23
Q
  1. Why was IPv4 designed as a connectionless protocol?
A

IP is connectionless, which greatly reduces the overhead of IP.
Therefore, there is no initial exchange of control information before
packets are forwarded, and no additional fields exist in the header to maintain an established connection

24

    determine that the maximum number of hops has been reached by the
    packet on its way from the source to this destination?
A

C. TTL

25
Q
  1. When configuring a host, the gateway was not configured. How will
    this affect communication to and from this device?
A

C. Communication will be limited to hosts in the local network.

26
Q

. In what part of a router is the running configuration being used
located?

A

RAM

27
Q
  1. During the boot process of a Cisco router, you notice a series of hash
    symbols (#) appearing on the terminal emulator screen from the console
    session. In what phase is the boot process?
A

B. Loading the IOS

28
Q

What are the required steps for configuring an interface on a router?

A

Provide Layer 3 addressing info
activate the interface

29
Q

The ip default-gateway command was not used when
configuring a switch. How will this affect network communication?

A

A. Host communication through the switch will not be affected.
E. Communication to and from the switch will be limited to hosts in
the local network.

30
Q
  1. When using the netstat -r command on a host, you see a route
    0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0. What does this route represent?
A

C. Destinations without a specified route are forwarded to the gateway.

31
Q

. What are the parts of an IPv4 address? (Choose two.)

A

A. Host
B. Network

32
Q
  1. What is the purpose of the network address?

33
Q
  1. What are characteristics in common among unicast, broadcast, and
    multicast IPv4 communication? (Choose two.)

C. There are never multiple destination addresses in the header.

34
Q

. Which of the following IPv4 addresses would be used in a private
network?

A

D. 192.168.1.1

35
Q
  1. What is the principal reason for the development of IPv6?
A

overcome ipv4 exhaustion

36
Q
  1. How are IPv6 addresses represented?

    limited to a single network segment?
A

B. Link-local

38
Q
  1. What methods automatically provide IPv6 global unicast addresses?
    (Choose two.)
A

A. SLAAC
B. Stateful DHCPv6

one in the department is able to print. What is the cause of the problem?

A

C. The printer has been assigned an address on another subnet.

50
Q

addresses for this subnet without wasting addresses?

A

B. 6

51
Q

A

C. 255.255.248.0

52

VLSM

53
Q

A network administrator has borrowed 3 bits from the 10.20.0.0/25

first subnet for point-to-point serial WAN connections each requiring
two addresses. How many WAN connections can the administrator
address using only the first subnet if he is using VLSM?

A

4

54
Q

A network administrator has decided to use VLSM to subnet the
10.11.0.0/20 network to provide addresses for two new departments
and the point-to-point link that separates the two departments. The first
department has 796 users and the second department has 31 users. The
WAN link requires only two addresses. Which of the following subnets
will provide the required contiguous space and waste the fewest
addresses? (Choose three.)
