1 Which statement is true about data connectivity between a customer and a service

provider?
Normally the CSU/DSU is the designated demarcation point for the service provider but not the
customer.
The segment between the demarcation point and the central office is known as the "last
mile."
The local loop is the segment between the CSU/DSU and the serial port on a router.
Putting data on the local loop is the responsibility of the DTE.

2 Which WAN technology uses a fixed payload of 48 bytes and is transported across both
switched and permanent virtual circuits?
ATM
ISDN
Frame Relay
metro Ethernet

3 Which networking device is typically used to concentrate the dial-in and dial-out traffic of
multiple users to and from a network?
core router
access server
Frame Relay switch
ATM switch

4 Which packet-switched WAN technology offers high-bandwidth connectivity capable of


managing data, voice, and video all on the same infrastructure?
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)
metro Ethernet
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)

5 What type of connectivity is established when VPNs are used from the remote site to the private
network?
PVCs
DLCIs
tunnels
dedicated Layer 2 links
6 Which statement is true of the functionality of the layers in the hierarchical network model?
The purpose of the access layer is to provide very high bandwidth communications between
network devices.
Most security screening to prevent unauthorized entry to the network happens at the core layer.
Untrusted external connections are segmented from the rest of the network at all three levels.
The distribution layer aggregates WAN connections at the edge of the campus.

7 Why is the call setup time of a circuit-switched WAN implementation considered a


drawback?
Routing protocols are incompatible with this function.
It restricts the communication sent to voice traffic only.
A telephone must be used to initially start transferring data.
Data cannot be transferred until a circuit has been established.

8 What can cause a reduction in available bandwidth on a cable broadband connection?


smaller cells
number of subscribers
committed information rate
distance from the central office of the provider

9 A company needs a WAN connection that is capable of transferring voice, video, and data
at a minimum data rate of 155 Mbps. Which WAN connection is the best choice?
X.25
DSL
ATM
ISDN BRI
ISDN PRI

10 Which statement is true about the differences between a WAN and a LAN?
WANs generally support higher bandwidth than LANs support.
A WAN link typically traverses shorter geographic distances than a LAN link traverses.
A WAN often relies on the services of carriers, such as telephone or cable companies, but a
LAN does not.
All WAN implementations generally use the same Layer 2 protocol but there are many accepted
LAN Layer 2 protocols in use.

11 A U.S. company requires a WAN connection used only to transfer sales data from individual
stores to the home office. All transfers will occur after business hours. The required bandwidth
for this connection is estimated to be less than 38 kbps. Which type of connection requires the
least investment for this company?
AT M
ISDN
analog dialup
T1 Leased Line

12Which three features are identified with Frame Relay connections? (Choose three.)
CIR
DLCI
DSLAM
PVC
SPID
53-byte cells
13 What is an advantage of packet-switched technology over circuit-switched technology?
Packet-switched networks are less susceptible to jitter than circuit-switched networks are.
Packet-switched networks can efficiently use multiple routes inside a service provider
network.
Packet-switched networks do not require an expensive permanent connection to each endpoint.
Packet-switched networks usually experience lower latency than circuit-switched networks
experience.

14 What are two advantages of an analog PSTN WAN connection? (Choose two.)
low cost
availability
traffic encryption
available bandwidth
support for voice and video

15 For digital lines, which device is used to establish the communications link between the
customer equipment and the local loop?
CSU/DSU
Frame Relay switch
ISDN switch
modem
PBX switch

16 What three terms are associated with ISDN PRI? (Choose three.)
cell
DLCI
circuit switching
packet switching
data bearer channels
time-division multiplexing

17 Which three WAN devices can be found in the cloud? (Choose three.)
ATM switches
core routers
CSU/DSU
Ethernet switches
Frame Relay switches
repeaters

18 At which two layers of the OSI model does a WAN operate? (Choose two.)
Physical Layer
Data Link Layer
Network Layer
Transport Layer
Presentation Layer
Application Layer

19 Which statement about WAN protocols is correct?


ATM differs from other WAN protocols in that it uses variably sized packets.
Most WAN protocols use HDLC or a variant of HDLC as a framing mechanism.
The frame header consists of the frame check sequence and cyclic redundancy check.
ISDN differs from Frame Relay, HDLC, and ATM in that it is packet-switched rather than circuit-
switched technology.

20 Which switching type will allow the communication devices in the provider network to be
shared and only allocated to an individual subscriber during data transfer?
circuit-switched
dedicated switched lines
frame-switched
packet-switched

21 Which term describes a device that will put data on the local loop?
DLCI
DTE
DCE
BRI
PRI

22 Which two devices are commonly used as data communications equipment? (Choose two.)
modem
router
CSU/DSU
ISDN switch
Ethernet switch
