Refer to the exhibit. The exhibit shows simplified protocol data units from different OSI model layers. Which three statements are true about the PDUs and the encapsulation process? (Choose three.)
- A.
PDU #1 is a frame.
- B.
PDU #2 is an application layer PDU
- C.
PDU #3 is a segment.
- D.
PDU #4 is a transport layer PDU.
- E.
The order in which these PDUs are created during the encapsulation process is 3, 4, 1, 2.
Correct Answer(s)
A. PDU #1 is a frame.
C. PDU #3 is a segment.
E. The order in which these PDUs are created during the encapsulation process is 3, 4, 1, 2.Explanation
The given correct answer states that PDU #1 is a frame, PDU #3 is a segment, and the order in which these PDUs are created during the encapsulation process is 3, 4, 1, 2. This means that PDU #1 is created after PDU #3 and PDU #4, and PDU #2 is created last. This is consistent with the encapsulation process in the OSI model, where data is first segmented at the transport layer (PDU #3), then encapsulated into a packet at the network layer (PDU #4), followed by encapsulation into a frame at the data link layer (PDU #1). Finally, at the application layer, the data is encapsulated into a message (PDU #2).Rate this question:

Which three application layer protocols use TCP? (Choose three.)
- A.
SMTP
- B.
FTP
- C.
SNMP
- D.
HTTP
- E.
TFTP
Correct Answer(s)
A. SMTP
B. FTP
D. HTTPExplanation
SMTP, FTP, and HTTP are the three application layer protocols that use TCP. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for sending and receiving email messages. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files between a client and a server. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is used for communication between web browsers and web servers, allowing the retrieval and display of web pages. These protocols rely on TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) to establish a reliable and connection-oriented communication channel between the client and the server.Rate this question:

Which two application layer protocols use the UDP protocol? (Choose two.)
- A.
Telnet
- B.
SNMP
- C.
SMTP
- D.
SQL
- E.
TFTP
Correct Answer(s)
B. SNMP
E. TFTPExplanation
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) are the two application layer protocols that use the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) protocol. SNMP is used for managing and monitoring network devices, while TFTP is used for simple file transfers. Unlike TCP, UDP is a connectionless protocol that does not provide guaranteed delivery or error checking, making it suitable for applications that prioritize speed over reliability. Telnet, SMTP, and SQL, on the other hand, use TCP for their transport layer protocol.Rate this question:

- C.
Determination of best paths through the network
- D.
Definition of the procedures used to interface with the network hardware
- E.
Packet switching
Correct Answer(s)
C. Determination of best paths through the network
E. Packet switchingExplanation
The Internet layer of the TCP/IP model is responsible for determining the best paths through the network and implementing packet switching. Determining the best paths involves selecting the most efficient routes for data transmission, considering factors such as network congestion and latency. Packet switching involves breaking data into smaller packets and sending them individually across the network, allowing for more efficient and reliable transmission. These functions are crucial for ensuring that data is delivered effectively and efficiently across the internet.Rate this question:

2 broadcast domains
- C.
5 broadcast domains
- D.
9 collision domains
- E.
10 collision domains
Correct Answer(s)
A. 3 collision domains
B. 2 broadcast domainsExplanation
The collision domain defines the network segment where collisions can occur when two devices transmit data simultaneously. Each switch port represents a separate collision domain, totaling 9 across both switches. In contrast, the broadcast domain encompasses devices that receive broadcast traffic, with 2 domains in this scenario, corresponding to the VLANs on each switch.Rate this question:

Shortest-path first calculations
Correct Answer
E. Shortest-path first calculationsExplanation
Link-state routing protocols, such as OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System), are associated with shortest-path first calculations. These protocols use a link-state database to store information about the network topology, including the state of each link. By exchanging link-state information with neighboring routers, the protocols build a complete view of the network and calculate the shortest path to each destination. This allows for efficient routing decisions and optimal utilization of network resources.Rate this question:

What is one reason to use the ip ospf priority command when the OSPF routing protocol is in use?
- A.
To activate the OSPF neighboring process
- B.
To influence the DR/BDR election process
- C.
To provide a backdoor for connectivity during the convergence process
- D.
To streamline and speed up the convergence process
Correct Answer
B. To influence the DR/BDR election processExplanation
The reason to use the "ip ospf priority" command when the OSPF routing protocol is in use is to influence the DR/BDR (Designated Router/Backup Designated Router) election process. The DR and BDR are responsible for maintaining neighbor relationships and exchanging routing information within an OSPF network. By setting a higher priority value for a router, it increases its chances of becoming the DR or BDR, allowing it to have more control and influence over the routing process.Rate this question:

Keepalives are not being sent by the remote device.
Correct Answer(s)
D. The encapsulation on the Serial0 interface is incorrect.
E. Keepalives are not being sent by the remote device.Explanation
Two possible causes for the line protocol being in the down state are:
1. The encapsulation on the Serial0 interface is incorrect. This means that the protocol used for communication on the interface is not properly configured, causing the line protocol to be down.
2. Keepalives are not being sent by the remote device. Keepalives are messages sent by networking devices to ensure that the connection is still active. If the remote device is not sending keepalives, it can cause the line protocol to be down.Rate this question:

What are two features of a link-state routing protocol? (Choose two.)
- A.
Routers send periodic updates only to neighboring routers.
- B.
Routers send triggered updates in response to a change.
- C.
Routers create a topology of the network by using information from other routers.
- D.
The database information for each router is obtained from the same source.
- E.
Paths are chosen based on the lowest number of hops to the designated router.
Correct Answer(s)
B. Routers send triggered updates in response to a change.
C. Routers create a topology of the network by using information from other routers.Explanation
Link-state routing protocols have two main features:
1. Routers send triggered updates in response to a change: When a change occurs in the network, such as a link going down or a new link being added, routers using a link-state routing protocol will immediately send updates to inform neighboring routers about the change. This allows the network to quickly adapt to any modifications and maintain an up-to-date view of the network topology.
2. Routers create a topology of the network by using information from other routers: Link-state routing protocols exchange information with other routers to build a complete and accurate map of the network's topology. Each router collects information from its neighboring routers and uses this information to construct a database that represents the entire network. This database is then used to determine the best paths for forwarding packets.Rate this question:

- D.
Ip summary-address eigrp 1 192.168.10.64 0.0.0.63
- E.
Serial interface on router A
Correct Answer(s)
A. Ip summary-address eigrp 1 192.168.10.64 255.255.255.192
E. Serial interface on router AExplanation
The correct answer is "ip summary-address eigrp 1 192.168.10.64 255.255.255.192" and "serial interface on router A". This command is used to summarize the attached routes in EIGRP. By specifying the network address and subnet mask, it creates a summary route for a range of IP addresses. In this case, it summarizes the routes with a network address of 192.168.10.64 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192. The command is applied to the serial interface on router A, indicating that the summarized route will be advertised out of that interface.Rate this question:

- D.
S 192.168.168.0/24 [1/0] via 192.168.200.1
Correct Answer
D. S 192.168.168.0/24 [1/0] via 192.168.200.1Explanation
The answer "S 192.168.168.0/24 [1/0] via 192.168.200.1" will appear in the routing table for the network 192.168.168.0. This is because the "S" represents a static route, which takes precedence over dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF (O), RIP (R), and EIGRP (D).
