42. Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator enters these commands into the R1 router: R1# copy running-config tftp Address or name of remote host [ ]? When the router prompts for an address or remote host name, what IP address should the administrator enter at the prompt?
- A.
192.168.9.254
- B.
192.168.10.1
- C.
192.168.10.2
- D.
192.168.11.252
- E.
192.168.11.254
Correct Answer
D. 192.168.11.252Explanation
The IP address that the administrator should enter at the prompt is 192.168.11.252. This is because the command "copy running-config tftp" is used to copy the running configuration of the router to a TFTP server. The prompt is asking for the address or name of the remote host, which in this case is the TFTP server. Therefore, the administrator should enter the IP address of the TFTP server, which is 192.168.11.252.Rate this question:

44. What two preconfigured settings that affect security are found on most new wireless routers? (Choose two.)
- A.
Broadcast SSID
- B.
MAC filtering enabled
- C.
WEP encryption enabled
- D.
PSK authentication required
- E.
Default administrator password
Correct Answer(s)
A. Broadcast SSID
E. Default administrator passwordExplanation
The two preconfigured settings that affect security found on most new wireless routers are "broadcast SSID" and "default administrator password". The broadcast SSID setting determines whether the wireless network name is visible to other devices, while the default administrator password is the initial password used to access the router's settings. These settings can impact the security of the network as hiding the SSID can make it harder for unauthorized users to detect the network, and changing the default administrator password prevents unauthorized access to the router's settings.Rate this question:

45. Which type of wireless security generates dynamic encryption keys each time a client associates with an AP?
- A.
EAP
- B.
PSK
- C.
WEP
- D.
WPA
Correct Answer
D. WPAExplanation
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a type of wireless security that generates dynamic encryption keys each time a client associates with an Access Point (AP). This ensures that the encryption keys are constantly changing, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to intercept and decrypt the wireless network traffic. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a framework for authentication, but it does not specifically generate dynamic encryption keys. PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is a method that uses a single key for all devices on the network, so it does not generate dynamic keys. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an older and less secure wireless security protocol that also does not generate dynamic keys.Rate this question:

46. ........ is a best-effort, connectionless application layer protocol that is used to transfer files.
Correct Answer
TFTPExplanation
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a best-effort, connectionless application layer protocol used for transferring files. It is designed to be simple and lightweight, making it suitable for transferring small files in network environments with limited resources. TFTP operates on UDP (User Datagram Protocol) and does not provide reliable data transfer or error correction mechanisms. It is commonly used in scenarios such as booting diskless workstations or transferring firmware updates to network devices.Rate this question:

- D.
Crossover cable
- E.
Wireless bridge
- F.
Wireless client software
Correct Answer(s)
B. Wireless NIC
F. Wireless client softwareExplanation
A wireless client needs two components to be installed on a WLAN: a wireless NIC (Network Interface Card) and wireless client software. The wireless NIC allows the device to connect to the wireless network by sending and receiving signals. The wireless client software is necessary to manage the connection and communicate with the wireless network.Rate this question:

48. The prefix-length for the range of addresses is .....
Correct Answer(s)
60Explanation
The prefix-length for the range of addresses is 60. A prefix-length is used in IP addressing to determine the network portion of an IP address. It specifies the number of bits in the network portion of the address. In this case, a prefix-length of 60 indicates that the first 60 bits of the address are used to identify the network, while the remaining bits are used to identify the host within that network.Rate this question:

50. A host is accessing an FTP server on a remote network. Which three functions are performed by intermediary network devices during this conversation? (Choose three.)
- A.
Regenerating data signals
- B.
Acting as a client or a server
- C.
Providing a channel over which messages travel
- D.
Applying security settings to control the flow of data
- E.
Notifying other devices when errors occur
- F.
Serving as the source or destination of the messages
Correct Answer(s)
A. Regenerating data signals
D. Applying security settings to control the flow of data
E. Notifying other devices when errors occurExplanation
During the conversation between the host and the FTP server, intermediary network devices perform three functions. Firstly, they regenerate data signals to ensure that the signals remain strong and clear as they travel across the network. Secondly, they apply security settings to control the flow of data, ensuring that unauthorized access is prevented and data integrity is maintained. Lastly, these devices notify other devices when errors occur, allowing for prompt troubleshooting and resolution of any issues that may arise during the conversation.Rate this question:

51. When is a dial-up connection used to connect to an ISP?
- A.
When a cellular telephone provides the service
- B.
When a high-speed connection is provided over a cable TV network
- C.
When a satellite dish is used
- D.
When a regular telephone line is used
Correct Answer
D. When a regular telepHone line is usedExplanation
A dial-up connection is used to connect to an ISP when a regular telephone line is used. This is because dial-up connections use the existing telephone infrastructure to establish a connection to the internet. The user's computer dials a specific phone number provided by the ISP, and the modem on the computer establishes a connection with the ISP's modem through the telephone line. The data is then transmitted over the telephone line to access the internet. Dial-up connections are slower compared to other types of connections like cable or fiber-optic, but they can be used in areas where high-speed connections are not available.Rate this question:

52. On a school network, students are surfing the web, searching the library database, and attending an audio conference with their sister school in Japan. If network traffic is prioritized with QoS, how will the traffic be classified from highest priority to lowest priority?
- A.
Audio conference, database, HTTP
- B.
Database, HTTP, audio conference
- C.
Audio conference, HTTP, database
- D.
Database, audio conference, HTTP
Correct Answer
A. Audio conference, database, HTTPExplanation
The correct answer is audio conference, database, HTTP. In a school network where QoS is implemented, the highest priority would be given to real-time applications like audio conferences, as they require low latency and uninterrupted transmission. The next priority would be given to accessing the library database, as it involves retrieving and updating important information. The lowest priority would be given to HTTP traffic, which includes web browsing, as it is not as time-sensitive or critical as the other two activities.Rate this question:

53. During normal operation, from which location do most Cisco routers run the IOS?
- A.
RAM
- B.
Flash
- C.
NVRAM
- D.
Disk drive
Correct Answer
A. RAMExplanation
During normal operation, most Cisco routers run the IOS from RAM. RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that allows data to be accessed quickly. Running the IOS from RAM allows the router to execute commands and processes efficiently. Flash memory is used to store the IOS image, but it is typically copied to RAM for execution. NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory) is used to store the router's startup configuration, and a disk drive is not typically used to run the IOS.Rate this question:
