Geographical Dispersion Of Network Components
-
To accomplish DNAT, a gateway performs PAT (Port Address Translation). With PAT each client session with a server on the Internet is assigned a separate TCP port number. When the client issues a request to the server, its datagram’s source address includes this port number. When the Internet server responds, its datagram’s destination address includes the same port number. This allows the gateway to send the response to the appropriate client. PAT is the most common type of address translation used on small office and home networks.

A switch in full-duplex mode does not use CSMA/CD
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A switch in full-duplex mode does not use CSMA/CD because in full-duplex mode, data can be transmitted simultaneously in both directions without the need for collision detection. In CSMA/CD, devices listen for traffic on the network before transmitting, and if a collision is detected, they wait for a random amount of time before retransmitting. However, in full-duplex mode, each device has a dedicated communication path, allowing for simultaneous and uninterrupted transmission in both directions. Therefore, CSMA/CD is not necessary in full-duplex mode.Rate this question:

The given answer provides the correct custom subnet masks for the given network information. The first custom subnet mask, 255.255.255.0, is used when there are 2 subnets needed. The second custom subnet mask, 255.255.255.128, is used when there are 128 host addresses needed. The total number of subnets is 2 and the total number of host addresses is 128. The number of usable addresses is 126, which is calculated by subtracting 2 (network and broadcast addresses) from the total number of host addresses. The number of bits borrowed is 1, which is the number of bits needed to create the desired number of subnets. The number of host bits is 7, which is calculated by subtracting the number of bits borrowed from the default subnet mask.Rate this question:

Both PC1 and Server 1 have a default gateway, what is the purpose of a default gateway?
-
Forward Frames
-
Block packets
-
Route packets to the same subnet
-
Route packets to a different subnet
Correct Answer
A. Route packets to a different subnetExplanation
The purpose of a default gateway is to route packets to a different subnet. When a device wants to communicate with a destination that is not on its own subnet, it sends the packet to the default gateway. The default gateway then forwards the packet to the appropriate subnet, allowing communication between different subnets on a network.Rate this question:

What is the purpose of ARP?
-
ARP resolves an IP address to a Hostname.
-
ARP resolves the MAC address to a NetBIOS name.
-
ARP resolves the IP address of a Host to its MAC address.
-
ARP locates the default gateway of the network.
Correct Answer
A. ARP resolves the IP address of a Host to its MAC address.Explanation
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a network protocol used to resolve the IP address of a host to its corresponding MAC address. When a device wants to communicate with another device on the same network, it needs to know the MAC address of the destination device. ARP helps in this process by sending out a broadcast message asking for the MAC address of the device with a specific IP address. The device with the corresponding IP address then responds with its MAC address, allowing the requesting device to establish communication. Therefore, the purpose of ARP is to resolve the IP address of a host to its MAC address.Rate this question:

At the moment PC1 can't reach the Internet. You add a static default route to R1 that sends all traffic to an unknown destination out s1/1. Can a user on PC1 access the Internet?
-
No, packets will stop at R2
-
Yes, PC1 has internet access.
-
No, packets can make it to the internet but they will never make it back to PC1.
-
No, packets won't make it past R1.
Correct Answer
A. No, packets will stop at R2Explanation
Adding a static default route to R1 that sends all traffic to an unknown destination out s1/1 means that R1 will forward all packets to R2. However, since R2 does not have a route back to PC1, the packets will not be able to reach PC1. Therefore, PC1 will not be able to access the Internet.Rate this question:

What are the two methods used to prevent loops in a distance vector routing protocol?
-
Split horizon and hold down timer
-
Split horizon and hop count
-
Split horizon and Poison reverse
-
Poison reverse and hop count
Correct Answer
A. Split horizon and Poison reverseExplanation
Split horizon is a method used in distance vector routing protocols to prevent loops by not allowing a router to advertise a route back to the same interface from which it was learned. This helps to avoid routing loops.
Poison reverse is another method used to prevent loops in distance vector routing protocols. It involves advertising a route with an infinite metric (maximum hop count) back to the router that originally advertised it. This informs the router that the route is no longer available, preventing loops from occurring.
Therefore, the correct answer is Split horizon and Poison reverse as both methods are used to prevent loops in distance vector routing protocols.Rate this question:

Which of the following is an Exterior Gateway Protocol? Choose only one.
-
RIP
-
OSPF
-
BGP
-
EIGRP
Correct Answer
A. BGPExplanation
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is an Exterior Gateway Protocol used to exchange routing information between different autonomous systems (AS) on the internet. It is designed to provide scalability and support for complex network topologies. BGP is commonly used by internet service providers (ISPs) to connect their networks and exchange routing information with other ISPs. It allows for efficient and reliable routing decisions based on factors such as network policies, path attributes, and performance metrics.Rate this question:
