It checks the source MAC address in the Ethernet header against the sender MAC address in the ARP body

A network administrator is configuring a RADIUS server connection on a Cisco 3500 series WLC. The configuration requires a shared secret password. What is the purpose for the shared secret password?

It is used to encrypt the messages between the WLC and the RADIUS server.

Which statement describes the behavior of a switch when the MAC address table is full?

It treats frames as unknown unicast and floods all incoming frames to all ports within the local VLAN.

A network administrator is working to improve WLAN performance on a dual-band wireless router. What is a simple way to achieve a split-the-traffic result?

Make sure that different SSIDs are used for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

A network administrator deploys a wireless router in a small law firm. Employee laptops join the WLAN and receive IP addresses in the 10.0.10.0/24 network. Which service is used on the wireless router to allow the employee laptops to access the internet?

Which protocol should be used to mitigate the vulnerability of using Telnet to remotely manage network devices?

SSH

A company has recently implemented an 802.11n wireless network. Some users are complaining that the wireless network is too slow. Which solution is the best method to enhance the performance of the wireless network?

Split the traffic between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.

A technician is troubleshooting a slow WLAN that consists of 802.11b and 802.11g devices . A new 802.11n/ac dual-band router has been deployed on the network to replace the old 802.11g router. What can the technician do to address the slow wireless speed?

Split the wireless traffic between the 802.11n 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band.

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.

Refer to the exhibit. What can be determined about port security from the information that is shown?

The port violation mode is the default for any port that has port security enabled.

Which type of VLAN-hopping attack may be prevented by designating an unused VLAN as the native VLAN?
