Version 6.0:
1. What is a characteristic of a fault tolerant network?
a network that protects confidential information from unauthorized access
a network that can expand quickly to support new users and applications without
impacting the performance of the service delivered to existing users
a network that supports a mechanism for managing congestion and ensuring
reliable delivery of content to all users
a network that recovers quickly when a failure occurs and depends on
redundancy to limit the impact of a failure*
Explain:
Fault tolerant networks limit the impact of a failure because the networks are built
in a way that allows for quick recovery when such a failure occurs. These networks
depend on multiple or redundant paths between the source and destination of a
message.
A scalable network can expand quickly to support new users and applications
without impacting the performance of the service being delivered to existing users.
Quality of service (QoS) is a mechanism for managing congestion and ensuring
reliable delivery of content to all users.
2. Three bank employees are using the corporate network. The first employee
uses a web browser to view a company web page in order to read some
announcements. The second employee accesses the corporate database to
perform some financial transactions. The third employee participates in an
important live audio conference with other corporate managers in branch
offices. If QoS is implemented on this network, what will be the priorities from
highest to lowest of the different data types?
financial transactions, audio conference, web page
audio conference, financial transactions, web page*
audio conference, web page, financial transactions
financial transactions, web page, audio conference
Explain:
QoS mechanisms enable the establishment of queue management strategies that
enforce priorities for different categories of application data. Thus, this queuing
enables voice data to have priority over transaction data, which has priority over
web data.
Explain:
Cloud computing extends IT’s capabilities without requiring investment in new
infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. These services
are available on-demand and delivered economically to any device anywhere in
the world without compromising security or function. BYOD is about end users
having the freedom to use personal tools to access information and communicate
across a business or campus network. Smart home technology is integrated into
every-day appliances allowing them to interconnect with other devices, making
them more ‘smart’ or automated. Powerline networking is a trend for home
networking that uses existing electrical wiring to connect devices to the network
wherever there is an electrical outlet, saving the cost of installing data cables.
Explain:
Most operating systems contain a shell and a kernel. The kernel interacts with the
hardware and the shell interfaces between the kernel and the users.
Explain:
The wrong mode of operation is being used. The CLI prompt indicates that the
mode of operation is global configuration. IP addresses must be configured from
interface configuration mode, as indicated by the SanJose(config-if)# prompt.
Explain:
To interrupt an IOS process such as ping or traceroute, a user enters the Ctrl-Shift-
6 key combination. Tab completes the remainder of parameters or arguments
within a command. To exit from configuration mode to privileged mode use the
Ctrl-Z keystroke. CTRL-R will redisplay the line just typed, thus making it easier for
the user to press Enter and reissue the ping command.
letmein
secretin
linevtyin
lineconin*
Explain:
Telnet accesses a network device through the virtual interface configured with the
line VTY command. The password configured under this is required to access the
user EXEC mode. The password configured under the line console 0 command is
required to gain entry through the console port, and the enable and enable secret
passwords are used to allow entry into the privileged EXEC mode.
9. On which switch interface would an administrator configure an IP address so
that the switch can be managed remotely?
FastEthernet0/1
VLAN 1*
vty 0
console 0
Explain:
Interface VLAN 1 is a virtual interface on a switch, called SVI (switch virtual
interface). Configuring an IP address on the default SVI, interface VLAN 1, will
allow a switch to be accessed remotely. The VTY line must also be configured to
allow remote access, but an IP address cannot be configured on this line.
10. What protocol is responsible for controlling the size of segments and the rate
at which segments are exchanged between a web client and a web server?
TCP*
IP
HTTP
Ethernet
Explain:
TCP is a Layer 4 protocol of the OSI model. TCP has several responsibilities in the
network communication process. It divides large messages into smaller segments
which are more efficient to send across the network. It also controls the size and
rate of segments exchanged between clients and servers.
Explain:
A monopoly by one company is not a good idea from a user point of view. If a
protocol can only be run on one brand, it makes it difficult to have mixed
equipment in a network. A proprietary protocol is not free to use. An open standard
protocol will in general be implemented by a wide range of vendors.
12. What are two benefits of using a layered network model? (Choose two.)
It assists in protocol design. *
It speeds up packet delivery.
It prevents designers from creating their own model.
It prevents technology in one layer from affecting other layers.*
It ensures a device at one layer can function at the next higher layer.
Explain:
Some vendors have developed their own reference models and protocols. Today,
if a device is to communicate on the Internet, the device must use the TCP/IP
model. The benefits of using a layered model are as follows:
assists in protocol design
fosters competition between vendors
prevents a technology that functions at one layer from affecting any other layer
provides a common language for describing network functionality
helps in visualizing the interaction between each layer and protocols between
each layer
13. Which two OSI model layers have the same functionality as two layers of the
TCP/IP model? (Choose two.)
data link
network*
physical
session
transport*
Explain:
The OSI transport layer is functionally equivalent to the TCP/IP transport layer,
and the OSI network layer is equivalent to the TCP/IP internet layer. The OSI data
link and physical layers together are equivalent to the TCP/IP network access
layer. The OSI session layer (with the presentation layer) is included within the
TCP/IP application layer.
Explain:
Application data is passed down the protocol stack on its way to be transmitted
across the network media. During the process, various protocols add information
to it at each level. At each stage of the process, a PDU (protocol data unit) has a
different name to reflect its new functions. The PDUs are named according to the
protocols of the TCP/IP suite:
Data – The general term for the PDU used at the application layer.
