    How does TCP handle data sequencing?

    • TCP does not sequence the data; it simply passes numbered segments created at a higher layer in the sequence defined.
    • TCP breaks user data into segments, numbers each segment, places them into the correct segment, places them in the correct sequence, and sends each one in order, waiting for an acknowledgement before sending the next segment.
    • TCP breaks user data into segments, numbers each segment, and sends each segment in order, without waiting for an acknowledgement.
    • TCP breaks the data into segments, numbers each segment, and passes them to UDP, which sequences the segments into the correct oder.

    What problem does the Spanning Tree Protocol prevent?

    • It prevents message loops from developing when a switch or bridge is connected to the same location more than once.

    • It doesn't prevent any problem. Instead, it creates and overall routing table (a span tree) for the entire network.

    • It prevents buffer overflows by defining source quench messages that a receiving device sends to the transmitting device.

    • It prevents route tables from becoming outdated by decreasing the convergence time on a network.

    Correct Answer
    A. It prevents message loops from developing when a switch or bridge is connected to the same location more than once.
    Explanation
    The Spanning Tree Protocol prevents message loops from developing when a switch or bridge is connected to the same location more than once. By using the protocol, redundant paths in the network are identified and blocked, ensuring that there is only one active path between any two network devices. This prevents the occurrence of loops, which can cause network congestion, broadcast storms, and inefficient packet forwarding.

    You are asked to design a LAN segmentation solution for Company AGH. They have three workgroups, Accounting, Sales, and Service. Most network traffic is localized within the individual workgroups, but some traffic crosses between each group. Company AGH is especially concerned about the security of information within the Accounting department.Which segmentation device meets the needs while providing the most economical and simplest administration?

    • Bridge

    • Switch

    • Hub

    • Router

    • Gateway

    Correct Answer
    A. Router
    Explanation
    A router is the best segmentation device for Company AGH because it can separate the three workgroups into different network segments, allowing for localized traffic within each group and controlling the traffic that crosses between them. Routers also provide security features such as firewall capabilities, which would address the company's concern about the security of information within the Accounting department. Additionally, routers offer more advanced administration options compared to other devices like bridges, switches, hubs, or gateways.

    You've just enabled port security on an interface of a Catalyst 2950 switch. You want to generate an SNMP trap whenever a violation occurs. Which feature should you enable?

    • Shutdown

    • Secure

    • Protect

    • Restrict

    Correct Answer
    A. Restrict
    Explanation
    To generate an SNMP trap whenever a violation occurs after enabling port security on a Catalyst 2950 switch, the feature that should be enabled is "restrict." This feature restricts the number of MAC addresses allowed on the interface and generates an SNMP trap when a violation, such as exceeding the allowed number of MAC addresses, occurs.

    A Cisco router boots but cannot locate the startup-config file. Assuming the default configuration what will the router do next?

    • Enter setup mode

    • Stop with a configuration file load error

    • Prompt you for the location of a valid configuration file

    • Enter ROM monitor mode

    Correct Answer
    A. Enter setup mode
    Explanation
    When a Cisco router boots up but cannot locate the startup-config file, it will enter setup mode. In this mode, the router will prompt the user to configure basic settings such as hostname, IP addresses, and passwords. This allows the user to manually set up the router's configuration from scratch or restore a backup configuration file if available.

    You have been put in charge of connecting two company networks that were previously separated. You need to connect a 100BastTx Ethernet network with an older token ring network. Most traffic will be localized within each network, with only a little traffic crossing between networks. Both networks are using the TCP/IP protocol suite.Which connectivity device would be the best choice in this situation?

    • Router

    • Bridge

    • Switch

    • Gateway

    • Hub

    • Repeater

    Correct Answer
    A. Router
    Explanation
    A router would be the best choice in this situation because it can connect networks using different protocols, such as the Ethernet network and the token ring network. It can also route traffic between the networks based on IP addresses, allowing for efficient communication between the two networks.

  • 8. 

    At which layer of the OSI model do network switches operate?

    • Network

    • Data Link

    • Transport

    • Physical

    Correct Answer
    A. Data Link
    Explanation
    Network switches operate at the Data Link layer of the OSI model. This layer is responsible for the reliable transfer of data between adjacent network nodes. Network switches use MAC addresses to forward data packets within a local area network (LAN). They examine the data link layer header of incoming packets and make decisions on where to forward them based on the destination MAC address. Therefore, the correct answer is Data Link.

    Which IPv6 address type is only valid within a subnet?

    • Link-local

    • Global unicast

    • Unique local

    • Site-local

    • Multicast

    Correct Answer
    A. Link-local
    Explanation
    The link-local IPv6 address type is only valid within a subnet. These addresses are automatically assigned to interfaces on a network without the need for any external configuration or intervention. Link-local addresses are used for communication within a single subnet and are not routable outside of that subnet. They are primarily used for neighbor discovery and automatic address configuration within a local network.

    A workstation has been assigned the following IP addressing information:* IP address: 192.168.1.26* Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0* Default gateway: 192.168.1.254* DNS server: 192.168.1.1Given this information, what is the IP address of the network where this host resides?

    • 192.0.0.0

    • 192.168.1.0

    • 192.168.1.255

    • 192.168.0.0

    Correct Answer
    A. 192.0.0.0
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 192.168.1.0. This is because the IP address of the network where the host resides is obtained by performing a logical AND operation between the IP address and the subnet mask. In this case, 192.168.1.26 AND 255.255.255.0 results in 192.168.1.0, which is the network address.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which of the following IPv6 addressses is equivalent to the IPv4 loopback address of 127.0.0.1?

    • ::1

    • FE80::1

    • ::

    • FF02::1

    Correct Answer
    A. ::1
    Explanation
    The IPv6 address "::1" is equivalent to the IPv4 loopback address of 127.0.0.1. In IPv6, the "::1" address is reserved for the loopback interface, just like 127.0.0.1 is in IPv4. Both addresses are used to test network connectivity on a local machine without involving any external network devices.

    Your network has been assigned 200.55.6.0 as the network address. You have determined that you need four subnets.Which subnet mask should you use to provide four subnets?

    • 255.255.255.128

    • 255.255.255.192

    • 255.255.255.224

    • 255.255.255.240

    • 255.255.255.248

    • 255.255.255.252

    Correct Answer
    A. 255.255.255.192
    Explanation
    To provide four subnets, the subnet mask should have enough bits to accommodate the number of subnets required. In this case, four subnets are needed, which can be represented by 2 bits (2^2 = 4). The subnet mask 255.255.255.192 has 26 bits turned on, which allows for 64 possible subnets (2^6 = 64). Therefore, it is the appropriate subnet mask to provide four subnets.

    You have configured NAT on your router to connect your small company network to the Internet. Shown below is a partial configuration for the router:hostname RouterA!ip address 192.168.11.1 255.255.255.0speed autoduplex autoip nat inside!interface FastEthernet0/1ip address 192.168.12.1 255.255.0speed autoduplex autoip nat inside!interface Serial0/1/0ip address 116.12.11.155 255.255.255.248ip nat outside!ip nat pool ovrloadd 116.12.11.151 116.12.11.156 netmask 255.255.255.248!ip nat inside source list 7 pool overloadd!Following the configuration, you must find that no hosts on Fa0/0 or Fa0/1 can connect to the Internet. What should you do so that hosts can connect to the Internet?

    • Add the overload parameter to the ip nat inside source list name.

    • Add an ip access-group entry for Fa0/0 and Fa0/1.

    • Use ip nat outside for Fa0/0 and Fa0/1; use ip nat inside for S0/1/0.

    • Create an access list 7 that permits networks 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.12.0/24

    • Change the subnet mask for both Fa0/0 and Fa0/1 to 255.255.255.248

    Correct Answer
    A. Create an access list 7 that permits networks 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.12.0/24
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to create an access list 7 that permits networks 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.12.0/24. By creating this access list, the router will allow traffic from these networks to be translated and forwarded to the Internet using NAT. Without the access list, the router will not know which traffic should be translated and forwarded, resulting in the hosts being unable to connect to the Internet.

    Which of the following is true of the systom ROM on a Cisco device?

    • It holds a limited version of the IOS software to be used if the full IOS image can't be found.

    • It provides a long-term storage location for saving alternate configuration files and IOS images.

    • It holds the startup-config file that is copied into memory when the device boots.

    • It holds the current configuration used by the device as it runs.

    Correct Answer
    A. It holds a limited version of the IOS software to be used if the full IOS image can't be found.
    Explanation
    The system ROM on a Cisco device holds a limited version of the IOS software to be used if the full IOS image cannot be found. This means that if the device is unable to find the full IOS image during startup, it can still boot up using the limited version stored in the system ROM. This provides a fail-safe mechanism to ensure that the device can still function even if the full IOS image is not available.

    Which of the following statements about access lists are true? (Select two.)

    • Inbound access lists are applied before the routing process.

    • Use a standard access list to filter on source or destination IP address.

    • An access list without a permit traffic will not allow any traffic.

    • You can have a maximum of two standard and two extended access lists applied to each interface.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Inbound access lists are applied before the routing process.
    A. An access list without a permit traffic will not allow any traffic.
    Explanation
    Inbound access lists are applied before the routing process. This means that when a packet arrives at a router, the inbound access list is checked first to determine if the packet should be allowed or denied before the routing process is initiated.

    An access list without a permit traffic will not allow any traffic. This means that if an access list does not have any permit statements, it will deny all traffic by default.
