A PC user turns on her computer, and as soon as the computer is up and working, she opens a web browser to browse http://www.ciscopress.com. Which protocol(s) would definitely not be used by the PC during this process?
- A.
DHCP
- B.
DNS
- C.
ARP
- D.
ICMP
Correct Answer
D. ICMPExplanation
The host might need to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to acquire an IP address, and it would likely use Domain Name System (DNS) to resolve www.ciscopress.com into an IP address. It would also use Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to find the default gateway’s MAC address, because the ARP cache would have
been cleared as part of the boot process.Rate this question:

A PC user turns on her computer, and as soon as the computer is up and working, she opens a command prompt. From there, she issues the ping 2.2.2.2 command, and the ping shows 100 percent success. The PC’s IP address is 1.1.1.1 with mask 255.255.255.0. Which of the following settings would be required on the PC to support the successful ping?
- A.
The IP address of a DNS server
- B.
The IP address of a default gateway
- C.
The IP address of an ARP server
- D.
The IP address of a DHCP server
Correct Answer
B. The IP address of a default gatewayExplanation
The ping 2.1.1.2 command does not use a host name, so no DNS server is required. A DHCP client does not need to know the DHCP server’s IP address to use DHCP. There’s no such thing as an ARP server. However, to send the packet to another subnet,the PC needs to know the IP address of its default gateway.Rate this question:

Which of the following is affected by whether a router is performing classful or classless routing?
- A.
When to use a default route
- B.
When to use masks in routing updates
- C.
When to convert a packet’s destination IP address to a network number
- D.
When to perform queuing based on the classification of a packet into a particular queue
Correct Answer
A. When to use a default routeExplanation
The correct answer is "When to use a default route." This is because the decision to use a default route or not is influenced by whether a router is performing classful or classless routing. In classful routing, a default route is used when there is no specific route for a destination network. In classless routing, a default route is used as a backup or last resort when there are no more specific routes available for a destination network. Therefore, the choice of using a default route is affected by the routing protocol and its classification as classful or classless.Rate this question:

A router has been configured with the ip classless global configuration command. The router receives a packet destined to IP address 168.13.4.1. The following text lists the contents of the router’s routing table. Which of the following is true about how this router forwards the packet?
- A.
It is forwarded to 168.13.100.3.
- B.
It is forwarded to 168.13.1.101.
- C.
It is forwarded out interface Fa0/0, directly to the destination host.
- D.
The router discards the packet.
Correct Answer
B. It is forwarded to 168.13.1.101.Explanation
With classless routing enabled, the router uses the default route if no other routes are matched. The line beginning “Gateway of last resort . . .” lists the IP address of the next-hop router, 168.13.1.101, which will be used as the default route.Rate this question:

Which of the following routing protocols support VLSM?
- A.
RIP-1
- B.
RIP-2
- C.
EIGRP
- D.
OSPF
Correct Answer(s)
B. RIP-2
C. EIGRP
D. OSPFExplanation
RIP-2, EIGRP, and OSPF are the routing protocols that support VLSM. VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking) allows the use of different subnet mask lengths within the same network, which helps in efficient utilization of IP addresses. RIP-1 does not support VLSM as it only uses classful routing, where the subnet mask is fixed for all subnets. However, RIP-2, EIGRP, and OSPF support VLSM by allowing the use of different subnet masks for different subnets within the network.Rate this question:
-
- 8.
What does the acronym VLSM stand for?
- A.
Variable-length subnet mask
- B.
Very long subnet mask
- C.
Vociferous longitudinal subnet mask
- D.
Vector-length subnet mask
- E.
Vector loop subnet mask
Correct Answer
A. Variable-length subnet maskExplanation
Note that sometimes VLSM stands for variable-length subnet masking, which refers to the process of using different masks in the same classful network, whereas variablelength subnet mask refers to the subnet masks themselves.Rate this question:

Which of the following routing protocols support manual route summarization?
- A.
RIP-1
- B.
RIP-2
- C.
EIGRP
- D.
OSPF
Correct Answer(s)
B. RIP-2
C. EIGRP
D. OSPFExplanation
RIP-2, EIGRP, and OSPF support manual route summarization. Manual route summarization is a technique used to reduce the size of routing tables by aggregating multiple network prefixes into a single summary route. RIP-2, EIGRP, and OSPF allow network administrators to manually configure summary routes, which improves network efficiency and reduces the amount of routing information exchanged between routers.Rate this question:

Which routing protocol(s) perform(s) autosummarization by default?
- A.
RIP-1
- B.
RIP-2
- C.
EIGRP
- D.
OSPF
Correct Answer(s)
A. RIP-1
B. RIP-2
C. EIGRPExplanation
RIP-1, RIP-2, and EIGRP perform autosummarization by default. Autosummarization is a feature in routing protocols that allows the summarization of multiple subnets into a single summarized route. This helps in reducing the size of the routing table and conserving network resources. OSPF, on the other hand, does not perform autosummarization by default.Rate this question:

An internetwork has a discontiguous network 10.0.0.0, and it is having problems. All routers use RIP-1 with all default configurations. Which of the following answers lists an action that, by itself, would solve the problem and allow the discontiguous network?
- A.
Migrate all routers to use OSPF, using as many defaults as is possible.
- B.
Disable autosummarization with the no auto-summary RIP configuration command.
- C.
Migrate to EIGRP, using as many defaults as is possible.
- D.
The problem cannot be solved without first making network 10.0.0.0 contiguous.
Correct Answer
A. Migrate all routers to use OSPF, using as many defaults as is possible.Explanation
Discontiguous networks are allowed as long as autosummarization is disabled. OSPF does not even support autosummarization, so using OSPF would solve the problem. RIP-1 cannot disable autosummarization. EIGRP can disable autosummarization, but it is on by default.Rate this question:
