They are received and processed by every device on the local network.

What property of ARP allows MAC addresses of frequently used servers to be fixed in the ARP table?

A static IP-to-MAC address entry can be entered manually into an ARP table.

Where are IPv4 address to Layer 2 Ethernet address mappings maintained on a host computer?

ARP cache

What statement describes the function of the Address Resolution Protocol?

ARP is used to discover the MAC address of any host on the local network.

A network administrator requires access to manage routers and switches locally and remotely. What access method matches this description: remote access via a dialup connection?

Why is NAT not needed in IPv6?​

Any host or user can get a public IPv6 network address because the number of available IPv6 addresses is extremely large.​

Communication between the switch and remote users is encrypted.

What property of ARP causes cached IP-to-MAC mappings to remain in memory longer?

Entries in an ARP table are time-stamped and are purged after the timeout expires.

A new network administrator has been asked to enter a banner message on a Cisco device. What is the fastest way a network administrator could test whether the banner is properly configured?

Exit privileged EXEC mode and press Enter .

Which destination address is used in an ARP request frame?

FFFF.FFFF.FFFF

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?

Flow Label

A feature of the IP protocol

IP relies on upper layer services to handle situations of missing or out-of-order packets.

What are two potential network problems that can result from ARP operation?

On large networks with low bandwidth, multiple ARP broadcasts could cause data communication delays. Network attackers could manipulate MAC address and IP address mappings in ARP messages with the intent of intercepting network traffic.

Phase 1

What phase of the boot up process of a Cisco router matches this function: locate and load the Cisco IOS software?

Phase 2

Phase 3

What IPv4 header field identifies the upper layer protocol carried in the packet?

R1(config-if)#

What is the device mode at which the following command is entered: login?

R1(config-line)#

What is the device mode at which the following command is entered: enable?

R1>

Which command results in the following action: displays a message when the router is accessed?

Router(config)# banner motd #

Which command results in the following action: configures a name on the router?

Router(config)# hostname CL1

Which command results in the following action: provides security on the console?

Router(config-line)# password class

What are two services provided by the OSI network layer?

Routing packets toward the destination Encapsulating PDUs from the transport layer

A network administrator requires access to manage routers and switches locally and remotely. What access method matches this description: remote access method that uses encryption?

SSH

Which term describes a field in the IPv4 packet header used to limit the lifetime of a packet?

TTL

A network administrator requires access to manage routers and switches locally and remotely. What access method matches this description: unsecure remote access?

Telnet

What information does the loopback test provide?

The TCP/IP stack on the device is working correctly.

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 computer has an invalid default gateway address.

A router boots and enters setup mode. What is the reason for this?

The configuration file is missing from NVRAM.

What is the effect of using the Router# copy running-config startup-config command on a router?

The contents of NVRAM will change.

Within a production network, what is the purpose of configuring a switch with a default gateway address?

The default gateway address is used to forward packets originating from the switch to remote networks.

What property of ARP causes the request to be flooded out all ports of a switch except for the port receiving the ARP request?

The destination MAC address FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF appears in the header of the Ethernet frame.

What property of ARP forces all Ethernet NICs to process an ARP request?

The destination MAC address FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF appears in the header of the Ethernet frame.

Under which two circumstances will a switch flood a frame out of every port except the port that the frame was received on?

The frame has the broadcast address as the destination address. The destination address is unknown to the switch.

What will happen if the default gateway address is incorrectly configured on a host?

The host cannot communicate with hosts in other networks.

What property of ARP causes a reply only to the source sending an ARP request?

The source MAC address appears in the header of the Ethernet frame.

The global configuration command ip default-gateway 172.16.100.1 is applied to a switch. What is the effect of this command?

The switch can be remotely managed from a host on another network.

What property of ARP causes the NICs receiving an ARP request to pass the data portion of the Ethernet frame to the ARP process?

The type field 0x806 appears in the header of the Ethernet frame.

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.​

Which field in the IPv4 header is used to prevent a packet from traversing a network endlessly?

Time-to-Live (TTL)

What are two functions of NVRAM?

To retain contents when power is removed To store the startup configuration file

What is a basic characteristic of the IP protocol?

connectionless
