Which of the following is a measure of data transferred from one host to another in a given amount of time?
- Reliability
- Response time
- Throughput
- Jitter
C. Throughput is the measure of data transferred from one host to another in a given amount of time.
Which of the following is a description of the key design principle scalability?
- Modularity with additional devices, services, and technologies
- Redundancy through hardware, software, and connectivity
- Ease of managing and maintaining the infrastructure
- Providing enough capacity and bandwidth for applications
A. Modularity with additional devices, services, and technologies is a description of the key design principle scalability.
What percentage of availability allows for four hours of downtime in a year?
- 99.5%
- 99.99%
- 99.999%
- 99.95%
D. 8756 / 8760 × 100 yields the availability percentage, which is 99.95%.
What Internet connectivity option provides the highest level of resiliency for services?
- Single-router dual-homed
- Single-router single-homed
- Dual-router dual-homed
- Shared DMZ
C. The highest level of resiliency for services avoids single points of failures for both the router and the circuits by using dual routers with one circuit per router.
Which of the following eliminates single points of failures with the router and the circuit?
- Dual-router dual-homed
- Single-router dual-homed
- Shared DMZ
- Single-router single-homed
A. To eliminate single points of failures on both routers and circuits, you need dual routers with one circuit per router.
What backup option allows for both a backup link and load-sharing capabilities using the available bandwidth?
- Dial backup
- Secondary WAN link
- IPsec tunnel
- GRE tunnel
B. Adding a secondary WAN link makes the network more fault tolerant by allowing for both a backup link and load sharing.
Which of the following adds a strict priority queue to modular class-based QoS?
- FIFO
- CBWFQ
- WFQ
- LLQ
D. Low-latency queuing (LLQ) adds a strict priority queue to CBWFQ.
Which of the following is a mechanism to handle traffic overflow using a queuing algorithm with QoS?
- Congestion management
- Traffic shaping and policing
- Classification
- Link efficiency
A. Congestion management is a mechanism to handle traffic overflow using a queuing algorithm.
Which QoS model uses Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) to explicitly request QoS for the application along the end-to-end path through devices in the network?
- DiffServ
- IntServ
- CBWFQ
- BE
B. IntServ uses Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) to explicitly request QoS for the application along the end-to-end path through devices in the network.
What technique does traffic shaping use to release the packets into the output queue at a preconfigured rate?
- Token bucket
- Leaky bucket
- Tagging
- Interleaving
A. The token bucket technique uses traffic shaping to release the packets into the output queue at a preconfigured rate.
Which of the following is based on the availability of technology as well as the projected traffic patterns, technology performance, constraints, and reliability?
- Designing the topology
- Assessing the existing network
- Identifying the network requirements
- Characterize the existing network
A. Designing the topology is based on the availability of technology as well as the projected traffic patterns, technology performance, constraints, and reliability.
Which design principle involves redundancy through hardware, software, and connectivity?
- Performance
- Security
- Scalability
- High availability
- D. High availability is a design principle that involves redundancy through hardware, software, and connectivity.
Which application requires round-trip times of less than 400 ms with low delay and jitter?
- Data file transfer
- Real-time voice
- Real-time video
- Interactive data
B. Real-time voice is an application that requires round-trip times of less than 400 ms with low delay and jitter.
Which of the following is a measure of a given application’s availability to its users?
- Response time
- Throughput
- Reliability
- Performance
C. Reliability is a measure of a given application’s availability to its users.
Which of the following defines the upper limit of frames that can be transmitted without a return acknowledgment?
- Throughput
- Link efficiency
- Window size
- Low-latency queuing
C. Window size defines the upper limit of frames that can be transmitted without a return acknowledgment.
Which of the following is the availability target range for branch WAN high availability?
- 99.9900%
- 99.9000%
- 99.0000%
- 99.9999%
A. The availability target range for branch WAN high availability is 99.9900%.
