Questions and Answers

1.

Users in the network are experiencing slow response time when doing file transfers to a remote server. What command could be issued to determine if the router has experienced any input or output errors?
- A.
  
  Show running-config
- B.
  
  Show startup-config
- C.
  
  Show interfaces
- D.
  
  Show ip route
- E.
  
  Show version
Correct Answer
C. Show interfaces

Explanation
The command "show interfaces" can be issued to determine if the router has experienced any input or output errors. This command will display the status and statistics of all interfaces on the router, including any errors that may have occurred during file transfers. By examining the output of this command, network administrators can identify if there are any issues with the router's interfaces that may be causing the slow response time.

What command is used to change the default router name to Fontana?
- A.
  
  Router# name Fontana
- B.
  
  Router# hostname Fontana
- C.
  
  Router(config)# name Fontana
- D.
  
  Router(config)# hostname Fontana
Correct Answer
D. Router(config)# hostname Fontana

Explanation
The correct answer is "Router(config)# hostname Fontana". This command is used to change the default router name to "Fontana". The "hostname" command is used in global configuration mode (indicated by "config#") to specify the name that will appear in the prompt of the router. By entering this command followed by the desired name, in this case "Fontana", the router's hostname will be changed accordingly.

When network services fail, which port is most often used to access a router for management purposes?
- A.
  
  AUC
- B.
  
  Ethernet
- C.
  
  Console
- D.
  
  Telnet
- E.
  
  SSH
Correct Answer
C. Console

Explanation
Console is the correct answer because when network services fail, the console port is commonly used to access a router for management purposes. The console port provides a direct physical connection to the router, allowing administrators to access the device even if network connectivity is not available. This port is typically used for initial configuration, troubleshooting, and recovery tasks.

A network administrator needs to keep the user ID, password, and session contents private when establishing remote CLI connectivity with a router to manage it. Which access method should be chosen?
- A.
  
  Telnet
- B.
  
  Console
- C.
  
  AUX
- D.
  
  SSH
Correct Answer
D. SSH

Explanation
SSH (Secure Shell) should be chosen as the access method because it provides secure remote CLI connectivity. Unlike Telnet, which transmits data in clear text, SSH encrypts the data, ensuring the privacy and integrity of user ID, password, and session contents. Console and AUX are not suitable for remote connectivity as they require physical access to the router.

5.

In a Cisco router, when do changes made to the running-configuration take effect?
- A.
  
  after a system restart
- B.
  
  As the commands are entered
- C.
  
  When logging off the system
- D.
  
  When the configuration is saved to the startup-configuration
Correct Answer
B. As the commands are entered

Explanation
Changes made to the running-configuration in a Cisco router take effect as the commands are entered. This means that any changes made to the configuration will immediately be applied and take effect without the need for a system restart, logging off the system, or saving the configuration to the startup-configuration.

Which three terms correctly define the forms of help available within the Cisco IOS? (Choose three.)
- A.
  
  Hot keys
- B.
  
  context-check
- C.
  
  context-sensitive
- D.
  
  Structured check
- E.
  
  Command override
Correct Answer(s)
A. Hot keys
C. context-sensitive
E. Command override

Explanation
The three terms that correctly define the forms of help available within the Cisco IOS are hot keys, context-sensitive, and command override. Hot keys refer to keyboard shortcuts that provide quick access to specific functions or commands. Context-sensitive help provides relevant information based on the current context or command being entered. Command override allows users to override or modify certain commands or settings within the IOS.

7.

Which combination of keys would be used at the CLI prompt to interrupt a ping or traceroute process?
- A.
  
  Ctrl-C
- B.
  
  Ctrl-P
- C.
  
  Ctrl-R
- D.
  
  Ctrl-Shift-6
- E.
  
  Ctrl-Z
Correct Answer
D. Ctrl-Shift-6

Explanation
Ctrl-Shift-6 is the correct combination of keys to interrupt a ping or traceroute process at the CLI prompt. This key combination is commonly used in networking devices to stop a running process. It sends a break signal to the device, causing it to terminate the current operation and return to the command prompt. Ctrl-C is a commonly used key combination for interrupting processes, but in this case, Ctrl-Shift-6 is the correct answer. Ctrl-P, Ctrl-R, and Ctrl-Z do not interrupt ping or traceroute processes.
