Q

What is the most secure method to protect access to privileged EXEC mode?

a. enable secret
b. enable password
c. enable password with service password-encryption

A

a. enable secret

enable secret command configures a password that is automatically encrypted. It uses MD5, a more secure form of encryption

Q

If both the enable password and the enable secret command are configured, what will happen when you use enable to enter privileged EXEC mode?

a. you must enter the enable password, followed by the enable secret
b. you must enter the enable password only
c. you must enter the enable secret only

A

c. you must enter the enable secret only

Secret always takes priority over password, and you will never be asked to enter both.

36
Q

You connect two old routers together with a UTP cable, however data is not successfully sent and received between them. What could be the problem?

a. they are connected with a straight-through cable
b. they are connected with a crossover cable
c. they are operating in Auto MDI-X mode

A

a. they are connected with a straight-through cable

37
Q

What is a crossover cable?

A

A crossover cable enables devices that transmit and receive on the same pins to still communicate by crossing over the pins.

38
Q

What does Auto MDI-X mean?

A

Auto MDI-X allows devices to detect which pins and wires their neighbor is using to transmit and receive data, and adjust their own operations to match.

39
Q

What kind of cable should you use to connect two switches that are about 150 meters apart and keep costs down?

A

Multimode fiber because multimode is cheaper than single-mode.

40
Q

What kind of cable should you use to connect two switches that are about 3 kilometers apart?

A

Single-mode fiber

Q

What kind of cable should you use to connect many end hosts to a switch on the same office floor?

A

UTP

42
Q

What is a networking model?

A

Networking models categorize and provide a structure for networking protocols and standards.
