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::/8Explanation
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.Rate this question:

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:

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 errorsExplanation
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.Rate this question:

What are the three primary functions provided by Layer 2 data encapsulation? (Choose three.)
- A.
Error correction through a collision detection method
- B.
Session control using port numbers
- C.
Data link layer addressing
- D.
Placement and removal of frames from the media

Delimiting groups of bits into frames
- G.
Conversion of bits into data signals
Correct Answer(s)
C. Data link layer addressing
E. Detection of errors through CRC calculations
F. Delimiting groups of bits into framesExplanation
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.Rate this question:

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.Rate this question:

Refer to the exhibit. A ping to PC2 is issued from PC0, PC1, and PC3 in this exact order. Which MAC addresses will be contained in the S1 MAC address table that is associated with the Fa0/1 port?
- A.
Just PC0 and PC1 MAC addresses
- B.
Just the PC0 MAC address
- C.
PC0, PC1, and PC2 MAC addresses
- D.
Just the PC1 MAC address
- E.
Just the PC2 MAC address
Correct Answer
A. Just PC0 and PC1 MAC addressesExplanation
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.Rate this question:

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.Rate this question:

Which statement is true about DHCP operation?
- A.
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.Rate this question:
