23. How is SSH different from Telnet?
Explanation: SSH is the preferred protocol for connecting to a device operating system over the network because it is much more secure than Telnet. Both SSH and Telnet are used to connect to devices over the network, and so are both used in-band. PuTTY and Terra Term can be used to make both SSH and Telnet connections. 24. An administrator is configuring a switch console port with a password. In what order will the administrator travel through the IOS modes of operation in order to reach the mode in which the configuration commands will be entered? (Not all options are used.) 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. 25. What are three characteristics of an SVI? (Choose three.)
Explanation: Switches have one or more switch virtual interfaces (SVIs). SVIs are created in software since there is no physical hardware associated with them. Virtual interfaces provide a means to remotely manage a switch over a network that is using IP. Each switch comes with one SVI appearing in the default configuration “out-of-the-box.” The default SVI interface is VLAN1. 26. What command is used to verify the condition of the switch interfaces, including the status of the interfaces and a configured IP address?
Explanation: The show ip interface brief command is used to display a brief synopsis of the condition of the device interfaces. The ipconfig 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.) 28. Match the definitions to their respective CLI hot keys and shortcuts. (Not all options are used.) Explanation: 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?
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?
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?
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.
Explanation: The startup-config and running-config files display most passwords in plaintext. Use the service password-encryption global config command to encrypt all plaintext passwords in these files. 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?
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. 34. Which statement accurately describes a TCP/IP encapsulation process when a PC is sending data to the network?
Explanation: When the data is traveling from the PC to the network, the transport layer sends segments to the internet layer. The internet layer sends packets to the network access layer, which creates frames and then converts the frames to bits. The bits are released to the network media. 35. What three application layer protocols are part of the TCP/IP protocol suite? (Choose three.) 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.) 37. Which name is assigned to the transport layer PDU?
Explanation: Application data is passed down the protocol stack on its way to be transmitted across the network media. During the process, various protocols add information to it at each level. At each stage of the process, a PDU (protocol data unit) has a different name to reflect its new functions. The PDUs are named according to the protocols of the TCP/IP suite:Data – The general term for the PDU used at the application layer.Segment – transport layer PDUPacket – network layer PDUFrame – data link layer PDU Bits – A physical layer PDU used when physically transmitting data over the medium 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?
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 networkSubnet mask – determines the network address portion and host portion for an IPv4 addressDefault gateway – the IP address of the router interface used for communicating with hosts in another networkDNS 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?
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. 40. What layer is responsible for routing messages through an internetwork in the TCP/IP model?
Explanation: The TCP/IP model consists of four layers: application, transport, internet, and network access. Of these four layers, it is the internet layer that is responsible for routing messages. The session layer is not part of the TCP/IP model but is rather part of the OSI model. 41. For the TCP/IP protocol suite, what is the correct order of events when a Telnet message is being prepared to be sent over the network? 42. Which PDU format is used when bits are received from the network medium by the NIC of a host? Explanation: When received at the physical layer of a host, the bits are formatted into a frame at the data link layer. A packet is the PDU at the network layer. A segment is the PDU at the transport layer. A file is a data structure that may be used at the application layer. 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.)
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. 44. Which method allows a computer to react accordingly when it requests data from a server and the server takes too long to respond?
Explanation: If a computer makes a request and does not hear a response within an acceptable amount of time, the computer assumes that no answer is coming and reacts accordingly. 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?
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.)
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?
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?
Explanation: Multicast is a one-to-many type of communication. Multicast messages are addressed to a specific multicast group. 49. Which statement is correct about network protocols?
Explanation: Network protocols are implemented in hardware, or software, or both. They interact with each other within different layers of a protocol stack. Protocols have nothing to do with the installation of the network equipment. Network protocols are required to exchange information between source and destination devices in both local and remote networks. 50. What is an advantage of network devices using open standard protocols?
Explanation: An advantage of network devices implementing open standard protocols, such as from the TCP/IP suite, is that clients and servers running different operating systems can communicate with each other. Open standard protocols facilitate innovation and competition between vendors and across markets, and can reduce the occurrence of monopolies in networking markets. 51. Which device performs the function of determining the path that messages should take through internetworks?
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. 52. Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instructions and then answer the question. What is the IP address of the switch virtual interface (SVI) on Switch0?
Explanation: After the enable command is issued, the show running-configuration command or the show ip interfaces brief command will display the IP address of the switch virtual interface (SVI). 53. Why would a Layer 2 switch need an IP address?
Explanation: A switch, as a Layer 2 device, does not need an IP address to transmit frames to attached devices. However, when a switch is accessed remotely through the network, it must have a Layer 3 address. The IP address must be applied to a virtual interface rather than to a physical interface. Routers, not switches, function as default gateways. 54. Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is trying to configure the switch but receives the error message that is displayed in the exhibit. What is the problem?
Explanation: In order to enter global configuration mode, the command configure terminal, or a shortened version such as config t, must be entered from privileged EXEC mode. In this scenario the administrator is in user EXEC mode, as indicated by the > symbol after the hostname. The administrator would need to use the enable command to move into privileged EXEC mode before entering the configure terminal command. 55. What term describes a network owned by one organization that provides safe and secure access to individuals who work for a different organization?
56. What term describes storing personal files on servers over the internet to provide access anywhere, anytime, and on any device?
57. What term describes a network where one computer can be both client and server?
58. What term describes a type of network used by people who work from home or from a small remote office?
59. What term describes a computing model where server software runs on dedicated computers?
