Which subnet would include the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address? 192.168.1.64/26 192.168.1.32/27 192.168.1.32/28 192.168.1.64/29
192.168.1.64/26 Explanation: For the subnet of 192.168.1.64/26, there are 6 bits for host addresses, yielding 64 possible addresses. However, the first and last subnets are the network and broadcast addresses for this subnet. Therefore, the range of host addresses for this subnet is 192.168.1.65 to 192.168.1.126. The other subnets do not contain the address 192.168.1.96 as a valid host address.
What would be the interface ID of an IPv6 enabled interface with a MAC address of 1C-6F-65-C2-BD-F8 when the interface ID is generated by using the EUI-64 process? 0C6F:65FF:FEC2:BDF8 1E6F:65FF:FEC2:BDF8 C16F:65FF:FEC2:BDF8 106F:65FF:FEC2:BDF8
1E6F:65FF:FEC2:BDF8 Explanation: To derive the EUI-64 interface ID by using the MAC address 1C-6F-65-C2-BD-F8, three steps are taken. Change the seventh bit of the MAC address from a binary 0 to a binary 1 which changes the hex C, into a hex E. Insert hex digits FFFE into the middle of the address. Rewrite the address in IPv6 format. The three steps, when complete, give the interface ID of 1E6F:65FF:FEC2:BDF8.
What is the subnet ID associated with the IPv6 address 2001:DA48:FC5:A4:3D1B::1/64? 2001:DA48::/64 2001:DA48:FC5::A4:/64 2001:DA48:FC5:A4::/64 2001::/64

Refer to the exhibit. Match the network with the correct IP address and prefix that will satisfy the usable host addressing requirements for each network. (Not all options are used.)
Answer displayed on image Explanation: Network A needs to use 192.168.0.0 /25 which yields 128 host addresses. Network B needs to use 192.168.0.128 /26 which yields 64 host addresses. Network C needs to use 192.168.0.192 /27 which yields 32 host addresses. Network D needs to use 192.168.0.224 /30 which yields 4 host addresses.
Match the characteristic to the forwarding method. (Not all options are used.)
Answer displayed on image Explanation: A store-and-forward switch always stores the entire frame before forwarding, and checks its CRC and frame length. A cut-through switch can forward frames before receiving the destination address field, thus presenting less latency than a store-and-forward switch. Because the frame can begin to be forwarded before it is completely received, the switch may transmit a corrupt or runt frame. All forwarding methods require a Layer 2 switch to forward broadcast frames.

Which two statements describe how to assess traffic flow patterns and network traffic types using a protocol analyzer? (Choose two.) Capture traffic on the weekends when most employees are off work. Capture traffic during peak utilization times to get a good representation of the different traffic types. Only capture traffic in the areas of the network that receive most of the traffic such as the data center. Perform the capture on different network segments. Only capture WAN traffic because traffic to the web is responsible for the largest amount of traffic on a network.
Capture traffic during peak utilization times to get a good representation of the different traffic types. Perform the capture on different network segments. Explanation: Traffic flow patterns should be gathered during peak utilization times to get a good representation of the different traffic types. The capture should also be performed on different network segments because some traffic will be local to a particular segment.
What happens when the transport input ssh command is entered on the switch vty lines? The SSH client on the switch is enabled. The switch requires a username/password combination for remote access. Communication between the switch and remote users is encrypted. The switch requires remote connections via a proprietary client software.

What are two characteristics of IP? (Choose two.) does not require a dedicated end-to-end connection operates independently of the network media retransmits packets if errors occur re-assembles out of order packets into the correct order at the receiver end guarantees delivery of packets
Does not require a dedicated end-to-end connection Operates independently of the network media Explain: The Internet Protocol (IP) is a connectionless, best effort protocol. This means that IP requires no end-to-end connection nor does it guarantee delivery of packets. IP is also media independent, which means it operates independently of the network media carrying the packets.
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? Enter CTRL-Z at the privileged mode prompt. Exit global configuration mode. Power cycle the device. Reboot the device. Exit privileged EXEC mode and press Enter.
Exit privileged EXEC mode and press Enter.
Which range of link-local addresses can be assigned to an IPv6-enabled interface? FEC0::/10 FDEE::/7 FE80::/10 FF00::/8
FE80::/10 Explain: Link-local addresses are in the range of FE80::/10 to FEBF::/10. The original IPv6 specification defined site-local addresses and used the prefix range FEC0::/10, but these addresses were deprecated by the IETF in favor of unique local addresses. FDEE::/7 is a unique local address because it is in the range of FC00::/7 to FDFF::/7. IPv6 multicast addresses have the prefix FF00::/8.
A client packet is received by a server. The packet has a destination port number of 80. What service is the client requesting? DHCP SMTP DNS HTTP

What is an advantage for small organizations of adopting IMAP instead of POP? POP only allows the client to store messages in a centralized way, while IMAP allows distributed storage. Messages are kept in the mail servers until they are manually deleted from the email client. When the user connects to a POP server, copies of the messages are kept in the mail server for a short time, but IMAP keeps them for a long time. IMAP sends and retrieves email, but POP only retrieves email.
Messages are kept in the mail servers until they are manually deleted from the email client. Explanation: IMAP and POP are protocols that are used to retrieve email messages. The advantage of using IMAP instead of POP is that when the user connects to an IMAP-capable server, copies of the messages are downloaded to the client application. IMAP then stores the email messages on the server until the user manually deletes those messages.
Which two statements accurately describe an advantage or a disadvantage when deploying NAT for IPv4 in a network? (Choose two.) NAT adds authentication capability to IPv4. NAT introduces problems for some applications that require end-to-end connectivity. NAT will impact negatively on switch performance. NAT provides a solution to slow down the IPv4 address depletion. NAT improves packet handling. NAT causes routing tables to include more information.
NAT introduces problems for some applications that require end-to-end connectivity. NAT provides a solution to slow down the IPv4 address depletion. Explanation: Network Address Translation (NAT) is a technology that is implemented within IPv4 networks. One application of NAT is to use private IP addresses inside a network and use NAT to share a few public IP addresses for many internal hosts. In this way it provides a solution to slow down the IPv4 address depletion. However, since NAT hides the actual IP addresses that are used by end devices, it may cause problems for some applications that require end-to-end connectivity.
What are two ICMPv6 messages that are not present in ICMP for IPv4? (Choose two.) Neighbor Solicitation Destination Unreachable Host Confirmation Time Exceeded Router Advertisement Route Redirection
Neighbor Solicitation Router Advertisement
Refer to the exhibit. PC1 issues an ARP request because it needs to send a packet to PC2. In this scenario, what will happen next? SW1 will send an ARP reply with the SW1 Fa0/1 MAC address. SW1 will send an ARP reply with the PC2 MAC address. PC2 will send an ARP reply with the PC2 MAC address. RT1 will send an ARP reply with the RT1 Fa0/0 MAC address. RT1 will send an ARP reply with the PC2 MAC address.
PC2 will send an ARP reply with the PC2 MAC address. Explain: When a network device wants to communicate with another device on the same network, it sends a broadcast ARP request. In this case, the request will contain the IP address of PC2. The destination device (PC2) sends an ARP reply with its MAC address.
A client packet is received by a server. The packet has a destination port number of 110. What service is the client requesting? DNS DHCP SMTP POP3
POP3
Match a statement to the related network model. (Not all options are used.)
Place the options in the following order: peer-to-peer network: no dedicated server is required client and server roles are set on a per request basis peer-to-peer application: requires a specific user interface a background service is required Explain: Peer-to-peer networks do not require the use of a dedicated server, and devices can assume both client and server roles simultaneously on a per request basis. Because they do not require formalized accounts or permissions, they are best used in limited situations. Peer-to-peer applications require a user interface and background service to be running, and can be used in more diverse situations.
What are proprietary protocols? Protocols developed by private organizations to operate on any vendor hardware Protocols that can be freely used by any organization or vendor Protocols developed by organizations who have control over their definition and operation A collection of protocols known as the TCP/IP protocol suite
Protocols developed by organizations who have control over their definition and operation Explain: Proprietary protocols have their definition and operation controlled by one company or vendor. Some of them can be used by different organizations with permission from the owner. The TCP/IP protocol suite is an open standard, not a proprietary protocol.
Refer to the exhibit. The IP address of which device interface should be used as the default gateway setting of host H1? R1: S0/0/0 R2: S0/0/1 R1: G0/0 R2: S0/0/0
R1: G0/0 Explanation: The default gateway for host H1 is the router interface that is attached to the LAN that H1 is a member of. In this case, that is the G0/0 interface of R1. H1 should be configured with the IP address of that interface in its addressing settings. R1 will provide routing services to packets from H1 that need to be forwarded to remote networks.
A network administrator notices that some newly installed Ethernet cabling is carrying corrupt and distorted data signals. The new cabling was installed in the ceiling close to fluorescent lights and electrical equipment. Which two factors may interfere with the copper cabling and result in signal distortion and data corruption? (Choose two.) crosstalk extended length of cabling RFI EMI signal attenuation

A client packet is received by a server. The packet has a destination port number of 69. What service is the client requesting? DNS DHCP SMTP TFTP
TFTP
What are two problems that can be caused by a large number of ARP request and reply messages? (Choose two.) Switches become overloaded because they concentrate all the traffic from the attached subnets. The ARP request is sent as a broadcast, and will flood the entire subnet. The network may become overloaded because ARP reply messages have a very large payload due to the 48-bit MAC address and 32-bit IP address that they contain. A large number of ARP request and reply messages may slow down the switching process, leading the switch to make many changes in its MAC table. All ARP request messages must be processed by all nodes on the local network.
The ARP request is sent as a broadcast, and will flood the entire subnet. All ARP request messages must be processed by all nodes on the local network. Explanation: ARP requests are sent as broadcasts: (1) All nodes will receive them, and they will be processed by software, interrupting the CPU. (2) The switch forwards (floods) Layer 2 broadcasts to all ports. A switch does not change its MAC table based on ARP request or reply messages. The switch populates the MAC table using the source MAC address of all frames. The ARP payload is very small and does not overload the switch.
What is the consequence of configuring a router with the ipv6 unicast-routing global configuration command? All router interfaces will be automatically activated. The IPv6 enabled router interfaces begin sending ICMPv6 Router Advertisement messages. Each router interface will generate an IPv6 link-local address. It statically creates a global unicast address on this router.
The IPv6 enabled router interfaces begin sending ICMPv6 Router Advertisement messages.
Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is trying to configure the switch but receives the error message that is displayed in the exhibit. What is the problem? The entire command, configure terminal, must be used. The administrator is already in global configuration mode. The administrator must first enter privileged EXEC mode before issuing the command. The administrator must connect via the console port to access global configuration mode.
The administrator must first enter privileged EXEC mode before issuing the command.
A technician with a PC is using multiple applications while connected to the Internet. How is the PC able to keep track of the data flow between multiple application sessions and have each application receive the correct packet flows? The data flow is being tracked based on the destination MAC address of the technician PC. The data flow is being tracked based on the source port number that is used by each application. The data flow is being tracked based on the source IP address that is used by the PC of the technician. The data flow is being tracked based on the destination IP address that is used by the PC of the technician.
The data flow is being tracked based on the source port number that is used by each application. Explanation: The source port number of an application is randomly generated and used to individually keep track of each session connecting out to the Internet. Each application will use a unique source port number to provide simultaneous communication from multiple applications through the Internet.
What will happen if the default gateway address is incorrectly configured on a host? The host cannot communicate with other hosts in the local network. The host cannot communicate with hosts in other networks. A ping from the host to 127.0.0.1 would not be successful. The host will have to use ARP to determine the correct address of the default gateway. The switch will not forward packets initiated by the host.
The host cannot communicate with hosts in other networks.
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 communicate with other hosts on the 172.16.100.0 network. The switch can be remotely managed from a host on another network. The switch is limited to sending and receiving frames to and from the gateway 172.16.100.1. The switch will have a management interface with the address 172.16.100.1.
The switch can be remotely managed from a host on another network. Explanation: A default gateway address is typically configured on all devices to allow them to communicate beyond just their local network.In a switch this is achieved using the command ip default-gateway <ip address>.
Refer to the exhibit. What three facts can be determined from the viewable output of the show ip interface brief command? (Choose three.) Two physical interfaces have been configured. The switch can be remotely managed. One device is attached to a physical interface. Passwords have been configured on the switch. Two devices are attached to the switch. The default SVI has been configured.
The switch can be remotely managed. One device is attached to a physical interface. The default SVI has been configured. Explain: Vlan1 is the default SVI. Because an SVI has been configured, the switch can be configured and managed remotely. FastEthernet0/0 is showing up and up, so a device is connected.
Refer to the exhibit. On the basis of the output, which two statements about network connectivity are correct? (Choose two.) This host does not have a default gateway configured. There are 4 hops between this device and the device at 192.168.100.1. There is connectivity between this device and the device at 192.168.100.1. The connectivity between these two hosts allows for videoconferencing calls. The average transmission time between the two hosts is 2 milliseconds.
There are 4 hops between this device and the device at 192.168.100.1. There is connectivity between this device and the device at 192.168.100.1. Explain: The output displays a successful Layer 3 connection between a host computer and a host at 19.168.100.1. It can be determined that 4 hops exist between them and the average transmission time is 1 milliseconds. Layer 3 connectivity does not necessarily mean that an application can run between the hosts.

A technician can ping the IP address of the web server of a remote company but cannot successfully ping the URL address of the same web server. Which software utility can the technician use to diagnose the problem? tracert ipconfig netstat nslookup
nslookup Explain: Traceroute (tracert) is a utility that generates a list of hops that were successfully reached along the path from source to destination. This list can provide important verification and troubleshooting information. The ipconfig utility is used to display the IP configuration settings on a Windows PC. The Netstat utility is used to identify which active TCP connections are open and running on a networked host. Nslookup is a utility that allows the user to manually query the name servers to resolve a given host name. This utility can also be used to troubleshoot name resolution issues and to verify the current status of the name servers.

Refer to the exhibit. If PC1 is sending a packet to PC2 and routing has been configured between the two routers, what will R1 do with the Ethernet frame header attached by PC1? nothing, because the router has a route to the destination network open the header and use it to determine whether the data is to be sent out S0/0/0 open the header and replace the destination MAC address with a new one remove the Ethernet header and configure a new Layer 2 header before sending it out S0/0/0
remove the Ethernet header and configure a new Layer 2 header before sending it out S0/0/0 Explanation: When PC1 forms the various headers attached to the data one of those headers is the Layer 2 header. Because PC1 connects to an Ethernet network, an Ethernet header is used. The source MAC address will be the MAC address of PC1 and the destination MAC address will be that of G0/0 on R1. When R1 gets that information, the router removes the Layer 2 header and creates a new one for the type of network the data will be placed onto (the serial link).

What are the three parts of an IPv6 global unicast address? (Choose three.) subnet ID subnet mask broadcast address global routing prefix interface ID
subnet ID global routing prefix interface ID Explanation: The general format for IPv6 global unicast addresses includes a global routing prefix, a subnet ID, and an interface ID. The global routing prefix is the network portion of the address. A typical global routing prefix is /48 assigned by the Internet provider. The subnet ID portion can be used by an organization to create multiple subnetwork numbers. The interface ID is similar to the host portion of an IPv4 address.
During the process of forwarding traffic, what will the router do immediately after matching the destination IP address to a network on a directly connected routing table entry? analyze the destination IP address switch the packet to the directly connected interface look up the next-hop address for the packet discard the traffic after consulting the route table
switch the packet to the directly connected interface Explanation: A router receives a packet on an interface and looks at the destination IP address. It consults its routing table and matches the destination IP address to a routing table entry. The router then discovers that it has to send the packet to the next-hop address or out to a directly connected interface. When the destination address is on a directly connected interface, the packet is switched over to that interface.
What is the purpose of the TCP sliding window? to ensure that segments arrive in order at the destination to end communication when data transmission is complete to inform a source to retransmit data from a specific point forward to request that a source decrease the rate at which it transmits data
to request that a source decrease the rate at which it transmits data. Explanation: The TCP sliding window allows a destination device to inform a source to slow down the rate of transmission. To do this, the destination device reduces the value contained in the window field of the segment. It is acknowledgment numbers that are used to specify retransmission from a specific point forward. It is sequence numbers that are used to ensure segments arrive in order. Finally, it is a FIN control bit that is used to end a communication session.
What two security solutions are most likely to be used only in a corporate environment? (Choose two.) antispyware virtual private networks intrusion prevention systems strong passwords antivirus software
virtual private networks intrusion prevention systems
What are two features of ARP? (Choose two.) When a host is encapsulating a packet into a frame, it refers to the MAC address table to determine the mapping of IP addresses to MAC addresses. An ARP request is sent to all devices on the Ethernet LAN and contains the IP address of the destination host and its multicast MAC address. If a host is ready to send a packet to a local destination device and it has the IP address but not the MAC address of the destination, it generates an ARP broadcast. If no device responds to the ARP request, then the originating node will broadcast the data packet to all devices on the network segment. If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it responds with an ARP reply.
If a host is ready to send a packet to a local destination device and it has the IP address but not the MAC address of the destination, it generates an ARP broadcast. If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it responds with an ARP reply.
Which layer of the TCP/IP model provides a route to forward messages through an internetwork? application network access internet transport
Internet Explain: The OSI model network layer corresponds directly to the internet layer of the TCP/IP model and is used to describe protocols that address and route messages through an internetwork.
What mechanism is used by a router to prevent a received IPv4 packet from traveling endlessly on a network? It checks the value of the TTL field and if it is 0, it discards the packet and sends a Destination Unreachable message to the source host. It checks the value of the TTL field and if it is 100, it discards the packet and sends a Destination Unreachable message to the source host. It decrements the value of the TTL field by 1 and if the result is 0, it discards the packet and sends a Time Exceeded message to the source host. It increments the value of the TTL field by 1 and if the result is 100, it discards the packet and sends a Parameter Problem message to the source host.
It decrements the value of the TTL field by 1 and if the result is 0, it discards the packet and sends a Time Exceeded message to the source host.
A host is trying to send a packet to a device on a remote LAN segment, but there are currently no mappings in its ARP cache. How will the device obtain a destination MAC address? It will send the frame and use its own MAC address as the destination. It will send an ARP request for the MAC address of the destination device. It will send the frame with a broadcast MAC address. It will send a request to the DNS server for the destination MAC address. It will send an ARP request for the MAC address of the default gateway.
It will send an ARP request for the MAC address of the default gateway.
