- B.
There is an incorrect DLCI number in the map statement.
- C.
An incorrect IP address exists in the map statement.
- D.
The encapsulation frame-relay command is missing the broadcast keyword.
Correct Answer
C. An incorrect IP address exists in the map statement.Explanation
The debug output shows that the frame-relay packet is being sent to the IP address 192.168.11.1, which is the IP address of R1. However, in the frame-relay map statement, the IP address specified is 192.168.11.2, which is the IP address of R3 itself. Therefore, the problem is that there is an incorrect IP address in the map statement.Rate this question:

What guideline is generally followed about the placement of extended access control lists?
- A.
They should be placed as close as possible to the source of the traffic to be denied.
- B.
They should be placed as close as possible to the destination of the traffic to be denied.
- C.
They should be placed on the fastest interface available.
- D.
They should be placed on the destination WAN link.
Correct Answer
A. They should be placed as close as possible to the source of the traffic to be denied.Explanation
Extended access control lists (ACLs) should be placed as close as possible to the source of the traffic to be denied. This is because ACLs are used to filter network traffic based on specific criteria, such as source and destination IP addresses, protocol types, and port numbers. By placing the ACLs closer to the source of the traffic, they can be applied earlier in the network path, allowing for more efficient and effective filtering. This helps to reduce unnecessary network traffic and potential security risks.Rate this question:

Which statement describes the process that occurs in Network Address Translation (NAT) overloading?
- A.
Multiple private IP addresses are mapped to one public IP address.
- B.
The number of usable addresses that is assigned to a company is divided into smaller manageable groups.
- C.
A pool of IP addresses are mapped to one or more MAC addresses.
- D.
The router acts as a DHCP server and assigns multiple public IP addresses for each private IP address configured.
Correct Answer
A. Multiple private IP addresses are mapped to one public IP address.Explanation
NAT overloading, also known as Port Address Translation (PAT), is a process in which multiple private IP addresses are mapped to one public IP address. This allows multiple devices within a private network to share a single public IP address when communicating with devices on the internet. The router keeps track of the source port numbers to differentiate between the different private IP addresses. This technique helps conserve the limited pool of public IP addresses and provides a level of security by hiding the internal IP addresses from external networks.Rate this question:

What best describes the operation of distance vector routing protocols?
- A.
They use hop count as their only metric.
- B.
They only send out updates when a new network is added.
- C.
They send their routing tables to directly connected neighbors.
- D.
They flood the entire network with routing updates.
Correct Answer
C. They send their routing tables to directly connected neighbors.Explanation
Distance vector routing protocols, such as RIP (Routing Information Protocol), operate by sending their routing tables to directly connected neighbors. These protocols periodically exchange information with their neighbors, sharing the entire routing table. Each router then uses this information to calculate the best path to reach a destination network. The routing updates are sent only to the directly connected neighbors, minimizing the amount of network traffic. This allows routers to efficiently update their routing tables and make informed forwarding decisions based on the received information.Rate this question:

- A.
Passive-interface fastethernet 0/0
- B.
Passive-interface serial 0/0/0
- C.
Access-class 12 out
- D.
Access-class 12 in
Correct Answer
B. Passive-interface serial 0/0/0Explanation
The "passive-interface serial 0/0/0" command can be used on router B to prevent RIP from sending updates to router A. This command puts the specified interface into passive mode, which means that it will not send any routing updates. In this case, by using the command on the serial 0/0/0 interface, router B will stop sending RIP updates to router A.Rate this question:

What is the purpose of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)?
- A.
Prevents Layer 2 loops
- B.
Prevents routing loops on a router
- C.
Creates smaller collision domains
- D.
Creates smaller broadcast domains
- E.
Allows Cisco devices to exchange routing table updates
Correct Answer
A. Prevents Layer 2 loopsExplanation
The purpose of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is to prevent Layer 2 loops. Layer 2 loops can occur in a network when there are redundant links between switches, causing broadcast storms and network congestion. STP identifies and blocks redundant paths in the network, allowing for a single active path while keeping the other paths in a standby mode. This ensures that there is no looping of Ethernet frames, maintaining network stability and preventing disruptions.Rate this question:

Which statement is true regarding states of the IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol?
- A.
Ports are manually configured to be in the forwarding state.
- B.
Ports listen and learn before going into the forwarding state.
- C.
Ports must be blocked before they can be placed in the disabled state.
- D.
It takes 15 seconds for a port to go from blocking to forwarding.
Correct Answer
B. Ports listen and learn before going into the forwarding state.Explanation
Ports listen and learn before going into the forwarding state is a true statement regarding the states of the IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol. In the Spanning Tree Protocol, ports initially start in the blocking state, where they do not forward any traffic. They then transition to the listening state, where they start to receive and process BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data Units) to determine the network topology. After that, they enter the learning state, where they populate their MAC address tables. Finally, they move to the forwarding state, where they actively forward data packets.Rate this question:

Assuming a subnet mask of 255.255.224.0, which three addresses would be valid host addresses? (Choose three.)
- A.
10.78.103.0
- B.
10.67.32.0
- C.
10.78.160.0
- D.
10.178.48.0
- E.
172.55.96.0
- F.
172.2.11.100.0
Correct Answer(s)
A. 10.78.103.0
D. 10.178.48.0
F. 172.2.11.100.0Explanation
In order to determine which addresses are valid host addresses, we need to consider the subnet mask.
A subnet mask of 255.255.224.0 means that the first 19 bits of the IP address are the network address, and the remaining 13 bits are available for host addresses.
Out of the given addresses, the three that have valid host addresses are:
- 10.78.103.0 (within the same network range)
- 10.178.48.0 (within the same network range)
- 172.2.11.100.0 (within the same network range)
The other addresses either fall outside of the network range or have an invalid format.Rate this question:

- A.
RT_1(config)# trunk encapsulation dot1q
- B.
RT_1(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 10
- C.
RT_1(config-subif)# encapsulation negotiate
- D.
RT_1(config-subif)# encapsulation 802.1q
- E.
RT_1(config)# vlan encapsulation dot1q
Correct Answer
B. RT_1(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 10Explanation
The correct answer is "RT_1(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 10". This command is used to configure the VLAN encapsulation on the router interface Fa 0/1. The "encapsulation dot1q" command is used to specify the VLAN encapsulation method, and the "10" parameter specifies the VLAN ID.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. Computer A is configured with an IP address of 192.168.20.5 and cannot ping RT_1. What is most likely the problem?
- A.
SW_1 FastEthernet interface 0/24 is not a trunk port.
- B.
The RT_1 FastEthernet 0/1.10 is not configured for VLANs.
- C.
The FastEthernet port 0/1 on SW_1 is configured for VLAN 20.
- D.
The management VLAN does not have an IP address assigned to the same VLAN.
- E.
The IP address of computer A is incorrect.
Correct Answer
E. The IP address of computer A is incorrect.Explanation
The most likely problem is that the IP address of computer A is incorrect. Since computer A cannot ping RT_1, it suggests that there is an issue with its IP configuration. The other options, such as the trunk port, VLAN configuration, and management VLAN, do not directly affect the ability to ping RT_1. Therefore, the incorrect IP address is the most probable cause of the problem.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. Based on the exhibited configuration and output, why is VLAN 99 missing?
- A.
Because there is a cabling problem on VLAN 99
- B.
Because VLAN 99 is not a valid management VLAN
- C.
Because VLAN 1 is up and there can only be one management VLAN on the switch
- D.
Because VLAN 99 needs to be entered as a VLAN under an interface before it can become an active interface
- E.
Because the VLAN 99 has not been manually entered into the VLAN database with the vlan 99 command
Correct Answer
E. Because the VLAN 99 has not been manually entered into the VLAN database with the vlan 99 commandExplanation
The VLAN 99 is missing because it has not been manually entered into the VLAN database with the vlan 99 command. This means that the switch is not recognizing VLAN 99 as a valid VLAN and therefore it is not being displayed in the configuration and output.Rate this question:

What type of IP address is 172.16.134.48/27?
- A.
A useable host address
- B.
A broadcast address
- C.
A network address
- D.
A multicast address
- E.
A public address
Correct Answer
A. A useable host addressExplanation
The IP address 172.16.134.48/27 is a usable host address because it falls within the range of IP addresses that can be assigned to devices on a network. The "/27" indicates that the first 27 bits of the IP address are used to identify the network, leaving 5 bits for host addresses. Since the host address in this case is 48, it falls within the range of usable host addresses on the network.Rate this question:

Host C
- C.
Host D
- D.
Host E
- E.
Host F
- F.
Host G
Correct Answer(s)
B. Host C
C. Host D
E. Host FExplanation
Host A will send ARP requests to hosts C, D, and F because they are connected to the same VLAN as host A. When host A needs to communicate with hosts on the same VLAN, it sends out an ARP request to discover their MAC addresses. Hosts B, E, and G are not on the same VLAN as host A, so they will not receive ARP requests from host A.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. All ports on switch fl-1 are in the Production VLAN and all ports on switch fl-2 are in the Development VLAN. How many broadcast domains and how many collision domains are in the network? (Choose two.)
- A.
One broadcast domain
- B.
Three broadcast domains
- C.
Three collision domains
- D.
Five broadcast domains
- E.
Nine collision domains
- F.
Ten collision domains
Correct Answer(s)
B. Three broadcast domains
E. Nine collision domainsExplanation
The network consists of two switches, fl-1 and fl-2, each with all ports in a separate VLAN. Each VLAN represents a separate broadcast domain, so there are three broadcast domains in total. Since each switch is considered a separate collision domain, and there are three switches in total, there are nine collision domains in the network.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit and the following error message from the SwA switch. 00:22:43: %SPANTREE-7-RECV_1Q_NON_TRUNK: Received 802.1Q BPDU on non trunk FastEthernet0/1 VLAN1. 00:22:43: %SPANTREE-7-BLOCK_PORT_TYPE: Blocking FastEthernet0/1 on VLAN0001. Inconsistent port type. Considering that the link between the two switches is good and the correct type, what could cause this error message?
- A.
The Spanning Tree Protocol has been disabled on one switch.
- B.
The Spanning Tree Protocol has been disabled on both switches.
- C.
The IEEE 802.1Q trunking port has a speed mismatch on one of the switches.
- D.
The SwA port is configured as a trunk port and the SwB port is configured as an access port.
- E.
The SwA port has IEEE 802.1Q trunking enabled and the SwB port has ISL trunking enabled.
Correct Answer
D. The SwA port is configured as a trunk port and the SwB port is configured as an access port.Explanation
The error message indicates that a BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) was received on a non-trunk port (FastEthernet0/1) in VLAN1. This suggests that the SwA port is configured as a trunk port, which is expected to receive BPDU messages, while the SwB port is configured as an access port, which should not be receiving BPDU messages. This inconsistency in port configuration is causing the error message to be generated.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. VLAN10 and VLAN20 have been created on SW_1 and SW_2 and switch ports have been assigned to the appropriate VLAN. Workstations in VLAN 10 can ping workstations in VLAN 10 that connect to either switch, but workstations in VLAN 20 cannot ping workstations in VLAN 20 on the opposite switch. Based on the output, what is most likely the problem?
- A.
FA 0/1 on SW_1 needs to be assigned to VLAN 20.
- B.
FA 0/1 on SW_2 needs to be assigned to VLAN 20
- C.
VTP is not working properly between SW_1 and SW_2.
- D.
Interfaces FA0/1 on SW_1 and SW_2 need to be configured as trunk ports.
- E.
Interfaces FA0/3 on both switches need to be configured as access ports.
Correct Answer
D. Interfaces FA0/1 on SW_1 and SW_2 need to be configured as trunk ports.Explanation
The problem is most likely that interfaces FA0/1 on SW_1 and SW_2 need to be configured as trunk ports. Trunk ports are used to carry traffic for multiple VLANs, allowing VLAN 20 traffic to pass between the switches. Since workstations in VLAN 20 cannot ping workstations in VLAN 20 on the opposite switch, it suggests that the VLAN 20 traffic is not being properly forwarded between the switches. Configuring the interfaces as trunk ports will enable the switches to pass traffic for multiple VLANs.Rate this question:

A Catalyst switch must be in which VTP mode in order to delete or add VLANs to a management domain?
- A.
Client
- B.
Server
- C.
Domain
- D.
Transparent
- E.
Designated
Correct Answer
B. ServerExplanation
In order to delete or add VLANs to a management domain in a Catalyst switch, it must be in the "server" VTP mode. The server mode allows the switch to create, modify, and delete VLAN information and propagate it to other switches in the same VTP domain. By being in server mode, the switch can actively participate in the VTP domain and make changes to the VLAN configuration.Rate this question:

What creates a loop-free path through a switch network?
- A.
Hold-down timers
- B.
Poison reverse
- C.
Spanning Tree Protocol
- D.
Time to Live
- E.
Split Horizon Protocol
- F.
Routing Information Protocol
Correct Answer
C. Spanning Tree ProtocolExplanation
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) creates a loop-free path through a switch network. It is a network protocol that prevents loops in Ethernet networks by selectively blocking certain redundant links. STP calculates the shortest path to the root bridge and disables all other paths, ensuring that there is only one active path between any two network devices. This prevents broadcast storms and ensures a stable and efficient network topology.Rate this question:

Which three factors contribute to congestion on an Ethernet LAN? (Choose three.)
- A.
Improper placement of enterprise level servers
- B.
Addition of hosts to a physical segment
- C.
Replacement of hubs with workgroup switches
- D.
Increasing use of bandwidth intensive network applications
- E.
Creation of new collision domains without first adding network hosts
- F.
Migration to full-duplex Ethernet within the LAN
Correct Answer(s)
A. Improper placement of enterprise level servers
B. Addition of hosts to a physical segment
D. Increasing use of bandwidth intensive network applicationsExplanation
The three factors that contribute to congestion on an Ethernet LAN are improper placement of enterprise level servers, addition of hosts to a physical segment, and increasing use of bandwidth intensive network applications. Improper placement of servers can lead to bottlenecks and congestion if they are not strategically positioned. Adding more hosts to a physical segment can increase the traffic and cause congestion. Similarly, as the use of bandwidth intensive network applications increases, it can consume more network resources and lead to congestion.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. Two VLANs have been configured on the switch and hosts have been assigned. Hosts in the Sales VLAN can ping all hosts in their own VLAN, but cannot ping the hosts in the HR VLAN. What are two explanations for this problem? (Choose two.)
- A.
All hosts are in one collision domain
- B.
All hosts are in one broadcast domain.
- C.
A router is required for communication between VLANs.
- D.
The hosts are in separate broadcast domains.
- E.
The management VLAN has not been assigned an IP address.
Correct Answer(s)
C. A router is required for communication between VLANs.
D. The hosts are in separate broadcast domains.Explanation
The first explanation for this problem is that a router is required for communication between VLANs. VLANs are logically separate networks, and without a router to connect them, communication between VLANs is not possible.
The second explanation is that the hosts are in separate broadcast domains. Each VLAN has its own broadcast domain, and hosts within a VLAN can communicate with each other using broadcast messages. However, hosts in one VLAN cannot directly communicate with hosts in another VLAN using broadcast messages.Rate this question:

. Which industry-wide specification was developed to decrease the time that is needed to move to the forwarding state by switch ports that are operating in a redundantly switched topology?
- A.
Vlsm
- B.
Pvst
- C.
802.1Q
- D.
Rstp
- E.
Vtp
Correct Answer
D. RstpExplanation
RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) is an industry-wide specification developed to decrease the time required for switch ports operating in a redundantly switched topology to transition to the forwarding state. RSTP improves the convergence time of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) by reducing the amount of time it takes for a switch port to transition from the blocking state to the forwarding state. This allows for faster network convergence and improved network performance in redundant switch topologies.Rate this question:
