entered the switch.

ports on SW1, excluding the
port through which the frame
entered the switch.

15. An administrator is trying to remove configurations from a switch. After using the
command erase startup-config and reloading the switch, the administrator finds that VLANs

located in flash memory, this file must be manually deleted.

the wireless network performance is poor. To improve performance the network engineer
decides to configure a 5 Ghz frequency band SSID and train users to use that SSID for
streaming media services. Why might this solution improve the wireless network performance
for that type of service?

• Requiring the users to switch to the 5 GHz band for streaming media is inconvenient and
will result in fewer users accessing these services.
• The 5 GHz band has more channels and is less crowded than the 2.4 GHz
band, which makes it more suited to streaming multimedia.
• The 5 GHz band has a greater range and is therefore likely to be interference-free.
• The only users that can switch to the 5 GHz band will be those with the latest wireless NICs,
which will reduce usage.

92. After a host has generated an IPv6 address by using the DHCPv6 or SLAAC process, how
does the host verify that the address is unique and therefore usable?

• The host sends an ICMPv6 echo request message to the DHCPv6 or SLAAC-learned
address and if no reply is returned, the address is considered unique.
• The host sends an ICMPv6 neighbor solicitation message to the DHCP or
SLAAC-learned address and if no neighbor advertisement is returned, the
address is considered unique.
• The host checks the local neighbor cache for the learned address and if the address is not
cached, it it considered unique.

considered unique.

this?

• DTLS only provides data security through authentication and does not provide encryption
for data moving between a wireless LAN controller (WLC) and an access point (AP).
• Although DTLS is enabled by default to secure the CAPWAP control
channel, it is disabled by default for the data channel.
• DTLS is a protocol that only provides security between the access point (AP) and the

being enabled on the wireless LAN controller (WLC).

• These VLANs cannot be deleted unless the switch is in VTP client mode.
• These VLANs can only be removed from the switch by using the no vlan 10 and no vlan 100
commands.

158. What address and prefix length is used when configuring an IPv6 default static route?

• ::/0
• FF02::1/8
• 0.0.0.0/0
• ::1/128
159. What are two characteristics of Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)? (Choose two.)

• When a packet arrives on a router interface, it is forwarded to the control plane where the
CPU matches the destination address with a matching routing table entry.
• This is the fastest forwarding mechanism on Cisco routers and multilayer
switches.
• With this switching method, flow information for a packet is stored in the fast-switching
cache to forward future packets to the same destination without CPU intervention.
• Packets are forwarded based on information in the FIB and an adjacency
table.
• When a packet arrives on a router interface, it is forwarded to the control plane where the
CPU searches for a match in the fast-switching cache.

160. Which term describes the role of a Cisco switch in the 802.1X port-based access control?

• agent
• supplicant
• authenticator
• authentication server

161. Which Cisco solution helps prevent ARP spoofing and ARP poisoning attacks?

• Dynamic ARP Inspection

• IP Source Guard
• DHCP Snooping
• Port Security

162. What is an advantage of PVST+?

• PVST+ optimizes performance on the network through autoselection of the root bridge.
• PVST+ reduces bandwidth consumption compared to traditional implementations of STP
that use CST.
• PVST+ requires fewer CPU cycles for all the switches in the network.
• PVST+ optimizes performance on the network through load sharing.

PVST+ results in optimum load balancing. However, this is accomplished by manually configuring
switches to be elected as root bridges for different VLANs on the network. The root bridges are not
automatically selected. Furthermore, having spanning-tree instances for each VLAN actually
consumes more bandwidth and it increases the CPU cycles for all the switches in the network.

163. What protocol or technology uses a standby router to assume packet-forwarding

responsibility if the active router fails?

• EtherChannel
• DTP
• HSRP
• VTP

164. What is the effect of entering the show ip dhcp snooping binding configuration command
on a switch?
 • It switches a trunk port to access mode.
• It checks the source L2 address in the Ethernet header against the sender L2 address in the
ARP body.
• It restricts the number of discovery messages, per second, to be received on the interface.
• It displays the IP-to-MAC address associations for switch interfaces.

165. What action takes place when the source MAC address of a frame entering a switch is in
the MAC address table?

• The switch forwards the frame out of the specified port.

• The switch updates the refresh timer for the entry.
• The switch replaces the old entry and uses the more current port.
• The switch adds a MAC address table entry for the destination MAC address and the egress
port.

166. A small publishing company has a network design such that when a broadcast is sent on
the LAN, 200 devices receive the transmitted broadcast. How can the network administrator
reduce the number of devices that receive broadcast traffic?

• Add more switches so that fewer devices are on a particular switch.

• Replace the switches with switches that have more ports per switch. This will allow more
devices on a particular switch.
• Segment the LAN into smaller LANs and route between them.*
• Replace at least half of the switches with hubs to reduce the size of the broadcast domain.

Explain: By dividing the one big network into two smaller network, the network administrator has
created two smaller broadcast domains. When a broadcast is sent on the network now, the broadcast
will only be sent to the devices on the same Ethernet LAN. The other LAN will not receive the
broadcast.

167. What defines a host route on a Cisco router?

• The link-local address is added automatically to the routing table as an IPv6 host route.
• An IPv4 static host route configuration uses a destination IP address of a
specific device and a /32 subnet mask.
• A host route is designated with a C in the routing table.
• A static IPv6 host route must include the interface type and the interface number of the next
hop router.

168. What else is required when configuring an IPv6 static route using a next-hop link-local
address?

• administrative distance
• ip address of the neighbor router
• network number and subnet mask on the interface of the neighbor router
• interface number and type

169. A technician is configuring a wireless network for a small business using a SOHO
wireless router. Which two authentication methods are used, if the router is configured with
WPA2? (Choose two.)

• personal
• AES
 • TKIP
• WEP
• enterprise

170. Which mitigation technique would prevent rogue servers from providing false IPv6
configuration parameters to clients?

• enabling DHCPv6 Guard

• enabling RA Guard
• implementing port security on edge ports
• disabling CDP on edge ports

171. A PC has sent an RS message to an IPv6 router attached to the same network. Which two
pieces of information will the router send to the client? (Choose two.)

• prefix length
• subnet mask in dotted decimal notation
• domain name
• administrative distance
• prefix
• DNS server IP address

172. While attending a conference, participants are using laptops for network connectivity.
When a guest speaker attempts to connect to the network, the laptop fails to display any
available wireless networks. The access point must be operating in which mode?

• mixed
• passive
• active
• open

173. Which three components are combined to form a bridge ID?

• extended system ID
• cost
• IP address
• bridge priority
• MAC address
• port ID
