The cost of upgrading infrastructure has been a major factor in the slow adoption of IPv6. True False
True
The pathping utility sends 10 pings per hop by default. False True
False
When using the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), what is the maximum number of hops a message can take between its source and its destination before the destination is considered unreachable? 8 15 20 32
15
By default, what is the MTU size on a typical Ethernet network? 1500 bytes 1492 bytes 1522 bytes 1518 bytes
1500 bytes
If the VLAN tag is present in an Ethernet frame, what is the maximum frame size? 1500 bytes 1518 bytes 1492 bytes 1522 bytes
1522 bytes
Originally codified by ISO, what does the "intermediate system" in IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) stand for? An entire network consisting of various network devices. The administrative boundaries of an organization. An IS-IS capable network router. The autonomous systems used by an organization.
An IS-IS capable network router.
What statement regarding the differences between the Windows tracert utility and the Linux/UNIX/macOS traceroute utility is accurate? Only tracert can send UDP messages for tracing a path. The tracert utility expects an ICMP port unreachable error message as the final reply to a trace. The Windows tracert utility does not place limits on the TTL of repeated trial messages. By default, the tracert utility uses ICMP echo requests, while traceroute uses UDP datagrams or TCP SYN messages.
By default, the tracert utility uses ICMP echo requests, while traceroute uses UDP datagrams or TCP SYN messages.
What occurs when a collision happens on a network? Each node on the network stops transmitting, until manually told to reconnect and transmit. Each node on the network waits a random amount of time and then resends the transmission. The collision will create an error in the network switch, but otherwise, no issues will occur as a result. The collision goes undetected, and data transmission continues.
Each node on the network waits a random amount of time and then resends the transmission.
IPv4 and IPv6 use the same packet format. False True
False
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an interior gateway protocol that uses a link-state algorithm. False True
False
TCP uses a four-step process called a four-way handshake to establish a TCP connection. True False
False
What is the purpose of the checksum TCP field? It confirms receipt of data via a return message to the sender. It specifies special options, such as the maximum segment size a network can handle. It identifies the data segment's position in the stream of data segments being sent. It allows the receiving node to determine whether the TCP segment became corrupted during transmission.
It allows the receiving node to determine whether the TCP segment became corrupted during transmission.
What is routing protocol convergence time defined as? It is the amount of time it takes after initial configuration of the protocol for all routes to become known. It is the amount of time involved in configuration of the routing protocol. It is the time it takes for the protocol to recognize the best path in the event of a network change. It is the time it takes for the protocol to recognize that a change has occurred.
It is the time it takes for the protocol to recognize the best path in the event of a network change.
Which statement does NOT accurately describe characteristics of the OSPF protocol? OSPF provides low network overhead. OSPF has no hop limits on a transmission path. OSPF requires very little CPU or memory resources. OSPF maintains a database of other routers' links.

In general, a Layer 3 or Layer 4 switch is still optimized for fast Layer 2 data handling. False True

You have been tasked with maintaining a network that is jumbo frame enabled. What does this mean? Fragmented frames will be consolidated into whole frames before being sent. The network is not based on the Ethernet standard. The MTU for the network can be as high as 9198 bytes. The MTU for the network is set at 65,535 bytes.
The MTU for the network can be as high as 9198 bytes.
In the event of a duplicate MAC address shared by two hosts on a switched network, what statement is accurate? The network switch will eventually crash due to being unable to properly forward traffic. The hosts that share the same MAC addresses will be completely unable to communicate with any other devices. The hosts will generate new MAC addresses until the conflict is resolved. The hosts will still send and receive traffic, but traffic may not always reach the correct destination.
The hosts will still send and receive traffic, but traffic may not always reach the correct destination.
What happens when a router receives a packet with a TTL of 0? The router attempts to forward the traffic on a local network. The router drops the packet and sends an ICMP TTL expired message back to the host. The router resets the TTL to 128. The router marks the packet as corrupted and forwards it to the next hop.
The router drops the packet and sends an ICMP TTL expired message back to the host.