Segment – transport layer PDU
Packet – network layer PDU
Frame – data link layer PDU
Bits – A physical layer PDU used when physically transmitting data over the
medium
15. A network engineer is measuring the transfer of bits across the company
backbone for a mission critical database application. The engineer notices that
the network throughput appears lower than the bandwidth expected. Which three
factors could influence the differences in throughput? (Choose three.)
the amount of traffic that is currently crossing the network*
the sophistication of the encapsulation method applied to the data
the type of traffic that is crossing the network*
the latency that is created by the number of network devices that the data is
crossing*
the bandwidth of the WAN connection to the Internet
the reliability of the gigabit Ethernet infrastructure of the backbone
Explain:
Throughput usually does not match the specified bandwidth of physical links due
to multiple factors. These factors include, the amount of traffic, type of traffic, and
latency created by the network devices the data has to cross.
Explain:
The NIC has responsibilities in both Layer 1 and Layer 2. The NIC encodes the
frame as a series of signals that are transmitted onto the local media. This is the
responsibility of the physical layer of the OSI model. The signal could be in the
form of electrical, optical, or radio waves.
Explain:
A rollover cable is a Cisco proprietary cable used to connect to a router or switch
console port. A straight-through (also called patch) cable is usually used to
interconnect a host to a switch and a switch to a router. A crossover cable is used
to interconnect similar devices together, for example, between two switches, two
routers, and two hosts.
Explain:
Throughput usually does not match the specified bandwidth of physical links due
to multiple factors. These factors include, the amount of traffic, type of traffic, and
latency created by the network devices the data has to cross.
Explain:
Cladding and immunization from electrical hazards are characteristics for fiber-
optic cabling. A woven copper braid or metallic foil is used as a shield for the inner
coaxial cable conductor. Cancellation is a property of UTP cabling where two wires
are located adjacent to one another so each magnetic field cancels out the
adjacent magnetic field.
Explain:
Fiber-optic cabling supports higher bandwidth than UTP for longer distances. Fiber
is immune to EMI and RFI, but costs more, requires more skill to install, and
requires more safety precautions.
Explain:
The Logical Link Control (LLC) defines the software processes that provide
services to the network layer protocols. The information is placed by LLC in the
frame and identifies which network layer protocol is being used for the frame. This
information allows multiple Layer 3 protocols, such as IPv4 and IPv6, to utilize the
same network interface and media.
Explain:
Partial mesh topologies provide high availability by interconnecting multiple remote
sites, but do not require a connection between all remote sites. A mesh topology
requires point-to-point links with every system being connected to every other
system. A point-to-point topology is where each device is connected to one other
device. A hub and spoke uses a central device in a star topology that connects to
other point-to-point devices.
Explain:
Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is used with
wireless networking technology to mediate media contention. Carrier sense
multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) is used with wired Ethernet
technology to mediate media contention. Priority ordering and token passing are
not used (or not a method) for media access control.
24. What are the three primary functions provided by Layer 2 data
encapsulation? (Choose three.)
error correction through a collision detection method
session control using port numbers
data link layer addressing*
placement and removal of frames from the media
detection of errors through CRC calculations *
delimiting groups of bits into frames*
conversion of bits into data signals
Explain:
Through the framing process, delimiters are used to identify the start and end of
the sequence of bits that make up a frame. Data link layer addressing is added to
enable a frame to be delivered to a destination node. A cyclic redundancy check
(CRC) field is calculated on every bit and added to the frame. If the CRC value
contained in the arriving frame is the same as the one the receiving node creates,
the frame will be processed.
Explain:
In an Ethernet network, each NIC in the network checks every arriving frame to
see if the destination MAC address in the frame matches its own MAC address. If
there is no match, the device discards the frame. If there is a match, the NIC
passes the frame up to the next OSI layer.
26. What are two examples of the cut-through switching method? (Choose two.)
store-and-forward switching
fast-forward switching*
CRC switching
fragment-free switching*
QOS switching
Explain:
Store-and forward switching accepts the entire frame and performs error checking
using CRC before forwarding the frame. Store-and-forward is often required for
QOS analysis. Fast-forward and fragment-free are both variations of the cut-
through switching method where only part of the frame is received before the
switch begins to forward it.
27. What are two actions performed by a Cisco switch? (Choose two.)
building a routing table that is based on the first IP address in the frame header
using the source MAC addresses of frames to build and maintain a MAC
address table*
forwarding frames with unknown destination IP addresses to the default gateway
utilizing the MAC address table to forward frames via the destination MAC
address*
examining the destination MAC address to add new entries to the MAC address
table
Explain:
Important actions that a switch performs are as follows:
When a frame comes in, the switch examines the Layer 2 source address to build
and maintain the Layer 2 MAC address table.
It examines the Layer 2 destination address to determine how to forward the
frame. When the destination address is in the MAC address table, then the frame
is sent out a particular port. When the address is unknown, the frame is sent to all
ports that have devices connected to that network.
28. Which frame forwarding method receives the entire frame and performs a
CRC check to detect errors before forwarding the frame?
cut-through switching
store-and-forward switching*
fragment-free switching
fast-forward switching
Explain:
Fast-forward and fragment-free switching are variations of cut-through switching,
which begins to forward the frame before the entire frame is received.
29. Refer to the exhibit. If host A sends an IP packet to host B, what will the
destination address be in the frame when it leaves host A?
DD:DD:DD:DD:DD:DD
172.168.10.99
CC:CC:CC:CC:CC:CC
172.168.10.65
BB:BB:BB:BB:BB:BB*
AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA
Explain:
When a host sends information to a distant network, the Layer 2 frame header will
contain a source and destination MAC address. The source address will be the
originating host device. The destination address will be the router interface that
connects to the same network. In the case of host A sending information to host B,
the source address is AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA and the destination address is the
MAC address assigned to the R2 Ethernet interface, BB:BB:BB:BB:BB:BB.
Explain:
ARP, or the Address Resolution Protocol, works by mapping a destination MAC
address to a destination IPv4 address. The host knows the destination IPv4
address and uses ARP to resolve the corresponding destination MAC address.
Explain:
IP is a Layer 3 protocol. Layer 3 devices can open the Layer 3 header to inspect
the Layer 3 header which contains IP-related information including the source and
destination IP addresses.
32. What are two services provided by the OSI network layer? (Choose two.)
performing error detection
routing packets toward the destination *
encapsulating PDUs from the transport layer*
placement of frames on the media
collision detection
Explain:
The OSI network layer provides several services to allow communication between
devices:
addressing
encapsulation
routing
de-encapsulation
Error detection, placing frames on the media, and collision detection are all
functions of the data ink layer.
33. Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator for a small advertising
company has chosen to use the 192.168.5.96/27 network for internal LAN
addressing. As shown in the exhibit, a static IP address is assigned to the
company web server. However, the web server cannot access the Internet. The
administrator verifies that local workstations with IP addresses that are assigned
by a DHCP server can access the Internet, and the web server is able to ping
local workstations. Which component is incorrectly configured?
subnet mask
DNS address
host IP address
default gateway address*
Explain:
When a 255.255.255.224 subnet mask is used, the first three bits of the last octet
are part of the network portion for an IPv4 address in the subnet. For the
192.168.5.96/27 network, valid host addresses are 192.168.5.97 through
192.168.5.126. The default gateway address is for the Layer 3 device on the same
network and it must contain an IP address within the valid IP address range.
34. Why does a Layer 3 device perform the ANDing process on a destination IP
address and subnet mask?
to identify the broadcast address of the destination network
to identify the host address of the destination host
to identify faulty frames
to identify the network address of the destination network*
Explain:
ANDing allows us to identify the network address from the IP address and the
network mask.
Explain:
NVRAM is permanent memory storage, so the startup configuration file is
preserved even if the router loses power.
36. Refer to the exhibit. What will be the result of entering this configuration the
next time a network administrator connects a console cable to the router and no
additional commands have been entered?
Explain:
Until both the password password and the login commands are entered in console
line configuration mode, no password is required to gain access to enable mode.
Explain:
Each section (octet) contains eight binary digits. Each digit represents a specific
value (128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1). Everywhere there is a 1, the specific value
is relevant. Add all relevant values in a particular octet to obtain the decimal value.
For example binary 11001011 equals 203 in decimal.
38. What are three characteristics of multicast transmission? (Choose three.)
The source address of a multicast transmission is in the range of 224.0.0.0 to
224.0.0.255.
A single packet can be sent to a group of hosts. *
Multicast transmission can be used by routers to exchange routing
information. *
Routers will not forward multicast addresses in the range of 224.0.0.0 to
224.0.0.255.*
Computers use multicast transmission to request IPv4 addresses.
Multicast messages map lower layer addresses to upper layer addresses.
Explain:
Broadcast messages consist of single packets that are sent to all hosts on a
network segment. These types of messages are used to request IPv4 addresses,
and map upper layer addresses to lower layer addresses. A multicast transmission
is a single packet sent to a group of hosts and is used by routing protocols, such
as OSPF and RIPv2, to exchange routes. The address range 224.0.0.0 to
224.0.0.255 is reserved for link-local addresses to reach multicast groups on a
local network.
39. What are the three ranges of IP addresses that are reserved for internal
private use? (Choose three.)
10.0.0.0/8*
64.100.0.0/14
127.16.0.0/12
172.16.0.0/12*
192.31.7.0/24
192.168.0.0/16*
Explain:
The private IP address blocks that are used inside companies are as follows:
10.0.0.0 /8 (any address that starts with 10 in the first octet)
172.16.0.0 /12 (any address that starts with 172.16 in the first two octets through
172.31.255.255)
192.168.0.0 /16 (any address that starts with 192.168 in the first two octets)
Explain:
NAT64 is typically used in IPv6 when networks are being transitioned from IPv4 to
IPv6. It allows the IPv6 networks to connect to IPv4 networks (such as the
Internet), and works by translating the IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets.
Explain:
Link-local addresses are in the range of FE80::/10 to FEBF::/10. The original IPv6
specification defined site-local addresses and used the prefix range FEC0::/10, but
these addresses were deprecated by the IETF in favor of unique local addresses.
FDEE::/7 is a unique local address because it is in the range of FC00::/7 to
FDFF::/7. IPv6 multicast addresses have the prefix FF00::/8.
43. Which three addresses are valid public addresses? (Choose three.)
198.133.219.17*
192.168.1.245
10.15.250.5
128.107.12.117*
192.15.301.240
64.104.78.227 *
44. Refer to the exhibit. On the basis of the output, which two statements about
network connectivity are correct? (Choose two.)
Explain:
The output displays a successful Layer 3 connection between a host computer
and a host at 19.168.100.1. It can be determined that 4 hops exist between them
and the average transmission time is 1 milliseconds. Layer 3 connectivity does not
necessarily mean that an application can run between the hosts.
Explain:
Link-local IPv6 addresses start with FE80::/10, which is any address from FE80::
to FEBF::. Link-local addresses are used extensively in IPv6 and allow directly
connected devices to communicate with each other on the link they share.
46. How many valid host addresses are available on an IPv4 subnet that is
configured with a /26 mask?
254
190
192
62*
64
Explain:
When a /26 mask is used, 6 bits are used as host bits. With 6 bits, 64 addresses
are possible, but one address is for the subnet number and one address is for a
broadcast. This leaves 62 addresses that can be assigned to network devices.
47. A site administrator has been told that a particular network at the site must
accommodate 126 hosts. Which subnet mask would be used that contains the
required number of host bits?
255.255.255.0
255.255.255.128*
255.255.255.224
255.255.255.240
Explain:
The subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 has 8 host bits. The mask of 255.255.255.128
results in 7 host bits. The mask of 255.255.255.224 has 5 host bits. Finally,
255.255.255.240 represents 4 host bits.
48. A network administrator wants to have the same subnet mask for three
subnetworks at a small site. The site has the following networks and numbers of
devices:
Subnetwork A: IP phones – 10 addresses
Subnetwork B: PCs – 8 addresses
Subnetwork C: Printers – 2 addresses
What single subnet mask would be appropriate to use for the three
subnetworks?
255.255.255.0
255.255.255.240*
255.255.255.248
255.255.255.252
Explain:
If the same mask is to be used, then the network with the most hosts must be
examined for number of hosts. Because this is 10 hosts, 4 host bits are needed.
The /28 or 255.255.255.240 subnet mask would be appropriate to use for these
networks.
49. How many hosts are addressable on a network that has a mask of
255.255.255.248?
2
6*
8
14
16
254
Explain:
The subnet mask of 255.255.255.248 is the same as /29. This means the network
portion of the address is 29 of the 32 bits in the address. Only 3 bits remain for
host bits. 2^3 = 8, but one of these addresses has to be used for the network
number and one address must be used as the broadcast address to reach all of
the hosts on this network. That leaves only 6 usable IP addresses that can be
assigned to hosts in this network. Don’t forget that the default gateway must be
one of these devices if this network is to communicate with other networks.
50. Which subnet would include the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host
address?
192.168.1.64/26*
192.168.1.32/27
192.168.1.32/28
192.168.1.64/29
Explain:
For the subnet of 192.168.1.64/26, there are 6 bits for host addresses, yielding 64
possible addresses. However, the first and last subnets are the network and
broadcast addresses for this subnet. Therefore, the range of host addresses for
this subnet is 192.168.1.65 to 192.168.1.126. The other subnets do not contain the
address 192.168.1.96 as a valid host address.
51. What subnet mask is needed if an IPv4 network has 40 devices that need IP
addresses and address space is not to be wasted?
255.255.255.0
255.255.255.128
255.255.255.192*
255.255.255.224
255.255.255.240
Explain:
In order to accommodate 40 devices, 6 host bits are needed. With 6 bits, 64
addresses are possible, but one address is for the subnet number and one
address is for a broadcast. This leaves 62 addresses that can be assigned to
network devices. The mask associated with leaving 6 host bits for addressing is
255.255.255.192.
52. What are two characteristics shared by TCP and UDP? (Choose two.)
default window size
connectionless communication
port numbering*
3-way handshake
ability to to carry digitized voice
use of checksum*
Explain:
Both TCP and UDP use source and destination port numbers to distinguish
different data streams and to forward the right data segments to the right
applications. Error checking the header and data is done by both protocols by
using a checksum calculation to determine the integrity of the data that is received.
TCP is connection-oriented and uses a 3-way handshake to establish an initial
connection. TCP also uses window to regulate the amount of traffic sent before
receiving an acknowledgment. UDP is connectionless and is the best protocol for
carry digitized VoIP signals.
53. Why are port numbers included in the TCP header of a segment?
to indicate the correct router interface that should be used to forward a segment
to identify which switch ports should receive or forward the segment
to determine which Layer 3 protocol should be used to encapsulate the data
to enable a receiving host to forward the data to the appropriate
application*
to allow the receiving host to assemble the packet in the proper order
54. Refer to the exhibit. Consider the IP address of 192.168.10.0/24 that has been
assigned to a high school building. The largest network in this building has 100
devices. If 192.168.10.0 is the network number for the largest network, what
would be the network number for the next largest network, which has 40
devices?
192.168.10.0
192.168.10.128*
192.168.10.192
192.168.10.224
192.168.10.240
Explain:
The first thing to calculate is what IP addresses are used by the largest LAN.
Because the LAN has 100 hosts, 7 bits must be left for host bits. This would be a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.128 for the largest LAN (192.168.10.0/25). The IP
addresses range from 192.168.10.0 through 192.168.10.127. 192.168.10.0 is the
network number (all 0s in the host bits) and 192.168.10.127 is the broadcast for
this Ethernet LAN (all 1s in the host bits). The next available IP address is the next
network number – 192.168.10.128.
Explain:
In variable-length subnet masking, bits are borrowed to create subnets. Additional
bits may be borrowed to create additional subnets within the original subnets. This
may continue until there are no bits available to borrow.
56. In what two situations would UDP be the preferred transport protocol over
TCP? (Choose two.)
when applications need to guarantee that a packet arrives intact, in sequence,
and unduplicated
when a faster delivery mechanism is needed*
when delivery overhead is not an issue
when applications do not need to guarantee delivery of the data*
when destination port numbers are dynamic
Explain:
UDP is a stateless protocol, which means that neither device on either end of the
conversation must keep track of the conversation. As a stateless protocol, UDP is
used as the Layer 4 protocol for applications that need speedy (best-effort)
delivery. An example of such traffic is the transport of digitized voice or video.
57. What important information is added to the TCP/IP transport layer header to
ensure communication and connectivity with a remote network device?
timing and synchronization
destination and source port numbers*
destination and source physical addresses
destination and source logical network addresses
Explain:
The destination and source port numbers are used to identify exactly which
protocol and process is requesting or responding to a request.
Explain:
TCP uses windows to attempt to manage the rate of transmission to the maximum
flow that the network and destination device can support while minimizing loss and
retransmissions. When overwhelmed with data, the destination can send a request
to reduce the of the window. This congestion avoidance is called sliding windows.
Explain:
The source and destination port numbers are used to identify the correct
application and window within that application.
61. What are two ways that TCP uses the sequence numbers in a segment?
(Choose two.)
to identify missing segments at the destination *
to reassemble the segments at the remote location*
to specify the order in which the segments travel from source to destination
to limit the number of segments that can be sent out of an interface at one time
to determine if the packet changed during transit
62. Which two tasks are functions of the presentation layer? (Choose two.)
compression*
addressing
encryption*
session control
authentication
Explain:
The presentation layer deals with common data format. Encryption, formatting,
and compression are some of the functions of the layer. Addressing occurs in the
network layer, session control occurs in the session layer, and authentication takes
place in the application or session layer.
Explain:
UDP is a simple protocol that provides the basic transport layer functions. It has
much lower overhead than TCP because it is not connection-oriented and does
not offer the sophisticated retransmission, sequencing, and flow control
mechanisms that provide reliability.
Explain:
The peer-to-peer (P2P) networking model allows data, printer, and resource
sharing without a dedicated server.
65. A technician can ping the IP address of the web server of a remote company
but cannot successfully ping the URL address of the same web server. Which
software utility can the technician use to diagnose the problem?
tracert
ipconfig
netstat
nslookup*
Explain:
Traceroute (tracert) is a utility that generates a list of hops that were successfully
reached along the path from source to destination.This list can provide important
verification and troubleshooting information. The ipconfig utility is used to display
the IP configuration settings on a Windows PC. The Netstat utility is used to
identify which active TCP connections are open and running on a networked host.
Nslookup is a utility that allows the user to manually query the name servers to
resolve a given host name. This utility can also be used to troubleshoot name
resolution issues and to verify the current status of the name servers.
Explain:
Top-level domains represent a country or type of organization, such as .com or
.edu.
67. A PC obtains its IP address from a DHCP server. If the PC is taken off the
network for repair, what happens to the IP address configuration?
The configuration is permanent and nothing changes.
The address lease is automatically renewed until the PC is returned.
The address is returned to the pool for reuse when the lease expires.*
The configuration is held by the server to be reissued when the PC is returned.
Explain:
When a DCHP address is issued to a host, it is for a specific lease time. Once the
lease expires, the address is returned to the DHCP pool.
68. When planning for network growth, where in the network should packet
captures take place to assess network traffic?
on as many different network segments as possible*
only at the edge of the network
between hosts and the default gateway
only on the busiest network segment
Explain:
Because some types of traffic will be only on specific network segments, packet
captures for analysis should be performed on as many segments as possible.
69. A wireless host needs to request an IP address. What protocol would be used
to process the request?
FTP
HTTP
DHCP*
ICMP
SNMP
Explain:
The DHCP protocol is used to request, issue, and manage IP addressing
information. CSMA/CD is the access method used with wired Ethernet. ICMP is
used to test connectivity. SNMP is used with network management and FTP is
used for file transfer.
Explain:
A Trojan horse is malicious code that has been written specifically to look like a
legitimate program. This is in contrast to a virus, which simply attaches itself to an
actual legitimate program. Viruses require manual intervention from a user to
spread from one system to another, while a worm is able to spread automatically
between systems by exploiting vulnerabilities on those devices.
71. When applied to a router, which command would help mitigate brute-force
password attacks against the router?
exec-timeout 30
service password-encryption
banner motd $Max failed logins = 5$
login block-for 60 attempts 5 within 60*
Explain:
The login block-for command sets a limit on the maximum number of failed login
attempts allowed within a defined period of time. If this limit is exceeded, no further
logins are allowed for the specified period of time. This helps to mitigate brute-
force password cracking since it will significantly increase the amount of time
required to crack a password. The exec-timeout command specifies how long the
session can be idle before the user is disconnected. The service password-
encryption command encrypts the passwords in the running configuration. The
banner motd command displays a message to users who are logging in to the
device.
Explain:
The show interfaces command can be used on both routers and switches to see
speed, duplex, media type, MAC address, port type, and other Layer 1/Layer 2-
related information.
73. Where are Cisco IOS debug output messages sent by default?
Syslog server
console line*
memory buffers
vty lines
Explain:
Debug messages, like other IOS log messages, are sent to the console line by
default. Sending these messages to the terminal lines requires the terminal
monitor command.
74. Match the description with the associated IOS mode. (not all options are
used.)
Question
Answer
Answer
Explain:
In the output of the ping command, an exclamation mark (!) indicates a response
was successfully received, a period (.) indicates that the connection timed out
while waiting for a reply, and the letter “U” indicates that a router along the path did
not have a route to the destination and sent an ICMP destination unreachable
message back to the source.
77. A user is unable to reach the web site when typing http://www.cisco.com in a
web browser, but can reach the same site by typing http://72.163.4.161. What is
the issue?
default gateway
DHCP
TCP/IP protocol stack
DNS *
Explain:
Domain Name Service (DNS) is used to translate a web address to an IP address.
The address of the DNS server is provided via DHCP to host computers.
78. A company is expanding its business to other countries. All branch offices
must remain connected to corporate headquarters at all times. Which network
technology is required to support this requirement?
LAN
MAN
WAN*
WLAN
Explain:
A local-area network (LAN) normally connects end users and network resources
over a limited geographic area using Ethernet technology. A wireless LAN (WLAN)
serves the same purpose as a LAN but uses wireless technologies. A
metropolitan-area network (MAN) spans a larger geographic area such as a city,
and a wide-area network (WAN) connects networks together over a large
geographic area. WANs can span cities, countries, or the globe.
79. A home user is looking for an ISP connection that provides high speed digital
transmission over regular phone lines. What ISP connection type should be
used?
DSL*
dial-up
satellite
cell modem
cable modem
80. How does quality of service help a network support a wide range of
applications and services?
by limiting the impact of a network failure
by allowing quick recovery from network failures
by providing mechanisms to manage congested network traffic*
by providing the ability for the network to grow to accommodate new users
Explain:
Quality of service (QoS), is a vital component of the architecture of a network. With
QoS, network administrators can provide applications with predictable and
measurable service guarantees through mechanisms that manage congested
network traffic.
81. What source IP address does a router use by default when the traceroute
command is issued?
the highest configured IP address on the router
the lowest configured IP address on the router
a loopback IP address
the IP address of the outbound interface*
Explain:
When sending an echo request message, a router will use the IP address of the
exit interface as the source IP address. This default behavior can be changed by
using an extended ping and specifying a specific source IP address.
Explain:
With the copy running-config startup-config command, the content of the current
operating configuration replaces the startup configuration file stored in NVRAM.
The configuration file saved in NVRAM will be loaded when the device is restarted.
letmein
secretin*
lineconin
linevtyin
Explain:
Telnet accesses a network device through the virtual interface configured with the
line VTY command. The password configured under this is required to access the
user EXEC mode. The password configured under the line console 0 command is
required to gain entry through the console port, and the enable and enable secret
passwords are used to allow entry into the privileged EXEC mode.
84. Match each item to the type of topology diagram on which it is typically
identified. (Not all options are used.)
Question
Answer
Explain:
A logical topology diagram typically depicts the IP addressing scheme and
groupings of devices and ports. A physical topology diagram shows how those
devices are connected to each other and the network, focusing on the physical
locations of intermediary devices, configured ports, and cabling.
85. Which connection provides a secure CLI session with encryption to a Cisco
network device?
a console connection
an AUX connection
a Telnet connection
an SSH connection*
Explain:
A CLI session using Secure Shell (SSH) provides enhanced security because
SSH supports strong passwords and encryption during the transport of session
data. The other methods support authentication but not encryption.
86. What function does pressing the Tab key have when entering a command in
IOS?
It aborts the current command and returns to configuration mode.
It exits configuration mode and returns to user EXEC mode.
It moves the cursor to the beginning of the next line.
It completes the remainder of a partially typed word in a command.*
Explain:
Pressing the Tab key after a command has been partially typed will cause the IOS
to complete the rest of the command.
Explain:
The TCP/IP model consists of four layers: application, transport, internet, and
network access. Of these four layers, it is the internet layer that is responsible for
routing messages. The session layer is not part of the TCP/IP model but is rather
part of the OSI model.
Explain:
When the data is traveling from the PC to the network, the transport layer sends
segments to the internet layer. The internet layer sends packets to the network
access layer, which creates frames and then converts the frames to bits. The bits
are released to the network media.
89. What unique address is embedded in an Ethernet NIC and used for
communication on an Ethernet network?
host address
IP address
MAC address*
network address
k layer
Explain:
The MAC address is a 48-bit address that is burned into every Ethernet NIC. Each
MAC address is unique throughout the world.
90. Which procedure is used to reduce the effect of crosstalk in copper cables?
requiring proper grounding connections
twisting opposing circuit wire pairs together*
wrapping the bundle of wires with metallic shielding
designing a cable infrastructure to avoid crosstalk interference
avoiding sharp bends during installation
Explain:
In copper cables, crosstalk is a disturbance caused by the electric or magnetic
fields of a signal on one wire interfering with the signal in an adjacent wire.
Twisting opposing circuit wire pairs together can effectively cancel the crosstalk.
The other options are effective measures to counter the negative effects of EMI
and RFI, but not crosstalk.
91. During the encapsulation process, what occurs at the data link layer for a PC
connected to an Ethernet network?
An IP address is added.
The logical address is added.
The physical address is added.*
The process port number is added.
Explain:
The Ethernet frame includes the source and destination physical address. The
trailer includes a CRC value in the Frame Check Sequence field to allow the
receiving device to determine if the frame has been changed (has errors) during
the transmission.
92. What are two characteristics of Ethernet MAC addresses? (Choose two.)
They are globally unique.*
They are routable on the Internet.
They are expressed as 12 hexadecimal digits.*
MAC addresses use a flexible hierarchical structure.
MAC addresses must be unique for both Ethernet and serial interfaces on a
device.
Explain:
An Ethernet MAC address is a 48-bit binary value expressed as 12 hexadecimal
digits. MAC addresses must be globally unique by design. MAC addresses are in
flat structure and thus they are not routable on the Internet. Serial interfaces do not
use MAC addresses.
Explain:
Ethernet standards define the minimum frame size as 64 bytes. A frame less than
64 bytes is considered a “collision fragment” or “runt frame” and is automatically
discarded by receiving devices.
94. Under which two circumstances will a switch flood a frame out of every port
except the port that the frame was received on? (Choose two.)
The frame has the broadcast address as the destination address. *
The destination address is unknown to the switch.*
The source address in the frame header is the broadcast address.
The source address in the frame is a multicast address.
The destination address in the frame is a known unicast address.
Explain:
A switch will flood a frame out of every port, except the one that the frame was
received from, under two circumstances. Either the frame has the broadcast
address as the destination address, or the destination address is unknown to the
switch.
Explain:
Fast-forward switching begins to forward a frame after reading the destination
MAC address, resulting in the lowest latency. Fragment-free reads the first 64
bytes before forwarding. Store-and-forward has the highest latency because it
reads the entire frame before beginning to forward it. Both fragment-free and fast-
forward are types of cut-through switching.
96. Which two commands can be used on a Windows host to display the routing
table? (Choose two.)
netstat -s
route print*
show ip route
netstat -r*
tracert
Explain:
On a Windows host, the route print or netstat -r commands can be used to display
the host routing table. Both commands generate the same output. On a router, the
show ip route command is used to display the routing table. The netstat –
scommand is used to display per-protocol statistics. The tracert command is used
to display the path that a packet travels to its destination.
97. Which two functions are primary functions of a router? (Choose two.)
packet forwarding*
microsegmentation
domain name resolution
path selection*
flow control
98. What is the binary representation of 0xCA?
10111010
11010101
11001010*
11011010
Explain:
When converted, CA in hex is equivalent to 11011010 in binary. One way to do the
conversion is one nibble at a time, C = 1100 and A = 1010. Combine the two
nibbles gives 11001010.
Explain:
All IPv6 enabled interfaces must at minimum have a link-local address. Other IPv6
addresses can be assigned to the interface as required.
100. Which service provides dynamic global IPv6 addressing to end devices
without using a server that keeps a record of available IPv6 addresses?
stateful DHCPv6
SLAAC*
static IPv6 addressing
stateless DHCPv6
Explain:
Using stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC), a PC can solicit a router and
receive the prefix length of the network. From this information the PC can then
create its own IPv6 global unicast address.
Explain:
The address ::1 is an IPv6 loopback address. Using the command ping ::1 tests
the internal IP stack to ensure that it is configured and functioning correctly. It does
not test reachability to any external device, nor does it confirm that IPv6 addresses
are properly configured on the host.
102. How many usable IP addresses are available on the 192.168.1.0/27 network?
256
254
62
30*
16
32
Explain:
A /27 mask is the same as 255.255.255.224. This leaves 5 host bits. With 5 host
bits, 32 IP addresses are possible, but one address represents the subnet number
and one address represents the broadcast address. Thus, 30 addresses can then
be used to assign to network devices.
103. What is the process of dividing a data stream into smaller pieces before
transmission?
segmentation*
encapsulation
encoding
flow control
Explain:
Data streams would cause significant network congestion if they were transmitted
as a single large stream of bits. To increase efficiency, data streams are
segmented into smaller more manageable pieces which are then transmitted over
the network.
Explain:
There are several components that need to be entered when configuring IPv4 for
an end device:
IPv4 address – uniquely identifies an end device on the network
Subnet mask – determines the network address portion and host portion for an
IPv4 address
Default gateway – the IP address of the router interface used for communicating
with hosts in another network
DNS server address – the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server
DHCP server address (if DHCP is used) is not configured manually on end
devices. It will be provided by a DHCP server when an end device requests an IP
address.
105. Which two roles can a computer assume in a peer-to-peer network where a
file is being shared between two computers? (Choose two.)
client*
master
server*
slave
transient
Explain:
In a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, two or more computers are connected and can
share resources without the use of a dedicated server. The computer that has the
file acts as a server for the device (the client) that requests the file.
106. Which two protocols operate at the highest layer of the TCP/IP protocol
stack? (Choose two.)
DNS*
Ethernet
IP
POP*
TCP
UDP
Explain:
The application layer is the top layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack. Application
layer protocols include HTTP, DNS, HTML, TFTP, POP, IMAP, FTP, and SMTP.
107. What is one difference between the client-server and peer-to-peer network
models?
Only in the client-server model can file transfers occur.
Every device in a peer-to-peer network can function as a client or a server.*
A peer-to-peer network transfers data faster than a transfer using a client-server
network.
A data transfer that uses a device serving in a client role requires that a dedicated
server be present.
Explain:
Data transfer speeds depend on a number of factors including the amount of
traffic, the quality of service imposed, and the network media. Transfer speeds are
not dependent on the network model type. File transfers can occur using the
client-server model or the peer-to-peer model. A data transfer between a device
acting in the client role and a device acting in the server role can occur in both
peer-to-peer and client-server networks.
Explain:
There are three common HTTP message types:
GET – used by clients to request data from the web server
POST – used by clients to upload data to a web server
PUT – used by clients to upload data to a web server
109. Which networking model is being used when an author uploads one chapter
document to a file server of a book publisher?
peer-to-peer
master-slave
client/server*
point-to-point
Explain:
In the client/server network model, a network device assumes the role of server in
order to provide a particular service such as file transfer and storage. In the
client/server network model, a dedicated server does not have to be used, but if
one is present, the network model being used is the client/server model. In
contrast, a peer-to-peer network does not have a dedicated server.
110. What network service resolves the URL entered on a PC to the IP address of
the destination server?
DNS*
DHCP
FTP
SNMP
Explain:
When a client attempts to connect to a website, the destination URL must be
resolved to an IP address. To do this the client queries a Domain Name System
(DNS) server.
Explain:
While analyzing historical reports an administrator can compare host-to-host
timers from the ping command and depict possible latency issues.
112. Which firewall feature is used to ensure that packets coming into a network
are legitimate responses to requests initiated from internal hosts?
stateful packet inspection*
URL filtering
application filtering
packet filtering
Explain:
Stateful packet inspection on a firewall checks that incoming packets are actually
legitimate responses to requests originating from hosts inside the network. Packet
filtering can be used to permit or deny access to resources based on IP or MAC
address. Application filtering can permit or deny access based on port number.
URL filtering is used to permit or deny access based on URL or on keywords.
113. What is one indication that a Windows computer did not receive an IPv4
address from a DHCP server?
The computer cannot ping 127.0.0.1.
Windows displays a DHCP timeout message.
The computer receives an IP address that starts with 169.254*
The computer cannot ping other devices on the same network with IP addresses
in the 169.254.0.0/16 range.
Explain:
When a Windows PC cannot communicate with an IPv4 DHCP server, the
computer automatically assigns an IP address in the 169.254.0.0/16 range. Any
other device on the same network that receives an address in the same range is
reachable.
Explain:
Debug messages, like other IOS log messages, are sent to the console line by
default. Sending these messages to the terminal lines requires the terminal
monitor command.
Explain:
With the development of technology, companies can now consolidate disparate
networks onto one platform called a converged network. In a converged network,
voice, video, and data travel over the same network, thus eliminating the need to
create and maintain separate networks. This also reduces the costs associated
with providing and maintaining the communication network infrastructure.
118. What characteristic of a network enables it to quickly grow to support new
users and applications without impacting the performance of the service being
delivered to existing users?
reliability
scalability*
quality of service
accessibility
Explain:
Networks must be able to quickly grow to support new users and services, without
impacting existing users and services. This ability to grow is known as scalability.
119. After several configuration changes are made to a router, the copy running-
configuration startup-configuration command is issued. Where will the changes
be stored?
flash
ROM
NVRAM*
RAM
the configuration register
a TFTP server
120. Refer to the exhibit. From global configuration mode, an administrator is
attempting to create a message-of-the-day banner by using the command banner
motd V Authorized access only! Violators will be prosecuted! V When users log
in using Telnet, the banner does not appear correctly. What is the problem?
Explain:
Switches have one or more switch virtual interfaces (SVIs). SVIs are created in
software since there is no physical hardware associated with them. Virtual
interfaces provide a means to remotely manage a switch over a network that is
using IP. Each switch comes with one SVI appearing in the default configuration
“out-of-the-box.” The default SVI interface is VLAN1.
Explain:
For a switch to have an IP address, a switch virtual interface must be configured.
This allows the switch to be managed remotely over the network.
Explain:
Before a message is sent across a network it must first be encoded. Encoding is
the process of converting the data message into another format suitable for
transmission across the physical medium. Each bit of the message is encoded into
a pattern of sounds, light waves, or electrical impulses depending on the network
media over which the bits are transmitted. The destination host receives and
decodes the signals in order to interpret the message.
Explain:
Multicast is a one-to-many type of communication. Multicast messages are
addressed to a specific multicast group.
125. A large corporation has modified its network to allow users to access
network resources from their personal laptops and smart phones. Which
networking trend does this describe?
bring your own device*
video conferencing
online collaboration
cloud computing
126. True or False.
A dedicated server is not needed when implementing a peer-to-peer network.
true*
false
127. Which term refers to a network that provides secure access to the corporate
offices by suppliers, customers and collaborators?
Internet
intranet
extranet*
extendednet
Explain:
The term Internet refers to the worldwide collection of connected networks.
Intranet refers to a private connection of LANs and WANS that belong to an
organization and is designed to be accessible to the members of the organization,
employees, or others with authorization. Extranets provide secure and safe access
to suppliers, customers, and collaborators. Extendednet is not a type of network.
128. What subnet mask is required to support 512 subnets on networks

255.255.255.240
255.255.255.128*
255.255.252.0
129. A DHCP server is used to IP addresses dynamically to the hosts on a
network. The address pool is configured with 10.29.244.0/25. There are 19
printers on this network that need to use reserve static IP addresses from the
pool. How many IP address in the pool are left to be assign to other hosts?

flash memory*
NVRAM?
RAM
ROM
a TFTP server?
134. Refer to the exhibit. Which action will be successful?
Explain:
A local-area network (LAN) normally connects end users and network resources
over a limited geographic area using Ethernet technology. A wireless LAN (WLAN)
serves the same purpose as a LAN but uses wireless technologies. A
metropolitan-area network (MAN) spans a larger geographic area such as a city,
and a wide-area network (WAN) connects networks together over a large
geographic area. WANs can span cities, countries, or the globe.

255. Refer to the exhibit. The administrator configured the access to the console
and the vty lines of a router. Which conclusion can be drawn from this
configuration?
Unauthorized individuals can connect to the router via Telnet without entering a
password.
Because the IOS includes the login command on the vty lines by default,
access to the device via Telnet will require authentication.*
Access to the vty lines will not be allowed via Telnet by anyone.
Because the login command was omitted, the password cisco command is not
applied to the vty lines.
256. An administrator issued the service password-encryption command to

broadcast.*
An ARP request is sent to all devices on the Ethernet LAN and contains the IP
address of the destination host and its multicast MAC address.
When a host is encapsulating a packet into a frame, it refers to the MAC address
table to determine the mapping of IP addresses to MAC addresses.
If no device responds to the ARP request, then the originating node will broadcast
the data packet to all devices on the network segment.
If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it
responds with an ARP reply.*
259. A network administrator is enabling services on a newly installed server.
Which two statements describe how services are used on a server? (Choose

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.*
A client must wait for lease expiration before it sends another DHCPREOUEST
message.
The DHCPDISCOVER message contains the IP address and sub net masK to be
assigned, the IP address of the DNS server, and the IP address of the default
gateway.
If the client receives several DHCPOFFER messages from different servers, it
sends a unicast DHCPREOUEST message to the server from which it chooses to
obtain the IP information.

linevtyin
Explain:
Telnet accesses a network device through the virtual interface configured with the
line VTY command. The password configured under this is required to access the
user EXEC mode. The password configured under the line console 0 command is
required to gain entry through the console port, and the enable and enable secret
passwords are used to allow entry into the privileged EXEC mode.
269. How many bits would need to be borrowed if a network admin were given

My final exam will be on December 2nd 2019. Will the questions be the same?
Guest Normally, the CCNA1 that I’m studying says CCNA 2020, so it means that the
final exam of December 2nd 2019 will be the final exam 2019(your version) or
another one of 2020?
