What eliminates switching loops?
-
Hold-down timers
-
Poison reverse
-
Spanning tree protocol
-
Time to live
-
VTP
Correct Answer
A. Spanning tree protocolExplanation
The spanning tree protocol is designed to prevent switching loops in a network. It accomplishes this by creating a loop-free logical topology and blocking redundant paths. This ensures that there is only one active path between any two network devices, eliminating the possibility of loops. By electing a root bridge and calculating the shortest path to each device, the spanning tree protocol effectively eliminates switching loops and improves network stability.Rate this question:

What is one reason to use the ip ospf priority command when the OSPF routing protocol is in use?
-
To activate the OSPF neighboring process
-
To influence the DR/BDR election process
-
To provide a backdoor for connectivity during the convergence process
-
To streamline and speed up the convergence process
Correct Answer
A. To influence the DR/BDR election processExplanation
The reason to use the "ip ospf priority" command when the OSPF routing protocol is in use is to influence the DR/BDR (Designated Router/Backup Designated Router) election process. The DR and BDR are responsible for maintaining neighbor relationships and exchanging routing information within an OSPF network. By setting a higher priority value for a router, it increases its chances of becoming the DR or BDR, allowing it to have more control and influence over the routing process.Rate this question:

PDU #2 is an application layer PDU
-
PDU #3 is a segment.
-
PDU #4 is a transport layer PDU.
-
The order in which these PDUs are created during the encapsulation process is 3, 4, 1, 2.
Correct Answer(s)
A. PDU #1 is a frame.
A. PDU #3 is a segment.
A. The order in which these PDUs are created during the encapsulation process is 3, 4, 1, 2.Explanation
The given correct answer states that PDU #1 is a frame, PDU #3 is a segment, and the order in which these PDUs are created during the encapsulation process is 3, 4, 1, 2. This means that PDU #1 is created after PDU #3 and PDU #4, and PDU #2 is created last. This is consistent with the encapsulation process in the OSI model, where data is first segmented at the transport layer (PDU #3), then encapsulated into a packet at the network layer (PDU #4), followed by encapsulation into a frame at the data link layer (PDU #1). Finally, at the application layer, the data is encapsulated into a message (PDU #2).Rate this question:

Which two application layer protocols use the UDP protocol? (Choose two.)
-
Telnet
-
SNMP
-
SMTP
-
SQL
-
TFTP
Correct Answer(s)
A. SNMP
A. TFTPExplanation
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) are the two application layer protocols that use the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) protocol. SNMP is used for managing and monitoring network devices, while TFTP is used for simple file transfers. Unlike TCP, UDP is a connectionless protocol that does not provide guaranteed delivery or error checking, making it suitable for applications that prioritize speed over reliability. Telnet, SMTP, and SQL, on the other hand, use TCP for their transport layer protocol.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. Using the most efficient IP addressing scheme and VLSM, which address can be configured on one of the serial interfaces?
-
192.168.16.63/27
-
192.168.16.158/27
-
192.168.16.192/27
-
92.168.16.113/30
-
192.168.16.193/30
Correct Answer
A. 192.168.16.193/30Explanation
The most efficient IP addressing scheme and VLSM allows for the conservation of IP addresses by assigning smaller subnets to networks that require fewer addresses. In this case, the /30 subnet mask allows for only two usable host addresses, which is sufficient for a point-to-point serial interface. Therefore, the address 192.168.16.193/30 can be configured on one of the serial interfaces.Rate this question:

-
Access list number between 1 and 99
-
Access list number between 100 and 199
-
Default gateway address and wildcard mask
-
Destination address and wildcard mask
-
Source address and wildcard mask
Correct Answer(s)
A. Access list number between 100 and 199
A. Destination address and wildcard mask
A. Source address and wildcard maskExplanation
When creating an extended access control list statement, three values or sets of values that are included are: access list number between 100 and 199, destination address and wildcard mask, and source address and wildcard mask. These values are important in specifying the access control rules for filtering network traffic. The access list number between 100 and 199 identifies the specific access control list being created. The destination address and wildcard mask determine the destination IP address range that the access control list will apply to. Similarly, the source address and wildcard mask determine the source IP address range that the access control list will apply to.Rate this question:

A network administrator is configuring a switch when an error message appears. The configuration commands and error message appear as follows: Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 0/1 Switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk Command rejected: An interface whose trunk encapsulation is "Auto" can not be configured to "trunk" mode. What is the problem?
-
The switch port is configured as an access mode port.
-
The switch port does not support trunking on this port.
-
The encapsulation type must be changed to a compatible protocol before the port can be placed in trunk mode.
-
The no switchport trunk encapsulation auto command needs to be applied to the switch port before trunking can be enabled.
Correct Answer
A. The encapsulation type must be changed to a compatible protocol before the port can be placed in trunk mode.Explanation
The error message indicates that the switch port's trunk encapsulation is set to "Auto," which is incompatible with the "trunk" mode. To resolve this issue, the encapsulation type needs to be changed to a compatible protocol before the port can be configured as a trunk port.Rate this question:

A network administrator is evaluating authentication protocols for a PPP link. Which three factors might lead to the selection of CHAP over PAP as the authentication protocol? (Choose three.)
-
Establishes identities with a two-way handshake
-
Uses a three-way authentication periodically during the session to reconfirm identities
-
Control by the remote host of the frequency and timing of login events
-
Transmits login information in encrypted format
-
uses an unpredictable variable challenge value to prevent playback attacks
Correct Answer(s)
A. Uses a three-way authentication periodically during the session to reconfirm identities
A. Transmits login information in encrypted format
A. uses an unpredictable variable challenge value to prevent playback attacksExplanation
The three factors that might lead to the selection of CHAP over PAP as the authentication protocol are:
1) CHAP uses a three-way authentication periodically during the session to reconfirm identities, providing an additional layer of security compared to PAP which only authenticates once at the beginning of the session.
2) CHAP transmits login information in encrypted format, ensuring that the information is protected from unauthorized access.
3) CHAP uses an unpredictable variable challenge value to prevent playback attacks, making it more secure against replay attacks compared to PAP.Rate this question:

-
The default gateway configured on the TFTP server in incorrect.
-
The IP address of the TFTP server is a subnetwork address.
-
The IP address of the S0/0/0 interface of the Heliopolis router is a broadcast address.
-
The IP addresses for the Memphis S0/0/1 interface and the Heliopolis S0/0/0 interface are not in the same subnet.
Correct Answer(s)
A. The default gateway configured on the TFTP server in incorrect.
A. The IP addresses for the Memphis S0/0/1 interface and the Heliopolis S0/0/0 interface are not in the same subnet.Explanation
The network administrator is unable to access the TFTP server because there are two possible causes for the problem. Firstly, the default gateway configured on the TFTP server is incorrect. This means that the server is unable to send and receive traffic properly. Secondly, the IP addresses for the Memphis S0/0/1 interface and the Heliopolis S0/0/0 interface are not in the same subnet. This means that they are on different networks and cannot communicate with each other. Both of these issues can result in the network administrator being unable to access the TFTP server.Rate this question:

What are two features of a link-state routing protocol? (Choose two.)
-
Routers send periodic updates only to neighboring routers.
-
Routers send triggered updates in response to a change.
-
Routers create a topology of the network by using information from other routers.
-
The database information for each router is obtained from the same source.
-
Paths are chosen based on the lowest number of hops to the designated router.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Routers send triggered updates in response to a change.
A. Routers create a topology of the network by using information from other routers.Explanation
Link-state routing protocols have two main features:
1. Routers send triggered updates in response to a change: When a change occurs in the network, such as a link going down or a new link being added, routers using a link-state routing protocol will immediately send updates to inform neighboring routers about the change. This allows the network to quickly adapt to any modifications and maintain an up-to-date view of the network topology.
2. Routers create a topology of the network by using information from other routers: Link-state routing protocols exchange information with other routers to build a complete and accurate map of the network's topology. Each router collects information from its neighboring routers and uses this information to construct a database that represents the entire network. This database is then used to determine the best paths for forwarding packets.Rate this question:
