What are two ways that TCP uses the sequence numbers in a segment? (Choose two.)
- A.
To identify missing segments at the destination
- B.
To reassemble the segments at the remote location
- C.
To specify the order in which the segments travel from source to destination
- D.
To limit the number of segments that can be sent out of an interface at one time
- E.
To determine if the packet changed during transit
Correct Answer(s)
A. To identify missing segments at the destination
B. To reassemble the segments at the remote locationExplanation
TCP uses sequence numbers in a segment to identify missing segments at the destination and to reassemble the segments at the remote location. By assigning a unique sequence number to each segment, TCP can keep track of which segments have been received and which are missing. This allows TCP to request retransmission of any missing segments and ensure that all segments are received in the correct order. Additionally, TCP uses the sequence numbers to reassemble the received segments in the correct order at the remote location.Rate this question:

Which three statements characterize UDP? (Choose three.)
- A.
UDP provides connectionless, fast transport of data at Layer 4.
- B.
UDP provides connection-oriented, fast transport of data at Layer 3.
- C.
UDP relies on application layer protocols for error detection.
- D.
UDP works well when an application does not need to guarantee delivery of data.
- E.
UDP relies on IP for error detection and recovery.
- F.
UDP provides sophisticated flow control mechanisms.
Correct Answer(s)
A. UDP provides connectionless, fast transport of data at Layer 4.
C. UDP relies on application layer protocols for error detection.
D. UDP works well when an application does not need to guarantee delivery of data.Explanation
UDP is a connectionless protocol that operates at Layer 4 of the OSI model. It does not establish a connection before sending data and does not guarantee delivery of data. UDP relies on the application layer protocols for error detection, as it does not have built-in error detection and recovery mechanisms. This makes UDP a fast and efficient protocol for applications that prioritize speed over reliability, such as streaming media or online gaming.Rate this question:

Which device connects a local LAN to a geographically separate network?
- A.
Switch
- B.
Hub
- C.
Router
- D.
Bridge
Correct Answer
C. RouterExplanation
A router is a device that connects a local LAN (Local Area Network) to a geographically separate network. It is responsible for directing network traffic between different networks, such as connecting a home network to the internet. Routers use routing tables and protocols to determine the best path for data packets to reach their destination. Unlike switches and hubs, which are used to connect devices within a local network, routers are designed to connect networks together. Therefore, a router is the correct device for connecting a local LAN to a geographically separate network.Rate this question:

- A.
The packets will be sent to the server because it is a server-based port.
- B.
The packets will be sent to Switch2 and not leave the switch because the packets are local.
- C.
The packets will be sent to the laptop host.
- D.
The packets will be sent to Router1 and dropped because private addresses are not transmitted across the Internet.
- E.
The packets will be sent to Router2 and dropped because the server is not directly attached.
Correct Answer
D. The packets will be sent to Router1 and dropped because private addresses are not transmitted across the Internet.Explanation
The correct answer is that the packets will be sent to Router1 and dropped because private addresses are not transmitted across the Internet. Private addresses are used for internal networks and are not routable on the public Internet. Therefore, when the packets with private addresses are sent to Router1, it recognizes that these addresses cannot be transmitted across the Internet and drops the packets.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. If host 1 was to send an HTTP request to the web server that connects to Router2, what type of Layer 2 frame would be sent between Router1 and the ISP?
- A.
A frame with a header that contains the port number of 80
- B.
A frame with a header and trailer, but no MAC addresses
- C.
A frame with a header and a trailer that only contains IP addresses
- D.
A frame with the host 1 MAC address as the source and Router1 MAC address as the destination
- E.
A frame with the host 1 MAC address as the source and the server MAC address as the destination
Correct Answer
B. A frame with a header and trailer, but no MAC addressesExplanation
The correct answer is a frame with a header and trailer, but no MAC addresses. This is because the Layer 2 frame between Router1 and the ISP does not need MAC addresses as it is being sent over the internet. The header and trailer in the frame would contain the necessary information for routing the packet, such as IP addresses and other protocol-specific information.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator can successfully ping, using IP addresses, between router Jax and router Atlanta. However, when the command telnet Atlanta is entered from the Jax router, the Telnet connection fails. Which two reasons could be the cause of the failure? (Choose two.)
- A.
The Jax router is not an entry in the host table of the Atlanta router.
- B.
The Jax router does not have an entry for Atlanta in its host table.
- C.
The hostname command is not configured correctly on the Atlanta router.
- D.
The hostname command is not configured correctly on the Jax router.
- E.
Access to a DNS server is not available.
Correct Answer(s)
B. The Jax router does not have an entry for Atlanta in its host table.
E. Access to a DNS server is not available.Explanation
The first reason for the Telnet connection failure could be that the Jax router does not have an entry for Atlanta in its host table. This means that the Jax router does not know the IP address associated with the hostname "Atlanta" and therefore cannot establish a connection.
The second reason could be that access to a DNS server is not available. A DNS server is responsible for resolving hostnames to their corresponding IP addresses. If the Jax router does not have access to a DNS server, it will be unable to resolve the hostname "Atlanta" to its IP address, resulting in a failed Telnet connection.Rate this question:

- F.
Flash contains boot system commands to identify the location of the IOS.
Correct Answer(s)
B. ROM contains diagnostic self test procedures executed on hardware modules.
D. Flash memory does not lose its contents when a router is powered off.Explanation
The first correct statement is that ROM contains diagnostic self test procedures executed on hardware modules. ROM, or Read-Only Memory, is a type of memory that contains permanent instructions or data that cannot be modified. In the case of a router, ROM holds the diagnostic self test procedures that are executed to check the hardware modules during the boot sequence.
The second correct statement is that Flash memory does not lose its contents when a router is powered off. Flash memory is a type of non-volatile memory that retains its data even when the power is turned off. In a router, the IOS (Internetwork Operating System) is typically stored in the Flash memory, allowing the router to retain its operating system and configurations even after a power cycle.Rate this question:

Which router component holds the routing table, ARP cache, and running configuration file?
- A.
RAM
- B.
Flash
- C.
NVRAM
- D.
ROM
Correct Answer
A. RAMExplanation
RAM stands for Random Access Memory, which is a type of computer memory that is used to store data that is actively being used by the router. It is a volatile memory, meaning that its contents are lost when the router is powered off or restarted. The routing table, ARP cache, and running configuration file are all important data that need to be quickly accessible by the router during its operation, so they are stored in RAM. Therefore, RAM is the correct answer for the component that holds these data.Rate this question:
