2. What is the purpose of the vlan.dat file on a switch?

Explanation

The purpose of the vlan.dat file on a switch is to hold the VLAN database. This file contains information about the virtual LANs configured on the switch, including their names, IDs, and associated ports. The VLAN database is important for the switch to properly handle and forward network traffic based on the VLAN configurations. The vlan.dat file is typically stored in non-volatile memory, allowing the switch to retain the VLAN database even after a power cycle or reboot.

Submit
3. What eliminates switching loops?

Explanation

The Spanning Tree Protocol is designed to prevent and eliminate switching loops in a network. It accomplishes this by creating a loop-free logical topology and blocking redundant paths. By selecting a root bridge and calculating the shortest path to each network segment, the Spanning Tree Protocol ensures that only one active path exists between any two network devices, effectively eliminating switching loops.

Submit
4. What term is used to express the thickness or height of a switch?

Explanation

The term "rack unit" is used to express the thickness or height of a switch. A rack unit is a standard unit of measurement for the height of equipment that is mounted in a rack. It is equal to 1.75 inches or 44.45 millimeters. By using rack units, it becomes easier to determine the amount of space that a switch or any other equipment occupies in a rack.

Submit
5. What is the function of STP in a scalable network?

Explanation

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is a network protocol that prevents loops in a layer 2 network. By disabling redundant paths, it ensures that there is only one active path between any two network devices, thus eliminating the possibility of Layer 2 loops. This prevents broadcast storms and ensures efficient and reliable network communication.

Submit
6. What is the function of STP in a scalable network?

Explanation

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is used in a scalable network to disable redundant paths and prevent Layer 2 loops. Layer 2 loops can occur when there are multiple paths between switches, causing broadcast storms and network congestion. By disabling redundant paths, STP ensures that there is only one active path between switches, eliminating the possibility of loops. This helps in maintaining a stable and efficient network by preventing packet duplication and ensuring proper forwarding of data.

Submit
7. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has configured OFPF in the topology as shown. What is the preferred path to get from the LAN network that is connected to R1 to the LAN network that is connected to R7?

Explanation

The preferred path to get from the LAN network connected to R1 to the LAN network connected to R7 is R1-R3-R4-R5-R6-R7. This path follows a direct route from R1 to R7, passing through R3, R4, R5, and R6 along the way. This path is preferred because it has the fewest number of hops and avoids unnecessary detours through other routers.

Submit
8. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is reviewing the configuration of switch S1. Which protocol has been implemented to group multiple physical ports into one logical link?

Explanation

The correct answer is PAgP. PAgP stands for Port Aggregation Protocol, which is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to group multiple physical ports into one logical link. It allows for increased bandwidth and redundancy by combining the bandwidth of multiple ports into a single logical link. This protocol is commonly used in EtherChannel configurations to provide link aggregation and load balancing.

Submit
9. Refer to the exhibit. Which command should be used to configure EIGRP to only advertise the network that is attached to the gigabit Ethernet 0/1 interface?

Explanation

The correct answer is "network 172.16.23.64 0.0.0.63". This command specifies the network address and wildcard mask to be advertised by EIGRP. In this case, the wildcard mask 0.0.0.63 matches the range of addresses from 172.16.23.64 to 172.16.23.127, which includes the network attached to the gigabit Ethernet 0/1 interface. The other network statements either have a larger wildcard mask or do not cover the entire range of addresses for the attached network.

Submit
10. Which command will start the process to bundle two physical interfaces to create an EtherChannel group via LACP?

Explanation

The correct answer is "interface range GigabitEthernet 0/4 – 5". This command is used to specify the range of physical interfaces (GigabitEthernet 0/4 - 5) that will be bundled together to create an EtherChannel group.

Submit
11. Which command will configure an IPv6 default static route?

Explanation

The correct answer is "router(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 s0/0/0". This command will configure an IPv6 default static route. The "::/0" represents the default route, and "s0/0/0" specifies the exit interface for the route. By using this command, the router will forward any IPv6 traffic for which it does not have a specific route to the specified interface.

Submit
12. What indicates to a link-state router that a neighbor is unreachable?

Explanation

A link-state router determines that a neighbor is unreachable if it no longer receives hello packets from that neighbor. Hello packets are used by link-state routing protocols to establish and maintain neighbor relationships. If a router stops receiving hello packets from a neighbor, it indicates that the neighbor is no longer reachable or has failed.

Submit
13. In the Cisco hierarchical design model, which layer is more likely to have a fixed configuration switch than the other layers?

Explanation

In the Cisco hierarchical design model, the access layer is more likely to have a fixed configuration switch than the other layers. This is because the access layer is responsible for connecting end-user devices, such as computers and printers, to the network. These devices typically have less complex networking requirements and do not need the flexibility and scalability provided by switches in the distribution or core layers. Therefore, fixed configuration switches are commonly used in the access layer to provide a cost-effective and simplified solution for connecting end-user devices to the network.

Submit
14. Which configuration changes will increment the configuration revision number on the VTP server?

Explanation

Configuring or deleting a VLAN or creating a VLAN name will increment the configuration revision number on the VTP server because these actions involve making changes to the VLAN database. The configuration revision number is a value that is incremented each time a change is made to the VLAN database, allowing VTP clients to determine if they have the most up-to-date VLAN information.

Submit
15. As the network administrator you have been asked to implement EtherChannel on the corporate network. What does this configuration consist of?

Explanation

EtherChannel is a configuration that involves grouping multiple physical ports together to increase the bandwidth between two switches. By combining these ports, the network administrator can effectively create a higher-speed connection between the switches, allowing for increased data transfer rates and improved network performance. This configuration helps to optimize network utilization and provides a more efficient and reliable network infrastructure.

Submit
16. When EtherChannel is configured, which mode will force an interface into a port channel without exchanging aggregation protocol packets?

Explanation

The "on" mode will force an interface into a port channel without exchanging aggregation protocol packets. In this mode, the interface will be immediately added to the port channel without any negotiation or exchange of information with the other end. This can be useful in situations where you want to manually configure the port channel without relying on any negotiation protocols.

Submit
17. What is the term used to describe a network topology where the subnets from a major classful network address space are separated from each other by addresses from a different major classful network address?

Explanation

A discontiguous network is a term used to describe a network topology where the subnets from a major classful network address space are separated from each other by addresses from a different major classful network address. In other words, the subnets within the network are not contiguous or adjacent to each other, but rather have non-adjacent addresses between them. This can be done for various reasons, such as to accommodate future growth or to isolate different parts of the network for security purposes.

Submit
18. A network administrator is planning to add a new switch to the network. What should the network administrator do to ensure the new switch exchanges VTP information with the other switches in the VTP domain?

Explanation

To ensure that the new switch exchanges VTP information with the other switches in the VTP domain, the network administrator needs to configure the correct VTP domain name and password on the new switch. This is because VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) allows switches to share VLAN information within a domain, and in order for the new switch to participate in this exchange, it needs to have the same domain name and password as the other switches in the network. By configuring the correct VTP domain name and password, the new switch will be able to communicate and synchronize VLAN information with the other switches in the VTP domain.

Submit
19. A small company network has six interconnected Layer 2 switches. Currently all switches are using the default bridge priority value. Which value can be used to configure the bridge priority of one of the switches to ensure that it becomes the root bridge in this design?

Explanation

The bridge priority value is used in the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to determine the root bridge. The lower the bridge priority value, the higher the priority. In this scenario, all switches are currently using the default bridge priority value, which is 32768. To ensure that one of the switches becomes the root bridge, a lower bridge priority value must be configured. The value 28672 is lower than the default value and can be used to configure the bridge priority of one of the switches to become the root bridge.

Submit
20. Refer to the exhibit. In this scenario, Area 40 cannot be connected directly to Area 0. Which OSPF network type must be configured in Area 1 to connect these areas?​

Explanation

In order to connect Area 40 to Area 0 when direct connection is not possible, a virtual link must be configured in Area 1. A virtual link is used to establish a logical connection between two areas that are not directly connected. It allows traffic to be routed through intermediate areas to reach the desired destination.

Submit
21. Refer to the exhibit. The configuration shows commands entered by a network administrator for inter-VLAN routing. However, host H1 cannot communicate with H2. Which part of the inter-VLAN configuration causes the problem?

Explanation

The VLAN configuration is the part of the inter-VLAN configuration that causes the problem. This could mean that the VLANs are not properly configured or assigned to the correct ports on the switches. Without the correct VLAN configuration, the hosts in different VLANs will not be able to communicate with each other.

Submit
22. A network administrator configured an EtherChannel link with three interfaces between two switches. What is the result if one of the three interfaces is down?

Explanation

If one of the three interfaces in the EtherChannel link is down, the remaining two interfaces will still continue to load balance traffic. This means that the traffic will be distributed across the two remaining interfaces, ensuring that the network continues to function efficiently. The load balancing mechanism will distribute the traffic based on various factors such as source and destination IP addresses, MAC addresses, or protocols. This helps to optimize the utilization of the available bandwidth and prevents any single interface from becoming overloaded.

Submit
23. Which statement describes the load balancing behavior of EIGRP?

Explanation

Both EIGRP for IPv4 and EIGRP for IPv6 support unequal cost load balancing.

Submit
24. What routing protocol can be configured to load balance across paths with unequal metrics through the use of the variance command?

Explanation

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) can be configured to load balance across paths with unequal metrics through the use of the variance command. This command allows EIGRP to consider routes with metrics that are more than a certain value (variance) as equal-cost paths, and distribute traffic across them accordingly. By doing so, EIGRP can effectively utilize multiple paths with varying metrics, optimizing network performance and balancing the traffic load.

Submit
25. A network designer is considering whether to implement a switch block on the company network. What is the primary advantage of deploying a switch block?

Explanation

The primary advantage of deploying a switch block is that the failure of a switch block will not impact all end users. This means that if one switch in the block fails, only the users connected to that specific switch will be affected, while the rest of the network will continue to function normally. This provides better network reliability and minimizes the impact of failures on overall network performance.

Submit
26. Refer to the exhibit. Which route or routes will be advertised to the router ISP if autosummarization is enabled?​

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
27. What does the cost of an OSPF link indicate?

Explanation

A lower cost indicates a better path to the destination than a higher cost does because in OSPF, the cost of a link is inversely proportional to its bandwidth. Therefore, a lower cost means a higher bandwidth, which results in a faster and more efficient path to the destination.

Submit
28. Which statement describes the autonomous system number used in EIGRP configuration on a Cisco router?

Explanation

The autonomous system number (ASN) used in EIGRP configuration on a Cisco router functions as a process ID in the operation of the router. This means that it is used to identify and differentiate multiple instances of EIGRP running on the same router. Each instance of EIGRP is treated as a separate process, and the ASN is used to uniquely identify each process. This allows for the routing table and other EIGRP parameters to be maintained separately for each process, ensuring proper operation and scalability of the network.

Submit
29. What does the SPF algorithm consider to be the best path to a network?

Explanation

The SPF (Shortest Path First) algorithm considers the path that includes the fastest cumulative bandwidth links to be the best path to a network. This means that the algorithm prioritizes the path that has the highest total bandwidth available along its links. By choosing this path, the algorithm aims to maximize the overall data transfer rate and minimize congestion.

Submit
30. What is the value used to determine which port on a non-root bridge will become a root port in a STP network?

Explanation

The value used to determine which port on a non-root bridge will become a root port in a STP network is the path cost. The path cost is a value assigned to each port based on the speed of the link connected to that port. The port with the lowest path cost will be selected as the root port.

Submit
31. A network engineer is interested in obtaining specific information relevant to the operation of both distribution and access layer Cisco devices. Which command provides common information relevant to both types of devices?

Explanation

The command "show cdp neighbors" provides information about the directly connected Cisco devices. This command is relevant to both distribution and access layer devices as it displays the neighbors of a device, allowing the engineer to see the devices it is directly connected to. This information can be useful for troubleshooting, verifying connectivity, and understanding the network topology.

Submit
32. A network administrator is analyzing the features that are supported by different first-hop router redundancy protocols. Which statement describes a feature that is associated with HSRP?

Explanation

HSRP is a first-hop router redundancy protocol that allows for the use of active and standby routers. This means that one router will be actively forwarding traffic while the other remains on standby, ready to take over if the active router fails. This provides redundancy and ensures that there is no single point of failure in the network.

Submit
33. When are EIGRP update packets sent?

Explanation

EIGRP update packets are sent only when necessary, meaning they are only sent when there are changes in the network topology or when there is new information to be shared. This approach helps to reduce unnecessary network traffic and conserve bandwidth. By sending updates only when necessary, EIGRP ensures that routers are kept up-to-date with the latest routing information without overwhelming the network with excessive update packets.

Submit
34. Which address is used by an IPv6 EIGRP router as the source for hello messages?

Explanation

The interface IPv6 link-local address is used by an IPv6 EIGRP router as the source for hello messages. This address is automatically generated by the router based on the interface's MAC address and allows communication between devices on the same link or network segment. It is commonly used for neighbor discovery and initial communication before obtaining a global unicast address. The link-local address is unique to each interface and does not change unless the interface is reconfigured or replaced. Therefore, it is a suitable choice for identifying the source of hello messages in EIGRP.

Submit
35. What are two requirements when using out-of-band configuration of a Cisco IOS network device? (Choose two.)

Explanation

When using out-of-band configuration of a Cisco IOS network device, two requirements are a terminal emulation client and a direct connection to the console or AUX port. A terminal emulation client is necessary to establish a connection with the device and configure it. The direct connection to the console or AUX port allows for direct access to the device's management interface, bypassing the network interface. This ensures that configuration can be performed even if the network is down or experiencing issues.

Submit
36. Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator configures both switches as displayed. However, host C is unable to ping host D and host E is unable to ping host F. What action should the administrator take to enable this communication?

Explanation

The administrator should configure either trunk port in the dynamic desirable mode. This is because the exhibit shows that the connection between SW1 and SW2 is a trunk link. By configuring either trunk port in the dynamic desirable mode, it allows the switches to negotiate the trunking protocol and establish a trunk link between them. This will enable the communication between the hosts on VLAN 10, which includes host C and host D, as well as host E and host F.

Submit
37. Refer to the exhibit. Which switch will be elected the root bridge and which switch will place a port in blocking mode? (Choose two.)

Explanation

SW3 will become the root bridge because it has the lowest bridge ID (priority + MAC address). SW4 will get a port blocked because it has the highest path cost to reach the root bridge.

Submit
38. An EIGRP router loses the route to a network. Its topology table contains two feasible successors to the same network. What action will the router take?

Explanation

When an EIGRP router loses the route to a network and has two feasible successors to the same network in its topology table, the router will immediately insert the best alternative backup route into the routing table. This is because EIGRP uses the successor and feasible successor routes to provide redundancy and load balancing. So, when one route is lost, the router can quickly switch to the backup route without recomputing the DUAL algorithm or querying neighbors for an alternate route.

Submit
39. What type of packets are sent when there is a change in the EIGRP topology?

Explanation

When there is a change in the EIGRP topology, triggered bounded updates are sent as packets. These updates are specifically generated in response to the change and are sent to the affected routers in order to inform them about the new network topology. This helps in quickly updating the routing tables and ensuring efficient and accurate routing within the network.

Submit
40. Which three STP states were replaced with the RSTP discarding state? (Choose three.)

Explanation

The three STP states that were replaced with the RSTP discarding state are listening, blocking, and disabled. In RSTP, the discarding state combines the functionality of these three states. The listening state is used by STP to learn the network topology before forwarding any traffic. The blocking state is used to prevent loops in the network by blocking certain ports. The disabled state represents a port that is administratively disabled and not participating in STP. RSTP simplifies the process by combining these states into a single discarding state.

Submit
41. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has configured the OSPF timers to the values that are shown in the graphic. What is the result of having those manually configured timers?

Explanation

The R1 dead timer expires between hello packets from R2. This means that if R1 does not receive a hello packet from R2 within the specified dead timer interval, it will consider R2 as dead or unreachable. This could be due to a network issue or a problem with R2. The dead timer is an important parameter in OSPF to determine the reachability of neighboring routers.

Submit
42. Which routing protocol is able to scale for large networks and utilizes non-backbone areas for expansion?

Explanation

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a routing protocol that is able to scale for large networks and utilizes non-backbone areas for expansion. OSPF uses a hierarchical structure, dividing the network into areas, with each area having its own routing table. This allows for efficient routing and reduces the amount of routing information that needs to be exchanged between routers. Non-backbone areas can be added to the network as it expands, allowing OSPF to handle large networks effectively.

Submit
43. Which two parameters does EIGRP use by default to calculate the best path? (Choose two.)

Explanation

EIGRP uses delay and bandwidth by default to calculate the best path. Delay is the measure of the time it takes for a packet to travel from one router to another, while bandwidth refers to the capacity of a network link to carry data. By considering both delay and bandwidth, EIGRP can determine the most efficient and reliable path for routing traffic. Other parameters like MTU, reliability, and transmit and receive load are not used by default in EIGRP's path calculation process.

Submit
44. A network administrator enters the spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default command. What is the result of this command being issued on a Cisco switch?

Explanation

The command "spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default" enables BPDU guard on all switch ports that have been configured with PortFast. BPDU guard error-disables a switch port if it receives a BPDU, which helps to prevent loops in the network. This ensures that any switch port configured with PortFast will be disabled if it receives a BPDU, providing additional security and stability to the network.

Submit
45. Refer to the exhibit. R1 and R2 are OSPFv3 neighbors. Which address would R1 use as the next hop for packets that are destined for the Internet?

Explanation

R1 would use the address FE80::21E:BEFF:FEF4:5538 as the next hop for packets that are destined for the Internet. This is because the address FE80::21E:BEFF:FEF4:5538 is a link-local address, which is used for communication within the same network segment. Since R1 and R2 are OSPFv3 neighbors, they are in the same network segment. Therefore, R1 would use the link-local address of R2 (FE80::21E:BEFF:FEF4:5538) as the next hop for packets destined for the Internet.

Submit
46. A router is participating in an OSPFv2 domain. What will always happen if the dead interval expires before the router receives a hello packet from an adjacent DROTHER OSPF router?

Explanation

If the dead interval expires before the router receives a hello packet from an adjacent DROTHER OSPF router, OSPF will remove that neighbor from the router link-state database. This is because the dead interval is the time period in which the router expects to receive a hello packet from its neighbors. If the hello packet is not received within this time frame, the router assumes that the neighbor is no longer available and removes it from its database.

Submit
47. Which two addresses represent valid destination addresses for an OSPFv3 message? (Choose two.)

Explanation

The correct answer is FF02::5 and FE80::42.

FF02::5 is a valid destination address for an OSPFv3 message because it is the link-local all OSPFv3 routers multicast address.

FE80::42 is also a valid destination address for an OSPFv3 message because it is a link-local unicast address, which is used for communication within the same network segment.

Submit
48. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has configured OSPFv2 on the two Cisco routers as shown. The routers are unable to form a neighbor adjacency. What should be done to fix the problem?

Explanation

The command "no passive-interface Serial0/1" should be implemented to fix the problem. By default, OSPF interfaces are in passive mode, which means they do not actively participate in forming neighbor adjacencies. By removing the passive-interface configuration on Serial0/1, the interface will actively participate in OSPF neighbor discovery and form a neighbor adjacency with the other router.

Submit
49. What capability do protocol-dependent modules provide to the EIGRP routing protocol?

Explanation

Protocol-dependent modules provide the capability to route different Layer 3 protocols in the EIGRP routing protocol. This means that EIGRP can handle routing for multiple types of protocols, such as IP, IPX, and AppleTalk, allowing the network to support diverse communication requirements. By supporting different Layer 3 protocols, EIGRP enables efficient and effective routing across various network environments.

Submit
50. What are three characteristics of VTP? (Choose three.)

Explanation

In the default VTP mode, VLANs can be created and modified on a switch. This means that a switch can add or modify VLANs without needing to be in VTP server mode. Switches in VTP server mode store VLANs in the vlan.dat database. This allows the switch to keep track of the VLAN information and distribute it to other switches in the VTP domain. VTP updates are exchanged across trunk links only. This means that switches must have trunk links configured in order to receive and send VTP updates.

Submit
51. When will a router that is running EIGRP put a destination network in the active state?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
52. Refer to the exhibit. What method can be used to enable an OSPF router to advertise a default route to neighboring OSPF routers?

Explanation

The correct answer is to use the default-information originate command on R0-A. This command allows R0-A to advertise a default route to neighboring OSPF routers. By using this command, R0-A will inject a default route into the OSPF domain, which will then be propagated to other OSPF routers. This is a common method used to provide a default route in OSPF networks.

Submit
53. Refer to the exhibit. For the given topology, what are three results of the OSPF DR and BDR elections ? (Choose three.)

Explanation

The OSPF DR and BDR elections are based on the OSPF priority value assigned to each router. The router with the highest priority becomes the DR, and the router with the second-highest priority becomes the BDR. In the given topology, R3 has the highest priority for both segment A and segment B, making it the DR for both segments. R5 has the second-highest priority for segment B, making it the BDR for that segment.

Submit
54. A switched network has converged completely. All switches currently have a VTP revision number of 5. A new switch that has been configured as a VTP server is added to the network. The new switch has a VTP revision number of 4. What will occur within the network?

Explanation

When a new switch with a lower VTP revision number is added to a switched network that has already converged, the VTP databases in all switches will remain unchanged except for the newly added switch. This is because VTP uses the revision number to determine whether a VTP update is more recent or not. Since the new switch has a lower revision number, it will not be able to update the VTP databases of the existing switches. Therefore, the VTP databases will remain unchanged in all switches except for the newly added switch.

Submit
55. Refer to the exhibit. A company has migrated from single area OSPF to multiarea. However, none of the users from network 192.168.1.0/24 in the new area can be reached by anyone in the Branch1 office. From the output in the exhibit, what is the problem?

Explanation

The problem is that there are no interarea routes in the routing table for network 192.168.1.0. This means that the router does not have any information on how to reach the network in the new area. As a result, none of the users from network 192.168.1.0/24 can be reached by anyone in the Branch1 office.

Submit
56. What are three features of EIGRP? (Choose three.)

Explanation

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) has three main features. First, it establishes neighbor adjacencies, which allows routers to exchange routing information and establish a neighbor relationship. Second, it uses the Reliable Transport Protocol, ensuring that packets are delivered reliably and in order. Lastly, EIGRP supports both equal and unequal cost load balancing, allowing for efficient distribution of traffic across multiple paths with equal or different costs.

Submit
57. In an OSPFv2 configuration, what is the effect of entering the command network 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0?

Explanation

The command "network 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0" is used in OSPFv2 configuration to enable OSPF on a specific interface. By specifying the IP address 192.168.1.1, the command tells the router to activate OSPF on the interface associated with that IP address. This allows the router to participate in the OSPF routing process and exchange routing information with other OSPF routers in the same area.

Submit
58. What information is contained in OSPF type 3 LSAs?

Explanation

OSPF type 3 LSAs contain information about networks that are reachable in other areas. This means that these LSAs provide details about networks that can be accessed through OSPF routers in different areas. These LSAs help routers in determining the best path to reach these networks and facilitate efficient routing within the OSPF network.

Submit
59. What are two features of a link-state routing protocol? (Choose two.)

Explanation

A link-state routing protocol has two features. First, routers send triggered updates in response to a change. This means that when there is a change in the network, such as a link going down or a new link being added, routers will immediately send updates to inform other routers about the change. Second, routers create a topology of the network by using information from other routers. Each router collects information about the network from neighboring routers and builds a database that represents the topology of the entire network. This allows routers to make informed decisions about the best paths to send data.

Submit
60. Refer to the exhibit. Switch SW-A is to be used as a temporary replacement for another switch in the VTP Student domain. What two pieces of information are indicated from the exhibited output? (Choose two.)

Explanation

From the exhibited output, it can be inferred that there is a risk that the switch may cause incorrect VLAN information to be sent through the domain. This is indicated by the "VTP Configuration Revision" value of 0, which means that the switch has not received any VTP updates and may not have the latest VLAN information. Additionally, it can be determined that this switch will update its VLAN configuration when VLAN changes are made on a VTP server in the same domain, as the "VTP Operating Mode" is set to "Client" indicating that it will receive updates from a VTP server.

Submit
61. Which three pieces of information does a link-state routing protocol use initially as link-state information for locally connected links? (Choose three.)

Explanation

A link-state routing protocol uses the link router interface IP address and subnet mask as link-state information for locally connected links. This information is necessary to identify the specific interface and its network address. Additionally, the type of network link is used to determine the characteristics and capabilities of the link, such as whether it is a Ethernet, serial, or wireless link. Finally, the cost of the link is important as it helps the routing protocol determine the most efficient path for forwarding packets.
