When a node receives a RA, what flag is required to be set to "on" in order for the node to perform SLAAC?
- A.
A Flag
- B.
M flag
- C.
R flag
- D.
S flag
Correct Answer
A. A FlagExplanation
The A Flag, also known as the Autonomous Flag, needs to be set to "on" in order for the node to perform Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). SLAAC is a method used by IPv6 hosts to automatically configure their own unique IPv6 addresses without the need for manual configuration or DHCP servers. The A Flag indicates whether the host is allowed to use SLAAC to generate its own addresses. If the A Flag is set to "off", the host will not perform SLAAC and will instead rely on other methods to obtain its IPv6 address.Rate this question:

DHCP manages only IP addresses
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) does not only manage IP addresses, but also other network configuration settings such as subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses. It is responsible for automatically assigning and managing these settings to devices on a network, making it easier to configure and manage large networks. Therefore, the statement that DHCP only manages IP addresses is false.Rate this question:

Which of the following terms describes a single group of IP addresses managed by DHCP?
- A.
Address pool
- B.
Address group
- C.
Address scope
- D.
Address superscope
Correct Answer(s)
A. Address pool
C. Address scopeExplanation
An address pool is a range of IP addresses that are managed by a DHCP server and can be assigned to devices on a network. An address scope is another term used to describe a single group of IP addresses managed by DHCP. Both terms refer to the same concept of a range of IP addresses that can be dynamically assigned to devices on a network. Address group and Address superscope are not accurate terms to describe a single group of IP addresses managed by DHCP.Rate this question:

An IPv6 address on a host moves from the preferred state to the deprecated state when which of the following events occurs?
- A.
The preferred lifetime timer expires and the valid lifetime timer is valid
- B.
The preferred lifetime timer is valid and the valid lifetime timer is expired
- C.
The preferred lifetime timer expires and the valid lifetime timer is expired
- D.
The preferred lifetime timer is valid and the valid lifetime timer is valid
Correct Answer
A. The preferred lifetime timer expires and the valid lifetime timer is validExplanation
When the preferred lifetime timer expires, it means that the host can no longer use the IPv6 address for new connections. However, if the valid lifetime timer is still valid, it means that the host can continue to use the IPv6 address for existing connections. Therefore, when the preferred lifetime timer expires and the valid lifetime timer is valid, the IPv6 address moves from the preferred state to the deprecated state.Rate this question:

E. Configuring internal routers to forward DHCP requests from network segments or broadcast domains where DHCP servers reside to segments where DHCP clients reside.
Correct Answer
D. D. Configuring internal routers to forward DHCP requests from network segments or broadcast domains where DHCP clients reside to segments where DHCP servers reside.Explanation
When a DHCP server is not available on the same network segment as the DHCP client, the DHCP client's initial DHCP broadcast requests can be serviced by configuring internal routers to forward DHCP requests from network segments or broadcast domains where DHCP clients reside to segments where DHCP servers reside. This technique allows the DHCP client to reach the DHCP server even if they are not on the same network segment, ensuring that the client can obtain an IP address and other configuration information from the server.Rate this question:

How does a DHCP relay forward the DHCP server’s reply to a client’s initial address request?
- A.
It uses a temporary IP address created for the requester
- B.
IT uses the IP address offered to the requester
- C.
IT uses the MAC layer address for the requester
- D.
It broadcasts a reply, for which the requester listens
Correct Answer
C. IT uses the MAC layer address for the requesterExplanation
A DHCP relay forwards the DHCP server's reply to a client's initial address request by using the MAC layer address for the requester. This means that the relay uses the client's unique MAC address to ensure that the reply is delivered to the correct device. By using the MAC layer address, the relay can accurately route the server's response to the specific client that made the initial request.Rate this question:

When a node creates a link-local address, which of the following methods for creating an IID can be appended to the well-known link-local prefix fe80::/64?
- A.
64-bit randomly generated address
- B.
The 64-bit MAC address
- C.
The 64-bit modified EUI-64 address
- D.
a 64-bit CGS
Correct Answer(s)
A. 64-bit randomly generated address
C. The 64-bit modified EUI-64 addressExplanation
The well-known link-local prefix fe80::/64 is used for creating link-local addresses. The 64-bit randomly generated address and the 64-bit modified EUI-64 address are both valid methods for creating the Interface Identifier (IID) portion of the link-local address. The 64-bit randomly generated address is generated using a random number generator, while the 64-bit modified EUI-64 address is derived from the MAC address of the network interface card. Both methods provide a unique identifier for the node on the link-local network.Rate this question:

Which issue explains why DHCP was not traditionally used to manage server and router addresses?
- A.
Routers and servers require static IP address assignments
- B.
DCHP is a client only solution
- C.
DHCP may only be updated manually, so it's not suitable for servers or routers
- D.
Servers and routers often depend on DNS which must be manually updated when addresses change
Correct Answer
D. Servers and routers often depend on DNS which must be manually updated when addresses changeExplanation
Servers and routers often depend on DNS which must be manually updated when addresses change. This means that if DHCP was used to manage server and router addresses, any changes in IP addresses would require manual updates in the DNS system. This would be time-consuming and prone to errors. Therefore, DHCP was not traditionally used for managing server and router addresses to avoid the need for manual updates in the DNS system.Rate this question:

Which of the following types of machines is best suited for dynamic IP address assignment? (Hint: Some kinds of machines require persistent IP addresses to remain easy to find on the Internet; others do not.)
- A.
Servers
- B.
Routers
- C.
Clients
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. ClientsExplanation
Clients are the best suited for dynamic IP address assignment. This is because clients are typically devices that connect to a network, such as computers, smartphones, or tablets. Dynamic IP address assignment allows the network to assign a temporary IP address to each client device when it connects to the network. This allows for efficient use of IP addresses and makes it easier to manage a large number of devices on the network. Servers and routers, on the other hand, often require persistent IP addresses to remain easily accessible on the internet.Rate this question:

Which activities occur during the process of IPv6 autoconfiguration? (Choose all that apply.)
- A.
The node checks its calculated link-local address with a Neighbor Solicitation to make sure that address is not already in use.
- B.
The node makes an RS to obtain RAs from attached routers.
- C.
The node attempts to calculate a link-local address by prepending its EUI-64 IID with the well-known link-local prefix.
- D.
Once a DHCPv6 server is identified, it always provides all necessary information to complete the autoconfiguration process.
- E.
All of the above
Correct Answer(s)
A. The node checks its calculated link-local address with a Neighbor Solicitation to make sure that address is not already in use.
B. The node makes an RS to obtain RAs from attached routers.Explanation
During the process of IPv6 autoconfiguration, the node checks its calculated link-local address with a Neighbor Solicitation to ensure that the address is not already in use. The node also makes a Router Solicitation (RS) to obtain Router Advertisements (RAs) from attached routers. These RAs contain important information such as the network prefix, default gateway, and DNS server addresses, which are necessary for the autoconfiguration process. Therefore, both of these activities occur during IPv6 autoconfiguration.Rate this question:

Which of the following best explain why a DHCP Discover packet is broadcast to the local network segment? ( choose all that apply)
- A.
Because the address of a DHCP server is not known
- B.
Because the client has no IP address and can not send a unicast
- C.
Because the client's network address is unknown
- D.
Because the clients host address is unknown
Correct Answer
A. Because the address of a DHCP server is not knownExplanation
A DHCP Discover packet is broadcast to the local network segment because the address of a DHCP server is not known. This broadcast allows the client to discover and communicate with a DHCP server, which will assign it an IP address. By broadcasting the packet, the client ensures that it reaches all devices on the network segment, including any potential DHCP servers.Rate this question:

What type of packet does a DHCP server send to a DHCP client in reply to a discover packet?
- A.
Reply packet
- B.
Offer packet
- C.
Release packet
- D.
Renewal packet
Correct Answer
B. Offer packetExplanation
When a DHCP client sends a discover packet to the DHCP server, it is essentially requesting an IP address. In response to this discover packet, the DHCP server sends an offer packet to the client. The offer packet contains the IP address that the server is willing to assign to the client, along with other configuration information such as subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers. The client can then choose to accept or decline the offered IP address.Rate this question:

How does a DCHP client accept an offer from a DHCP server?
- A.
By issuing DHCP Accept packet
- B.
By issuing DHCP Request packet
- C.
By issuing DHCP Declinet packet
- D.
By issuing DHCP Renewal packet
Correct Answer
B. By issuing DHCP Request packetExplanation
The DHCP client accepts an offer from a DHCP server by issuing a DHCP Request packet. This packet is sent by the client to the server to officially request the offered IP address and other configuration parameters. The client includes the server's offer information in the request packet, indicating its acceptance of the offer. This allows the server to reserve and assign the IP address to the client, completing the DHCP lease process.Rate this question:

When a node sends an RS, what type of message is it?
- A.
An anycast message
- B.
A broadcast message
- C.
A unicast message
- D.
A multicast message
Correct Answer
A. An anycast messageExplanation
When a node sends an RS (Router Solicitation), it is sending an anycast message. An anycast message is a type of message that is sent to a group of nodes, but only one node in the group will receive and process the message. In the case of an RS, the message is sent to a group of routers, and only one router in the group will respond with an RA (Router Advertisement). This allows the node to discover the presence and configuration of routers on the network.Rate this question:

Continue sending RS messages until it receives an RA
- C.
Send a DHCPv6 solicit message
- D.
Autoconfigure a global unicast address using the link-local prefix
Correct Answer
C. Send a DHCPv6 solicit messageExplanation
If a Windows 10 host does not receive a Router Advertisement (RA) in response to its Router Solicitation (RS), its next step in the IPv6 address autoconfiguration process is to send a DHCPv6 solicit message. This message is used to request configuration parameters, including an IPv6 address, from a DHCPv6 server. By sending this message, the host is attempting to obtain the necessary information to configure its IPv6 address.Rate this question:
