Q

Which function is performed by the collapsed core layer in a two-tier architecture?

A

enforcing routing policies.

24
Q

What is the primary function of a Layer 3 device?

A

to pass traffic between different networks.

25
Q

Which two functions are performed by the core layer in a three-tier architecture?

A

Provide uninterrupted forwarding service.
Ensure timely data transfer between layers.

26
Q

What is a recommended approach to avoid co-channel congestion while installing access points that use the 2.4 GHz frequency?

A

different nonoverlapping channels

27
Q

What are two functions of a Layer 2 switch?

A

moves packets within a VLAN.
makes forwarding decisions based on the MAC address of a packet.

28
Q

Which networking function occurs on the data plane?

A

forwarding remote client/server traffic

29
Q

What is a role of access points in an enterprise network?

A

connect wireless devices to a wired network.

30
Q

How does a Cisco Unified Wireless Network respond to Wi-Fi channel overlap?

A

It analyzes client load and background noise and dynamically assigns a channel.

31
Q

In which situation is private IPv4 addressing appropriate for a new subnet on the network of an organization?

A

There is limited unique address space, and traffic on the new subnet will stay local within the organization.

32
Q

Which network action occurs within the data plane?

A

compare the destination IP address to the IP routing table.

33
Q

Which two network actions occur within the data plane?

A

Add or remove an 802.1Q trunking header.
Match the destination MAC address to the MAC address table.

34
Q

Why was the RFC 1918 address space defined?

A

To conserve public IPv4 addressing

35
Q

What is an appropriate use for private IPv4 addressing?

A

on hosts that communicate only with other internal hosts

36
Q

What is a requirement for nonoverlapping Wi-Fi channels?

A

discontinuous frequency ranges

37
Q

A network engineer is installing an IPv6-only capable device. The client has requested that the device IP address be reachable only from the internal network. Which type of IPv6 address must the engineer assign?

A

link-local address

38
Q

What are two characteristics of an SSID?

A

It uniquely identifies an access point in a WLAN.
It provides secured access to a WLAN.

39
Q

What is the collapsed layer in collapsed core architectures?

A

supports a single access point.

41
Q

Which two characteristics describe the access layer in a three-tier network architecture?

A

42
Q

Which PoE mode enables powered-devices detection and guarantees power when the device detected?

A

44
Q

Which property is shared by 10GBase-SR and 10GBase-LR interfaces?

A

Both require fiber cable media for transmission.

Which key function is provided by the data plane?

A

Forwarding traffic to the next hop.

A network engineer finds minimal latency on connections to the server, but data transfers are unreliable, and the output of the show interfaces counters errors command shows a high FCS-Err count on the interface that is connected to the server. What is the cause of the throughput issue?

A

a physical cable fault.

50
Q

What is the difference between 1000BASE-LX/LH and 1000BASE-ZX interfaces?

What are two reasons to implement IPv4 private addressing on a network?

A

To provide protection from external denial-of-service attacks.
To conserve global unique IPv4 addresses.

52
Q

Which concern is addressed with the use of private IPv4 addressing?
