answer
BGP
question
Which two protocols manage neighbor discovery processes on IPv4 networks? BGP and OSPF IPv4 and IPv6 ICMP and ARP TCP and UDP
answer
ICMP and ARP
question
When a router can't determine a path to a message's destination, where does it send the message? Gateway of last resort Default gateway Administrative distance Routing table
answer
gateway of last resort
question
What field in a TCP segment is used to determine if an arriving data unit exactly matches the data unit sent by the source? Checksum DiffServ Acknowledgment number Source port
answer
checksum
question
Which OSI layer is responsible for directing data from one LAN to another? Physical layer Network layer Transport layer Data Link layer
answer
network layer
question
At which OSI layer does IP operate? Transport layer Application layer Data Link layer Network layer
answer
network layer
question

answer
TCP
question
What is the Internet standard MTU? 65,535 bytes 1,522 bytes 1,500 bytes 9,198 bytes
answer
1500 bytes
question
What kind of route is created when a network administrator configures a router to use a specific path between nodes? Best path Trace route Default route Static route
answer
static route
question
AD (administrative distance)
answer
A number indicating a protocol's reliability, with lower values being given higher priority. This assignment can be changed by a network administrator.
question
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
answer
A core protocol in the TCP/IP suite that belongs in the Data Link layer of the OSI model. ARP works in conjunction with IPv4 to discover the MAC address of a node on the local network and to maintain a database that maps local IP addresses to MAC addresses.
question
ARP table
answer
A database of records that maps MAC addresses to IP addresses. The ARP table is stored on a computer's hard disk where it is used by the ARP utility to supply the MAC addresses of network nodes, given their IP addresses.
question
AS (autonomous system)
answer
A group of networks, often on the same domain, that are operated by the same organization.
question
By default, which of the following components of the composite metric are considered for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) ?
answer
Bandwidth and delay
question
A router receives a packet with a destination address that is not found within its routing table. The router is configured to send all such packets to a specific next hop address. What is this next hop address called?
answer
default route
question
You manage a small stub network that has a router configured with static routing. If the connection to the next hop goes down, what action will the router perform?
answer
It will continue to route traffic on the same path.
question
Which of the following is true about the OSPF routing protocol? An OSPF maintains a network topology with only its directly connected networks. Each router is informed of the network topology up to its immediately adjacent neighbors. Each router has a partial knowledge of the network topology. Each router has complete knowledge of the network topology.
answer
Each router has complete knowledge of the network topology.
question
If you have a small Routing Information Protocol (RIP) network of 10 hops, how will RIP prevent routing loops?
answer
By implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path
question
You are asked to install a device that will combine several connections to the Internet and provide the sum of the available network speeds to an internal network while equally sharing the data traffic among all the Internet connections. Which of the following devices are you asked to install? Wired controller Dual modem Multilayer router Multilayer switch Load balancer
answer
load balancer
question
Which of the following statements is true about Fault tolerance?1) It is a direct result of the design of the network itself.2) It is the name of the feature that allows for dual layer 2 connections between switches.3) Enables a network to continue functioning normally in case of a partial failure.
answer
Statements 1 and 3 are true
question
In which of the following applications can a virtual IP address be used?
answer
Gateway Redundancy Protocols NAT
