Regarding assigning IP addresses, the bits that define the __________ of an IP address should not be all 0 bits.
- A.
Octet
- B.
Host Portion
- C.
Network Portion
- D.
Segment
- E.
Routing
Correct Answer
C. Network PortionExplanation
The bits that define the network portion of an IP address should not be all 0 bits. This is because having all 0 bits in the network portion would indicate that the IP address is referring to the default network or the network address itself. In IP addressing, the network portion is used to identify the network to which a device belongs, while the host portion identifies the specific device within that network. Therefore, having all 0 bits in the network portion would result in an invalid IP address.Rate this question:

___________ supplies network devices reusable IP addresses, and configuration information.
- A.
OSI
- B.
HLEN
- C.
Code 12
- D.
DHCP
- E.
Code 15
Correct Answer
D. DHCPExplanation
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the correct answer because it is a network protocol that supplies network devices with reusable IP addresses and configuration information. DHCP allows devices to automatically obtain an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and other network settings from a DHCP server. This eliminates the need for manual IP address configuration and makes it easier to manage and allocate IP addresses within a network.Rate this question:

What is the correct destination UDP port number for a DHCPDISCOVER message?
- A.
68
- B.
70
- C.
69
- D.
67
- E.
80
Correct Answer
D. 67Explanation
The correct destination UDP port number for a DHCPDISCOVER message is 67. DHCPDISCOVER is a DHCP message used by a client to discover DHCP servers available on the network. The client sends this message to the destination IP address 255.255.255.255, which is the broadcast address, and the destination UDP port number 67. The DHCP server listens on port 67 for DHCPDISCOVER messages and responds with a DHCPOFFER message.Rate this question:

NAT IP address translation assigns external addresses to internal devices in which way?
- A.
It sends internal address requests to a DHCP server.
- B.
It assigns the internal address to one of a pool of external addresses.
- C.
It assigns all internal devices the same external IP address.
- D.
It converts the internal IP address to a private IP
- E.
It assigns the internal address to a DNS server.
Correct Answer
B. It assigns the internal address to one of a pool of external addresses.Explanation
NAT IP address translation assigns external addresses to internal devices by assigning the internal address to one of a pool of external addresses. This means that multiple internal devices can share the same external IP address, allowing for more efficient use of limited IP addresses.Rate this question:

What happens when a dynamic NAT device runs out of addresses to assign?
- A.
The NAT device drops the oldest connection.
- B.
The NAT device shares addresses between internal devices.
- C.
The NAT device multiplexes between internal devices.
- D.
The NAT devices use backup static map entries.
- E.
The NAT device refuses new connections.
Correct Answer
E. The NAT device refuses new connections.Explanation
When a dynamic NAT device runs out of addresses to assign, it refuses new connections. This means that any new devices or connections attempting to use the NAT device will be denied access. This is because the NAT device has exhausted its pool of available addresses to assign to internal devices.Rate this question:

Which statement best describes NAT masquerading?
- A.
It hides all internal addresses behind one external address.
- B.
It hides all internal addresses behind one internal address.
- C.
It statically assigns all internal addresses to a single external address.
- D.
It hides all internal addresses behind a single port number.
- E.
It assigns all internal addresses to multiple ports.
Correct Answer
A. It hides all internal addresses behind one external address.Explanation
NAT masquerading refers to a technique where multiple internal IP addresses are hidden behind a single external IP address. This allows multiple devices within a private network to access the internet using a single public IP address. The internal devices communicate with the external network through the NAT router, which modifies the source IP address of outgoing packets to match the external IP address. This way, all internal addresses are masked behind one external address, providing security and conserving IP addresses.Rate this question:
