2. Which term refers to a network that provides secure access to the corporate
offices by suppliers, customers and collaborators?
Internet
intranet
extranet
extendednet
Explanation: The term Internet refers to the worldwide collection of connected
networks. Intranet refers to a private connection of LANs and WANS that belong to
an organization and is designed to be accessible to the members of the organization,
employees, or others with authorization. Extranets provide secure and safe access
to suppliers, customers, and collaborators. Extendednet is not a type of network.
3. A large corporation has modified its network to allow users to access network
resources from their personal laptops and smart phones. Which networking
trend does this describe?
cloud computing
online collaboration
bring your own device
video conferencing
Explanation: BYOD allows end users to use personal tools to access the corporate
network. Allowing this trend can have major impacts on a network, such as security
and compatibility with corporate software and devices.
4. What is an ISP?
It is a standards body that develops cabling and wiring standards for
networking.
It is a protocol that establishes how computers within a local network
communicate.
It is an organization that enables individuals and businesses to connect
to the Internet.
It is a networking device that combines the functionality of several different
networking devices in one.
Explanation: An ISP, or Internet Service Provider, is an organization that provides
access to the Internet for businesses and individuals.
9. Match each characteristic to its corresponding Internet connectivity type. (Not all
options are used.)
DSL: high bandwidth connection that runs over a telephone line
Dialup Telephone: typically has very low bandwidth
Setellite: not suited for wooded areas
Cable: uses coaxial cable as medium
Explanation: DSL is an always-on, high bandwidth connection that runs over
telephone lines. Cable uses the same coaxial cable that carries television signals
into the home to provide Internet access. Dialup telephone is much slower than
either DSL or cable, but is the least expensive option for home users because it can
use any telephone line and a simple modem. Satellite requires a clear line of sight
and is affected by trees and other obstructions. None of these typical home options
use dedicated leased lines such as T1/E1 and T3/E3.
10. What two criteria are used to help select a network medium from various
network media? (Choose two.)
the types of data that need to be prioritized
the cost of the end devices utilized in the network
the distance the selected medium can successfully carry a signal
the number of intermediate devices installed in the network
the environment where the selected medium is to be installed
Explanation: Criteria for choosing a network medium are the distance the selected
medium can successfully carry a signal, the environment in which the selected
medium is to be installed, the amount of data and the speed at which the data must
be transmitted, and the cost of the medium and its installation.
12. A user is implementing security on a small office network. Which two actions
would provide the minimum security requirements for this network? (Choose two.)
implementing a firewall
installing a wireless network
installing antivirus software
implementing an intrusion detection system
adding a dedicated intrusion prevention device
Explanation: Technically complex security measures such as intrusion prevention
and intrusion prevention systems are usually associated with business networks
rather than home networks. Installing antivirus software, antimalware software, and
implementing a firewall will usually be the minimum requirements for home networks.
Installing a home wireless network will not improve network security, and will require
further security actions to be taken.
13. Passwords can be used to restrict access to all or parts of the Cisco IOS. Select
the modes and interfaces that can be protected with passwords. (Choose
three.)
VTY interface
console interface
Ethernet interface
boot IOS mode
privileged EXEC mode
router configuration mode
Explanation: Access to the VTY and console interfaces can be restricted using
passwords. Out-of-band management of the router can be restricted in both user
EXEC and privileged EXEC modes.
15. What function does pressing the Tab key have when entering a command in
IOS?
It aborts the current command and returns to configuration mode.
It exits configuration mode and returns to user EXEC mode.
It moves the cursor to the beginning of the next line.
It completes the remainder of a partially typed word in a command.
Explanation: Pressing the Tab key after a command has been partially typed will
cause the IOS to complete the rest of the command.
16. While trying to solve a network issue, a technician made multiple changes to the
current router configuration file. The changes did not solve the problem and were
not saved. What action can the technician take to discard the changes and work
with the file in NVRAM?
Issue the reload command without saving the running configuration.
Delete the vlan.dat file and reboot the device.
Issue the copy startup-config running-config command.
Explanation: The technician does not want to make any mistakes trying to remove
all the changes that were done to the running configuration file. The solution is to
reboot the router without saving the running configuration. The copy startup-config
running-config command does not overwrite the running configuration file with the
configuration file stored in NVRAM, but rather it just has an additive effect.
20. Which command or key combination allows a user to return to the previous
level in the command hierarchy?
end
exit
Ctrl-Z
Ctrl-C
Explanation: End and CTRL-Z return the user to the privileged EXEC mode. Ctrl-C
ends a command in process. The exit command returns the user to the previous
level.
21. What are two characteristics of RAM on a Cisco device? (Choose two.)
RAM provides nonvolatile storage.
The configuration that is actively running on the device is stored in
RAM.
The contents of RAM are lost during a power cycle.
RAM is a component in Cisco switches but not in Cisco routers.
RAM is able to store multiple versions of IOS and configuration files.
Explanation: RAM stores data that is used by the device to support network
operations. The running configuration is stored in RAM. This type of memory is
considered volatile memory because data is lost during a power cycle. Flash
memory stores the IOS and delivers a copy of the IOS into RAM when a device is
powered on. Flash memory is nonvolatile since it retains stored contents during a
loss of power.
22. Which two host names follow the guidelines for naming conventions on
Cisco IOS devices? (Choose two.)
Branch2!
RM-3-Switch-2A4
Floor(15)
HO Floor 17
SwBranch799
Explanation: Some guidelines for naming conventions are that names should:
Start with a letter
Contain no spaces
End with a letter or digit
Use only letters, digits, and dashes
Be less than 64 characters in length
Explanation: The configuration mode that the administrator first encounters is user
EXEC mode. After the enable command is entered, the next mode is privileged
EXEC mode. From there, the configure terminal command is entered to move to
global configuration mode. Finally, the administrator enters the line console
0 command to enter the mode in which the configuration will be entered.
26. What command is used to verify the condition of the switch interfaces,
including the status of the interfaces and a configured IP address?
ipconfig
ping
traceroute
show ip interface brief
Explanation: The show ip interface brief command is used to display a brief
synopsis of the condition of the device interfaces. The ip config command is used to
verify TCP/IP properties on a host. The ping command is used to verify Layer 3
connectivity. The traceroute command is used to trace the network path from source
to destination.
27. Match the description with the associated IOS mode. (Not all options are
used.)
User EXEC mode: limited number of basic monitoring commands
The first entrance into the CLI of an IOS device
Privileged EXEC mode: accessed by entering the enable command
identified by a prompt ending with the sharp character
Global config mode: changes made affect the operation of the device as
a hole
accessed by entering configure terminal command
28. Match the definitions to their respective CLI hot keys and shortcuts. (Not all
options are used.)
The shortcuts with their functions are as follows:
Tab: Completes the remainder of a partially typed command or keyword
Space bar: displays the next screen
? : provides context-sensitive help
Up Arrow: Allows user to scroll backward through former commands
Ctrl-C: cancels any command currently being entered and returns
directly to privileged EXEC mode
Ctrl-Shift-6: Allows the user to interrupt an IOS process such as ping or
traceroute
29. In the show running-config command, which part of the syntax is represented
by running-config?
the command
a keyword
a variable
a prompt
Explanation: The first part of the syntax, show, is the command, and the second
part of the syntax, running-config, is the keyword. The keyword specifies what should
be displayed as the output of the show command.
30. After making configuration changes on a Cisco switch, a network
administrator issues a copy running-config startup-config command. What is
the result of issuing this command?
The new configuration will be stored in flash memory.
The new configuration will be loaded if the switch is restarted.
The current IOS file will be replaced with the newly configured file.
The configuration changes will be removed and the original configuration will
be restored.
Explanation: With the copy running-config startup-config command, the content of
the current operating configuration replaces the startup configuration file stored in
NVRAM. The configuration file saved in NVRAM will be loaded when the device is
restarted.
31. What command will prevent all unencrypted passwords from displaying in
plain text in a configuration file?
(config)# enable password secret
(config)# enable secret Secret_Password
(config-line)# password secret
(config)# service password-encryption
(config)# enable secret Encrypted_Password
Explanation: To prevent all configured passwords from appearing in plain text in
configuration files, an administrator can execute the service password-encryption
command. This command encrypts all configured passwords in the configuration file.
33. What method can be used by two computers to ensure that packets are not
dropped because too much data is being sent too quickly?
encapsulation
flow control
access method
response timeout
Explanation: In order for two computers to be able to communicate effectively, there
must be a mechanism that allows both the source and destination to set the timing of
the transmission and receipt of data. Flow control allows for this by ensuring that
data is not sent too fast for it to be received properly.
35. What three application layer protocols are part of the TCP/IP protocol suite?
(Choose three.)
ARP
DHCP
DNS
FTP
NAT
PPP
Explanation: DNS, DHCP, and FTP are all application layer protocols in the TCP/IP
protocol suite. ARP and PPP are network access layer protocols, and NAT is an
internet layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite.
36. Match the description to the organization. (Not all options are used.)
ISOC = Promotes open development
ISO = largest developer or international standard
IANA = responsible for overseeing and managing IP address
Explanation: The EIA is an international standards and trade organization for
electronics organizations. It is best known for its standards related to electrical
wiring, connectors, and the 19-inch racks used to mount networking equipment.
38. When IPv4 addressing is manually configured on a web server, which property of
the IPv4 configuration identifies the network and host portion for an IPv4
address?
DNS server address
subnet mask
default gateway
DHCP server address
Explanation: There are several components that need to be entered when
configuring IPv4 for an end device:
IPv4 address – uniquely identifies an end device on the network
Subnet mask – determines the network address portion and host portion for
an IPv4 address
Default gateway – the IP address of the router interface used for
communicating with hosts in another network
DNS server address – the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS)
server
DHCP server address (if DHCP is used) is not configured manually on end devices.
It will be provided by a DHCP server when an end device requests an IP address.
39. What process involves placing one PDU inside of another PDU?
encapsulation
encoding
segmentation
flow control
Explanation: When a message is placed inside of another message, this is known
as encapsulation. On networks, encapsulation takes place when one protocol data
unit is carried inside of the data field of the next lower protocol data unit.
42. Which PDU format is used when bits are received from the network medium
by the NIC of a host?
file
frame
packet
segment
43. Refer to the exhibit. ServerB is attempting to contact HostA. Which two
statements correctly identify the addressing that ServerB will generate in the
process? (Choose two.)
ServerB will generate a packet with the destination IP address of RouterB.
ServerB will generate a frame with the destination MAC address of
RouterB.
ServerB will generate a packet with the destination IP address of HostA.
Explanation: In order to send data to HostA, ServerB will generate a packet that
contains the IP address of the destination device on the remote network and a frame
that contains the MAC address of the default gateway device on the local network.
45. A web client is receiving a response for a web page from a web server. From the
perspective of the client, what is the correct order of the protocol stack that is used
to decode the received transmission?
Ethernet, IP, TCP, HTTP
HTTP, TCP, IP, Ethernet
Ethernet, TCP, IP, HTTP
HTTP, Ethernet, IP, TCP
Explanation:
1. HTTP governs the way that a web server and client interact.
2. TCP manages individual conversations between web servers and clients.
3. IP is responsible for delivery across the best path to the destination.
4. Ethernet takes the packet from IP and formats it for transmission.
46. Which two OSI model layers have the same functionality as a single layer of
the TCP/IP model? (Choose two.)
data link
network
physical
session
transport
Explanation: The OSI data link and physical layers together are equivalent to the
TCP/IP network access layer. The OSI transport layer is functionally equivalent to the
TCP/IP transport layer, and the OSI network layer is equivalent to the TCP/IP
internet layer. The OSI application, presentation, and session layers are functionally
equivalent to the application layer within the TCP/IP model.
47. At which layer of the OSI model would a logical address be added during
encapsulation?
physical layer
data link layer
network layer
transport layer
Explanation: Logical addresses, also known as IP addresses, are added at the
network layer. Physical addresses are edded at the data link layer. Port addresses
are added at the transport layer. No addresses are added at the physical layer.
48. What is a characteristic of multicast messages?
They are sent to a select group of hosts.
They are sent to all hosts on a network.
They must be acknowledged.
They are sent to a single destination.
Explanation: Multicast is a one-to-many type of communication. Multicast messages
are addressed to a specific multicast group.
51. Which device performs the function of determining the path that messages
should take through internetworks?
a router
a firewall
a web server
a DSL modem
Explanation: A router is used to determine the path that the messages should take
through the network. A firewall is used to filter incoming and outgoing traffic. A DSL
modem is used to provide Internet connection for a home or an organization.
