(Networking) What would the subnet mask be for the IP range 172.16.0.0/8?
- A.
255.0.0.0
- B.
255.255.0.0
- C.
255.255.248.0
- D.
255.255.255.0
Correct Answer
A. 255.0.0.0Explanation
The subnet mask for the IP range 172.16.0.0/8 would be 255.0.0.0. This is because the /8 notation indicates that the first 8 bits of the IP address are the network portion, and the remaining 24 bits are the host portion. The subnet mask is used to divide the IP address into network and host portions, and in this case, the first 8 bits are masked with 255, while the remaining bits are masked with 0, resulting in a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.Rate this question:

(Networking) Fragmentation occurs at which layer(s) of the OSI Model?
- A.
Fragmentation occurs at Layer 3 only
- B.
Fragmentation occurs at Layer 2, and Layer 4
- C.
Fragmentation occurs at Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4
Correct Answer
A. Fragmentation occurs at Layer 3 onlyExplanation
Fragmentation occurs at Layer 3 only because it is the network layer of the OSI model. Fragmentation is the process of dividing a packet into smaller fragments to fit the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of a network. This process is necessary when the packet size exceeds the MTU of the network. Layer 2, which is the data link layer, is responsible for framing and error checking, but it does not handle fragmentation. Layer 4, the transport layer, is responsible for segmenting and reassembling data, but it does not handle fragmentation either. Therefore, fragmentation occurs only at Layer 3, the network layer.Rate this question:

(Networking) Which of the following network IP addresses must use NAT to access resources on the internet?
- A.
10.5.4.2
- B.
172.16.52.4
- C.
192.168.1.4
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
All of the given network IP addresses (10.5.4.2, 172.16.52.4, and 192.168.1.4) must use NAT (Network Address Translation) to access resources on the internet. This is because these IP addresses fall under private IP address ranges, which are not routable on the internet. NAT allows these private IP addresses to be translated into a single public IP address, allowing them to communicate with resources on the internet.Rate this question:

(Networking) You want to configure your firewall to allow people inside your network to ping anyone, but not allow anyone outside your network to traceroute anything behind your firewall, How should you configure it?
- A.
Block all ICMP
- B.
Block all ICMP Echo responses
- C.
Block all out bound ICMP
- D.
Block all outbound ICMP Time Exceeded In Transit
Correct Answer
D. Block all outbound ICMP Time Exceeded In TransitExplanation
By blocking all outbound ICMP Time Exceeded In Transit, the firewall will prevent anyone outside the network from tracerouting anything behind the firewall. This means that external users will not be able to determine the path or hops to reach destinations behind the firewall. However, allowing people inside the network to ping anyone indicates that ICMP Echo requests and responses are allowed. Therefore, blocking all other types of ICMP traffic, such as ICMP Echo responses or all outbound ICMP, will not interfere with this configuration.Rate this question:

(Networking) The three packets (In order) responsible for establishing a connection over TCP are:
- A.
FIN, FIN-ACK, ACK
- B.
SYN, ACK, SYN-ACK
- C.
SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK
- D.
SYN, FIN, ACK
Correct Answer
C. SYN, SYN-ACK, ACKExplanation
The correct answer is SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK. In TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), the process of establishing a connection between two devices is known as the TCP handshake. It involves a three-way handshake where the client sends a SYN (synchronize) packet to the server, the server responds with a SYN-ACK (synchronize-acknowledge) packet, and finally, the client acknowledges the server's response with an ACK (acknowledge) packet. This three-step process ensures that both devices agree on the initial sequence numbers and establishes a reliable connection for data transmission.Rate this question:

- D.
1-65635
Correct Answer
B. 0-65535Explanation
The valid TCP ports range from 0 to 65535. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a communication protocol used for transmitting data over networks. The port number is used to identify a specific process or service running on a device. In TCP, port numbers range from 0 to 65535, with ports 0 to 1023 being well-known ports reserved for common services like HTTP (port 80) or FTP (port 21). Ports 1024 to 65535 are available for general use by applications and services.Rate this question:

(Netoworking) Select the following statement that is true:
- A.
Transferring data over UDP is more reliable than over TCP
- B.
Transferring data over UDP is less reliable than over TCP
- C.
Transferring data over UDP has the same reliablity as over TCP
- D.
It is inappropriate to compare the reliability of UDP and TCP regarding data transfer.
Correct Answer
B. Transferring data over UDP is less reliable than over TCPExplanation
Transferring data over UDP is less reliable than over TCP. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that does not guarantee the delivery of data packets, whereas TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a reliable protocol that ensures the delivery of data packets by using acknowledgments and retransmissions. Therefore, TCP is considered more reliable for data transfer compared to UDP.Rate this question:

(Networking) As a packet travels from the source to destination, it may travel across networks that support different maximum packet sizes. If a network router has a packet that is 1500 bytes long and the destination interface for that packet can onlly accept packet that is 1400 bytes, _________ will occur.
- A.
TTL Timeout
- B.
Overlapping
- C.
Fragmentation
- D.
No Authentication will occur
Correct Answer
C. FragmentationExplanation
When a network router receives a packet that is larger than the maximum packet size allowed by the destination interface, it needs to break down or fragment the packet into smaller pieces that can be accommodated by the interface. This process is known as fragmentation. The router will divide the original packet into smaller fragments and add necessary headers to each fragment. These fragments will then be sent individually to the destination, where they will be reassembled to form the original packet.Rate this question:
