Data is being sent from a source PC to a destination server. Which three statements correctly describe the function of TCP or UDP in this situation? (Choose three.)
- A.
The UDP destination port number identifies the application or service on the server which will handle the data.
- B.
TCP is the preferred protocol when a function requires lower network overhead.
- C.
UDP segments are encapsulated within IP packets for transport across the network.
- D.
The source port field identifies the running application or service that will handle data returning to the PC.
- E.
The TCP source port number identifies the sending host on the network
- F.
The TCP process running on the PC randomly selects the destination port when establishing a session with the server.
Correct Answer(s)
A. The UDP destination port number identifies the application or service on the server which will handle the data.
C. UDP segments are encapsulated within IP packets for transport across the network.
D. The source port field identifies the running application or service that will handle data returning to the PC.Explanation
TCP and UDP are both transport layer protocols used for sending data from a source PC to a destination server.
The statement "The UDP destination port number identifies the application or service on the server which will handle the data" is correct. In UDP, the destination port number is used to identify the specific application or service on the server that should receive the data.
The statement "UDP segments are encapsulated within IP packets for transport across the network" is also correct. UDP segments are encapsulated within IP packets, which allows them to be transported across the network.
The statement "The source port field identifies the running application or service that will handle data returning to the PC" is the third correct statement. The source port field in both TCP and UDP identifies the application or service on the source PC that is responsible for handling the data returning from the server.Rate this question:

In what two situations would UDP be the preferred transport protocol over TCP? (Choose two.)
- A.
When applications need to guarantee that a packet arrives intact, in sequence, and unduplicated
- B.
When a faster delivery mechanism is needed
- C.
When delivery overhead is not an issue
- D.
When applications do not need to guarantee delivery of the data
- E.
When destination port numbers are dynamic
Correct Answer(s)
B. When a faster delivery mechanism is needed
D. When applications do not need to guarantee delivery of the dataExplanation
UDP would be the preferred transport protocol over TCP when a faster delivery mechanism is needed because UDP does not have the same level of reliability and error-checking mechanisms as TCP, which allows for faster transmission. Additionally, UDP would be preferred when applications do not need to guarantee delivery of the data because UDP does not have the same level of error recovery and retransmission capabilities as TCP, making it more suitable for applications where occasional data loss is acceptable.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. Workstation A sends an IP packet to workstation B. Which two statements describe the encapsulation of the packet as it passes through the network?
- A.
The Layer 2 header is stripped from the packet by each router.
- B.
The destination Layer 2 address of the packet does not change
- C.
The source Layer 3 address of the packet changes at each router.
- D.
The Layer 2 header changes at each router
- E.
The Layer 3 header is stripped from the packet by each router
Correct Answer(s)
A. The Layer 2 header is stripped from the packet by each router.
D. The Layer 2 header changes at each routerExplanation
As the IP packet passes through each router in the network, the Layer 2 header is stripped from the packet by each router. This means that each router removes the Layer 2 header before forwarding the packet to the next router. Additionally, the Layer 2 header changes at each router. This means that each router adds its own Layer 2 header with the appropriate source and destination addresses before forwarding the packet to the next router.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. A switch with a default configuration connects four hosts. The ARP table for host A is shown. What happens when host A wants to send an IP packet to host D?
- A.
Host A sends an ARP request to the MAC address of host D
- B.
Host D sends an ARP request to host A.
- C.
Host A sends out the packet to the switch. The switch sends the packet only to the host D, which in turn responds
- D.
Host A sends out a broadcast of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Every other host connected to the switch receives the broadcast and host D responds with its MAC address.
Correct Answer
D. Host A sends out a broadcast of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Every other host connected to the switch receives the broadcast and host D responds with its MAC address.Explanation
When host A wants to send an IP packet to host D, it sends out a broadcast message with the MAC address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. This broadcast message is received by every other host connected to the switch. Host D, being the intended recipient, responds to the broadcast message with its MAC address. This allows host A to know the MAC address of host D, which is necessary for the packet to be properly delivered.Rate this question:

What are two actions performed by a Cisco switch? (Choose two.)
- A.
Building a routing table that is based on the first IP address in the frame header
- B.
Using the source MAC addresses of frames to build and maintain a MAC address table
- C.
Forwarding frames with unknown destination IP addresses to the default gateway
- D.
Utilizing the MAC address table to forward frames via the destination MAC address
- E.
Examining the destination MAC address to add new entries to the MAC address table
Correct Answer(s)
B. Using the source MAC addresses of frames to build and maintain a MAC address table
D. Utilizing the MAC address table to forward frames via the destination MAC addressExplanation
A Cisco switch performs two actions. First, it uses the source MAC addresses of frames to build and maintain a MAC address table. This table keeps track of which devices are connected to which ports on the switch. Second, the switch utilizes the MAC address table to forward frames to the appropriate destination MAC address. By referencing the table, the switch can determine the correct port to send the frame to, ensuring efficient and accurate forwarding of network traffic.Rate this question:

A network administrator wants to configure a Cisco 2960 switch so that access to each switch port is limited to one MAC address. What will accomplish the administrator’s objective?
- A.
Cisco Discovery Protocol
- B.
Port security
- C.
Internet Control Message Protocol
- D.
Access lists
- E.
Flow control
Correct Answer
B. Port securityExplanation
Port security is a feature in Cisco switches that allows the network administrator to restrict access to each switch port to a specific MAC address. By enabling port security, the switch will only allow network traffic from the MAC address that is associated with that port. This helps to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to the network and enhances network security.Rate this question:

When would you want to use the switchport port-security mac-address sticky command?
- A.
Whenever you need to protect an unused switch port
- B.
Whenever you want the port to only allow a single host device to connect
- C.
Whenever you need the port to recognize the statically assigned MAC address in the MAC address table
- D.
Whenever multiple devices share the same port
Correct Answer
D. Whenever multiple devices share the same portExplanation
The switchport port-security mac-address sticky command should be used whenever multiple devices share the same port. This command allows the switch to dynamically learn the MAC addresses of the devices connected to the port and automatically adds them to the port-security configuration. This ensures that only the learned MAC addresses are allowed to connect to the port, preventing unauthorized devices from accessing the network.Rate this question:

- C.
Configure an access port on each switch.
- D.
Add a Layer 3 device to the network.
Correct Answer
D. Add a Layer 3 device to the network.Explanation
The problem is that workstations on different VLANs cannot ping each other. This indicates that there is no inter-VLAN routing happening between the VLANs. To fix this issue, a Layer 3 device such as a router or a Layer 3 switch needs to be added to the network. This device will be able to route traffic between the VLANs, allowing workstations on different VLANs to communicate with each other.Rate this question:

- F.
After detecting a collision, hosts can attempt to resume transmission after a random time delay has expired.
Correct Answer(s)
C. A device listens and waits until the media is not busy before transmitting.
E. All of the devices on a segment see data that passes on the network medium.
F. After detecting a collision, hosts can attempt to resume transmission after a random time delay has expired.Explanation
CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) is a protocol used in Ethernet networks to manage how devices access the network medium. Three characteristics of CSMA/CD are as follows:
1. A device listens and waits until the media is not busy before transmitting: This means that devices will check if the network medium is currently being used by another device before attempting to transmit data. If the media is busy, the device will wait until it becomes available.
2. All of the devices on a segment see data that passes on the network medium: In CSMA/CD, all devices on a network segment can see the data that is being transmitted on the network medium. This allows for shared communication and ensures that all devices receive the transmitted data.
3. After detecting a collision, hosts can attempt to resume transmission after a random time delay has expired: In the event of a collision, where multiple devices attempt to transmit data at the same time and their signals collide, CSMA/CD allows the devices to wait for a random time delay before attempting to transmit again. This helps to reduce the likelihood of another collision occurring.Rate this question:
