CCNA 1 Modules 8-10: Communicating Between Networks Exam

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 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?

FlUnder which two circumstances will a switch flood a frame out of every port except the port that the frame was received on? (Choose two.)w Label

What property of ARP allows hosts on a LAN to send traffic to remote networks?

Local hosts learn the MAC address of the default gateway.

What are two potential network problems that can result from ARP operation? (Choose two.)

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.

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

Protocol

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 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? (Choose two.)

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.

Which statement describes the treatment of ARP requests on the local link?

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

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

What is a basic characteristic of the IP protocol?

connectionless

Which term describes a field in the IPv4 packet header that contains a unicast, multicast, or broadcast address?

destination IPv4 address

What important information is examined in the Ethernet frame header by a Layer 2 device in order to forward the data onward?

destination MAC address

Which term describes a field in the IPv4 packet header that contains an 8-bit binary value used to determine the priority of each packet?

differentiated services

What is one advantage that the IPv6 simplified header offers over IPv4?

efficient packet handling

Which term describes a field in the IPv4 packet header used to detect corruption in the IPv4 header?

header checksum

Which three commands are used to set up secure access to a router through a connection to the console interface? (Choose three.)

line console 0. login. password cisco.

Which two types of IPv6 messages are used in place of ARP for address resolution?

neighbor solicitation neighbor advertisement

Which two functions are primary functions of a router? (Choose two.)

packet forwarding. path selection.

Which term describes a field in the IPv4 packet header used to identify the next level protocol?

protocol

What routing table entry has a next hop address associated with a destination network?

remote routes

What are two services provided by the OSI network layer? (Choose two.)

routing packets toward the destination. encapsulating PDUs from the transport layer.

Which parameter does the router use to choose the path to the destination when there are multiple routes available?

the lower metric value that is associated with the destination network

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.

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.​

What happens when the transport input ssh command is entered on the switch vty lines?

Communication between the switch and remote users is encrypted.

Which statement describes a feature of the IP protocol?

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

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

TTL

A network technician issues the arp -d * command on a PC after the router that is connected to the LAN is reconfigured. What is the result after this command is issued?

The ARP cache is cleared.

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.

Which term describes a field in the IPv4 packet header that contains a 32-bit binary value associated with an interface on the sending device?

source IPv4 address

What is the aim of an ARP spoofing attack?

to associate IP addresses to the wrong MAC address

Which term describes a field in the IPv4 packet header that contains a 4-bit binary value set to 0100?
