1. How large are IPv4 addresses?
- A.
8 bits
- B.
16 bits
- C.
32 bits
- D.
64 bits
- E.
128
Correct Answer
C. 32 bitsExplanation
IPv4 addresses are 32 bits in size. An IP address is a unique identifier assigned to each device connected to a network. IPv4 addresses consist of four sets of numbers separated by periods, with each set ranging from 0 to 255. The 32-bit size allows for a total of approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses, which has become insufficient with the growth of the internet. This is why IPv6, with its 128-bit size, was introduced to provide a much larger address space.Rate this question:

- A.
a specific host
- B.
a group of hosts
- C.
The default gateway
- D.
The network broadcast address
Correct Answer
A. a specific hostExplanation
A unicast packet is a type of network packet that is sent from one device to a specific destination host. In other words, it is intended for a single recipient. Therefore, the destination IP address used in a unicast packet is the IP address of the specific host to which the packet is being sent.Rate this question:

An address that begins with 01-00-5E in hexadecimal
- D.
A 48-bit hexadecimal address expressed as FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
Correct Answer
C. An address that begins with 01-00-5E in hexadecimalExplanation
The destination MAC address in a multicast Ethernet frame is an address that begins with 01-00-5E in hexadecimal. Multicast addresses are used to send data to a group of devices rather than a single destination. The first 6 bits of the MAC address are fixed and indicate that it is a multicast address, while the remaining bits can be used to identify a specific multicast group.Rate this question:

- A.
Broadcast
- B.
simulcast
- C.
Multicast
- D.
unicast
Correct Answer
D. unicastExplanation
This type of message is a unicast message because Yvonne is talking to her friend on the phone, which is a one-to-one communication. Unicast messages are sent from one sender to one receiver, making it a suitable description for this scenario.Rate this question:
-
- 13.
What information must be included within a unicast message for it to be delivered on an Ethernet network?
- A.
MAC and IP addresses for the default router
- B.
IP address and subnet mask of the default gateway
- C.
MAC and IP addresses that correspond to a destination group
- D.
MAC and IP addresses that correspond to a specific destination host
Correct Answer
D. MAC and IP addresses that correspond to a specific destination hostExplanation
To ensure that a unicast message is delivered on an Ethernet network, the message must include the MAC and IP addresses that correspond to a specific destination host. This is because Ethernet networks use MAC addresses to identify and deliver messages to specific devices on the network, while IP addresses are used for routing the message to the correct network. Including both MAC and IP addresses ensures that the message is correctly addressed and delivered to the intended recipient on the Ethernet network.Rate this question:

A PC obtains its IP address from a DHCP server. If the PC is taken off the network for repair, what happens to the IP address configuration?
- A.
The configuration is permanent and nothing changes.
- B.
The address is returned to the pool for reuse when the lease expires.
- C.
The configuration is held by the server to be reissued when the PC is returned.
Correct Answer
B. The address is returned to the pool for reuse when the lease expires.Explanation
When a PC is taken off the network for repair, its IP address configuration is not held by the server. Instead, the address is returned to the pool for reuse when the lease expires. This means that when the PC is back on the network, it will be assigned a new IP address from the pool by the DHCP server.Rate this question:

- 15.
Which type of server dynamically assigns an IP address to a host?
- A.
ARP
- B.
DHCP
- C.
DNS
- D.
RARP
Correct Answer
B. DHCPExplanation
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a network protocol that allows a server to dynamically assign IP addresses to hosts on a network. This means that when a device connects to the network, it can request an IP address from the DHCP server, which will then assign an available IP address to that device. This allows for efficient management of IP addresses and simplifies the process of connecting devices to a network.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
B. The destination IP address is 255.255.255.255.
D. The message comes from a client seeking an IP address.
E. All hosts receive the message, but only a DHCP server replies.Explanation
A DHCP Discover message is sent by a client seeking an IP address. The destination IP address for this message is 255.255.255.255, which is the broadcast address, indicating that the message is intended for all hosts on the network. All hosts receive the message, but only a DHCP server replies to offer an IP address.Rate this question:

Refer to the graphic. A host connects to a Linksys integrated router that is also a DHCP server and receives an IP address from it. Which address does the host need to access the ISP and the Internet?
- A.
IP address of the destination host
- B.
public gateway IP address of the ISP
- C.
External IP address of the integrated router that connects to the ISP
- D.
Internal IP address of the integrated router that connects to the local network
Correct Answer
D. Internal IP address of the integrated router that connects to the local networkExplanation
The host needs to access the ISP and the Internet through the internal IP address of the integrated router that connects to the local network. This is because the integrated router acts as a gateway for the host to connect to the ISP and the Internet. The internal IP address of the router allows the host to establish a connection and communicate with devices within the local network.Rate this question:
-

Which statement is true concerning private IP addresses?
- A.
Ensures that two networks separated by the Internet use unique IP network numbers
- B.
Allows internal hosts to communicate with servers across the Internet
- C.
Solves the issue of a finite number of available public IP addresses
- D.
allows for ISPs to be able to quickly determine network location
Correct Answer
C. Solves the issue of a finite number of available public IP addressesExplanation
Private IP addresses solve the issue of a finite number of available public IP addresses. Public IP addresses are limited, and using private IP addresses allows for more efficient use of these limited resources. Private IP addresses are used within a local network and are not directly accessible from the internet. This allows multiple devices within a network to share a single public IP address, reducing the demand for public IP addresses.Rate this question:

What is one of the purposes of NAT?
- A.
filters network traffic based on IP address ranges
- B.
Prevents external users from detecting the IP addresses used on a network
- C.
inspects traffic that might be harmful or used in an attack against the network
- D.
Translates IP addresses into easy-to-remember domain names
Correct Answer
B. Prevents external users from detecting the IP addresses used on a networkExplanation
NAT (Network Address Translation) is a technique used to hide the internal IP addresses of a network from external users. By translating the internal IP addresses into a single public IP address, it prevents external users from detecting the actual IP addresses used on the network. This adds an extra layer of security by making it difficult for potential attackers to directly access the internal network.Rate this question:
-
- 20.
Which two statements describe packets that are sent through a Linksys integrated router using NAT? (Choose two.)
- A.
Packets that are sent to hosts on the same network need to be translated.
- B.
Packets that are sent to a destination outside the local network need to be translated.
- C.
Packets that are sent to a destination outside a local network do not need to be translated.
- D.
Packets that are sent between hosts on the same local network do not need to be translated.
Correct Answer(s)
B. Packets that are sent to a destination outside the local network need to be translated.
D. Packets that are sent between hosts on the same local network do not need to be translated.Explanation
When using Network Address Translation (NAT) on a Linksys integrated router, packets that are sent to a destination outside the local network need to be translated. This is because the router acts as a gateway between the local network and the external network, and the source IP address of the packets needs to be changed to the public IP address of the router. On the other hand, packets that are sent between hosts on the same local network do not need to be translated, as they are already within the same network and can communicate directly without the need for NAT.Rate this question:

Refer to the graphic. NAT and DHCP are installed on the Linksys integrated router. Which IP address is most likely to be assigned to the local computer, Host1?
- A.
10.0.0.17
- B.
128.107.1.2
- C.
192.135.250.0
- D.
209.165.201.1
Correct Answer
A. 10.0.0.17Explanation
The most likely IP address assigned to the local computer, Host1, is 10.0.0.17. This is because NAT (Network Address Translation) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) are installed on the Linksys integrated router. NAT allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address, and DHCP is responsible for assigning IP addresses to devices on the network. Since the router is configured to handle DHCP, it is likely that it will assign an IP address from its local network range, which in this case is 10.0.0.0/24, to the local computer Host1.Rate this question:
