Consider the 850 nm multimode fiber optic cable shown below. How much loss can you expect between the transmitter and the receiver? ----------------------- Connectors ----------------------- Transmiter <------ 200 meters ------> Receiver

-1.2 dB When calculating a loss budget for a segment of fiber optic cable, use the following guidelines: • Connectors = 0.3 dB loss each • Splices = 0.3 dB loss each • Multimode cabling = 3 dB loss per 1000 meters (850 nm) or 1 dB loss per 1000 meters (1300 nm) • Single mode cabling = 0.5 dB loss per 1000 meters (1310 nm) or 0.4 dB loss per 1000 meters (1550 nm) In this scenario, there are two connectors (0.3 dB loss each) and 200 meters of 850 nm multimode cable (.2 * 3 dB) for a total expected loss of 1.2 dB. Note that dirty or poorly polished connectors can dramatically increase the amount of loss in the cable.

You are building a new network for a small startup financial services company. Security is paramount, so each organization within the company will have its own network segment separated by a router. However, funds are limited, and you have been asked to keep costs to a minimum. You have acquired a used fiber optic switch and want to use it to create a fiber optic backbone that interconnects all of the routers. You purchased several used multimode GBIC modules on eBay that you will install in each router to allow them to connect to the switch. Both the switch and the GBIC modules use MT-RJ connectors. You purchased several used 1 meter multimode patch cables from Amazon. However, when they arrived, you noticed that they use LC connectors. Fortunately, with some force, you found that you are able to get the LC connectors on the cables to lock into the MT-RJ connectors on the GBIC modules and on the switch. Will this implementation work?

No, you should purchase patch cables that use MT-RJ connectors.

You work for a large, multinational organization that has an extensive global network that is interconnected using WAN links and routers. Lately, users in one location have complained that they are unable to access resources stored on a server named FS23 in a South American branch office. To troubleshoot the issue, you have done the following: • Verified that the server is up and running. • Verified that the various routers in between the two locations are up and running. You suspect that perhaps one of the routers between the two locations may be dropping packets. To test this theory, you enter the ping FS23 -f -l 1500 command on your workstation. The ping command returns the following command for each ping packet sent: "Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set." What does this mean?

One of the intermediate routers is an MTU black hole. A black hole router will drop packets when the packet size exceeds the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size. You can use ping to locate a black hole router by setting the following parameters along with the IP address of the remote host: • -f causes the ping utility to send an ICMP echo packet that has the IP "do not fragment" bit set. • -l sets the buffer (or payload) size of the ICMP echo packet. Specify this size by typing a number after the -l parameter. The ping test will provide you with helpful information: • If the MTU of every segment of a routed connection is at least the MTU size, the ping is successful. • If there is an intermediate segment that has a smaller MTU size, the router returns an ICMP "destination unreachable" packet and the ping utility displays a Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set message.

Match each type of access point on the left with the wireless network architecture that they are commonly used in on the right. Each type of access point may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Independent access point infrastructure ==> Intelligent AP Hub-and-spoke infrastructure ==> Lightweight AP Distributed wireless mesh infrastructure ==> Intelligent AP Independent access points: In the early days of wireless networking, large organization implemented independent access points through their facility. Each AP stood alone, providing separate wireless networks using its own independent configuration. Hub-and-spoke infrastructure: In a hub-and-spoke configuration, a wireless controller is connected to all access points using wired links. The individual access points contain very little embedded intelligence and are sometimes referred to as lightweight access points (LWAPs). Distributed wireless mesh infrastructure: Newer wireless networks can be deployed using a distributed wireless mesh architecture. These networks still use a controller, but they move some of the network intelligence from the controller out to the individual access points. In this configuration, the controller is no longer a bottleneck. The APs are smart enough to communicate directly with each other to create more efficient data paths for network traffic.

You want to measure the voltage, amps, and ohms of various devices. Which tool should you use?

Multimeter

Which of the following best describes the condition where a signal sent on one wire is received on another wire within the same connector?

NEXT Near end crosstalk (NEXT) is crosstalk measured on the same end as the transmitter. For example, when a signal is sent on one wire, near end crosstalk measures the interference on another wire at the same connector near the source of the original signal. Far end crosstalk (FEXT) is crosstalk measured on the opposite end from the transmitter. For example, when a signal is sent on one wire, far end crosstalk measures the interference on another wire at the opposite end from the source signal.

Which of the following protocols is used during the call control process of multimedia communications?

Session Initiation Protocol

Mobile devices in your organization use the access points shown in the figure below to connect to your wireless network. Recently, a catastrophic early morning power surge occurred, followed by an outage that lasted longer than your backup equipment could supply temporary power. After you powered the equipment back on, everything initially appeared to work correctly. However, ever since this event, some mobile users report that wireless network connections sometimes get dropped or perform very poorly. What should you do? (Select two.)

Set the channel used by access point B to 8. Set access point B to use 802.11n wireless networking.

You use Cat5e twisted pair cable on your network. Cables are routed through walls and the ceiling. A user puts a screw in the wall to hang a picture and pierces the cable such that a signal sent on pin 1 arrives on the cable connected to pin 7. What term describes this condition?

Short circuit An electrical short occurs when electrical signals take a different path other than the intended path. In the case of twisted pair wiring, a short means that a signal sent on one wire might arrive on a different wire. Shorts are caused by worn wire jackets or crushed wires so that two wires touch, or by something metal piercing the wire and causing an alternate path. An open circuit is a cut in the wire that prevents the original signal from reaching the end of the wire. With a short, the signal travels a different path, but with an open circuit, the signal does not travel anywhere (electricity cannot flow because the path is disconnected).

Users report that the Internet is no longer accessible. You suspect that the line connecting your building to the Internet is not working properly. Which of the following allows the service provider to remotely test the local loop?

Smart jack A smart jack is a special loopback plug installed at the demarcation point for a WAN service. Technicians at the central office can send diagnostic commands to the smart plug to test connectivity between the central office and the demarc. A smart jack is similar to a loopback plug; however, the loopback plug must be manually inserted into a jack to test the line, while the smart jack is a special plug that includes loopback support and can be used for remote testing of the local loop. With a smart jack, technicians can diagnose the local loop without visiting your location.

One method of preventing routing loops is to not send information about a route back to the router from which the information came. What is this technique called?

Split horizon Split horizon is a technique used by distance vector routing protocols that prevents routing loops by making sure that a router cannot send network information backwards. If Router1 receives routing information from Router2, it cannot send that same information back to Router2.

Your organization recently opened a branch office. You contracted with a WAN service provider to connect the branch office network to your home office network. Recently, your CEO conducted a video conference with the employees at the branch office. The employees complained that the video was choppy and that the audio was frequently out of sync with the video. What is the most likely cause of this poor WAN performance?

The WAN provider is throttling bandwidth on the link. In this scenario, its possible that the WAN service provider is the cause of the problem. You should check the contract with the service provider to make sure they aren't throttling the bandwidth of the WAN link. It's not uncommon for service providers to impose bandwidth or utilization caps that could be hampering communications. Because connectivity exists between the home and branch office networks in this scenario, the following are very unlikely to be the cause of the problem: • A disabled WAN interface • A protocol mismatch • An authentication mismatch • An IP address misconfiguration

Consider the network shown in the exhibit. You have been experiencing intermittent connectivity issues with switch2. To check the status of the interfaces, you run the following commands: switch2# show interfaces fa0/1 status Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type Fa0/1 connected 3 a-half a-100 10/100BaseTX switch2# show interfaces Gi0/1 status Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type Gi0/1 connected trunk a-full a-1000 1000BaseTX switch2# show interfaces Gi0/2 status Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type Gi0/2 connected trunk a-full a-1000 1000BaseTX What is the issue with this network?

The device connected to the Fa0/1 interface has autonegotiation disabled. A duplex mismatch probably exists on the Fa0/1 interface. Note that duplexing has been automatically set to half, which is the default behavior for Cisco devices when autonegotiation fails. To fix the issue, check the Gi0/1 interface on router1 to see if autonegotiation has been disabled. You could manually configure the Fa0/1 interface on switch2 to use the same duplexing and link speed settings as the interface on the router, or you could re-enable autonegotiation on the router interface. The Gi0/1 and Gi0/2 interfaces on switch2 appear to be functioning correctly with full duplexing and full link speed having been automatically configured.

A workstation is connected to a switch on the Gi 0/2 interface using a straight-through cable. The Ethernet interface in the workstation has been manually configured to use a 100 Mbps link speed in full-duplex mode. Which of the following are true in this scenario? (Select three.)

The switch attempts to sense the link speed. If it can't, the slowest link speed supported on the interface is selected. If the link speed is 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half-duplex is used. If the link speed is 1000 Mbps or faster, full-duplex is used.

A user calls to report that she is experiencing intermittent problems while accessing the wireless network from her laptop computer. While talking to her, you discover that she is trying to work from the coffee room two floors above the floor where she normally works. What is the most likely cause of her connectivity problem?

Your organization recently opened a branch office. You contracted with a WAN service provider to connect the branch office network to your home office network. This morning, users at the branch office reported that they can no longer access resources on the home office network. You ran the show interfaces command on the router at the home office and had an administrative assistant run the same command on the router at the branch office. Both routers reported the following: • Interface status: Up • Protocol status: Down What is the most likely cause of this WAN issue?

There is a data link encapsulation protocol mismatch between the WAN interfaces on both ends of the link. If the WAN interface's line status is up and the protocol status is down, then you're most likely experiencing a Layer 2 issue. This could be caused by a mismatch in the data link encapsulation protocol used on the link. Common Layer 2 point-to-point WAN protocols include HDLC, PPP, and Frame Relay. The same Layer 2 protocol must be used on both ends of the link.

Your organization recently opened a branch office. You contracted with a WAN service provider to connect the branch office network to your home office network. This morning, users at the branch office reported that they can no longer access resources on the home office network. You ran the show interfaces command on the router at the home office and had an administrative assistant run the same command on the router at the branch office. Both routers reported the following: • Interface status: Down • Protocol status: Down What are the most likely causes of this WAN issue? (Select two.)

There is a problem with the service provider's network. The WAN interface on one or both routers has been disabled. Because both the line status and the protocol status of the WAN interface is down, you're most likely experiencing a Layer 1 issue. As such, you should start troubleshooting at Layer 1. In this scenario, it's possible that: • One or both WAN interfaces have been shut down (disabled). • There is an issue with the service provider's network. Because both interfaces have a status of down/down, the problem must lie at Layer 1. The following issues are Layer 2 or 3 issues: • A protocol mismatch • An authentication mismatch • An IP address misconfiguration Latency on the link would still allow communications to occur between the routers, but performance would be poor. If this were the case, the interface status of both link ends would be in an up/up state.

Your organization recently opened a branch office in a remote area. Because of its location, traditional WAN connectivity was not available, so you contracted with a satellite provider to connect the branch office network to your home office network. Recently, your CEO conducted a video conference with the employees at the branch office. The employees complained that the video was choppy and that the audio was frequently out of sync with the video. What is the most likely cause of this poor WAN performance?

There is latency on the WAN link. In this scenario, its very likely that the satellite link itself is the cause of the problem. Because the radio signals used by satellite links must travel thousands of miles into space and back, several milliseconds of latency are introduced. For some types of network communications, such as saving a file or sending an email, this latency is not a problem. However, for time-sensitive communications such as a video conference, the latency inherent in the satellite link can cause poor network performance.

You have a WAN link that connects two sites. The WAN link is supposed to provide 1.5 Mbps of bandwidth. You want to perform a test to see the actual bandwidth of the link. Which tool should you use?

ping The output shown was produced by the ping utility. Specifically, the information output was created using theping -t command. The -t switch causes packets to be sent to the remote host continuously until stopped manually. ping is a useful tool for testing connectivity between devices on a network. Using the -t switch with ping can be useful in determining whether the network is congested, as such a condition will cause sporadic failures in the ping stream. tracert is similar to ping in that it tests connectivity between two hosts on the network. The difference is that tracert reports information on all intermediate devices between the host system and the target system. ping, on the other hand, does not report information on intermediate devices.

Which of the following utilities would you use to view the routing table?

route Use the route command to display the contents of the routing table or to add or remove static routes. traceroute or tracert uses ICMP packets to test connectivity between devices, and shows the path between the two devices. Responses from each hop on the route are measured three times to provide an accurate representation of how long the packet takes to reach, and be returned by that host. The mtr command on Linux is a combination of the ping and traceroute commands.

While troubleshooting a problem on a Linux system, you run a utility that generates the following output: 5 s3232.gw.Seat.someisp.net (63.201.72.9) 38.433 ms 38.713 ms 39.085 ms 6 st11122.gar1.Seat.someisp.net (211.242.9.121) 38.620 ms 38.593 ms 38.050 ms 7 oc48-6yy.Seat.someisp.net (14.248.154.129) 57.440 ms 56.678 ms 57.675 ms 8 t223hgh-ytry.swa.someisp.net (142.133.89.232) 103.041 ms 57.181 ms 56.619 ms 9 t8343mmd.cgssel.someisp.net (162.191.10261) 91.977 ms 93.971 ms 93.767 ms 10 twirem2.cgssfdl.ip.someisp.net (145.97.133.23) 92.463 ms 92.337 ms 93.523 ms 11 twerrm1.nfffsiny.ip.someisp.net (117.116.141.38) 106.000 ms 106.007 ms 105.283 ms 12 gbed22repp0.n5ddsdsy.ip.someisp.net (123.194.132.8) 103.198 ms 105.447 ms 104.263 ms Which of the following utilities were you using?

traceroute The output from traceroute and tracert are very similar. However, tracert is a utility used on Windows systems, not on Linux systems. As the question stated that you were working on a Linux system, the output would therefore be from traceroute. Use the dig command on Unix to troubleshoot DNS issues. Use ping to test connectivity between systems on a network.

While working on a Linux server, you are unable to connect to Windows Server 2003 system across the Internet. You are able to ping the default gateway on your own network, so you suspect that the problem lies outside of the local network. Which utility would you use to track the route a packet takes as it crosses the network?

traceroute traceroute is a Linux utility that allows you to track the route of a packet as it traverses the network. The traceroute utility is used on Linux systems, while tracert is used on Windows systems.

Which TCP/IP utility gives you the following output? 2 14 ms <10 ms 14 ms Loopback0.GW1.ALTER.NET [137.39.2.123] 3 14 ms <10 ms 13 ms 122.at.-6-0.SLT4.ALTER.NET [152.63.91.86] 4 <10 ms 14 ms 10 ms 0.so.-0-1-0.ALTER.NET [152.63.1.210]

tracert The exhibit shows a few lines from the tracert command, which shows you each host a packet must pass through to reach its destination.

tracert The output is from a tracert command run on a Windows Server 2003 system. The tracert command provides information on each step in the route a packet takes to reach a remote host. Responses from each hop on the route are measured three times to provide an accurate representation of how long the packet takes to reach, and be returned by that host. This information can be useful in locating congestion points on a network, or when verifying that network routing is operating as expected.

You are the network administrator of a branch office of your company. The branch office network is part of a WAN that covers most of the United States. The office has two Windows 2000 servers, two UNIX servers, one Windows NT server, 90 Windows 98 clients, 40 Windows 2000 Professional clients, and five Macintosh clients. Users have been complaining that they are unable to access resources over the WAN at the main headquarters. You suspect that one of the routers between your office and the main headquarters is not working properly. What TCP/IP utility can you use to see if a router is not working properly?

tracert tracert shows you the series of routers that are used between the source and destination computers. If a router is not functioning, tracert can help you find which router is not working by showing you the last router it was successfully able to contact.
