    Which protocols are found in the network layer of the OSI reference model and are responsible for path determination and traffic switching?

    • A. LAN

    • B. routing

    • C. WAN

    • D. network

    Correct Answer
    A. B. routing
    Explanation
    Routing protocols are responsible for determining the best path for network traffic to reach its destination. They make decisions based on factors such as network congestion, link quality, and available bandwidth. These protocols exchange information with other routers to build a routing table, which is used to direct traffic. Therefore, option B, routing, is the correct answer as it accurately describes the protocols that are responsible for path determination and traffic switching in the network layer of the OSI reference model.

    When you are logged into a switch, which prompt indicates that you are in privileged mode?

    • A. %

    • B. @

    • C. >

    • D. $

    • E. #

    Correct Answer
    A. E. #
    Explanation
    The “#” (like Switch#) indicates you are in privileged mode while the “>” indicates you are in user mode.

    Note: The “#” sign in “Switch(config)#” indicates this is only accessible at privileged EXEC mode. The “(config)#” part indicates we are in configuration mode.

    Below lists popular modes in Cisco switch/router:

    Router> User EXEC mode
    Router# Privileged EXEC mode
    Router(config)# Configuration mode
    Router(config-if)# Interface level (within configuration mode)
    Router(config-router)# Routing engine level (within configuration mode)
    Router(config-line)# Line level (vty, tty, async) within configuration mode

    For which type of connection should a straight-through cable be used?

    • A. switch to switch

    • B. switch to hub

    • C. switch to router

    • D. hub to hub

    • E. router to PC

    Correct Answer
    A. C. switch to router
    Explanation
    To specify when we use crossover cable or straight-through cable, we should remember:

    Group 1: Router, Host, Server
    Group 2: Hub, Switch
    One device in group 1 + One device in group 2: use straight-through cable
    Two devices in the same group: use crossover cable

    In this case we can use straight-through cable to connect a switch to a router -> C is correct.

    Which line from the output of the show ip interface command indicates a layer 1 problem?

    • A. Serial0/1 is up, line protocol is down

    • B. Serial0/1 is down, line protocol is down

    • C. Serial0/1 is up, line protocol is up

    • D. Serial0/1 is administratively down, line protocol is down

    Correct Answer
    A. B. Serial0/1 is down, line protocol is down
    Explanation
    The line "Serial0/1 is down, line protocol is down" indicates a layer 1 problem because it states that the interface is physically down and the line protocol is also down. Layer 1 problems typically involve physical issues such as cable disconnections or hardware failures, which can cause the interface to be down.

    Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator configures a new router and enters the copy startup-config running-config on the router. The network administrator powers down the router and sets it up at a remote location. When the router starts, it enter the system configuration dialog as shown. What is the cause of the problem? — System Configuration Dialog — Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: % Please answer yes’ or ‘no’. Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/ho]: n Would you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes]: Press RETURN to get started!

    • A. The network administrator failed to save the configuration.

    • B. The configuration register is set to 0×2100.

    • C. The boot system flash command is missing from the configuration.

    • D. The configuration register is set to 0×2102.

    • E. The router is configured with the boot system startup command.

    Correct Answer
    A. A. The network administrator failed to save the configuration.
    Explanation
    The “System Configuration Dialog” appears only when no startup configuration file is found. The network administrator has made a mistake because the command “copy startup-config running-config” will copy the startup config (which is empty) over the running config (which is configured by the administrator). So everything configured was deleted.

    Note: We can tell the router to ignore the start-up configuration on the next reload by setting the register to 0×2142. This will make the “System Configuration Dialog” appear at the next reload.

    Which layer of the OSI reference model uses flow control, sequencing, and acknowledgments to ensure that reliable networking occurs?

    • A. data link

    • B. network

    • C. transport

    • D. presentation

    • E. physical

    Correct Answer
    A. C. transport
    Explanation
    The transport layer of the OSI reference model is responsible for ensuring reliable networking by implementing flow control, sequencing, and acknowledgments. Flow control regulates the flow of data between the sender and receiver to prevent overwhelming the receiver. Sequencing ensures that data packets are received and delivered in the correct order. Acknowledgments are used to confirm the successful delivery of data packets and request retransmission if necessary. Therefore, the transport layer is the correct answer for this question.

    • A. to map all the devices on a network.

    • B. to display the current TCP/IP configuration values.

    • C. to see how a device MAC address is mapped to its IP address.

    • D. to see the path a packet will take when traveling to a specified destination.

    • E. to display the MTU values for each router in a specified network path from source to a destination.

    Correct Answer
    A. D. to see the path a packet will take when traveling to a specified destination.
    Explanation
    The purpose of using the traceroute command is to see the path a packet will take when traveling to a specified destination. Traceroute sends out a series of packets with increasing TTL (Time to Live) values, and each router along the path sends back an ICMP Time Exceeded message. By analyzing the source IP addresses of these messages, traceroute can determine the path taken by the packets and display it to the user. This helps in troubleshooting network connectivity issues and identifying any bottlenecks or delays in the network.

    Refer to the exhibit. If number 2 is selected from the setup script, what happens when the user runs setup from a privileged prompt? [0] Go to the IOS command prompt without saving this config. [1] Return back to the setup without saving this config. [2] Save this configuration to nvram and exit. Enter your selection [2]:

    • A. Setup is additive and any changes will be added to the config script.

    • B. Setup effectively starts the configuration over as if the router was booted for the first time.

    • C. Setup will not run if an enable secret password exists on the router.

    • D. Setup will not run, because it is only viable when no configuration exists on the router.

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Setup is additive and any changes will be added to the config script.
    Explanation
    When the user selects option 2 and runs setup from a privileged prompt, the setup process will save the configuration to nvram and exit. This means that any changes made during the setup process will be added to the existing configuration script. This option indicates that the setup is additive and does not start the configuration over from scratch. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

    There are no boot system commands in a router configuration in NVRAM. What is the fallback sequence that router will use to find an IOS during reload?

    • A. Flash, TFTP server, ROM

    • B. Flash, NVRAM, ROM

    • C. ROM, NVRAM, TFTP server

    • D. NVRAM, TFTP server, ROM

    • E. TFTP server, Flash, NVRAM

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Flash, TFTP server, ROM
    Explanation
    When you turn the router on, it runs through the following boot process.

    The Power-On Self Test (POST) checks the router’s hardware. When the POST completes successfully, the System OK LED indicator comes on.
    The router checks the configuration register to identify where to load the IOS image from. A setting of 0×2102 means that the router will use information in the startup-config file to locate the IOS image. If the startup-config file is missing or does not specify a location, it will check the following locations for the IOS image:

    1. Flash (the default location)
    2. TFTP server
    3. ROM (used if no other source is found)

    The router loads the configuration file into RAM (which configures the router). The router can load a configuration file from:

    + NVRAM (startup-configuration file)
    + TFTP server
    If a configuration file is not found, the router starts in setup mode.

    The network administrator normally establishes a Telnet session with the switch from host A. The administrator’s attempt to establish a connect via Telnet to the switch from host B fails, but pings from host B to other two hosts are successful. What is the issue for this problem? - ProProfs

    The network administrator normally establishes a Telnet session with the switch from host A. The administrator’s attempt to establish a connect via Telnet to the switch from host B fails, but pings from host B to other two hosts are successful. What is the issue for this problem?

    • A. Host B and the switch need to be in the same subnet.

    • B. The switch needs an appropriate default gateway assigned.

    • C. The switch interface connected to the router is down.

    • D. Host B need to be assigned an IP address in vlan 1.

    Correct Answer
    A. B. The switch needs an appropriate default gateway assigned.
    Explanation
    Host A (172.19.1.1) and the management IP address of the Switch (172.19.1.250) are in the same subnet so telnet from host A to the switch can be successful even if a default gateway is not set on host A.

    But host B (172.19.32.2) and the management IP address of the Switch (172.19.1.250) are not in the same subnet so host B needs a default gateway to telnet to the switch. The default gateway on host B should be 172.19.32.254.

    Correct Answer
    A. B. They convert domain names into IP address
    Explanation
    For example, when you open a web browser (IE, Firefox…) and type a domain (like google.com). This domain will be sent to a DNS server. The DNS server looks up this domain in its database and sends back a corresponding IP address which you can use to access that website.

    Note: A DNS server can be a dedicated device for DNS service or integrated into a networking device (like router).

    Which two benefits are provided by using a hierarchical addressing network addressing scheme? (Choose two)

    • A. reduces routing table entries

    • B. auto-negotiation of media rates

    • C. efficient utilization of MAC addresses

    • D. dedicated communications between devices

    • E. ease of management and troubleshooting

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A. reduces routing table entries
    A. E. ease of management and troubleshooting
    Explanation
    A hierarchical addressing network addressing scheme provides two benefits. Firstly, it reduces routing table entries, which means that the routing tables in network devices will be smaller and more efficient. This helps in improving the overall performance and scalability of the network. Secondly, it offers ease of management and troubleshooting. With a hierarchical addressing scheme, network administrators can easily organize and manage the network by dividing it into smaller subnets. This makes it simpler to troubleshoot network issues and locate the source of problems.

    A Cisco router is booting and has just completed the POST process.It is now ready to find and load an IOS image. What function does the router perform next?

    • A. It checks the configuration register

    • B. It attempts to boot from a TFTP server

    • C. It loads the first image file in flash memory

    • D. It inspects the configuration file in NVRAM for boot instructions

    Correct Answer
    A. A. It checks the configuration register
    Explanation
    After completing the POST process, a Cisco router will perform the next function by checking the configuration register. The configuration register is a 16-bit value that determines how the router will boot up. It specifies various options such as boot source, console speed, and whether to ignore the startup configuration. By checking the configuration register, the router can determine the boot settings and proceed accordingly.

    • A. The router cannot verify that the Cisco IOS image currently in flash is valid

    • B. Flash memory on Cisco routers can contain only a single IOS image.

    • C. Erasing current flash content is requested during the copy dialog.

    • D. In order for the router to use the new image as the default, it must be the only IOS image in flash.

    Correct Answer
    A. C. Erasing current flash content is requested during the copy dialog.
    Explanation
    During the copy process, the router asked “Erasing flash before copying? [confirm]” and the administrator confirmed (by pressing Enter) so the flash was deleted.

    Note: In this case, the flash has enough space to copy a new IOS without deleting the current one. The current IOS is deleted just because the administrator wants to do so. If the flash does not have enough space you will see an error message like this:

    %Error copying tftp://192.168.2.167/ c1600-k8sy-mz.l23-16a.bin (Not enough space on device)

    Refer to the exhibit. A router boots to the prompt shown in the exhibit. What does this signify, and how should the network administrator respond?  rommon 1>  

    • A. This prompt signifies that the configuration file was not found in NVRAM. The network administrator should follow the prompts to enter a basic configuration.

    • B. The prompt signifies that the configuration file was not found in flash memory. The network administrator should use TFTP to transfer a configuration file to the router.

    • C. The prompt signifies that the IOS image in flash memory is invalid or corrupted. The network administrator should use TFTP to transfer an IOS image to the router.

    • D. The prompt signifies that the router could not authenticate the user. The network administrator should modify the IOS image and reboot the router.

    Correct Answer
    A. C. The prompt signifies that the IOS image in flash memory is invalid or corrupted. The network administrator should use TFTP to transfer an IOS image to the router.
    Explanation
    If a Cisco router boots in ROMmon mode, it means:

    + The value of the configuration register is set to XXX0 (the boot field – fourth bit – is 0)
    + The router is unable to locate a valid Cisco IOS software image (you can use the “dir flash:” command in ROMmon mode to look for the IOS in the Flash then try to boot that flash with the “boot flash:” command).

    If the IOS image is invalid or corrupted, the fastest way to re-install a new Cisco IOS software image on the router is to copy a new one from TFTP (with “tftpdnld” command).

    What are two characteristics of Telnet? (Choose two)

    • A. It sends data in clear text format.

    • B. It is no longer supported on Cisco network devices.

    • C. It is more secure than SSH.

    • D. It requires an enterprise license in order to be implemented.

    • E. It requires that the destination device be configured to support Telnet connections.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A. It sends data in clear text format.
    A. E. It requires that the destination device be configured to support Telnet connections.
    Explanation
    Telnet, part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, is a virtual terminal protocol that allows you to make connections to remote devices, gather information, and run programs. Telnet is considered insecure because it transfers all data in clear text -> A is correct.

    The destination device needs to support Telnet connection. For example, if a device doesn’t support TCP/IP protocol suit then maybe we can’t telnet to it.

    Refer to the exhibit. Why would the network administrator configure RA in this manner? - ProProfs

    Refer to the exhibit. Why would the network administrator configure RA in this manner?

    • A. to give students access to the Internet

    • B. to prevent students from accessing the command prompt of RA

    • C. to prevent administrators from accessing the console of RA

    • D. to give administrators access to the Internet

    • E. to prevent students from accessing the Internet

    • F. to prevent students from accessing the Admin network

    Correct Answer
    A. B. to prevent students from accessing the command prompt of RA
    Explanation
    Although the access-list is used to “permit” network 10.1.1.0/24 but the best answer here is “to prevent students from accessing the command prompt of RA”. From the picture above, we know that 10.1.1.0/24 is the “Admin” network. This access list is applied to “line vty 0 4″ so it will permit only Telnet traffic from “Admin” to RA while drop all other traffic (because of the implicit “deny all” command at the end of the access list). Therefore we can deduce that it will “prevent students from accessing the command prompt of RA”.

    This access list only filters Telnet traffic (because it is applied to vty line) so it will not prevent or allow anyone to access the Internet -> A, D, E are not correct.

    C is not correct as this access list allows administrators to access the console of RA.

    F is not correct as this access list does not proceed TCP, UDP or IP traffic so the students still access the Admin network.

    (Notice that the “command prompt” here implies telnet as telnet is the only way to remotely access RA)

    A network administrator changes the configuration register to 0×2142 and reboots the router. What are two results of making this change? (Choose two)

    • A. The IOS image will be ignored.

    • B. The router will prompt to enter initial configuration mode.

    • C. The router will boot to ROM.

    • D. Any configuration entries in NVRAM will be ignored.

    • E. The configuration in flash memory will be booted.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. B. The router will prompt to enter initial configuration mode.
    A. D. Any configuration entries in NVRAM will be ignored.
    Explanation
    The router bypasses the startup configuration stored in NVRAM during its boot sequence so the router will enter initial configuration mode. This feature is normally used during a password recovery procedure.

    • B. abcd.abcd.b002

    • C. abcd.abcd.c003

    • D. 10.2.0.15

    • E. 10.0.64.1

    • F. 10.0.128.15

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. B. abcd.abcd.b002
    A. D. 10.2.0.15
    Explanation
    When packets are sent from Host A to Host B, the source and destination IP addresses are never changed and they are the IP addresses of Host A & Host B. Only the MAC addresses will be changed to reflect the device of the current network. In this case, when the frame leaves R2 destined for host B. It will have:

    + Source IP: IP of Host A - 10.2.0.15 (never changed)
    + Destination IP: IP of Host B – 10.0.128.15 (never changed)

    Refer to the exhibit. What can be determined from the output?

    • A. 192.168.1.2 is local to the router.

    • B. 192.168.3.1 is local to the router.

    • C. 192.168.1.2 will age out in less than 1 minute.

    • D. 192.168.3.1 has aged out and is marked for deletion.

    Correct Answer
    A. B. 192.168.3.1 is local to the router.
    Explanation
    The “Age” field in the “show ip arp” command is the age in minutes of the cache entry. A hyphen (-) means the address is local so in this case 192.168.1.1 & 192.168.3.1 are local to this router -> B is correct.

    Note: The “Age 0″ means that the address was cached less than 1 minute ago.
