1.

You type show interfaces fa0/1 and get this output:

275496 packets input, 35226811 bytes, 0 no buffer

Received 69748 broadcasts (58822 multicasts)

0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles

111395 input errors, 511987 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored

0 watchdog, 58822 multicast, 0 pause input

0 input packets with dribble condition detected

2392529 packets output, 337933522 bytes, 0 underruns

0 output errors, 0 collisions, 1 interface resets

0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred

0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier, 0 PAUSE output

0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

What could the problem possibly be with this interface?

A. Speed mismatch on directly connected interfaces

B. Collisions causing CRC errors
C. Frames received are too large
D. Interference on the Ethernet cable

Answer:

D. Typically, we'd see the input errors and CRC statistics increase with a duplex
error, but it could be another Physical layer issue such as the cable might be
receiving excessive interference or the network interface cards might have a
failure. Typically, you can tell if it is interference when the CRC and input errors
output grow but the collision counters do not, which is the case with this
question.

2. The output of the show running-config command comes from________________.

 A. NVRAM
B. Flash
C. RAM
D. Firmware

Answer:

C. Once the IOS is loaded and up and running, the startup-config will be copied
from NVRAM into RAM and from then on, referred to as the running-config.

3. Which two of the following commands are required when configuring SSH on
your router? (Choose two.)
A. enable secret password
B. exec-timeout 0 0
C. ip domain-name name
D. username name password password
E. ip ssh version 2

Answer:

C, D. To configure SSH on your router, you need to set the username command,
the ip domain-name, login local, and the transport input ssh under the VTY
lines and the crypto key command. However, SSH version 2 is suggested but not
required.

4. Which command will show you whether a DTE or a DCE cable is plugged into
serial 0/0 on your router's WAN port?
A. sh int s0/0
B. sh int serial0/0
C. show controllers s0/0
D. show serial0/0 controllers

Answer:
 C. The show controllers serial 0/0 command will show you whether either a
DTE or DCE cable is connected to the interface. If it is a DCE connection, you
need to add clocking with the clock rate command.

5. In the work area, drag the router term to its definition on the right.
Mode Definition
user exec mode Commands that affect the entire system
privileged exec mode Commands that affect interfaces/processes only
Global configuration mode Interactive configuration dialog
Specific configuration modes Provides access to all other router commands
Setup mode Limited to basic monitoring commands

Answer:

6. User exec mode is limited to basic monitoring commands; privileged exec mode
provides access to all other router commands. Specific configuration modes
include the commands that affect a specific interface or process, while global
configuration mode allows commands that affect the entire system. Setup mode
is where you access the interactive configuration dialog.

Using the given output, what type of interface is shown?

[output cut]
 Hardware is MV96340 Ethernet, address is 001a.2f55.c9e8 (bia
001a.2f55.c9e8)

Internet address is 192.168.1.33/27

MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec,

reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255

A. 10 Mb
B. 100 Mb
C. 1000 Mb
D. 1000 MB

Answer:

B. The bandwidth shown is 100000 kbits a second, which is a FastEthernet port,

or 100 Mbs.

7. Which of the following commands will configure all the default VTY ports on a
switch?
A. Switch#line vty 0 4
B. Switch(config)#line vty 0 4
C. Switch(config-if)#line console 0
D. Switch(config)#line vty all

Answer:

B. From global configuration mode, use the line vty 0 4 command to set all five
default VTY lines. However, you would typically always set all lines, not just the
defaults.

8. Which of the following commands sets the privileged mode password to Cisco
and encrypts the password?
A. enable secret password Cisco
B. enable secret cisco
C. enable secret Cisco
D. enable password Cisco
 Answer:

C. The enable secret password is case sensitive, so the second option is wrong. To
set the enable secret password, use the enable secret password command from
global configuration mode. This password is automatically encrypted.

9. If you wanted administrators to see a message when logging into the switch,
which command would you use?
A. message banner motd
B. banner message motd
C. banner motd
D. message motd

Answer:

C. The banner motd sets a message of the day for administrators when they login
to a switch or router.

10. Which of the following prompts indicates that the switch is currently in privileged
mode?
A. Switch(config)#
B. Switch>
C. Switch#
D. Switch(config-if)

Answer:

C. The prompts offered as options indicate the following modes:

Switch(config)#is global configuration mode.

Switch> is user mode.

Switch# is privileged mode.

Switch(config-if)#is interface configuration mode.

11. What command do you type to save the configuration stored in RAM to NVRAM?
 A. Switch(config)#copy current to starting
B. Switch#copy starting to running
C. Switch(config)#copy running-config startup-config
D. Switch#copy run start

Answer:

D. To copy the running-config to NVRAM so that it will be used if the router is

restarted, use the copy running-config startup-config command in privileged
mode (copy run start for short).

12. You try to telnet into SF from router Corp and receive this message:

Corp#telnet SF

Trying SF (10.0.0.1)...Open

Password required, but none set

[Connection to SF closed by foreign host]

Corp#

Which of the following sequences will address this problem correctly?

A.

Corp(config)#line console 0

Corp(config-line)#password password

Corp(config-line)#login

B.
 SF config)#line console 0

SF(config-line)#enable secret password

SF(config-line)#login

C.

Corp(config)#line vty 0 4

Corp(config-line)#password password

Corp(config-line)#login

D.

SF(config)#line vty 0 4

SF(config-line)#password password

SF(config-line)#login

Answer:

D. To allow a VTY (Telnet) session into your router, you must set the VTY
password. Option C is wrong because it is setting the password on the wrong
router. Notice that you have to set the password before you set the login
command.

13. Which command will delete the contents of NVRAM on a switch?

A. delete NVRAM
B. delete startup-config
C. erase flash
 D. erase startup-config
E. erase start

Answer:

C. Wireless AP's are very popular today and will be going away about the same
time that rock n' roll does. The idea behind these devices (which are layer 2 bridge
devices) is to connect wireless products to the wired Ethernet network. The
wireless AP will create a single collision domain and is typically its own dedicated
broadcast domain as well.

14. What is the problem with an interface if you type show interface g0/1 and
receive the following message?

Gigabit 0/1 is administratively down, line protocol is down

A. The keepalives are different times.

B. The administrator has the interface shut down.
C. The administrator is pinging from the interface.
D. No cable is attached.

Answer:

B. If an interface is shut down, the show interface command will show the
interface as administratively down. (It is possible that no cable is attached, but
you can't tell that from this message.)

15. Which of the following commands displays the configurable parameters and
statistics of all interfaces on a switch?
A. show running-config
B. show startup-config
C. show interfaces
D. show versions

Answer:
 C. With the show interfaces command, you can view the configurable
parameters, get statistics for the interfaces on the switch, check for input and
CRC errors, and verify if the interfaces are shut down.

16. If you delete the contents of NVRAM and reboot the switch, what mode will you
be in?
A. Privileged mode
B. Global mode
C. Setup mode
D. NVRAM loaded mode

Answer:

C. If you delete the startup-config and reload the switch, the device will
automatically enter setup mode. You can also type setup from privileged mode at
any time.

17. You type the following command into the switch and receive the following
output:

Switch# show fastethernet 0/1

^% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Why was this error message displayed?

A. You need to be in privileged mode.

B. You cannot have a space between fastethernet and 0/1.
C. The switch does not have a FastEthernet 0/1 interface.
D. Part of the command is missing.

Answer:

D. You can view the interface statistics from user mode, but the command is show
interface fastethernet 0/0.
18. You type Switch#sh r and receive a % ambiguous command error. Why did you
receive this message?
A. The command requires additional options or parameters.
B. There is more than one show command that starts with the letter r.
C. There is no show command that starts with r.
D. The command is being executed from the wrong mode.

Answer:

B. The % ambiguous command error means that there is more than one
possible show command that starts with r. Use a question mark to find the correct
command.

19. Which of the following commands will display the current IP addressing and the
layer 1 and 2 status of an interface? (Choose two.)
A. show version
B. show interfaces
C. show controllers
D. show ip interface
E. show running-config

Answer:

B, D. The commands show interfaces and show ip interface will show you the
layer 1 and 2 status and the IP addresses of your router's interfaces.

20. At which layer of the OSI model would you assume the problem is if you
type show interface serial 1 and receive the following message?

Serial1 is down, line protocol is down

A. Physical layer
B. Data Link layer
C. Network layer
D. None; it is a router problem.
Answer:

A. If you see that a serial interface and the protocol are both down, then you have
a Physical layer problem. If you see seriali is up, line protocol is down, then you
are not receiving (Data Link) keepalives from the remote end.
