Q

You want to implement a mechanism that automates the IP configuration, including IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS information. Which protocol will you use to accomplish this?

Q

Which of the following describe the DHCP Discover message? (Choose two.)

It uses FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF as a Layer 2 broadcast.

It uses UDP as the Transport layer protocol.

It uses TCP as the Transport layer protocol.

It does not use a Layer 2 destination address.

A

It uses FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF as a Layer 2 broadcast.

It uses UDP as the Transport layer protocol.

A client that sends out a DHCP Discover message in order to receive an IP address sends out a broadcast at both Layer 2 and Layer 3. The Layer 2 broadcast is all Fs in hex, or FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. The Layer 3 broadcast is 255.255.255.255, which means all networks and all hosts. DHCP is connectionless, which means it uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) at the Transport layer, also called the Host-to-Host layer

UDP, 23

ICMP, 21

TCP, 23

Q

Which statements are true regarding ICMP packets? (Choose two.)

They acknowledge receipt of a TCP segment.

They guarantee datagram delivery.

They can provide hosts with information about network problems.

They are encapsulated within IP datagrams.

A

They can provide hosts with information about network problems.

They are encapsulated within IP datagrams.

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used to send error messages through the network, but ICMP does not work alone. Every segment or ICMP payload must be encapsulated within an IP datagram (or packet)

IP

TCP

Telnet

FTP

TFTP

A

Telnet

FTP

TFTP

Telnet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Trivial FTP (TFTP) are all Application layer protocols. IP is a Network layer protocol. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a Transport layer protocol

Q

Which of the following protocols is used by email servers to exchange messages with one another?

POP3

IMAP

SMTP

A

SMTP

SMTP is used by a client to send mail to its server and by that server to send mail to another server. POP3 and IMAP are used by clients to retrieve their mail from the server that stores it until it is retrieved. HTTP is only used with web-based mail services

Q

You need to have a connection to run applications that are installed on only your desktop computer at your office. Which protocol will provide a GUI interface to your work computer?

Telnet

FTP

RDP

A

RDP

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) allows you to connect to a remote computer and run programs, as Telnet does. However, the large advantage that RDP has over Telnet is that RDP allows you to have a GUI interface connection

Q

Which of the following protocols can use TCP and UDP, permits authentication and secure polling of network devices, and allows for automated alerts and reports on network devices?

DNS

SNMP

SMTP

A

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol is typically implemented using version 3, which allows for a connection-oriented service, authentication and secure polling of network devices, and alerts and reports on network devices

Q

You need to transfer files between two hosts. Which protocol can you use?

RIP

NTP

FTP

A

FTP

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) can be used to transfer files between two systems

17
Q

What layer in the IP stack is equivalent to the Transport layer of the OSI model?

Application

Host-to-Host

Internet

A

Host-to-Host

The four layers of the IP stack (also called the DoD model) are Application/Process, Host-to-Host, Internet, and Network Access. The Host-to-Host layer is equivalent to the Transport layer of the OSI model

18
Q

You need to make sure that the time is consistent across all your network devices. What protocol do you need to run on your network?

FTP

SCP

NTP

A

NTP

Network Time Protocol will ensure a consistent time across network devices on the network

19
Q

Which of the following allows a server to distinguish among different simultaneous requests from the same host?

They use different port numbers.

A NAT server changes the IP address for subsequent requests.

A server is unable to accept multiple simultaneous sessions from the same host. One session must end before another can begin.

A

They use different port numbers.

Through the use of port numbers, TCP and UDP can establish multiple sessions between the same two hosts without creating any confusion. The sessions can be between the same or different applications, such as multiple web-browsing sessions or a web-browsing session and an FTP session

20
Q

Which of the following uses both TCP and UDP?

SMTP

Telnet

DNS

A

DNS

DNS uses TCP for zone exchanges between servers and UDP when a client is trying to resolve a hostname to an IP address
