Cisco Theory Flashcards
A network administrator is using the router-on-a-stick method to configure inter-VLAN routing. Switch port Gi1/1 is used to connect to the router. Which command should be entered to prepare this port for the task?
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Refer to the exhibit. The configuration shows commands entered by a network administrator for inter-VLAN routing. However, host H1 cannot communicate with H2. Which part of the inter-VLAN configuration causes the problem?
VLAN configuration
Refer to the exhibit. Inter-VLAN communication between VLAN 10, VLAN 20, and VLAN 30 is not successful. What is the problem?
The switch interface FastEthernet0/1 is configured as an access interface and should be configured as a trunk interface.
An employee connects wirelessly to the company network using a cell phone. The employee then configures the cell phone to act as a wireless access point that will allow new employees to connect to the company network. Which type of security threat best describes this situation?
rogue access point
Which combination of WLAN authentication and encryption is recommended as a best practice for home users?
WPA2 and AES
- What are the two methods that a wireless NIC can use to discover an AP? (Choose two.)
transmitting a probe request
and
receiving a broadcast beacon frame
- What address and prefix length is used when configuring an IPv6 default static route?
::/0
- Refer to the exhibit. Match the description with the routing table entries. (Not all options are used.)
Graphic contains output of show ip route as follows:
R3# show ip route 172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 3 subnets
C 172.16.0.0 is directly connected, Serial0/1/0
D 172.16.1.0 [90/21024000] via 172.16.0.1, 00:22:15, Serial0/1/0
C 172.16.2.0 is directly connected, Serial0/1/0
10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
S 10.2.0.0/24 [1/0] via 172.16.2.2
C 10.3.0.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
- route source protocol
- destination network
- metric
- administrative distate
- next hop
- route timestamp
- 172.16.2.2 => next hop
- 10.3.0.0 => destination network
- 2104000 => metric
- -
- 1 => administrative distance
- 00:22:15 => route timestamp
- D => route source protocol
- -
- Refer to the exhibit. Which interface will be the exit interface to forward a data packet that has the destination IP address 172.18.109.152?
Serial0/0/0
- Match the dynamic routing protocol component to the characteristic. (Not all options are used.)
data structures => tables or database that are stored in RAM
routing protocol messages => exchange routing information and maintains accurate information about networks
algorithm => a finite list of steps used to determine the best path
- Which statement describes the behavior of a switch when the MAC address table is full?
It treats frames as unknown unicast and floods all incoming frames to all ports within the local VLAN.
Which term describes the role of a Cisco switch in the 802.1X port-based access control?
authenticator
- What is a result of connecting two or more switches together?
The size of the broadcast domain is increased.
- 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?
Segment the LAN into smaller LANs and route between them.
15.Refer to the exhibit. How is a frame sent from PCA forwarded to PCC if the MAC address table on switch SW1 is empty?
SW1 floods the frame on all ports on SW1, excluding the port through which the frame entered the switch.
- What are two switch characteristics that could help alleviate network congestion? (Choose two.)
fast internal switching
large frame buffers
- A network engineer is configuring a LAN with a redundant first hop to make better use of the available network resources. Which protocol should the engineer implement?
GLBP
- Match the FHRP protocols to the appropriate description. (Not all options are used.)
a Cisco proprietary FHRP that provides load sharing in addition to redundancy => GLBP
a Cisco proprietary FHRP that provides redundancy through use of an active device and standby device => HSRP
an open standard FHRP that provides redundancy through use of a virtual routers master and one of more backups => VRRP
- After sticky learning of MAC addresses is enabled, what action is needed to prevent dynamically learned MAC addresses from being lost in the event that an associated interface goes down?
Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.
- A small coffee shop is offering free Wi-Fi to customers. The network includes a wireless router and a DSL modem that is connected to the local phone company. What method is typically used to configure the connection to the phone company?
Set the WAN connection in the wireless router as a DHCP client.
- Match the purpose with its DHCP message type. (Not all options are used.)
DHCPREQUEST => a message that is used to identify the explicit server and lease offer to accept
DHCPDISCOVER => a message that is used to locate any available DHCP server on a network
DHCPOFFER => a message that is used to suggest a lease to a client
DHCPACK => a message that is used to acknowledge that the lease is successful
- Match the spanning-tree feature with the protocol type. (Not all options are used.)
PVST+ => Cisco implementation of IEEE 802.1D
RSTP => Fast converging enhancement of IEEE 802.1D
MSTP => IEEE standard that reduces the number of STP instances
Rapid PVST+ => Proprietary per VLAN implementation of IEEE 802.1w
