      Flash, ROM, setup mode

    Correct Answer
    B. NVRAM, TFTP, setup mode
    Explanation
    A router will first search for startup configuration information in NVRAM, which stands for Non-Volatile Random Access Memory. This is where the router stores its configuration files. If the configuration is not found in NVRAM, the router will then search for it in TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), which is a network protocol used for transferring files. Finally, if the configuration is not found in TFTP, the router will enter setup mode, where the user can manually configure the router.

      To monitor the process of a domain name to IP address resolution

    Correct Answer
    C. To provide feedback of IP packet transmissions
    Explanation
    ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) messages are used to provide feedback on the transmission of IP packets. These messages are sent between network devices to report errors, congestion, or other issues related to the delivery of IP packets. ICMP messages allow network administrators to monitor the status and performance of their networks and troubleshoot any problems that may arise during packet transmission. Therefore, the purpose of ICMP messages is to provide feedback on the transmission of IP packets.

    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 password
    Explanation
    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 impact security as hiding the network name can make it more difficult for unauthorized users to detect and connect to the network, and changing the default administrator password adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access to the router's settings.

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    Which type of wireless security is easily compromised?

    • A.

      EAP

    • B.

      PSK

    • C.

      WEP

    • D.

      WPA

    Correct Answer
    C. WEP
    Explanation
    WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is easily compromised because it uses a weak encryption algorithm and has known vulnerabilities. It can be cracked within minutes using readily available tools. This makes it susceptible to unauthorized access and data breaches. As a result, WEP is no longer considered secure and is not recommended for wireless networks.

    Correct Answer
    B. Public addresses
    Explanation
    The majority of addresses within the /8 block IPv4 bit space are public addresses. Public addresses are used to identify devices on the internet and are assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to their customers. These addresses are globally unique and can be accessed from anywhere on the internet. Private addresses, on the other hand, are used for local network communication and are not routable over the internet. Multicast addresses are used for one-to-many communication, and experimental addresses are used for research and testing purposes.

    What is the effect of configuring the ipv6 unicast-routing command on a router?

    • A.

      To assign the router to the all-nodes multicast group

    • B.

      To enable the router as an IPv6 router

    • C.

      To permit only unicast packets on the router

    • D.

      To prevent the router from joining the all-routers multicast group

    Correct Answer
    B. To enable the router as an IPv6 router
    Explanation
    Configuring the "ipv6 unicast-routing" command on a router enables the router to function as an IPv6 router. This command allows the router to forward unicast IPv6 packets between different networks, making it capable of routing IPv6 traffic. It does not assign the router to the all-nodes multicast group, permit only unicast packets, or prevent the router from joining the all-routers multicast group.

    Which group of IPv6 addresses cannot be allocated as a host source address?​

    • A.

      FEC0::/10​

    • B.

      FDFF::/7​

    • C.

      FEBF::/10

    • D.

      FF00::/8

    Correct Answer
    D. FF00::/8
    Explanation
    The group of IPv6 addresses that cannot be allocated as a host source address is FF00::/8. This is because FF00::/8 is a multicast address range, which is used for communication to multiple hosts simultaneously. Multicast addresses are not assigned to individual hosts, but rather to groups of hosts that are interested in receiving the multicast traffic. Therefore, FF00::/8 cannot be used as a source address for a single host.

    What is a characteristic of the LLC sublayer?

    • A.

      It provides the logical addressing required that identifies the device.

    • B.

      It provides delimitation of data according to the physical signaling requirements of the medium.

    • C.

      It places information in the frame allowing multiple Layer 3 protocols to use the same network interface and media.

    • D.

      It defines software processes that provide services to the physical layer.

    Correct Answer
    C. It places information in the frame allowing multiple Layer 3 protocols to use the same network interface and media.
    Explanation
    The LLC sublayer of the data link layer places information in the frame, allowing multiple Layer 3 protocols to use the same network interface and media. This means that different protocols can share the same physical connection and transmit their data over the network. The LLC sublayer accomplishes this by adding a header to the frame that includes information about the protocol being used. This allows the receiving device to correctly interpret and process the data.

    Rate this question:

  • 44. 

    A frame is transmitted from one networking device to another. Why does the receiving device check the FCS field in the frame?

    • A.

      To determine the physical address of the sending device

    • B.

      To verify the network layer protocol information

    • C.

      To compare the interface media type between the sending and receiving ends

    • D.

      To check the frame for possible transmission errors

    • E.

      To verify that the frame destination matches the MAC address of the receiving device

    Correct Answer
    D. To check the frame for possible transmission errors
    Explanation
    The receiving device checks the FCS field in the frame to verify if there are any transmission errors. The FCS (Frame Check Sequence) field contains a checksum that is used to detect errors in the frame during transmission. By checking the FCS field, the receiving device can determine if the frame was received correctly or if there are any errors that occurred during transmission. This helps ensure the integrity of the data being transmitted and allows for error detection and correction if necessary.

    Correct Answer(s)
    C. Data link layer addressing
    E. Detection of errors through CRC calculations
    F. Delimiting groups of bits into frames
    Explanation
    The three primary functions provided by Layer 2 data encapsulation are data link layer addressing, detection of errors through CRC calculations, and delimiting groups of bits into frames. Data link layer addressing allows for the identification of devices on a local network. Detection of errors through CRC calculations ensures the integrity of the transmitted data. Delimiting groups of bits into frames helps in organizing and synchronizing the data transmission.

    A PC is configured to obtain an IP address automatically from network 192.168.3.0/24. The network administrator issues the arp –a command and notices an entry of 192.168.3.255 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff. Which statement describes this entry?

    • A.

      This is a static map entry.

    • B.

      This is a dynamic map entry.

    • C.

      This entry refers to the PC itself.

    • D.

      This entry maps to the default gateway.

    Correct Answer
    A. This is a static map entry.
    Explanation
    The entry 192.168.3.255 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff indicates a static map entry. In ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), static map entries are manually configured mappings between IP addresses and MAC addresses. In this case, the entry is for the broadcast address of the network (192.168.3.255) and the corresponding MAC address (ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff). Since it is manually configured, it is considered a static map entry.

    • D.

      Just the PC1 MAC address

    • E.

      Just the PC2 MAC address​

    Correct Answer
    A. Just PC0 and PC1 MAC addresses
    Explanation
    The MAC addresses of PC0 and PC1 will be contained in the S1 MAC address table associated with the Fa0/1 port because the ping is issued from PC0, PC1, and PC3 in that order. The MAC addresses of the devices that send traffic through a switch port are recorded in the MAC address table. Since PC2 is not involved in the ping process, its MAC address will not be included in the table.

    How does a Layer 3 switch differ from a Layer 2 switch?

    • A.

      A Layer 3 switch supports VLANs, but a Layer 2 switch does not.

    • B.

      An IP address can be assigned to a physical port of a Layer 3 switch. However, this is not supported in Layer 2 switches.

    • C.

      A Layer 3 switch maintains an IP address table instead of a MAC address table.

    • D.

      A Layer 3 switch learns the MAC addresses that are associated with each of its ports. However, a Layer 2 switch does not.

    Correct Answer
    B. An IP address can be assigned to a pHysical port of a Layer 3 switch. However, this is not supported in Layer 2 switches.
    Explanation
    A Layer 3 switch differs from a Layer 2 switch because it allows for the assignment of an IP address to a physical port. This feature is not supported in Layer 2 switches, which means that Layer 3 switches have the capability to operate at both the network layer (Layer 3) and the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. This allows Layer 3 switches to perform routing functions, such as forwarding packets based on IP addresses, in addition to the switching functions performed by Layer 2 switches.

      If the client receives several DHCPOFFER messages from different servers, it sends a unicast DHCPREQUEST message to the server from which it chooses to obtain the IP information.

    • B.

      A client must wait for lease expiration before it sends another DHCPREQUEST message.​

    • C.

      When a device that is configured to use DHCP boots, the client broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message to identify any available DHCP servers on the network.​

    • D.

      The DHCPDISCOVER message contains the IP address and subnet mask to be assigned, the IP address of the DNS server, and the IP address of the default gateway.​

    Correct Answer
    C. When a device that is configured to use DHCP boots, the client broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message to identify any available DHCP servers on the network.​
    Explanation
    When a device is configured to use DHCP, it broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message when it boots up. This message is sent to identify any available DHCP servers on the network. The purpose of this broadcast is to allow the client to discover and establish a connection with a DHCP server, which will then assign the necessary IP address, subnet mask, DNS server address, and default gateway address to the client.
