    Acknowledgements, sequencing, and flow control are functions that are handled by which layer of the OSI model?

    • Layer 5

    • Layer 4

    • Layer 7

    • Layer 6

    • Layer 3

    Correct Answer
    A. Layer 4
    Explanation
    Layer 4 of the OSI model is responsible for the functions of acknowledgements, sequencing, and flow control. This layer is known as the Transport Layer. It ensures that data is delivered reliably and in the correct order by providing error detection and correction, as well as managing the flow of data between the source and destination.

    Two Certkiller offices are connected as shown below:Two buildings on the London campus of a the Certkiller corporation must be connected to use Ethernet with a bandwidth of at least 100 Mbps. Certkiller is concerned about possible problems from voltage potential differences between the two buildings. Which media type should be used for the connection? - ProProfs

    Two Certkiller offices are connected as shown below:Two buildings on the London campus of a the Certkiller corporation must be connected to use Ethernet with a bandwidth of at least 100 Mbps. Certkiller is concerned about possible problems from voltage potential differences between the two buildings. Which media type should be used for the connection?

    • Coaxial cable

    • Fiber optic cable

    • UTP cable

    • STP cable

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Fiber optic cable
    Explanation
    Current Ethernet technololgy typically comes via either copper UTP or fiber ccables. In this scenario the distance between the buildings is only 55 meters so either copper or fiber could be used, as the distance limitation for 100M UTP Ethernet is 100 meters. However, fiber would be a better fit as it is not prone to errors that could occur due to the voltage potential differences. Because fiber is a dielectric material, it's not susceptible to electrical interference. FO-product vendors also claim that fiber systems make secure communications easier. Interference immunity and lack of emissions are givens in FO systems and in the fiber medium itself.

    Which protocol below uses TCP port 443 at layer 4?

    • HTML

    • HTTPS

    • TFTP

    • Telnet

    • SMTP

    Correct Answer
    A. HTTPS
    Explanation
    HTTPS is the secured version of the HTTP application, which normally uses 128 bit SSL encryption to secure the information sent and received on a web page. An example is a banking web site, or a trustworthy shopping web site that takes credit card information. It is an application layer protocol which uses TCP port 443. Incorrect Answers: A. HTML is not a protocol. C. TFTP uses UDP port 69. D. Telnet uses TCP port 23. E. SMTP uses TCP port 25.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    You have set up an Internet based FTP server, where people can upload and download files. In terms of the OSI model, what is the highest layer used during the FTP sessions.

    • Application

    • Presentation

    • Session

    • Transport

    • Internet

    Correct Answer
    A. Application
    Explanation
    The application layer is the highest layer (layer 7) of the OSI model, and is reserved for end user applications. Since FTP is itself an application, layer 7 is the highest layer used. Incorrect Answers: B, C, D, E, F, G. In any given FTP session, all of these layers will be used at some point but they are incorrect because the question asked for the highest layer used by FTP.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Both switches and hubs are being utilized within the Certkiller network. Which of the following is true regarding the use of switches and hubs for network connectivity in this network?

    • A. Switches take less time to process frames than hubs take

    • B. Hubs can filter frames

    • C. Switches do not forward broadcasts

    • D. Switches increase the number of collision domains in the network

    • E. Using hubs can increase the amount of bandwidth available to hosts

    Correct Answer
    A. D. Switches increase the number of collision domains in the network
    Explanation
    Switches increase the number of collision domains in the network. This means that each port on a switch is its own collision domain, whereas with hubs, all ports are in the same collision domain. By dividing the network into multiple collision domains, switches can reduce the chances of collisions occurring and improve network performance.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which OSI layer is associated with the following: The acknowledgement of transmissions, sequencing, and flow control across a network?

