Which OSI layer does IP rely on to determine whether packets have been lost and to request retransmission?
-
Application
-
Presentation
-
Session
-
Transport
Correct Answer
A. TransportExplanation
IP relies on the transport layer to determine whether packets have been lost and to request retransmission. The transport layer is responsible for breaking the data into smaller units called segments and adding sequence numbers to each segment. IP uses these sequence numbers to determine if any segments are missing and requests retransmission of those missing segments. The transport layer also handles error detection and correction, ensuring that the data is delivered accurately and in the correct order. Therefore, the correct answer is transport.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. Communication for hosts X and Y is restricted to the local network. What is the reason for this?
-
Host X is assigned a network address.
-
Host Y is assigned a multicast address.
-
Host X and host Y belong to different networks.
-
The gateway addresses are broadcast addresses.
Correct Answer
A. The gateway addresses are broadcast addresses.Explanation
The reason for the communication restriction between hosts X and Y to the local network is that the gateway addresses are broadcast addresses. This means that the gateway is broadcasting the network packets to all devices on the local network, rather than forwarding them to a specific destination. As a result, communication is limited to the local network and cannot be extended to other networks.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. Host A sends a frame with the destination MAC address as FFFF.FFFF.FFFF. What action will the switch take for this frame?
-
It will drop the frame.
-
It will send the frame back to host A.
-
It will send the frame to all hosts except host A.
-
It will forward the frame to the default gateway.
Correct Answer
A. It will send the frame to all hosts except host A.Explanation
When a frame with a destination MAC address of FFFF.FFFF.FFFF is received by a switch, it will be flooded out to all ports except the port from which it was received. This is because the FFFF.FFFF.FFFF MAC address is the broadcast address, and the switch will send the frame to all hosts on the network to ensure that it reaches its intended destination. Therefore, the switch will send the frame to all hosts except host A.Rate this question:

A technician is asked to secure the privileged EXEC mode of a switch by requiring a password. Which type of password would require this login and be considered the most secure?
-
Console
-
Enable
-
Enable secret
-
VTY
Correct Answer
A. Enable secretExplanation
The most secure type of password that can be used to secure the privileged EXEC mode of a switch is the "enable secret" password. This password is encrypted and stored in the switch's configuration file, providing an extra layer of security compared to other types of passwords such as the console or enable passwords. By using the "enable secret" password, unauthorized users will not be able to easily view or access the password, making it the most secure option.Rate this question:

-
Address translation
-
DHCP services
-
Ftpd
-
Web server
Correct Answer
A. Address translationExplanation
Router RT_A needs to provide address translation in order to allow Internet access for hosts in this network. Address translation, typically done through Network Address Translation (NAT), allows multiple devices in a private network to share a single public IP address for communication with the Internet. It translates the private IP addresses of the hosts in the network to the public IP address assigned to the router, allowing the hosts to communicate with external networks.Rate this question:

Which statement is true about the TTL value of an IPv4 packet?
-
It determines the priority of a packet.
-
It specifies the remaining “life” of the packet.
-
It indicates that the packet has been fragmented.
-
It denotes the data payload type that the packet is carrying.
Correct Answer
A. It specifies the remaining “life” of the packet.Explanation
The TTL (Time to Live) value of an IPv4 packet specifies the remaining "life" of the packet. It is a field in the IP header that is decremented by each router the packet passes through. When the TTL value reaches 0, the packet is discarded. This mechanism prevents packets from circulating indefinitely in the network.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. RouterB is configured properly. The Ethernet interface Fa0/0 of RouterA is configured with the use of the commands that are shown. However, a ping from the Fa0/0 interface of RouterA to the Fa0/0 interface of RouterB is unsuccessful. What action should be taken on RouterA to solve this problem?
-
Use the description command on the FastEthernet interface Fa0/0.
-
Configure the clock rate of the FastEthernet interface Fa0/0
-
Use the no shutdown command on the FastEthernet interface Fa0/0.
-
Reboot the router.
Correct Answer
A. Use the no shutdown command on the FastEthernet interface Fa0/0.Explanation
The correct answer is to use the "no shutdown" command on the FastEthernet interface Fa0/0. This command will enable the interface, allowing it to send and receive traffic. By default, interfaces on Cisco routers are in a shutdown state, so they need to be explicitly enabled using the "no shutdown" command. In this case, since the ping from RouterA to RouterB is unsuccessful, it indicates that the interface is likely in a shutdown state and needs to be brought up.Rate this question:

-
Both the 192.168.1.200/30 and 192.168.1.204/30 networks will be affected.
-
Only the links between 192.168.1.201 and port Fa0/7 on SW2 will be affected.
Correct Answer
A. Only the 192.168.1.200/30 network will be affected.Explanation
The correct answer is "Only the 192.168.1.200/30 network will be affected." This is because the excessive broadcast traffic is being generated by Interface Fa0/0 on router A. This interface is connected to the 192.168.1.200/30 network, so only this network will be affected by the excessive broadcasts. The other networks mentioned in the options are not directly connected to Interface Fa0/0 on router A, so they will not be affected.Rate this question:

-
The subnet mask on host A is incorrectly configured.
-
The IP address on host A is incorrectly configured.
-
The default gateway on host A is incorrectly configured.
Correct Answer
A. The default gateway on host A is incorrectly configured.Explanation
The likely cause of the problem is that the default gateway on host A is incorrectly configured. This means that host A does not know where to send packets that are destined for the remote network, resulting in the inability to reach host B. The successful ping to the local gateway indicates that the local network configuration is correct, ruling out the other options as the cause of the problem.Rate this question:

What happens when a node on an Ethernet network is creating a frame and it does not have the destination MAC address?
-
The node drops the frame.
-
The node sends out a Layer 3 broadcast message.
-
The node sends a message directly to the router for the address
-
The node sends out an ARP request with the destination IP address.
Correct Answer
A. The node sends out an ARP request with the destination IP address.Explanation
When a node on an Ethernet network is creating a frame and it does not have the destination MAC address, it sends out an ARP request with the destination IP address. This is because the node needs to determine the MAC address of the destination device in order to properly send the frame. The ARP request is used to ask the network for the MAC address associated with the given IP address. Once the node receives the MAC address, it can then properly address the frame and send it to the correct destination.Rate this question:

Interconnect the two PCs with a rollover cable.
-
Interconnect the two PCs with two rollover cables and a hub.
-
Interconnect the two PCs with a crossover cable.
-
Interconnest the two PCs with two crossover cables and a hub.
Correct Answer
A. Interconnect the two PCs with a crossover cable.Explanation
The technician should interconnect the two PCs with a crossover cable. A crossover cable is specifically designed to connect two devices of the same type, such as two computers, without the need for a hub or switch. In this case, since the NICs on both PCs do not support autosensing, a crossover cable is required to properly establish a network connection between the two computers and allow for data transfer. Using a rollover cable or a combination of rollover cables and a hub would not be appropriate in this scenario.Rate this question:

-
IP
-
UDP
-
Ethernet
-
A connectionless acknowledgement
-
An upper-layer, connection-oriented protocol or service
Correct Answer
A. An upper-layer, connection-oriented protocol or serviceExplanation
When connectionless protocols are implemented at the lower layers of the OSI model, an upper-layer, connection-oriented protocol or service is usually used to acknowledge that the data was received and to request the retransmission of missing data. This is because connectionless protocols do not provide acknowledgment or retransmission mechanisms themselves, so a higher layer protocol or service is needed to handle these functions.Rate this question:

An administrator makes changes to the default configuration of a router and saves them to NVRAM. After testing, it is discovered that the configurations did not have the desired effect and must be removed. What steps must be taken to remove the changes and return the router to the default configuration?
-
Reboot the router.
-
Use no version of the commands that are issued.
-
Issue the erase startup-config command, and then reboot the router.
-
Issue the erase running-config command, and then reboot the router.
Correct Answer
A. Issue the erase startup-config command, and then reboot the router.Explanation
To remove the changes and return the router to the default configuration, the administrator should issue the "erase startup-config" command. This command will delete the startup configuration file from NVRAM, which contains the saved changes. After executing this command, the router should be rebooted to apply the default configuration. The "erase running-config" command, on the other hand, only clears the current running configuration, which may not revert the router back to the default settings.Rate this question:

Which router configuration mode would an administrator use to configure the router for SSH or Telnet login access?
-
Line
-
Router
-
Global
-
Interface
-
Privileged EXEC
Correct Answer
A. LineExplanation
An administrator would use the "line" configuration mode to configure the router for SSH or Telnet login access. This mode allows the administrator to configure various settings related to line access, including authentication methods, login prompts, and timeout settings. By configuring the line settings, the administrator can enable SSH or Telnet access and define the necessary parameters for remote login.Rate this question:

What purpose does a hostname serve on a router?
-
Uniquely identifies a router on the internet
-
Used by routing protocols to identify peer routers
-
Provides device identification to users logging on remotely
-
Determines the hosts that are allowed to connect to the device
Correct Answer
A. Provides device identification to users logging on remotelyExplanation
A hostname on a router serves the purpose of providing device identification to users logging on remotely. This means that when users connect to the router remotely, they can identify the specific device they are connecting to by its hostname. This helps in distinguishing and managing multiple routers in a network, allowing users to access the intended router for remote management or configuration purposes.Rate this question:

Which statement accurately describes file sharing in a peer-to-peer network?
-
A dedicated server is required.
-
Access control is decentralized.
-
Files are typically stored on the most powerful peer in the network.
-
Peers can either make requests, or respond to requests, but not both.
Correct Answer
A. Access control is decentralized.Explanation
In a peer-to-peer network, access control is decentralized, meaning that there is no central authority controlling the access to shared files. Instead, each peer in the network has control over its own files and can choose which files to share and with whom. This allows for a more distributed and flexible system, where peers can directly communicate and share files with each other without relying on a dedicated server.Rate this question:

An organization has been assigned network ID 10.10.128.0 and subnet mask 255.255.224.0. Which IP address range can be used for this organization?
-
10.10.128.0 to 10.10.160.255
-
10.10.128.0 to 10.10.159.255
-
10.10.128.0 to 10.10.192.255
-
10.10.128.0 to 10.10.0.159
-
10.10.128.0 to 10.10.159.0
Correct Answer
A. 10.10.128.0 to 10.10.159.255Explanation
The given organization has a network ID of 10.10.128.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.224.0. This subnet mask allows for a total of 8192 IP addresses. The range of IP addresses that can be used by the organization would start from the network ID, which is 10.10.128.0, and go up to the last address in the range, which is 10.10.159.255. Therefore, the correct answer is 10.10.128.0 to 10.10.159.255.Rate this question:

Two routers are connected via their serial ports in a lab environment. The routers are configured with valid IP addresses, but they cannot ping each other. The show interface serial0/0 command shows that the serial0/0 interface is up but the line protocol is down. What could be the cause of this problem?
-
The no shutdown command has not been applied to the interfaces.
-
The clock rate command has not been entered on the DCE interface.
-
The interface timers are not cleared.
-
The FastEthernet interface is emulating a serial interface by assigning it a timing signal.
Correct Answer
A. The clock rate command has not been entered on the DCE interface.Explanation
The cause of the problem could be that the clock rate command has not been entered on the DCE interface. The clock rate command is used to set the clock rate for a serial interface in a lab environment. The DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment) interface is responsible for providing clocking to the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) interface. If the clock rate command is not entered on the DCE interface, the line protocol will remain down and the routers will not be able to communicate with each other.Rate this question:

A network administrator is tasked with connecting two workgroups that are configured to use different subnets. Which device should be selected to allow connectivity between users on the two networks?
-
Hub
-
Switch
-
Router
-
Wireless access point
Correct Answer
A. SwitchExplanation
A switch should be selected to allow connectivity between users on the two networks. A switch is a networking device that operates at the data link layer of the OSI model and can connect multiple devices together within a local area network (LAN). It uses MAC addresses to forward data packets to the appropriate destination. Unlike a hub, which simply broadcasts data to all connected devices, a switch can intelligently direct traffic only to the devices that need to receive it. A router, on the other hand, operates at the network layer and is used to connect different networks together. A wireless access point is used to provide wireless connectivity, but it does not directly connect different subnets.Rate this question:

What are two primary responsibilities of the Ethernet MAC sublayer? (Choose two.)
-
Frame delimiting
-
Data encapsulation
-
Logical addressing
-
Error detection
-
Accessing the media
Correct Answer(s)
A. Data encapsulation
A. Accessing the mediaExplanation
The Ethernet MAC sublayer has two primary responsibilities. The first responsibility is data encapsulation, which involves adding a header and trailer to the data received from the network layer. This encapsulated data is then ready to be transmitted over the network. The second responsibility is accessing the media, which involves determining when the network is available for transmission and sending the encapsulated data onto the network. These two responsibilities ensure that data is properly packaged and transmitted over the Ethernet network.Rate this question:
