    Which forms of the validation can PPP use to authenticate a remote server?

    • CHAP

    • Domain account

    • PAP and this

    • KPA

    Correct Answer
    A. CHAP
    Explanation
    PPP can use CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) to authenticate a remote server. CHAP is a secure authentication method that involves a three-way handshake process. During this process, the server sends a challenge to the remote server, which responds with a hashed value of the challenge and a secret password. The server then compares the received hashed value with its own calculation to verify the authenticity of the remote server. CHAP provides a higher level of security compared to other authentication methods like PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) or KPA (Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication).

  • 9. 

    Which of the following are protocols for setting up a "tunnel" for PPTP?

    • PPP connection and communication

    • PPTP control connection

    • PPTP data tunneling

    • PPTP data transfer

    Correct Answer
    A. PPTP control connection
    Explanation
    The correct answer is PPTP control connection. PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) is a protocol used to create virtual private networks (VPNs). It involves the use of a control connection to set up and manage the tunnel for PPTP. This control connection is responsible for establishing and maintaining the secure connection between the client and the server. It handles authentication, encryption, and other security-related tasks. The control connection is separate from the data tunneling, which is used for transmitting the actual data between the client and the server.

    Correct Answer
    A. PPP
    Explanation
    PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is the correct answer because it is a remote protocol that supports running many different types of network protocols over a serial link. PPP provides a standardized method for encapsulating multiple network layer protocols such as IP, IPX, and NetBEUI, allowing them to be transmitted over a serial connection. This flexibility and versatility make PPP an ideal choice for connecting remote networks and devices.
