What are two advantages of packet switching over circuit switching? (Choose two.)
- A.
  
  The communication costs are lower.
- B.
  
  There are fewer delays in the data communications processes.
- C.
  
  Multiple pairs of nodes can communicate over the same network channel.
- D.
  
  A dedicated secure circuit is established between each pair of communicating nodes.
- E.
  
  A connection through the service provider network is established quickly before communications start.
Correct Answer(s)
A. The communication costs are lower.
C. Multiple pairs of nodes can communicate over the same network channel.

Explanation
Packet switching offers two advantages over circuit switching. Firstly, the communication costs are lower in packet switching as it allows for the efficient use of network resources. Instead of dedicating a circuit for the entire duration of a communication, packets can be sent separately and routed through different paths, optimizing the use of available bandwidth. Secondly, multiple pairs of nodes can communicate over the same network channel simultaneously in packet switching. This is possible because packets are individually addressed and can be interleaved and transmitted in a shared manner, allowing for increased network capacity and flexibility.

A network engineer is troubleshooting the failure of CHAP authentication over a PPP WAN link between two routers. When CHAP authentication is not included as part of the interface configuration on both routers, communication across the link is successful. What could be causing CHAP to fail?
- A.
  
  The username configured on each router matches the hostname of the other router.
- B.
  
  The secret password configured on each router is different.
- C.
  
  The clock rate has not been configured on the DCE serial interface.
- D.
  
  The hostname configured on each router is different.
Correct Answer
B. The secret password configured on each router is different.

Explanation
The failure of CHAP authentication could be caused by the secret password configured on each router being different. CHAP authentication requires that both routers have the same secret password configured in order to establish a secure connection. If the passwords do not match, the authentication process will fail and communication across the link will not be successful.

- E.
  
  Enable PPP encapsulation on the multilink interface.
- F.
  
  Bind the multilink bundle to the Fast Ethernet interface.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Assign the serial interfaces to the multilink bundle.
B. Enable PPP encapsulation on the serial interfaces.
C. Create and configure the multilink interface

Explanation
To configure Multilink PPP on the HQ router, the first step is to assign the serial interfaces to the multilink bundle. This is done to combine multiple physical links into a single logical link. The second step is to enable PPP encapsulation on the serial interfaces, which is necessary for PPP to encapsulate and transmit data over the links. The third step is to create and configure the multilink interface, which will act as the logical interface for the combined links. This includes specifying the IP address, subnet mask, and other configuration parameters for the multilink interface.

Rate this question:
13.

Which statement describes the difference between CHAP and PAP in PPP authentication?
- A.
  
  PAP uses a two-way handshake method and CHAP uses a three-way handshake method.
- B.
  
  PAP and CHAP provide equivalent protection against replay attacks.
- C.
  
  PAP sends the password encrypted and CHAP does not send the password at all.
- D.
  
  PAP sends the password once and CHAP sends the password repeatedly until acknowledgment of authentication is received.
Correct Answer
A. PAP uses a two-way handshake method and CHAP uses a three-way handshake method.

Explanation
PAP uses a two-way handshake method and CHAP uses a three-way handshake method. In PAP, the client sends the username and password to the server in clear text, and the server responds with an acknowledgment. This two-way exchange is vulnerable to replay attacks. On the other hand, CHAP uses a three-way handshake where the client sends the username to the server, and the server responds with a challenge. The client then encrypts the challenge with the password and sends it back to the server for verification. This three-way exchange provides better protection against replay attacks.

A network administrator is explaining to a junior colleague the use of the lt and gt keywords when filtering packets using an extended ACL. Where would the lt or gt keywords be used?
- A.
  
  In an IPv6 extended ACL that stops packets going to one specific destination VLAN
- B.
  
  in an IPv4 named standard ACL that has specific UDP protocols that are allowed to be used on a specific server
- C.
  
  in an IPv6 named ACL that permits FTP traffic from one particular LAN getting to another LAN
- D.
  
  in an IPv4 extended ACL that allows packets from a range of TCP ports destined for a specific network device
Correct Answer
D. in an IPv4 extended ACL that allows packets from a range of TCP ports destined for a specific network device

Explanation
The lt and gt keywords would be used in an IPv4 extended ACL that allows packets from a range of TCP ports destined for a specific network device. These keywords are used to specify a range of values for a particular field in the packet header, such as the source or destination port. "lt" stands for "less than" and "gt" stands for "greater than", allowing the administrator to filter packets based on their port numbers falling within a specified range.

Refer to the exhibit. A router has an existing ACL that permits all traffic from the 172.16.0.0 network. The administrator attempts to add a new ACE to the ACL that denies packets from host 172.16.0.1 and receives the error message that is shown in the exhibit. What action can the administrator take to block packets from host 172.16.0.1 while still permitting all other traffic from the 172.16.0.0 network?
- A.
  
  Manually add the new deny ACE with a sequence number of 5.
- B.
  
  Manually add the new deny ACE with a sequence number of 15.
- C.
  
  Create a second access list denying the host and apply it to the same interface.
- D.
  
  Add a deny any any ACE to access-list 1.
Correct Answer
A. Manually add the new deny ACE with a sequence number of 5.

Explanation
The administrator should manually add the new deny ACE with a sequence number of 5. This is because the error message indicates that there is already an ACE with a sequence number of 5 in the ACL. By manually adding the new deny ACE with a higher sequence number, such as 5, it ensures that the new ACE will be processed before the existing ACE with the same sequence number, effectively blocking packets from host 172.16.0.1 while still permitting all other traffic from the 172.16.0.0 network.

Which statement describes a difference between the operation of inbound and outbound ACLs?
- A.
  
  In contrast to outbound ALCs, inbound ACLs can be used to filter packets with multiple criteria.
- B.
  
  Inbound ACLs can be used in both routers and switches but outbound ACLs can be used only on routers.
- C.
  
  Inbound ACLs are processed before the packets are routed while outbound ACLs are processed after the routing is completed.
- D.
  
  On a network interface, more than one inbound ACL can be configured but only one outbound ACL can be configured.
Correct Answer
C. Inbound ACLs are processed before the packets are routed while outbound ACLs are processed after the routing is completed.

Explanation
Inbound ACLs are processed before the packets are routed, meaning that they are evaluated as soon as the packets enter the network interface. This allows for filtering and controlling the incoming traffic based on specific criteria. On the other hand, outbound ACLs are processed after the routing is completed, meaning that they are evaluated when the packets are leaving the network interface. This allows for filtering and controlling the outgoing traffic based on specific criteria. This difference in processing order allows for different levels of control and filtering in inbound and outbound ACLs.

Why is QoS an important issue in a converged network that combines voice, video, and data communications?
- A.
  
  Data communications must be given the first priority.
- B.
  
  Data communications are sensitive to jitter.
- C.
  
  Voice and video communications are more sensitive to latency.
- D.
  
  Legacy equipment is unable to transmit voice and video without QoS.
Correct Answer
C. Voice and video communications are more sensitive to latency.

Explanation
Voice and video communications require real-time transmission and any delay in delivering the data can result in poor call quality or video playback. Latency refers to the delay in transmitting data packets from one point to another. In a converged network that combines voice, video, and data communications, ensuring low latency is crucial to maintain the quality of voice and video streams. Therefore, prioritizing voice and video communications by implementing Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms becomes important to minimize latency and provide a seamless experience for users.

True or False.DiffServ is a QoS strategy that enforces end-to-end guarantees.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
DiffServ (Differentiated Services) is a QoS (Quality of Service) strategy that provides differentiated treatment to different types of network traffic. However, it does not enforce end-to-end guarantees. DiffServ operates at the network layer and uses various mechanisms such as traffic classification, marking, and queuing to prioritize and manage network traffic. While it can improve the overall quality of service, it does not guarantee end-to-end performance or enforce specific guarantees for individual flows or connections.

Rate this question:
39.

What QoS step must occur before packets can be marked?
- A.
  
  policing
- B.
  
  shaping
- C.
  
  classifying
- D.
  
  Queuing
Correct Answer
C. classifying

Explanation
Before packets can be marked, they must go through the process of classifying. This involves examining the packets and determining their characteristics or attributes, such as the source or destination IP address, port number, or protocol type. Classifying allows network devices to identify and categorize packets into different classes or groups based on specific criteria. Once packets are classified, they can then be marked with appropriate Quality of Service (QoS) labels or tags, which are used to prioritize and manage the packets as they traverse the network.

  There is no gateway of last resort at R1.
- B.
  
  The serial interface between the two routers is down.
- C.
  
  A default route is not configured on R1.
- D.
  
  The static route for 192.168.2.0 is incorrectly configured.
Correct Answer
D. The static route for 192.168.2.0 is incorrectly configured.

Explanation
The static route for 192.168.2.0 is incorrectly configured. This means that R1 does not have a proper route to reach the 192.168.2.0 network. As a result, any ping from R1 to an address in the 192.168.2.0 network will fail because R1 does not know how to reach that network. The successful ping to 10.1.1.2 indicates that there is connectivity between R1 and another network, but the issue lies specifically with the 192.168.2.0 network.
