Which wireless technology has low-power and data rate requirements making it popular in home automation applications?
ZigBee
LoRaWAN
5G
Wi-Fi
ZigBee
Explanation: ZigBee is an IEEE 802.15.4 wireless standard designed for creating personal-area networks. Low energy, power, and data rate requirements make Zigbee a popular protocol for connecting home automation devices.
Which layer of the TCP/IP model provides a route to forward messages through an internetwork?
application
network access
internet
transport
internet
Explain:
The OSI model network layer corresponds directly to the internet layer of the TCP/IP model and is used to describe protocols that address and route messages through an internetwork.
Which type of server relies on record types such as A, NS, AAAA, and MX in order to provide services?
DNS
email
file
web
DNS
Explain:
A DNS server stores records that are used to resolve IP addresses to host names. Some DNS record types include the following:
A – an end device IPv4 address
NS – an authoritative name server
AAAA – an end device IPv6 address
MX – a mail exchange record
What are proprietary protocols?
protocols developed by private organizations to operate on any vendor hardware
protocols that can be freely used by any organization or vendor
protocols developed by organizations who have control over their definition and operation
a collection of protocols known as the TCP/IP protocol suite
protocols developed by organizations who have control over their definition and operation
Explain:
Proprietary protocols have their definition and operation controlled by one company or vendor. Some of them can be used by different organizations with permission from the owner. The TCP/IP protocol suite is an open standard, not a proprietary protocol.
What service is provided by DNS?
Resolves domain names, such as cisco.com, into IP addresses.
A basic set of rules for exchanging text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files on the web.
Allows for data transfers between a client and a file server.
Uses encryption to secure the exchange of text, graphic images, sound, and video on the web.
Resolves domain names, such as cisco.com, into IP addresses.
A client packet is received by a server. The packet has a destination port number of 110. What service is the client requesting?
DNS
DHCP
SMTP
POP3
POP3
What command can be used on a Windows PC to see the IP configuration of that computer?
show ip interface brief
ping
show interfaces
ipconfig
ipconfig
A wired laser printer is attached to a home computer. That printer has been shared so that other computers on the home network can also use the printer. What networking model is in use?
client-based
master-slave
point-to-point
peer-to-peer (P2P)
peer-to-peer (P2P)
Explanation: Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have two or more network devices that can share resources such as printers or files without having a dedicated server.
What characteristic describes a virus?
a network device that filters access and traffic coming into a network
the use of stolen credentials to access private data
an attack that slows or crashes a device or network service
malicious software or code running on an end device
malicious software or code running on an end device
Three bank employees are using the corporate network. The first employee uses a web browser to view a company web page in order to read some announcements. The second employee accesses the corporate database to perform some financial transactions. The third employee participates in an important live audio conference with other corporate managers in branch offices. If QoS is implemented on this network, what will be the priorities from highest to lowest of the different data types?
financial transactions, web page, audio conference
audio conference, financial transactions, web page
financial transactions, audio conference, web page
audio conference, web page, financial transactions
audio conference, financial transactions, web page
Explanation: QoS mechanisms enable the establishment of queue management strategies that enforce priorities for different categories of application data. Thus, this queuing enables voice data to have priority over transaction data, which has priority over web data.
Match the description to the IPv6 addressing component. (Not all options are used.)
VER IMAGEM
Place the options in the following order:
This network portion of the address is assigned by the provider. global routing
This part of the address is used by an organization to identify subnets. subnet ID
This part of the address is the equivalent to the host portion of an IPv4 address. interface ID
Refer to the exhibit. If Host1 were to transfer a file to the server, what layers of the TCP/IP model would be used?
only application and Internet layers
only Internet and network access layers
only application, Internet, and network access layers
application, transport, Internet, and network access layers
only application, transport, network, data link, and physical layers
application, session, transport, network, data link, and physical layers
VER IMAGEM
application, transport, Internet, and network access layers
Explanation: The TCP/IP model contains the application, transport, internet, and network access layers. A file transfer uses the FTP application layer protocol. The data would move from the application layer through all of the layers of the model and across the network to the file server.
Match the characteristic to the forwarding method. (Not all options are used.)
VER IMAGEM
Explanation: A store-and-forward switch always stores the entire frame before forwarding, and checks its CRC and frame length. A cut-through switch can forward frames before receiving the destination address field, thus presenting less latency than a store-and-forward switch. Because the frame can begin to be forwarded before it is completely received, the switch may transmit a corrupt or runt frame. All forwarding methods require a Layer 2 switch to forward broadcast frames.
Refer to the exhibit. The IP address of which device interface should be used as the default gateway setting of host H1?
R1: S0/0/0
R2: S0/0/1
R1: G0/0
R2: S0/0/0
VER IMAGEM
Explanation: The default gateway for host H1 is the router interface that is attached to the LAN that H1 is a member of. In this case, that is the G0/0 interface of R1. H1 should be configured with the IP address of that interface in its addressing settings. R1 will provide routing services to packets from H1 that need to be forwarded to remote networks.
What service is provided by Internet Messenger?

Refer to the exhibit. Match the network with the correct IP address and prefix that will satisfy the usable host addressing requirements for each network.
VER IMAGEM
Explanation: Network A needs to use 192.168.0.128 /25, which yields 128 host addresses.
Network B needs to use 192.168.0.0 /26, which yields 64 host addresses.
Network C needs to use 192.168.0.96 /27, which yields 32 host addresses.
Network D needs to use 192.168.0.80/30, which yields 4 host addresses.
Refer to the exhibit. Which protocol was responsible for building the table that is shown?
DHCP
ARP
DNS

VER IMAGEM
R: ARP
Explanation: The table that is shown corresponds to the output of the arp -a command, a command that is used on a Windows PC to display the ARP table.
