Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator notices that there are too many broadcasts on the network. What two steps can the network administrator take to resolve this problem? (Choose two)
- A.
Replace S2 with a router
- B.
Place all servers on S1
- C.
Disable TCP/IP broadcasts
- D.
Subnet the 192.168.0.0 /24 network
- E.
Disable all unused interfaces on the switches
Correct Answer(s)
A. Replace S2 with a router
D. Subnet the 192.168.0.0 /24 networkExplanation
The network administrator can take two steps to resolve the problem of too many broadcasts on the network. Firstly, they can replace S2 with a router. Routers can help to segment the network into separate broadcast domains, reducing the number of broadcasts that reach all devices on the network. Secondly, they can subnet the 192.168.0.0 /24 network. Subnetting allows for the creation of smaller, more efficient subnetworks, which can help to reduce the number of broadcasts by limiting their reach to specific subnets.Rate this question:

In an IPv4 environment, what information is used by the router to forward data packets from one interface of a router to another?
- A.
Destination network address
- B.
Source network address
- C.
Source MAC address
- D.
Well known port destination address
Correct Answer
A. Destination network addressExplanation
The router uses the destination network address to forward data packets from one interface to another. The destination network address helps the router determine the next hop or the next router to which the packet should be sent in order to reach its intended destination. By examining the destination network address, the router can make forwarding decisions based on its routing table and determine the most appropriate path for the packet to take.Rate this question:

- A.
Source and destination MAC
- B.
Source and destination application protocol
- C.
Source and destination port number
- D.
Source and destination IP address
Correct Answer
D. Source and destination IP addressExplanation
During encapsulation at OSI Layer 3, the source and destination IP addresses are added. This information is crucial for routing and delivering the data packets to their intended destinations in the network. The IP address identifies the source and destination devices in the network and allows routers to forward the packets accordingly. By including the IP addresses, Layer 3 encapsulation ensures that the data is correctly routed and reaches the desired destination.Rate this question:

In a connectionless system, which of the following is correct?
- A.
The destination is contacted before a packet is sent
- B.
The destination is not contacted before a packet is sent
- C.
The destination sends an acknowledgement to the source that indicates the packet was received
- D.
The destination sends an acknowledgement to the source that requests the next packet to be sent
Correct Answer
B. The destination is not contacted before a packet is sentExplanation
In a connectionless system, the destination is not contacted before a packet is sent. In connectionless communication, each packet is treated as an independent unit and does not require establishing a connection or prior communication with the destination. The sender simply sends the packet without any handshaking or acknowledgment from the destination. This approach allows for faster and more efficient transmission of data, but it also means that there is no guarantee of delivery or order of packets.Rate this question:

Which IP packet field will prevent endless loops?
- A.
Type-of-service
- B.
Identification
- C.
Flags
- D.
Time-to-live
- E.
Header checksum
Correct Answer
D. Time-to-liveExplanation
The time-to-live field in an IP packet is used to limit the lifespan of the packet. It specifies the maximum number of hops (routers) that the packet can pass through before it is discarded. This prevents endless loops by ensuring that if a packet gets stuck in a routing loop, it will eventually reach the maximum number of hops and be dropped. Therefore, the time-to-live field helps to prevent packets from circulating indefinitely in the network.Rate this question:

If the default gateway is configured incorrectly on the host, what is the impact on communications?
- A.
The host is unable to communicate on the local network
- B.
The host can communicate with other hosts on the local network, but is unable to communicate with hosts on remote networks
- C.
The host can communicate with other hosts on remote networks, but is unable to communicate with hosts on the local network
- D.
There is no impact on communications
Correct Answer
B. The host can communicate with other hosts on the local network, but is unable to communicate with hosts on remote networksExplanation
If the default gateway is configured incorrectly on the host, it means that the host does not have the correct information about how to reach hosts on remote networks. As a result, the host can still communicate with other hosts on the local network because it does not need to use the default gateway for local communication. However, when it tries to communicate with hosts on remote networks, it will not be able to find the correct path to reach them and therefore will be unable to establish communication.Rate this question:

Physically connects a computer to a network
- B.
Provides a permanent address to a computer
- C.
Identifies the network to which a computer is connected
- D.
identifies the logical address of a networked computer and uniquely identifies it to the rest of the network
- E.
identifies the device that allows local network computers to communicate with devices on other networks
Correct Answer
E. identifies the device that allows local network computers to communicate with devices on other networksExplanation
A default gateway is the device that allows local network computers to communicate with devices on other networks. It acts as an intermediary between the local network and external networks, forwarding network traffic between them. Without a default gateway, computers on a local network would only be able to communicate with other devices on the same network. The default gateway enables communication with devices on different networks by routing the traffic appropriately.Rate this question:

What type of routing uses information that is manually entered into the routing table?
- A.
Dynamic
- B.
Interior
- C.
Static
- D.
Standard
Correct Answer
C. StaticExplanation
Static routing uses information that is manually entered into the routing table. Unlike dynamic routing, which automatically updates the routing table based on network changes, static routing requires the network administrator to manually configure the routes. This can be useful in small networks or in cases where the network topology is stable and changes infrequently. Static routing is less flexible than dynamic routing, but it can be more efficient and secure since it does not rely on periodic updates and is less vulnerable to routing loops or other dynamic routing issues.Rate this question:

What two characteristics are commonly associated with dynamic routing protocols? (Choose two)
- A.
Require no device configuration
- B.
Provide routers with up-to-date routing tables
- C.
Require less processing power than static routes require
- D.
Consume bandwidth to exchange route information
- E.
Prevent manual configuration and maintenance of the routing table
Correct Answer(s)
B. Provide routers with up-to-date routing tables
D. Consume bandwidth to exchange route informationExplanation
Dynamic routing protocols provide routers with up-to-date routing tables, which means that they constantly exchange information about network changes and updates. This allows routers to adapt to changes in the network topology and choose the most efficient paths for forwarding traffic. However, this constant exchange of information consumes bandwidth as routers need to send and receive routing updates. Therefore, dynamic routing protocols require the consumption of bandwidth to exchange route information.Rate this question:

- C.
A host uses a default route to identify the Layer 2 address of an end device on the local network
- D.
A host uses a default route to transfer data to a host outside the local network when no other route to the destination exists
Correct Answer
D. A host uses a default route to transfer data to a host outside the local network when no other route to the destination existsExplanation
A default route is used by a host to transfer data to a host outside the local network when there is no other specific route available for the destination. It acts as a fallback option, allowing the host to send packets to a default gateway, which will then forward the data to the appropriate destination network. This is particularly useful when the host needs to communicate with networks that are not directly connected to it.Rate this question:

Which protocol provides connectionless network layer services?
- A.
IP
- B.
TCP
- C.

OSI
Correct Answer
A. IPExplanation
IP (Internet Protocol) provides connectionless network layer services. Connectionless means that each packet is treated independently and is routed separately, without establishing a dedicated connection between the sender and receiver. IP is responsible for addressing and routing packets across the network, ensuring that they reach their intended destination. It does not guarantee the delivery or order of packets, making it a connectionless protocol. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) are both transport layer protocols that rely on IP for network layer services.

What is the name of the process of removing the OSI layer 2 information from an IP packet?
Correct Answer(s)
DecapsulationExplanation
Decapsulation is the process of removing the OSI layer 2 information from an IP packet. This process occurs when the packet is received at the destination. During decapsulation, the layer 2 header, such as the Ethernet header, is stripped off, leaving only the layer 3 IP packet. This allows the packet to be forwarded to the appropriate destination based on the IP address. Decapsulation is the opposite of encapsulation, which is the process of adding layer 2 information to an IP packet when it is transmitted.Rate this question:

C. IP is connectionless and TCP is connection orientedExplanation
TCP is reliable and IP is unreliable: TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data packets over a network. It ensures that data is delivered without loss or duplication. On the other hand, IP (Internet Protocol) is unreliable as it does not guarantee the delivery of packets. It is responsible for routing and addressing packets between different networks.
IP is connectionless and TCP is connection-oriented: IP is connectionless, meaning it does not establish a dedicated connection between the sender and receiver. Each packet is treated independently and can take different routes to reach its destination.

- E.
Routers can use static and dynamic routing simultaneously
Correct Answer(s)
C. Dynamic routing adds packet-processing overhead
E. Routers can use static and dynamic routing simultaneouslyExplanation
Dynamic routing adds packet-processing overhead because routers using dynamic routing protocols need to constantly exchange routing information and update their routing tables. This requires additional processing power and network resources.

Correct Answer(s)
A. The packet can be successfully delivered if it is destined for a directly connected network
C. The packet will be dropped by the next router unless that router has an interface on the destination networkExplanation
When the TTL (Time to Live) is set to 1, two things can happen. Firstly, if the packet is destined for a directly connected network, it can be successfully delivered. This means that if the packet's destination is within the same network that it originated from, it will reach its intended destination. Secondly, if the packet is not destined for a directly connected network, the next router will drop the packet unless it has an interface on the destination network. In this case, the packet will not be able to reach its destination and will be discarded by the router.Rate this question:
