- B.
UDP provides connection-oriented, fast transport of data at Layer 3.
- C.
UDP relies on application layer protocols for error detection.
- D.
UDP works well when an application does not need to guarantee delivery of data.
- E.
UDP relies on IP for error detection and recovery.
Correct Answer(s)
A. UDP provides connectionless, fast transport of data at Layer 4.
C. UDP relies on application layer protocols for error detection.
D. UDP works well when an application does not need to guarantee delivery of data.Explanation
UDP is a protocol that operates at Layer 4 of the OSI model. It provides a connectionless and fast transport of data, meaning that it does not establish a formal connection before transmitting data and does not guarantee delivery of data. UDP relies on application layer protocols for error detection, as it does not have built-in error checking mechanisms. Therefore, it works well for applications that do not require reliable delivery of data, such as streaming media or real-time communication.Rate this question:

Which device connects a local LAN to a geographically separate network?
- A.
Switch
- B.
Hub
- C.
Router
- D.
Bridge
Correct Answer
C. RouterExplanation
A router is a device that connects a local LAN (Local Area Network) to a geographically separate network. It is responsible for directing network traffic between different networks, such as connecting a home network to the internet. Routers use routing tables to determine the best path for data packets to travel from one network to another. Unlike switches and hubs, which are used to connect devices within a local network, routers are specifically designed to connect different networks together. A bridge is used to connect two local networks, while a switch is used to connect multiple devices within a local network.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. Router1 receives packets addressed as follows: Source IP address: 192.168.1.88Destination IP address: 172.16.0.3Source MAC address: 00-11-12-7a-41-10Destination MAC address: 00-11-5c-cc-a9-c0Source Port: 1464Destination Port: 23 Assuming that Router1 has not been configured with NAT, what will happen to the packets?
- A.
The packets will be sent to the server because it is a server-based port.
- B.
The packets will be sent to Switch2 and not leave the switch because the packets are local.
- C.
The packets will be sent to the laptop host.
- D.
The packets will be sent to Router1 and dropped because private addresses are not transmitted across the Internet.
- E.
The packets will be sent to Router2 and dropped because the server is not directly attached.
Correct Answer
D. The packets will be sent to Router1 and dropped because private addresses are not transmitted across the Internet.Explanation
The packets will be sent to Router1 and dropped because private addresses are not transmitted across the Internet. Private IP addresses, such as 192.168.1.88, are used for internal networks and are not routable on the internet. Therefore, when Router1 receives packets with a private source IP address, it will drop them as it cannot forward them to the destination IP address on the internet.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. If host 1 was to send an HTTP request to the web server that connects to Router2, what type of Layer 2 frame would be sent between Router1 and the ISP?
- A.
A frame with a header that contains the port number of 80
- B.
A frame with a header and trailer, but no MAC addresses
- C.
A frame with a header and a trailer that only contains IP addresses
- D.
A frame with the host 1 MAC address as the source and Router1 MAC address as the destination
- E.
A frame with the host 1 MAC address as the source and the server MAC address as the destination
Correct Answer
B. A frame with a header and trailer, but no MAC addressesExplanation
When host 1 sends an HTTP request to the web server that connects to Router2, the Layer 2 frame that would be sent between Router1 and the ISP would not contain MAC addresses. This is because at Layer 2, the frames are encapsulated with MAC addresses for communication within a local network. However, when the frame is sent to the ISP, it is stripped of the MAC addresses and encapsulated with Layer 3 IP addresses for communication over the internet. Therefore, the frame would have a header and trailer, but no MAC addresses.Rate this question:

- B.
509
- C.
1021
- D.
2045
- E.
4093
Correct Answer
E. 4093Explanation
The given IP address 10.250.206.55/20 indicates that it belongs to a subnet with a subnet mask of 20 bits. In a subnet with a 20-bit mask, the first 20 bits are used for the network address, leaving 12 bits for host addresses. With 12 bits, there are 2^12 (4096) possible host addresses. However, some of these addresses are reserved for network and broadcast addresses. In this case, the network address is 10.250.192.0 and the broadcast address is 10.250.207.255, leaving 4094 usable host addresses. Therefore, 4093 more network devices can be added to this same subnetwork.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Static NATExplanation
Static NAT allows a host on a public network to have consistent access to a specified private inside host. With static NAT, a one-to-one mapping is created between the public IP address and the private IP address, ensuring that the inside host always has the same public IP address when communicating with the outside network. This allows for consistent and predictable access to the inside host from the public network.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
C. 198.133.219.35
E. 198.133.219.44Explanation
The "inside global" addresses are the public IP addresses that are used on the outside network. In this case, the addresses 198.133.219.35 and 198.133.219.44 are the only ones that belong to the public IP address range, which makes them the "inside global" addresses. The other addresses (192.168.7.3, 64.100.1.5, and 192.168.7.2) are private IP addresses and therefore not considered "inside global" addresses.Rate this question:

C. 223.168.210.100
D. 220.100.100.154
E. 196.123.142.190Explanation
The subnet mask 255.255.255.248 indicates that the network portion of the IP address is the first 29 bits, leaving the last 3 bits for host addresses. In binary, this subnet mask is represented as 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111000. This means that the valid host IP addresses must have the last 3 bits set to any value other than all zeros (network address) or all ones (broadcast address). Among the given options, 223.168.210.100, 220.100.100.154, and 196.123.142.190 have the last 3 bits set to non-zero values, making them valid host IP addresses.Rate this question:

10.149.255.255
- D.
10.149.191.255
- E.
10.159.255.255
Correct Answer
E. 10.159.255.255Explanation
The broadcast address is the highest address in a subnetwork and is used to send a message to all devices on that subnetwork. In this case, the broadcast address for the subnetwork on which host A resides would be 10.159.255.255. This is because the given IP addresses are all in the range of 10.x.x.x, and the highest value for the third octet is 159. Therefore, the broadcast address would have the same first three octets (10.159) and the highest value for the fourth octet (255).Rate this question:
