Which wireless solution would improve the performance for the laptops?

Add another access point.

What are two requirements to be able to configure an EtherChannel between two switches? (Choose two.)

All the interfaces need to be working in the same duplex mode. All the interfaces need to work at the same speed.

A network administrator enters the spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default command. What is the result of this command being issued on a Cisco switch?

Any switch port that has been configured with PortFast will be error-disabled if it receives a BPDU.

The __________ area interconnects with all other OSPF area types.

Backbone

What two conditions have to be met in order to form a cluster that includes 5 access points? (Choose two.)

Clustering mode must be enabled on the APs. The APs have to be connected on the same network segment.

A network engineer is troubleshooting a single-area OSPFv3 implementation across routers R1, R2, and R3. During the verification of the implementation, it is noted that the routing tables on R1 and R2 do not include the entry for a remote LAN on R3. Examination of R3 shows the following: 1.that all interfaces have correct addressing 2.that the routing process has been globally configured 3.that correct router adjacencies have formed What additional action taken on R3 could solve the problem?

Enable the OSPFv3 routing process on the interface connected to the remote LAN.

A network engineer is configuring a LAN with a redundant first hop to make better use of the available network resources. Which protocol should the engineer implement?

GLBP

What is the purpose of the Cisco PAK?

It is a key for enabling an IOS feature set.

Which technology is an open protocol standard that allows switches to automatically bundle physical ports into a single logical link?

LACP

What is a wireless modulation technique used by 802.11 WLAN standards that can implement MIMO?

OFDM

When are EIGRP update packets sent?

Only when necessary

What are two features of OSPF interarea route summarization? (Choose two.)

Routes within an area are summarized by the ABR. ABRs advertise the summarized routes into the backbone.

Which mode configuration setting would allow formation of an EtherChannel link between switches SW1 and SW2 without sending negotiation traffic?

SW1: on SW2: on

A network engineer is troubleshooting a newly deployed wireless network that is using the latest 802.11 standards. When users access high bandwidth services such as streaming video, the wireless network performance is poor. To improve performance the network engineer decides to configure a 5 Ghz frequency band SSID and train users to use that SSID for streaming media services. Why might this solution improve the wireless network performance for that type of service?

The 5 GHz band has more channels and is less crowded than the 2.4 GHz band, which makes it more suited to streaming multimedia.

A network administrator has configured an EtherChannel between two switches that are connected via four trunk links. If the physical interface for one of the trunk links changes to a down state, what happens to the EtherChannel?

The EtherChannel will remain functional.

A network administrator issues the command R1(config)# license boot module c1900 technology-package securityk9 on a router. What is the effect of this command?

The Evaluation Right-To-Use license for the Security technology package is activated.

What is a difference between the Cisco IOS 12 and IOS 15 versions?

The IOS version 15 license key is unique to each device, whereas the IOS version 12 license key is not device specific.

A network designer is considering whether to implement a switch block on the company network. What is the primary advantage of deploying a switch block?

The failure of a switch block will not impact all end users.

Which two statements are correct about EIGRP acknowledgment packets? (Choose two.)

The packets are sent as unicast. The packets are unreliable.

A network administrator is troubleshooting slow performance in a Layer 2 switched network. Upon examining the IP header, the administrator notices that the TTL value is not decreasing. Why is the TTL value not decreasing?

This is the normal behavior for a Layer 2 network.

EIGRP keeps feasible successor routes in the _________ table.

Topology

What method of wireless authentication is dependent on a RADIUS authentication server?

WPA2 Enterprise

A network administrator in a branch office is configuring EIGRP authentication between the branch office router and the headquarters office router. Which security credential is needed for the authentication process?

a common key configured with the key-string command inside a key chain

What are two requirements when using out-of-band configuration of a Cisco IOS network device? (Choose two.)

a direct connection to the console or AUX port a terminal emulation client
