Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    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 location
    Explanation
    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.

    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.

  • 5. 

    Which device connects a local LAN to a geographically separate network?

    • A.

      Switch

    • B.

      Hub

    • C.

      Router

    • D.

      Bridge

    Correct Answer
    C. Router
    Explanation
    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:

  • 6. 

    • 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:

  • 7. 

    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 addresses
    Explanation
    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.

What would the result be if the telnet 10.0.2.2 command is issued from Switch1 privileged mode?

    • A.

      The following prompt would appear: user access verification Password:

    • B.

      Switch2 would return a destination unreachable message to Switch1.

    • C.

      Router1 would return a destination unreachable message to Switch1.

    • D.

      The packet would be dropped.

    Correct Answer
    D. The packet would be dropped.
    Explanation
    When the telnet 10.0.2.2 command is issued from Switch1 privileged mode, the packet would be dropped. This is because Switch1 does not have a route to the 10.0.2.0/24 network, which is the network that Switch2 is on. Since there is no route, the packet cannot reach its destination and is therefore dropped.

    Refer to the exhibit. The devices have been configured with static IP addresses as shown. All hosts can communicate with each other but none of the hosts can communicate with the server. What is the cause of this problem? 

    • A.

      The IP address that is assigned to the server is in an incorrect subnet.

    • B.

      The IP address that is assigned to the server is a broadcast address.

    • C.

      The IP address that is assigned to the server is a network address.

    • D.

      The switch to which the server is connected has not been assigned an IP address.

    • E.

      The RouterB LAN interface is incorrectly addressed in the RouterA LAN subnet.

    Correct Answer
    A. The IP address that is assigned to the server is in an incorrect subnet.
    Explanation
    The reason why none of the hosts can communicate with the server is because the IP address assigned to the server is in an incorrect subnet. This means that the server's IP address does not fall within the same range as the other devices in the network. As a result, the server and the other hosts are not able to communicate with each other.

    Rate this question:

    • C.

      1021

    • D.

      2045

    • E.

      4093

    Correct Answer
    E. 4093
    Explanation
    The given IP address has a subnet mask of /20, which means that the first 20 bits of the IP address are fixed and represent the network portion. The remaining 12 bits can be used for host addresses. With 12 bits available, there are 2^12 or 4096 possible host addresses. However, 2 of these addresses are reserved for the network address and the broadcast address, leaving 4094 usable host addresses. Therefore, 4093 more network devices can be added to this subnetwork.

    D. 220.100.100.154
    F. 196.123.142.190
    Explanation
    The subnet mask 255.255.255.248 indicates that the first 29 bits of the IP address are the network portion, and the remaining 3 bits are the host portion. Therefore, the valid host IP addresses are those that have the same first 29 bits as the network address but have different combinations of the last 3 bits. Among the given options, 223.168.210.100, 220.100.100.154, and 196.123.142.190 satisfy this condition and are valid host IP addresses.

    • 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.

    • E.

      ROM contains the most current and most complete version of the IOS.

    • 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.

    • A.

      RAM

    • B.

      Flash

    • C.

      NVRAM

    • D.

      ROM

    Correct Answer
    A. RAM
    Explanation
    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.
