1. Which routing protocol maintains a topology table separate from the routing table?

Explanation

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) maintains a topology table separate from the routing table. The topology table contains detailed information about all available routes in the network, including metrics such as bandwidth, delay, reliability, and load. This separate table allows EIGRP to calculate the best path to a destination based on these metrics and update the routing table accordingly. By keeping the topology table separate, EIGRP can make more efficient and informed routing decisions, leading to improved network performance.

2. Which statement is true about the metrics used by routing protocols?

Explanation

Routing protocols use metrics to determine the best path to forward network traffic. A metric is a value assigned to each path, which is used to compare the different paths to remote networks. This allows the router to select the most optimal path based on factors such as bandwidth, delay, reliability, or cost. Each routing protocol may use its own specific metric calculation algorithm, allowing for flexibility and customization. Therefore, the statement "A metric is a value used by a particular routing protocol to compare paths to remote networks" is true.

Submit
3. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is accessing router R1 from the console port. Once the administrator is connected to the router, which password should the administrator enter at the R1> prompt to access the privileged EXEC mode?

Explanation

The correct password that the administrator should enter at the R1> prompt to access the privileged EXEC mode is Cisco789.

Submit
4. Refer to the exhibit. Two routers are unable to establish an adjacency. What is the possible cause for this?

Explanation

The possible cause for the two routers being unable to establish an adjacency is that the hello and dead intervals are different on the two routers. In OSPF, routers use hello packets to discover and establish adjacencies with neighboring routers. The hello interval determines how often hello packets are sent, while the dead interval determines how long a router waits to declare a neighbor as unreachable. If the hello and dead intervals are different on the two routers, they will not be able to synchronize and establish an adjacency.

Submit
5. A router has learned two equal cost paths to a remote network via the EIGRP and RIP protocols. Both protocols are using their default configurations. Which path to the remote network will be installed in the routing table?

Explanation

When a router learns multiple paths to a remote network with equal cost, it will choose the path learned via the routing protocol with the lowest administrative distance. In this case, EIGRP has a lower administrative distance than RIP, so the path learned via EIGRP will be installed in the routing table.

Submit
6. How does route poisoning prevent routing loops?

Explanation

Failed routes are advertised with a metric of infinity. This prevents routing loops by informing other routers that the route is no longer available and should not be used for forwarding packets. By assigning a metric of infinity to the failed route, it becomes an unattractive option for routing, ensuring that packets do not get trapped in a loop and preventing unnecessary traffic congestion.

Submit
7. A router boots and enters setup mode. What is the reason for this?

Explanation

The reason for the router booting and entering setup mode is that the configuration file is missing from NVRAM. Setup mode allows the user to manually configure the router from scratch, including setting up basic parameters such as hostname, IP address, and passwords. In this case, the router cannot find the configuration file in the non-volatile RAM (NVRAM), which stores the startup configuration. Without the configuration file, the router cannot load the necessary settings and defaults to setup mode for the user to manually configure it.

Submit
8. Refer to the exhibit. The 10.4.0.0 network fails. What mechanism prevents R2 from receiving false update information regarding the 10.4.0.0 network?

Explanation

Split horizon is a mechanism that prevents a router from advertising a route back onto the interface from which it was learned. In this scenario, R2 is prevented from receiving false update information about the 10.4.0.0 network because split horizon ensures that R2 does not receive updates about this network from R1, which is connected to the same interface. This mechanism helps to avoid routing loops and ensures more efficient routing in the network.

Submit
9. Refer to the exhibit. A router learns a route to the 192.168.6.0 network, as shown in the output of the show ip rip database command. However, upon running the show ip route command, the network administrator sees that the router has installed a different route to the 192.168.6.0 network learned via EIGRP. What could be the reason for the missing RIP route?

Explanation

The reason for the missing RIP route could be that EIGRP has a lower administrative distance compared to RIP. Administrative distance is a measure of the trustworthiness of a routing protocol, where a lower value indicates a higher priority. In this case, the router has chosen to install the route learned via EIGRP because it considers EIGRP to be more reliable and trustworthy than RIP. Therefore, it prioritizes the EIGRP route over the RIP route in its routing table.

Submit
10. A network is configured with the IP, IPX, and AppleTalk protocols. Which routing protocol is recommended for this network?

Explanation

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) is recommended for a network configured with IP, IPX, and AppleTalk protocols. EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary routing protocol that supports multiple network layer protocols, including IP, IPX, and AppleTalk. It provides fast convergence, scalability, and efficient use of bandwidth. RIPv1 and RIPv2 are distance vector routing protocols that do not support multiple network layer protocols. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a link-state routing protocol designed for IP networks only. Therefore, EIGRP is the best choice for this network configuration.

Submit
11. Refer to the exhibit. All routers are running RIPv1. The two networks 10.1.1.0/29 and 10.1.1.16/29 are unable to access each other. What can be the cause of this problem?

Explanation

RIPv1 does not support discontiguous networks. This means that if there are multiple networks that are not directly connected, RIPv1 will not be able to route traffic between them. In this scenario, the two networks 10.1.1.0/29 and 10.1.1.16/29 are not directly connected, so RIPv1 will not be able to establish a route between them. This is the likely cause of the problem where the two networks are unable to access each other.

Submit
12. Refer to the exhibit. Both routers are using the RIP protocol. Devices on the 192.168.1.1 network can ping the S0/0/0 interface on R2 but cannot ping devices on the 192.168.2.1 network. What is a possible cause of this problem?

Explanation

The possible cause of the problem is that the routers are configured with different versions of RIP. The RIP protocol uses version numbers to ensure compatibility between routers. If the routers are configured with different versions, they may not be able to communicate properly and exchange routing information. This can result in devices on the 192.168.1.1 network being able to ping the S0/0/0 interface on R2, but not being able to ping devices on the 192.168.2.1 network.

Submit
13. What two routing protocols use a hierarchal network topology? (Choose two.)

Explanation

IS-IS and OSPF are two routing protocols that use a hierarchical network topology. These protocols divide the network into multiple levels or areas, allowing for efficient routing and scalability. In a hierarchical topology, routers are organized into different levels or areas, with each level having its own set of routers and a designated hierarchy. This hierarchical structure helps in reducing the complexity of routing tables and improving the overall efficiency of the network. Both IS-IS and OSPF are widely used in large enterprise networks and internet service provider networks due to their ability to handle complex network topologies effectively.

Submit
14. A network administrator needs to assign the very last usable IP address in the 172.24.64.0/18 network range to the router interface that serves this LAN. Which IP address should the administrator configure on the interface?

Explanation

The given network range is 172.24.64.0/18, which means that the subnet mask is 18 bits long. This allows for a total of 2^18 - 2 = 16382 usable IP addresses. The last usable IP address in this range would be the highest IP address within the subnet. In this case, the highest IP address would be 172.24.127.254/18, as it falls within the subnet and is the last usable IP address.

Submit
15. Refer to the exhibit. Which summarization should R1 use to advertise its networks to R2?

Explanation

R1 should use the summarization 192.168.0.0/22 to advertise its networks to R2. This is because the /22 prefix length includes both the 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 networks. By using this summarization, R1 can advertise a single route to R2 that covers both of its networks, reducing the number of routes in R2's routing table.

Submit
16. Which two router component and operation pair are correctly described? (Choose two.)

Explanation

NVRAM stores the configuration file in a router, allowing the router to retain its configuration even after a power cycle. POST (Power-On Self Test) is a process that runs diagnostics on the hardware modules during the boot-up process to ensure they are functioning properly.

Submit
17. Which router component is used to store the routing table?

Explanation

SDRAM stands for Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, and it is a type of computer memory that is used to store data temporarily. In the case of a router, SDRAM is used to store the routing table, which contains information about the various routes that the router can use to forward network traffic. The routing table is a crucial component of a router's operation, as it determines the most efficient path for data packets to travel through a network. Therefore, SDRAM plays a vital role in the functioning of a router by storing this important data.

Submit
18. What command would the network administrator apply to a router that is running OSPF to advertise the entire range of addresses included in 172.16.0.0/19 in area 0?

Explanation

The correct answer is "R1(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0 0.0.31.255 area 0". This command is used to advertise the entire range of addresses included in the subnet 172.16.0.0/19 in OSPF area 0. The wildcard mask 0.0.31.255 is used to specify the range of addresses to be advertised, which includes all addresses from 172.16.0.0 to 172.16.31.255.

Submit
19.  In a lab test environment, a router has learned about network 172.16.1.0 through four different dynamic routing processes. Which route will be used to reach this network?

Explanation

The route that will be used to reach network 172.16.1.0 is the one with the lowest administrative distance. In this case, the route with the lowest administrative distance is "D 172.16.1.0/24 [90/2195456] via 192.168.200.1, 00:00:09, Serial0/0/0". The "D" indicates that this route was learned through EIGRP, and the administrative distance of EIGRP is lower than the other routing processes (such as OSPF, RIP, or BGP) that may have advertised the same network. Therefore, this route will be chosen to reach network 172.16.1.0.

Submit
20. Refer to the exhibit. Both routers are using the RIPv2 routing protocol and static routes are undefined. R1 can ping 192.168.2.1 and 10.1.1.2, but is unable to ping 192.168.4.1.What is the reason for the ping failure?

Explanation

The reason for the ping failure is that the 192.168.4.0 network is not included in the RIP configuration of R2. This means that R2 is not advertising the route to 192.168.4.1 to R1, causing the ping to fail.

Submit
21. What is the function of the OSPF LSR packet?

Explanation

The OSPF LSR (Link State Request) packet is used by receiving routers to request more information about any entry in the DBD (Database Description). This packet is sent when a receiving router wants more detailed information about a specific entry in the database. It helps in the synchronization and exchange of link state information between OSPF routers.

Submit
22. Refer to the exhibit. R1 and R2 are unable to establish an adjacency. What two configuration changes will correct the problem? (Choose two.)

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
23. Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is adding a new subnet of 50 hosts to R3. Which subnet address should be used for the new subnet that provides enough addresses while wasting a minimum of addresses?

Explanation

The subnet 192.168.1.64/26 should be used for the new subnet. This subnet provides enough addresses for 62 hosts (64 addresses in total) while wasting a minimum of addresses. The other subnets have fewer available addresses or waste more addresses.

Submit
24. When a router boots, what is the default order to locate the Cisco IOS if there is no boot system command?

Explanation

When a router boots, it first checks the flash memory to locate the Cisco IOS image. If it is not found in the flash memory, the router then tries to locate the IOS image from a TFTP server. If the IOS image is still not found, the router finally looks for it in the ROM. Therefore, the correct order to locate the Cisco IOS if there is no boot system command is flash, TFTP server, ROM.

Submit
25. Refer to the exhibit. All routers are properly configured to use the EIGRP routing protocol with default settings, and the network is fully converged. Which statement correctly describes the path that the traffic will use from the 10.1.1.0/24 network to the 10.1.2.0/24 network?

Explanation

The given exhibit shows a network with multiple routers configured with EIGRP routing protocol. Since the network is fully converged, the traffic from the 10.1.1.0/24 network to the 10.1.2.0/24 network will be load-balanced between the paths A-B-D and A-C-D. This means that the traffic will be evenly distributed between these two paths, allowing for efficient utilization of network resources and improved performance.

Submit
26. Refer to the exhibit. The hosts that are connected to R2 are unable to ping the hosts that are connected to R1. How can this problem be resolved?

Explanation

To resolve the issue of hosts connected to R2 being unable to ping the hosts connected to R1, the problem can be resolved by configuring the R2 router interfaces for area 0. This suggests that the routers are using OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) as the routing protocol, and by configuring the R2 router interfaces for area 0, they will be able to establish communication and exchange routing information with the routers in area 0 (which includes R1). This will enable the hosts connected to R2 to successfully ping the hosts connected to R1.

Submit
27. A router has EIGRP configured as the only routing protocol. In what way might EIGRP respond if there is no feasible successor route to a destination network and the successor route fails?

Explanation

When there is no feasible successor route to a destination network and the successor route fails, EIGRP will send queries to adjacent neighbors until a new successor route is found. This is because EIGRP uses the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL) to find loop-free paths, and when a route fails, it initiates a query process to find an alternative route. The queries are sent to adjacent neighbors, and if a neighbor has a feasible successor route, it will reply with the route information. This process continues until a new successor route is discovered.

Submit
28. Refer to the exhibit. What information can be determined from the highlighted output?

Explanation

The highlighted output indicates that automatic summarization is disabled. This means that the router is not automatically summarizing routes at network boundaries. Instead, it is advertising the specific routes.

Submit
29. Refer to the exhibit. Routers R1 and R3 use different routing protocols with default administrative distance values. All devices are properly configured and the destination network is advertised by both protocols.

Explanation

The packets will travel via R2-R1 because the exhibit states that R1 and R3 use different routing protocols with default administrative distance values. This means that R1 will have a lower administrative distance than R3, making it the preferred path for routing the packets.

Submit
30. Which two components are used to determine the router ID in the configuration of the OSPF routing process? (Choose two.)

Explanation

The router ID in the configuration of the OSPF routing process is determined by the highest IP address of any logical interface and the highest IP address of any physical interface. The router ID is a unique identifier assigned to each router in an OSPF network and is used to identify the router within the OSPF domain. By selecting the highest IP address of any logical interface and the highest IP address of any physical interface, it ensures that the router ID is unique and consistent across the network.

Submit
31. Refer to the exhibit. All router interfaces are configured with an IP address and are operational. If no routing protocols or static routes are configured, what information will be included in the show ip route command output for router A?

Explanation

If no routing protocols or static routes are configured, the only routes that will be included in the show ip route command output for router A are the directly connected networks. In this case, the router interfaces are configured with IP addresses in the 192.168.x.0 range, so the routes to networks 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, and 192.168.3.0/24 will be in the routing table. Other networks outside of this range will not be included in the routing table.

Submit
32. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has enabled RIP on routers B and C in the network diagram. Which of the following commands will prevent RIP updates from being sent to Router A?

Explanation

The command "B(config)# router rip B(config-router)# passive-interface S0/0" will prevent RIP updates from being sent to Router A by configuring the interface S0/0 as passive. A passive interface does not send or receive routing updates. Therefore, by configuring S0/0 as passive, RIP updates will not be sent from Router B to Router A.

Submit
33. Refer to the exhibit. Which router is advertising subnet 172.16.1.32/28?

Explanation

The correct answer is Router4 because it is the only router that is advertising the subnet 172.16.1.32/28. The other routers are not mentioned in the exhibit, so we cannot determine if they are advertising this subnet or not.

Submit
34. All routers in a network are configured in a single OSPF area with the same priority value. No loopback interface has been set on any of the routers. Which secondary value will the routers use to determine the router ID?

Explanation

The router ID is a unique identifier used by routers in OSPF to identify themselves. In this scenario, since no loopback interface has been set on any of the routers, the routers will use the highest IP address among the active interfaces to determine the router ID. This means that the router with the highest IP address among its active interfaces will be chosen as the router ID.

Submit
35.  Refer to the exhibit. A ping between the serial interfaces of R1 and R2 is successful, but a ping between their FastEthernet interfaces fails. What is the reason for this problem?

Explanation

The reason for the problem is that one of the default routes is configured incorrectly. This means that the routing table on either R1 or R2 has a default route pointing to an incorrect next hop or destination. As a result, when the ping is sent from the FastEthernet interface, the router does not know where to send the traffic and the ping fails. However, when the ping is sent between the serial interfaces, the correct routes are used and the ping is successful.

Submit
36. Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator is planning IP addressing of a new network. What part of this addressing scheme must be changed to allow communication between host A and the server?

Explanation

To allow communication between host A and the server, the IP address of the server must be changed. The IP address is the unique identifier of a device on a network, and in order for host A to communicate with the server, they must be on the same network and have compatible IP addresses. By changing the IP address of the server, it can be placed on the same network as host A, enabling communication between them.

Submit
37. What are two tasks that must be completed before two routers can use OSPF to form a neighbor adjacency? (Choose two.)

Explanation

Before two routers can use OSPF to form a neighbor adjacency, they must agree on the network type. This is important because OSPF supports different network types such as point-to-point, broadcast, and non-broadcast multi-access, and the routers need to have the same understanding of the network type in order to establish a neighbor relationship. Additionally, the routers must use the same dead interval, which is the amount of time that a router waits before declaring a neighboring router as dead. Having the same dead interval ensures that both routers have the same timing for detecting and responding to router failures.

Submit
38. Refer to the exhibit. Given the topology shown in the exhibit, what three commands are needed to configure EIGRP on the Paris router? (Choose three.)

Explanation

The correct answer is Paris(config)# router eigrp 100, Paris(config-router)# network 192.168.7.0, Paris(config-router)# network 192.168.8.0.

To configure EIGRP on the Paris router, the first command "Paris(config)# router eigrp 100" is used to enter the EIGRP configuration mode and specify the autonomous system number as 100.

The next two commands "Paris(config-router)# network 192.168.7.0" and "Paris(config-router)# network 192.168.8.0" are used to specify the network addresses that should participate in EIGRP routing. These commands enable EIGRP on the interfaces associated with the specified network addresses.

Submit
39. Refer to the exhibit. The network has three connected routers: R1, R2, and R3. The routes of all three routers are displayed. All routers are operational and pings are not blocked on this network. Which ping will fail?

Explanation

The ping from R1 to 192.168.3.1 will fail because there is no route to reach that destination in R1's routing table.

Submit
40. What are two functions of a router? (Choose two.)

Explanation

A router has two main functions. Firstly, it forwards data packets towards their destination by examining the destination IP address and using routing tables to determine the best path for the packets to take. Secondly, it acts as an intersection between multiple IP networks by connecting different networks and allowing them to communicate with each other.

Submit
41. Refer to the exhibit. How many routes are ultimate routes?

Explanation

The exhibit is not provided, so it is difficult to determine the exact context of the question. However, based on the given options, the correct answer is 5. This suggests that there are five ultimate routes in the given scenario.

Submit
42. A network administrator uses the RIP routing protocol to implement routing within an autonomous system. What are two characteristics of this protocol? (Choose two.)

Explanation

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a distance-vector routing protocol that uses the Bellman-Ford algorithm to determine the best path. This algorithm calculates the cost of each route based on the number of hops. RIP also periodically sends complete routing tables to all connected devices, ensuring that all routers have the same information about the network topology. This allows for network convergence and ensures that all routers have consistent routing information.

Submit
43. Refer to the exhibit. Host A is unable to access the Internet. What is the reason for this?

Explanation

The reason host A is unable to access the Internet is because the Fa0/1 interfaces of the two routers are configured for different subnets. This means that there is a mismatch in the network addresses between the routers, causing a connectivity issue for host A.

Submit
44. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator wants to reduce the size of the routing table of R1. Which partial routing table entry in R1 represents the route summary for R2, without including any additional subnets?

Explanation

The correct answer is 10.0.0.0/22 is subnetted, 1 subnets. This entry represents the route summary for R2 because it is the only entry that has a subnet mask of /22, which includes all the subnets of R2 without including any additional subnets. The other entries have different subnet masks and include additional subnets, so they do not represent the route summary for R2.

Submit
45. Refer to the exhibit. What is the meaning of the highlighted value 2?

Explanation

The highlighted value 2 represents the number of hops between R2 and the 192.168.8.0/24 network.

Submit
46. Which two statements are true for link-state routing protocols? (Choose two.)

Explanation

Link-state routing protocols, such as OSPF and IS-IS, allow routers to establish a complete topology of the network by exchanging information about their directly connected links. This enables routers to have a detailed understanding of the network's layout and the status of each link. Additionally, these protocols use the shortest path first algorithm to determine the best path for routing packets. This algorithm calculates the shortest path based on various metrics, such as link cost, bandwidth, and delay. Therefore, the two true statements for link-state routing protocols are that routers can establish a complete network topology and the shortest path first algorithm is used.

Submit
47. Which two statements are true regarding link-state routing protocols? (Choose two.)

Explanation

Link-state routing protocols are aware of the complete network topology, meaning they have a full understanding of all the routers and links in the network. This allows them to make more informed routing decisions based on the current state of the network. Additionally, link-state routing protocols offer rapid convergence times in large networks. This means that when there is a change in the network, such as a link failure, the routing protocol can quickly update its routing tables and adapt to the new network conditions.

Submit
48. Refer to the exhibit. All routers are running the same routing protocol. Based on the exhibit and its displayed commands, which statement is true?

Explanation

Based on the exhibit and its displayed commands, the statement "The link to the ISP will be excluded from the routing protocol process" is true. This can be inferred from the "distribute-list 1 out" command on Router A's interface connecting to the ISP. This command filters the routing updates going out of that interface, effectively excluding the link to the ISP from the routing protocol process.

Submit
49. Refer to the exhibit. R1 knows two routes, Path A and Path B, to the Ethernet network attached to R3. R1 learned Path A to network 10.2.0.0/16 from a static route and Path B to network 10.2.0.0/16 from EIGRP. Which route will R1 install in its routing table?

Explanation

The correct answer is that the route via Path A is installed because the static route has the lowest administrative distance to network 10.2.0.0/16. Administrative distance is a measure of the trustworthiness of a routing protocol, where a lower value indicates a higher level of trust. In this scenario, the static route has a lower administrative distance than the EIGRP route, so it is considered more reliable and will be installed in the routing table.

Submit
50. Refer to the exhibit. Packets destined to which two networks will require the router to perform a recursive lookup? (Choose two.)

Explanation

The router will need to perform a recursive lookup for packets destined to the 10.0.0.0/8 network because it is a classful network address and the router needs to determine the specific subnet within that network. Additionally, the router will need to perform a recursive lookup for packets destined to the 192.168.2.0/24 network because it is a private IP address and the router needs to determine the specific subnet within that network.

Submit
51. Refer to the exhibit. Router R2 is configured properly and all interfaces are functional. Router R1 has been installed recently. Host A is unable to ping host B. 
Which procedure can resolve this problem?

Explanation

The correct answer is to configure a static route on R1 using the IP address of S0/0/0 on R2. This is because the problem is that host A is unable to ping host B, which suggests a connectivity issue between the two routers. By configuring a static route on R1 using the IP address of S0/0/0 on R2, R1 will know how to reach the network connected to R2 and establish the necessary connectivity for host A to ping host B.

Submit
52. Which statement is true about the RIPv1 protocol?

Explanation

RIPv1 is an outdated routing protocol that does not include subnet information in its routing updates. This means that it does not support variable-length subnet masking (VLSM) and can only advertise network prefixes without specifying the subnet mask. This limitation makes RIPv1 less efficient and less flexible compared to modern routing protocols that support classless routing and VLSM.

Submit
53. Which three statements are true regarding the encapsulation and de-encapsulation of packets when traveling through a router? (Choose three.)

Explanation

The first statement is true because the router modifies the TTL (Time to Live) field in the IP header of a packet, decrementing it by one. This is done to prevent packets from circulating indefinitely in the network.

The second statement is true because the router changes the source IP address to the IP address of the exit interface. This is necessary to ensure that the recipient of the packet knows where it originated from.

The third statement is true because the router maintains the same source and destination IP addresses. The purpose of a router is to forward packets between different networks, so it does not change the destination IP address.

The fourth statement is false because the router does not change the source physical address to the physical address of the exit interface. The physical address (MAC address) is used at the data link layer, and it remains the same throughout the packet's journey.

The fifth statement is false because the router does not change the destination IP address to the IP address of the exit interface. The destination IP address remains the same, as it determines where the packet should be delivered.

The sixth statement is false because the router does not send the packet out all other interfaces besides the one it entered on. The router uses its routing table to determine the best path for the packet and forwards it accordingly.

Submit
54. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has configured R1 as shown, and all interfaces are functioning correctly. A ping from R1 to 172.16.1.1 fails. What could be the cause of this problem?

Explanation

The default route is configured incorrectly. This means that R1 does not have a route to forward the packet to the destination network 172.16.1.1. As a result, the ping fails because R1 does not know where to send the packet. To resolve this issue, the network administrator should check the default route configuration on R1 and make sure it is pointing to the correct next-hop or exit interface.

Submit
55. Refer to the exhibit. The show cdp neighbors command was run at R1. Which two facts about the newly detected device can be determined from the output? (Choose two.)

Explanation

From the output of the "show cdp neighbors" command, it can be determined that ABCD is a router that is connected to R1. This is indicated by the fact that ABCD is listed as a neighbor device. Additionally, it can be determined that the device is connected at the Serial0/0/1 interface of R1, as this is the interface mentioned in the output.

Submit
56. Refer to the exhibit. The routers are properly configured using a dynamic routing protocol with default settings, and the network is fully converged. Router A is forwarding data to router E. Which statement is true about the routing path?

Explanation

If the network uses the RIP protocol, router A will determine that all paths have equal cost. This is because RIP uses hop count as its metric, and in this scenario, all paths from router A to router E have the same number of hops. Therefore, router A will consider all paths to be equal and will load balance the traffic across them.

57. Which two statements are correct about the split horizon with poison reverse method of routing loop prevention? (Choose two.)

Explanation

The split horizon with poison reverse method of routing loop prevention assigns a value that represents an infinite metric to the poisoned route. This means that the route is considered unreachable and will not be used for forwarding packets. Additionally, it sends back the poisoned route update to the same interface from where it was received. This helps to inform the neighboring routers about the unreachability of the route and prevents them from using it.

Submit
58. Refer to the exhibit. Which two components are required to complete the configuration? (Choose two.)

Explanation

To complete the configuration, a DTE device and a V.35 cable are required. A DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device is necessary to connect the network to the CSU/DSU device. The V.35 cable is used to establish a connection between the CSU/DSU device and the DTE device.

Submit
59. Refer to the exhibit. Based on the output from the show running-config and debug ip rip commands, what are two of the routes that are added to the routing table of R1? (Choose two.)

Explanation

Based on the output, the two routes that are added to the routing table of R1 are:

1. R 192.168.1.0/24 [120/1] via 172.16.2.1, 00:00:24, Serial0/0/1 - This route indicates that the network 192.168.1.0/24 is reachable via the next hop IP address 172.16.2.1 through the Serial0/0/1 interface.

2. R 192.168.100.0/24 [120/1] via 172.16.1.1, 00:00:24, Serial0/0/0 - This route indicates that the network 192.168.100.0/24 is reachable via the next hop IP address 172.16.1.1 through the Serial0/0/0 interface.

Submit
60. Refer to the exhibit. Routers R1 and R2 are directly connected via their serial interfaces and are both running the EIGRP routing protocol. R1 and R2 can ping the directly connected serial interface of their neighbor, but they cannot form an EIGRP neighbor adjacency.

Explanation

The routers R1 and R2 are directly connected and running the EIGRP routing protocol. However, they are unable to form an EIGRP neighbor adjacency. This issue can be resolved by configuring both routers with the same EIGRP process ID. The EIGRP process ID is used to identify the EIGRP routing process, and routers can only form an adjacency if they have the same process ID configured. Therefore, configuring both routers with the same EIGRP process ID will allow them to form an EIGRP neighbor adjacency.

Submit
61. Refer to the exhibit. Which two statements are true based on the exhibited output? (Choose two.) The administrative distance of EIGRP has been set to 50.

Explanation

The exhibit does not provide any information about the administrative distance of EIGRP, so it is not possible to determine if the administrative distance has been set to 50. However, based on the exhibited output, we can conclude that all routes are stable because there are no reported changes or updates in the output. Additionally, it is stated that the show ip eigrp topology command has been run on R1, which implies that the output is from R1.

Submit
62. Refer to the exhibit. All interfaces are addressed and functioning correctly. The network administrator runs the tracert command on host A. Which two facts could be responsible for the output of this command? (Choose two.)

Explanation

The output of the tracert command on host A suggests that there is no route to the network 192.168.2.0/24 from R1, and there is no route to the network 192.168.1.0/24 from R2. This means that R1 does not have an entry for 192.168.2.0/24 in its routing table, and R2 does not have an entry for 192.168.1.0/24 in its routing table. Therefore, these two facts are responsible for the output of the command.

Submit
63. Which two statements are true about the EIGRP successor route? (Choose two.) It is saved in the topology table for use if the primary route fails.

Explanation

The EIGRP successor route may be backed up by a feasible successor route, which provides a backup path in case the primary route fails. The successor route is also used by EIGRP to forward traffic to the destination, making it an active route in the routing table.

Submit
64. Refer to the exhibit. Which statement is true concerning the routing configuration?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Packets routed to the R2 Fast Ethernet interface require two routing table lookups." This is because the exhibit shows that there are two possible paths to reach the 10.1.1.0/24 network - one through R1 and one through R3. Therefore, when a packet needs to be routed to the R2 Fast Ethernet interface, the router will need to perform two routing table lookups to determine the best path to take.

Submit
65. Refer to the exhibit. What action will R2 take for a packet that is destined for 192.168.2.0?

Explanation

Based on the information provided in the exhibit, R2 is configured with a static route pointing towards R1 for the network 192.168.2.0. Therefore, when R2 receives a packet destined for 192.168.2.0, it will forward the packet to R1.

Submit
66. Refer to the exhibit. The output of the show ip route command for router R1 is displayed. What action will the router take for a packet that is destined for 192.168.1.5?

Explanation

The output of the "show ip route" command shows that there is no specific route for the destination IP address 192.168.1.5. However, there is a default route configured pointing to the interface Serial0/0/0. Therefore, when the router receives a packet destined for 192.168.1.5, it will forward the packet to the default gateway, which is the interface Serial0/0/0.

Submit
67. Refer to the exhibit. Which statement is true about router R2?

Explanation

The routing table content indicates that interface S0/0/0 is administratively down. The exhibit shows that the interface S0/0/0 is flagged as "administratively down" in the routing table. This means that the interface has been manually disabled, either by the network administrator or due to a configuration issue. This prevents any traffic from being sent or received through that interface. Therefore, the statement "The routing table content indicates that interface S0/0/0 is administratively down" is true.

Submit
68. Refer to the exhibit. Which two facts can be derived from this output? (Choose two.)

Explanation

From the given output, we can derive two facts. First, three network devices are directly connected to Router2. Second, the serial interface between Router2 and Router3 is up.

Submit
69. Refer to the exhibit. Although R2 is configured correctly, host A is unable to access the Internet. Which two static routes can be configured on R1 to enable Internet connectivity for host A? (Choose two.)

Explanation

The correct answer is "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Fa0/1" and "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.2". These two static routes can be configured on R1 to enable Internet connectivity for host A. The first static route directs all traffic with any destination IP address to the Fa0/1 interface, which is the interface connecting to the Internet. The second static route directs all traffic with any destination IP address to the next-hop IP address 10.1.1.2, which is the IP address of the next router in the network path towards the Internet.

Submit
70. Refer to the exhibit. Which three statements are true of the routing table for Router1? (Choose three.)

Explanation

The given correct answer states that the AD (Administrative Distance) of EIGRP routes has been manually changed to a value other than the default value. This means that the EIGRP routes have been given a different priority or preference compared to other routing protocols. The answer also mentions that Router1 is running both the EIGRP and OSPF routing processes, indicating that it is using multiple routing protocols simultaneously. Additionally, the answer states that no default route has been configured, meaning that there is no specific route defined for destinations that are not listed in the routing table.

Submit
71. Which three statements describe the operation of routing with EIGRP? (Choose three.)

Explanation

When using EIGRP for routing, three statements describe its operation. First, as new neighbors are discovered, entries are placed in a neighbor table. This table keeps track of neighboring routers and their IP addresses. Second, if hello packets are not received within the hold time, DUAL (Diffusing Update Algorithm) must recalculate the network's topology. This ensures that the routing information remains up to date. Lastly, the reported distance is the distance to a destination as advertised by a neighbor. This information is used by EIGRP to determine the best path for routing.

Submit
72. Refer to the exhibit. R2 is configured correctly. The network administrator has configured R1 as shown. Which two facts can be deduced from the configuration of R1? (Choose two.)

Explanation

From the configuration of R1, we can deduce that R1 will forward the route information for subnet 192.168.100.0/30 because it is directly connected to R1. However, R1 will not forward route information for subnet 192.168.100.4.0/30 because it is not directly connected to R1. The other statements cannot be deduced from the given configuration.

Submit
73. Refer to the exhibit. To implement the RIPv2 protocol, the network administrator runs the commands as displayed. However, the show ip protocol command fails to display any output. How can the administrator solve the problem that is indicated by the lack of output from this command?

Explanation

The lack of output from the "show ip protocol" command indicates that the network administrator has not specified the network for which RIP routing needs to be enabled. By specifying the network using the "network" command followed by the network address and wildcard mask, the administrator can enable RIP routing for that specific network and resolve the problem.

Submit
74. Refer to the exhibit. While trying to diagnose a routing problem in the network, the network administrator runs the debug ip rip command. What can be determined from the output of this command?

Explanation

From the output of the "debug ip rip" command, it can be determined that the router is not originating routes for the 172.16.1.0 network. This means that the router is not advertising or announcing any routes for the 172.16.1.0 network to other routers in the network.