    • Layer 2

    • Layer 3

    • Layer 4

    • Layer 5

    • Layer 6

    Correct Answer
    A. Layer 4
    Explanation
    The Transport layer (Layer 4) defines several functions, including the choice of protocols. The most important Layer 4 functions are error recovery and flow control. The transport layer may provide for retransmission, i.e., error recovery, and may use flow control to prevent unnecessary congestion by attempting to send data at a rate that the network can accommodate, or it might not, depending on the choice of protocols. Multiplexing of incoming data for different flows to applications on the same host is also performed. Reordering of the incoming data stream when packets arrive out of order is included. Examples include: TCP, UDP, and SPX.

    • Layer 2

    • Layer 3

    • Layer 4

    • Layer 5

    Correct Answer
    A. Layer 3
    Explanation
    IP Addressing and IP routing resides on the OSI Network layer, which is layer 3.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    When files are transferred between a host and an FTP server, the data is divided into smaller pieces for transmission. As these pieces arrive at the destination host, they must be reassembled to reconstruct the original file. What provides for the reassembly of these pieces into the correct order?

    • The sequence number in the TCP header

    • The Start Frame Delimiter in the 802.3 Preamble

    • The TTL in the IP header

    • The acknowledgement number in the segment header

    • The frame check sequence in the Ethernet frame trailer

    Correct Answer
    A. The sequence number in the TCP header
    Explanation
    The Transport layer can provide reliable networking via acknowledgments, sequencing, and flow control. Acknowledgments Delivered segments are acknowledged to the sender. If they are not acknowledged, the sender will retransmit. Sequencing Data segments are sequenced into their original order when they arrive at the destination. Flow Control Provides buffer controls that prevent packet flooding to the destination host. Buffers store bursts of data for processing when the transmission is complete. Layer 4 protocols include the following: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Sequenced Packet Exchange (SPX)A reliable communications protocol created by Novell NetWare

    Which OSI layer header contains the address of a destination host that is on another network?

    • Application

    • Presentation

    • Session

    • Transport

    • Network

    Correct Answer
    A. Network
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Network because the Network layer header contains the address of a destination host that is on another network. This layer is responsible for routing and addressing packets, ensuring that they are delivered to the correct destination across different networks. The Network layer header includes the source and destination IP addresses, which are used to determine the path the packet should take to reach its destination.

    You work as a network technician at Certkiller .com. You have been assigned the task of designing a new Certkiller internetwork. The main priority is to minimize the link costs. Certkiller .at the same time wants to ensure the branch offices with direct connectity to the main site. Which of the following four designs is to be preferred?

    • Design Certkiller A

    • Design Certkiller B

    • Design Certkiller C

    • Design Certkiller D

    Correct Answer
    A. Design Certkiller C
    Explanation
    Every network looks for cost efficiency. Redundancy is often sacrificed on the altar of monthly cost. Thus, the hub and spoke Frame Relay network design is one of the more common. In this configuration, you pick a centralized location (most likely, your largest, most connected office) as the "hub" of the network. All other locations are considered "spokes" and have a single virtual circuit connection back to the hub. The major advantage of this configuration is the cost. It offers the cheapest monthly price tag, which cost-cutting corporations enjoy. The disadvantages are beginning to mount against this design, however. The redundancy is sorely lacking. If a single router (the central router) loses connectivity for any reason (if the router crashes, if a trenching company cuts through the line), your entire WAN goes down. The other disadvantage of this design is beginning to eclipse even redundancy. It is the disadvantage of tandem switching. Any time the spoke offices need to reach each other, they must go through the hub office.

    Certkiller is installing IP phones in a new office. The phones and office computers connect to the same device. To ensure maximum throughout for the phone data sessions, the company needs to make sure that the phone traffic is on a different network from that of the office computer data traffic. What is the best network device to which to directly connect the phones and computers and what technology should be implemented on this device? (Choose two)

    • VLAN

    • Subinterface

    • STP

    • Hub

    • Switch

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. VLAN
    A. Switch
    Explanation
    The best network device to directly connect the phones and computers is a switch. A switch allows for the creation of virtual LANs (VLANs) which can separate the phone traffic from the office computer data traffic. By implementing VLANs on the switch, the company can ensure that the phone data sessions have maximum throughput without interfering with the office computer data traffic.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    A receiving host has failed to receive all of the segments that it should acknowledge. What can the host do to improve the reliability of this communication session?

    • Start a new session using UDP

    • Obtain a new IP address from the DHCP server

    • Use a different source port for the session

    • Decrease the sequence number

    • Decrease the window size

    Correct Answer
    A. Decrease the window size
    Explanation
    A TCP window the amount of outstanding (unacknowledged by the recipient) data a sender can send on a particular connection before it gets an acknowledgment back from the receiver that it has gotten some of it. For example if a pair of hosts are talking over a TCP connection that has a TCP window size of 64 KB (kilobytes), the sender can only send 64 KB of data and then it must stop and wait for an acknowledgment from the receiver that some or all of the data has been received. If the receiver acknowledges that all the data has been received then the sender is free to send another 64 KB. One way to improve the reliability of the TCP connection is to reduce the window size that the receiver needs to receive before sending an acknowledgement. However, this will reduce throughput as more segments and acknowledgements will need to be sent in order to transfer the same amount of data.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Which one of the following characteristics is true regarding the use of hubs and switches?

    • Hubs can have their ports be configured with VLANs

    • Using hubs is costly with regard to bandwidth availability.

    • Switches can not forward broadcasts.

    • Switches are more efficient than hubs in processing frames.

    • Switches increase the number of collision domains in the network.

    Correct Answer
    A. Switches increase the number of collision domains in the network.
    Explanation
    Switches increases the number of collisions domains in the network. Switches that are configured with VLANs will reduce the size of the collision domains by increasing the number of collision domains in a network, but making them smaller than that of one big, flat network.

    The Certkiller network administrator needs to determine what LAN devices to install on the Certkiller network. What are two advantages of using Layer 2 Ethernet switches over hubs? (Choose two)

    • Allowing simultaneous frame transmissions

    • Increasing the size of broadcast domains

    • Increasing the maximum length of UTP cabling between devices

    • Filtering frames based on MAC addresses

    • Decreasing the number of collision domains

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Allowing simultaneous frame transmissions
    A. Filtering frames based on MAC addresses
    Explanation
    A: A half duplex connection is where only one device can send or receive at a time. A full duplex connection is where both devices can send and receive at the same time. Thus, if you have a 100Mb half-duplex connection, only sending at 100Mb OR receiving at 100Mb can happen at the same time. If you have a 100Mb full duplex connection, you can effectively get 200Mb out of the link because you could be sending 100Mb and receiving 100Mb at the same time. D: Switches are capable of filtering frames based on any Layer 2 fields. For example, a switch can be programmed to reject (not forward) all frames sourced from a particular network. Because link layer information often includes a reference to an upper-layer protocol, switches usually can filter on this parameter. Furthermore, filters can be helpful in dealing with unnecessary broadcast and multicast packets.

    • Physical

    • Session

    • Data link

    • Transport

    • Network

    Correct Answer
    A. Network
    Explanation
    A logical path is created between two host systems at the Network layer of the OSI model. This layer is responsible for routing and addressing, ensuring that data packets are correctly delivered from the source to the destination. Therefore, the logical path between host systems CK1 and CK2 on the Certkiller LAN would be established at the Network layer.

    As the Certkiller network administrator, you are required to have a firm understanding of the OSI model. Why does the data communication industry use the layered OSI reference model? (Choose two)

    • It enables equipment from different vendors to use the same electronic components, thus saving research and development funds

    • It encourages industry standardization by defining what functions occur at each layer of the model

    • It divides the network communication process into smaller and simpler components; thus aiding component development, design and troubleshooting

    • It provides a means by which changes in functionality in one layer require changes in other layers

    • It supports the evolution of multiple competing standards and thus provides business opportunities for equipment manufacturers

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. It encourages industry standardization by defining what functions occur at each layer of the model
    A. It divides the network communication process into smaller and simpler components; thus aiding component development, design and troubleshooting
    Explanation
    The OSI (Open System Interconnection) reference model was created as a reference point for communications devices. A layered approach is used to segment the entire telecommunications process into a series of smaller steps. A is correct because it encourages a level of standardization by encouraging that functions be compared to known layers. D is also correct because it allows engineers to focus on the development, refining, and perfection of simpler components.

    • A CSU/DSU terminates a digital local loop.

    • A router is commonly considered a DCE device.

    • A modem terminates an analog local loop.

    • A router is commonly considered a DTE device.

    • A modem terminates a digital local loop.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A CSU/DSU terminates a digital local loop.
    A. A modem terminates an analog local loop.
    A. A router is commonly considered a DTE device.
    Explanation
    A CSU/DSU terminates a digital local loop. This means that it connects the customer's equipment to the service provider's network by converting the digital signals from the customer's equipment into a format that can be transmitted over the digital local loop.

    A modem terminates an analog local loop. This means that it connects the customer's equipment to the service provider's network by converting the analog signals from the customer's equipment into a format that can be transmitted over the analog local loop.

    A router is commonly considered a DTE device. DTE stands for Data Terminal Equipment, and a router is a device that connects multiple networks together and directs traffic between them. It is commonly considered a DTE device because it is the endpoint of a communication circuit.

    In summary, a CSU/DSU terminates a digital local loop, a modem terminates an analog local loop, and a router is commonly considered a DTE device.

    Both bridges are switches are being used throughout the Certkiller LAN. Which of the following statements are true regarding bridges and switches in this network? (Choose 3)

    • Switches are primarily software based while bridges are hardware based.

    • Switches usually have a higher number of ports than most bridges.

    • Bridges are frequently faster than switches.

    • Both bridges and switches forward Layer 2 broadcasts.

    • Both bridges and switches make forwarding decisions based on Layer 2 addresses.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Switches usually have a higher number of ports than most bridges.
    A. Both bridges and switches forward Layer 2 broadcasts.
    A. Both bridges and switches make forwarding decisions based on Layer 2 addresses.
    Explanation
    Switches usually have a higher number of ports than most bridges because switches are designed to connect multiple devices within a LAN, so they need to support more connections. Both bridges and switches forward Layer 2 broadcasts because they operate at the data link layer of the OSI model, which includes the handling of broadcast traffic. Both bridges and switches make forwarding decisions based on Layer 2 addresses because they use MAC addresses to determine where to forward data packets within the network.

    You have just installed a new web server on the Certkiller network. You are required to ensure that the web server is accessible from the Internet. The network uses private addressing, so an IP-to-registered address mapping is required. To do this, you enter the following command: Certkiller (config)# ip nat inside source static 192.168.2.1 198.18.1.254 You unsuccessfully try to ping the Internet from a PC host on the LAN. During the troubleshooting process, you enter the "show ip nat translations" command but the output is blank. What is the most likely cause of the problem?

    • The keyword overload is missing from the command.

    • The NAT pool must be defined first.

    • An access list must be defined to create static NAT translations.

    • The interfaces must be configured for NAT.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The interfaces must be configured for NAT.
    Explanation
    In order to successfully configure a static NAT translation, the interfaces must be configured for NAT, in addition to the global NAT command that was entered. The router interface that lies on the inside part of the network must be defined using the "ip nat inside" command. Similarly, the WAN interface that is being used for the Internet connection must be defined using the "ip nat outside" command. Incorrect Answers: A. In order to make an internal server reachable from the Internet, a static one to one NAT entry must be configured for the server. The keyword "overload" is used to configure many to one NAT, or PAT. B, C. This need not be done in order to create a static NAT entry. These steps are typically done in setting up NAT so that inside LAN users can access the Internet via NAT.

    Which of the protocols below use TCP at the transport layer? (Select four)

    • TFTP

    • SMTP

    • FTP

    • HTTP

    • HTTPS

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. SMTP
    A. FTP
    A. HTTP
    A. HTTPS
    Explanation
    SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Profile for email), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and HTTP/HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol for internet) all use TCP because of the reliable delivery mechanism. SMTP uses TCP port 25, FTP uses TCP ports 20 and 21, HTTP uses TCP port 80, and HTTPS uses TCP port 443. Incorrect Answers: A, C: SNMP and TFTP use UDP as the transport mechanism. Generally speaking, protocols that use the keywords "trivial" or "simple" uses UDP, since connectionless, best effort delivery mechanism usually suffice.

    Explanation
    Required Number of hosts :50 When We use the 26 bits for Network : 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000 so 62 usable host can be in one network. 50 host for now and remaining hosts address for further growth. Network 2 Required Number of Hosts: 20
    When we use the 27 bits for Network: 11111111.11111111.1111111.11100000 so 30 usable hosts can be in one network. Network 3 Required Number of Hosts: 10
    When we use the 28 bits for Network: 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000 so 14 usable hosts can be in one network. Connection between CK1 , CK2 and CK3 is WAN so when you use 30 bits network IP, you will not lose any IP addresses from network since this subnet allows for only 2 host addresses.

    Explanation
    When packets leave from the host, the packets contains the source MAC and IP of the host address. The source and destination IP address will not change. Because the host knows that the destination is on another subnet, it will forward the packet to the default gateway device, so the destination MAC address will be of the default gateway, which is the FA0/0 interface of router Certkiller 3.

    The LAN needs are expanding at the Certkiller corporate office, which is quickly growing. You are instructed to enlarge the area covered by a single LAN segment on the Certkiller network. Which of the following are layer 1 devices that you can use? (Choose all that apply.)

    • A switch

    • A router

    • A network adapter card

    • A hub

    • A repeater

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A hub
    A. A repeater
    Explanation
    A hub simply repeats the electrical signal and makes no attempt to interpret the electrical signal (layer 1) as a LAN frame (Layer 2). So, a hub actually performs OSI layer 1 functions, repeating an electrical signal, whereas a switch performs OSI layer 2 functions, actually interpreting Ethernet header information, particularly addresses, to make forwarding decisions. Hubs can be used to increase the number of stations that can be supported on a LAN. Because the repeater does not interpret what the bits mean, but does examine and generate electrical signals, a repeater is considered to operate at Layer 1. Repeaters can be used to physically extend the LAN to greater distances.

    CDP is being used throughout the Certkiller network. What are two reasons why the Certkiller network administrator would use CDP? (Choose two)

    • To determine the status of network services on a remote device

    • To obtain the IP Address of a connected device in order to telnet to the device

    • To verify the type of cable interconnecting two devices

    • To verify Layer 2 connectivity between two devices when Layer 3 fails

    • To obtain VLAN information from directly connected switches

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. To obtain the IP Address of a connected device in order to telnet to the device
    A. To verify Layer 2 connectivity between two devices when Layer 3 fails
    Explanation
    CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to gather information about directly connected Cisco devices. By using CDP, the Certkiller network administrator can obtain the IP Address of a connected device in order to telnet to it, allowing for remote management and configuration. Additionally, CDP can be used to verify Layer 2 connectivity between two devices when Layer 3 fails, helping to troubleshoot and diagnose network connectivity issues.

    The Certkiller network consists of a small office with twenty-five employees that has one connection to the Internet through the CK1 router. What routing configurations are recommended on the CK1 and ISP routers?

    • BGP on both the routers.

    • RIP on both the routers.

    • Default routes on both routers.

    • BGP on the ISP router and a static route on CK1 .

    • A default route on CK1 and a static route on the ISP router.

    Correct Answer
    A. A default route on CK1 and a static route on the ISP router.
    Explanation
    Since private network use RFC 1918 IP address ranges internally, and because of security reasons, it is generally not possible to use an interior routing protocol with the ISP. This eliminates choice B. When connecting to an ISP, usually only BGP or static routes are supported. In this case, since there is only one connection to the Internet, BGP is not needed so choices A and D can be eliminated. A static default route would be needed on router CK1 to route to the Internet. In turn, the ISP only needs a specific static route to reach the LAN of the Certkiller network. Incorrect Answers: A, D: BGP is not needed on networks that contain only a single link to the Internet. B. Interior routing protocols are generally not supported with an ISP. C. A default route on the ISP router would send all of their customers Internet traffic to the Certkiller network, and not the Internet.

    Explanation
    When packets leave from the host, the packets contains the source MAC and IP of the host address. The source and destination IP address will not change (if it did, the router devices would not know where to send the data). Because the host knows that the destination is on another subnet, it will forward the packet to the default gateway device, so the destination MAC address will be of the default gateway, which is the LAN interface of router Certkiller 1.

    • A router connected to the switches with straight-through cables

    Correct Answer
    A. A router connected to the switches with straight-through cables
    Explanation
    Routers are Layers 3 devices used for inter-network communication. In this scenario there are two different networks, so both switches need to connect to a router using straight-through cables. A straight-through cable is used to connect two different devices like, switch to router, host to switch. Since we need to insert a router for communication between the two switches, straight through cables will be used between the switches and the router.

    • The destination port number in a segment header will have a value of 80

    • The destination IP address of a packet will be the IP address of the E0 interface of the Certkiller 1 router

    • The destination IP address of a packet will be the IP address of the network interface of the Certkiller II server

    • The destination address of a frame will be the MAC address of the E0 interface of Certkiller 1 router

    Correct Answer(s)

    A. The destination IP address of a packet will be the IP address of the network interface of the Certkiller II server
    A. The destination address of a frame will be the MAC address of the E0 interface of Certkiller 1 router
    Explanation
    The first statement is correct because the destination port number in a segment header for HTTP traffic is typically 80. The second statement is incorrect because the destination IP address of a packet sent from Host Certkiller to Certkiller II will be the IP address of the network interface of the Certkiller II server, not the E0 interface of Certkiller 1 router. The third statement is correct because the destination IP address of a packet sent from Host Certkiller to Certkiller II will be the IP address of the network interface of the Certkiller II server.

    Explanation
    There are two ways to inject a default route into a normal area. 1. If the ASBR already has the default route in its routing table, you can advertise the existing 0.0.0.0/0 into the OSPF domain with the default-information originate router configuration command. 2. If the ASBR doesn't have a default route, you can add the keyword always to the default-information originate command (default-information originate always). This command will advertise a default route into the OSPF domain, regardless of whether it has a route to 0.0.0.0. Another benefit of adding always keyword is that it can add stability to the internetwork. For example, if the ASBR is learning a default route from another routing domain such as RIP and this route is flapping, then without the always keyword, each time the route flaps, the ASBR will send a new Type 5 LSA into the OSPF domain causing some instability inside the OSPF domain. With the always keyword, the ASBR will advertise the default inside the OSPF domain always, and thus the flapping of the default route from the RIP domain will not cause any instability inside the OSPF domain. In the example shown here, only choice D is correct as the wildcard mask correctly specifies the 10.10.2.16 0.0.0.15 networks, which include all IP addresses in the 10.10.2.16-10.10.2.31 range.

    Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a Layer 2 protocol that utilizes a special-purpose algorithm to discover physical loops in a network and effect a logical loop-free topology. STP creates a loop-free tree structure consisting of leaves and branches that span the entire Layer 2 network. The actual mechanics of how bridges communicate and how the STP algorithm works will be discussed at length in the following topics. Note that the terms bridge and switch are used interchangeably when discussing STP. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, connections between switches are assumed to be trunks. STP keeps the port either in block or in forward states, when forward port disconnect then within the less then a minute blocked port comes into forward state so packets starts to go through new forward port. The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) would identify the best path as well as alternate path to reach in proper destination. In a redundant link, if the primary link fails then the secondary links will automatically start after few minutes. If port Fa0/9 became disconnected, then the packets would be re-routed automatically using the Certkiller A- Certkiller 2- Certkiller 3 path.

    As the question states that serial line is up, it means the problem is not on the Network layer. The administrator cannot see any output by issuing the show cdp neighbors command. It means that CDP is disabled and CDP is a protocol that runs over Layer2 (the data link layer) on all Cisco routers, bridges, access servers, and switches
