynamic addresses using DHCP and has static assignments. 3. DHCP allows users to refer to locations by a name rather than an IP address. 4. Hosts always have the same IP address and are therefore always reachable.

Hosts can connect to the network and get an IP address without manual configuration.

While trying to solve a network issue, a technician made multiple changes to the current router configuration file. The changes did not solve the problem and were not saved. What action can the technician take to discard the changes and work with the file in NVRAM? 1. Issue the reload command without saving the running configuration. 2. Close and reopen the terminal emulation software. 3. Delete the vlan.dat file and reboot the device. 4. Issue the copy startup-config running-config command.

Issue the reload command without saving the running configuration.

19. Which statement is true about the running configuration file in a Cisco IOS device? 1. It should be deleted using the erase running-config command. 2. It is automatically saved when the router reboots. 3. It affects the operation of the device immediately when modified. 4. It is stored in NVRAM.

It affects the operation of the device immediately when modified.

A network administrator needs to keep the user ID, password, and session contents private when establishing remote CLI connectivity with a switch to manage it. Which access method should be chosen? 1. AUX 2. SSH 3. Console 4. Telnet

Switch# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)# interface vlan 1 Switch(config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.0 Switch(config-f)# exit Switch(config)# ip default=gateway 192.168.10.220 Switch(config)# exit Switch# %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console Switch# ping 192.168.10.220 Type escape sequence to abort Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.10.220, timeout is 2 seconds:....... Success rate is 0 percent (0/5) Refer to the above. A switch was configured as shown. A ping to the default gateway was issued, but the ping was not successful. Other switches in the same network can ping this gateway. What is a possible reason for this? 1. The default gateway address must be 192.168.10.1. 2. The ip default-gateway command has to be issued in the VLAN interface configuration mode. 3. The VLAN IP address and the default gateway IP address are not in the same network. 4. The no shutdown command was not issued for VLAN 1. 5. The local DNS server is not functioning correctly.

The no shutdown command was not issued for VLAN1

Which procedure is used to access a Cisco 2960 switch when performing an initial configuration in a secure environment? 1. Use the console port to locally access the switch from a serial or USB interface of the PC. 2. Use Secure Shell to remotely access the switch through the network​. 3. Use Telnet to remotely access the switch through the network. 4. Use the AUX port to locally access the switch from a serial or USB interface of the PC.

Use the console port to locally access the switch from a serial or USB interface of the PC.

Match the description to the common IOS CLI access method (Not all options are used) Virtual interface - Target (Y) AUX port - Target (X) AUX port - Target (Y) Virtual interface - Target (X) Console port - Target (X) Console port - Target (Y)

Virtual interface - Target (Y)->It requires an active network connection. (Y) AUX port - Target (X) -> It connects through dialup connections. (X) AUX port - Target (Y) -> It is not supported on Catalyst switch devices. (Y) Virtual interface - Target (X) -> It uses Telnet or SSH protocols for access. (X) Console port - Target (X) -> It displays startup, debugging, and error messages by default. (X) Console port - Target (Y) -> It can be used to restore an out-of-box configuration on a switch or router. (Y)
