When connectionless protocols are implemented at the lower layers of the OSI model, what is usually used to acknowledge that the data was received and to request the retransmission of missing data?
- A.
IP
- B.
UDP
- C.
Ethernet
- D.
A connectionless acknowledgement
- E.
An upper-layer, connection-oriented protocol or service
Correct Answer
E. An upper-layer, connection-oriented protocol or serviceExplanation
When connectionless protocols are implemented at the lower layers of the OSI model, an upper-layer, connection-oriented protocol or service is usually used to acknowledge that the data was received and to request the retransmission of missing data. This is because connectionless protocols, such as IP and UDP, do not provide built-in mechanisms for acknowledging the receipt of data or requesting retransmission. Instead, they rely on higher-layer protocols or services to handle these functions. These upper-layer protocols or services establish a connection between the sender and receiver, ensuring reliable delivery of data.Rate this question:

- E.
Connection 1 - crossover cable Connection 2 - straight-through cable Connection 3 - crossover cable
Correct Answer
D. Connection 1 - straight-through cable Connection 2 - crossover cable Connection 3 - straight-through cableExplanation
The correct answer is Connection 1 - straight-through cable, Connection 2 - crossover cable, Connection 3 - straight-through cable. This is because a straight-through cable is used to connect a host to a switch or hub, while a crossover cable is used to connect two hosts directly without a switch or hub in between. In this scenario, Connection 1 is between a host and a switch, so a straight-through cable is needed. Connection 2 is between two hosts, so a crossover cable is needed. Connection 3 is between a switch and a router, so a straight-through cable is needed.Rate this question:

255.255.255.0
- F.
255.255.255.128
Correct Answer
D. 255.255.254.0Explanation
The IP address 172.30.0.0 is a Class B address, which has a default subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. However, we need a subnet mask that allows for 510 hosts. To determine the required subnet mask, we need to find the smallest subnet that can accommodate at least 510 hosts.
The subnet mask 255.255.254.0 provides a subnet with 9 bits for host addresses, which allows for 2^9 - 2 = 510 usable host addresses. Therefore, this subnet mask is the correct choice to accommodate 510 hosts within the given IP address range.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. The tracert command is initiated from PC1 to PC4. Which device will send a response to the initial tracert packet from PC1?
- A.
Athens
- B.
Ankara
- C.
London
- D.
Paris
- E.
PC4
Correct Answer
C. LondonExplanation
The tracert command is used to trace the route that packets take from the source to the destination. In this scenario, PC1 is the source and PC4 is the destination. The question asks which device will send a response to the initial tracert packet from PC1. Since the tracert command works by sending packets with increasing TTL (Time to Live) values, each device along the route will decrement the TTL and send back an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the source. Therefore, London, being a device along the route between PC1 and PC4, will send a response to the initial tracert packet from PC1.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. What function does router RT_A need to provide to allow Internet access for hosts in this network?
- A.
Address translation
- B.
DHCP services
- C.
Ftpd
- D.
Web server
Correct Answer
A. Address translationExplanation
Router RT_A needs to provide address translation in order to allow Internet access for hosts in this network. Address translation, also known as Network Address Translation (NAT), is a process that allows multiple devices in a private network to share a single public IP address. This is necessary because the private IP addresses used within the network are not routable on the Internet. By performing address translation, RT_A can map the private IP addresses of the hosts to the public IP address assigned to the router, enabling communication with the Internet.Rate this question:

Which two actions could be taken by a router if a specific match is not made to a route in the routing table?
- A.
The packet will be discarded.
- B.
The packet will be sent back to the source.
- C.
The packet will be flooded out all interfaces.
- D.
Neighboring routers are polled to find the best path.
- E.
The packet will be forwarded to a default route if one is present.
Correct Answer(s)
D. Neighboring routers are polled to find the best path.
E. The packet will be forwarded to a default route if one is present.Explanation
If a specific match is not made to a route in the routing table, the router will first poll neighboring routers to find the best path. This is done to ensure that the router is not missing any potential routes that may not be present in its own routing table. If a suitable route is still not found, the router will then forward the packet to a default route if one is present. This default route acts as a fallback option for packets that do not have a specific matching route in the routing table.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator remotely accesses the CLI of RouterB from PC1 using a secure connection. Which statement is true about this connection?
- A.
The Telnet server process is running on PC1.
- B.
Only the exchange of the Telnet username and password is encrypted.
- C.
The GET request is sent to RouterA to retrieve data.
- D.
The SSH service is used to connect PC1 to RouterB.
Correct Answer
B. Only the exchange of the Telnet username and password is encrypted.Explanation
The correct answer is "Only the exchange of the Telnet username and password is encrypted." This means that while the Telnet connection between PC1 and RouterB is established, only the username and password information is encrypted. The rest of the data exchanged between the two devices is not encrypted, making it potentially vulnerable to interception and unauthorized access. It is recommended to use SSH instead of Telnet for secure remote access.Rate this question:
