Question 21:
A network administrator issues the ping 192.168.2.5 command and successfully tests connectivity to a host that has been newly connected to the network. Which protocols were used during the test? (Choose two.)

A. ARP
B. CDP
C. DHCP
D. DNS
E. ICMP

Answer: AE

Question 22:
How does replacing a hub with a switch affect CSMA/CD behavior in an Ethernet network?
A. It effectively eliminates collisions.
B. In increases the size of the collision domain by allowing more devices to be connected at once.
C. It decreases the amount of time that a jam signal must be sent to reach all network devices.
D. It reduces the total amount of bandwidth available to each device.
E. It eliminates Layer 3 broadcast traffic.

Answer: A

Question 23:
A mid-sized company with five branch offices across Canada wants to create a WAN that will provide the most cost effective fully meshed environment with at least 512 kbps throughput. What WAN service would meet
this need?
A. Frame Relay
B. leased lines
C. ISDN BRI
D. ATM
E. PPP

Answer: A

Question 24:
Which statement about the ip classless router command is true?
A. The ip classless command is enabled by default in recent versions of IOS.
B. The ip classless command should only be enabled when static routing is being used instead of a routing protocol.
C. The ip classless command should be enabled by the network administrator whenever RIPv1 or IGRP is being used.
D. The ip classless command should be enabled by the network administrator whenever OSPF, RIPv2, or EIGRP is being used.

Answer: A

Question 25:
Refer to the exhibit. A new subnet with 60 hosts has been added to the network. Which subnet address should this network use to provide enough usable addresses while wasting the fewest addresses?
A. 192.168.1.56/26
B. 192.168.1.56/27
C. 192.168.1.64/26
D. 192.168.1.64/27

Answer: C

Explanation:
A subnet with 60 host is 2*2*2*2*2*2 = 64 -2 == 62
6 bits needed for hosts part. Therefore subnet bits are 2 bits (8-6) in fourth octet.
8bits+ 8bits+ 8bits + 2bits = /26
/26 bits subnet is 24bits + 11000000 = 24bits + 192
256 – 192 = 64
0 -63
64 – 127

Question 26:
The system LED is amber on a Cisco Catalyst 2950 series switch. What does this indicate?
A. The system is malfunctioning.
B. The system is not powered up.
C. The system is powered up and operational.
D. The system is forwarding traffic.
E. The system is sensing excessive collisions.

Answer: A

Question 27:
Which two subnetworks would be included in the summarized address of 172.31.80.0 /20? (Choose two.)
A. 172.31.17.4 /30
B. 172.31.51.16 /30
C. 172.31.64.0 /18
D. 172.31.80.0 /22
E. 172.31.92.0 /22
F. 172.31.192.0 /18

Answer: DE

Question 28:
What is CSMA/CD?
A. It is a deterministic mechanism that allows the orderly transmission of frames.
B. It is a way that priority is determined for data transmission based on MAC address.
C. It is a set of rules that determines path selection in an Ethernet network.
D. It is a set of rules that allows the best-effort transmission of frames in a LAN environment.

Answer: D

Question 29:
Why will a switch never learn a broadcast address?
A. Broadcasts only use network layer addressing.
B. A broadcast frame is never forwarded by a switch.
C. A broadcast address will never be the source address of a frame.
D. Broadcast addresses use an incorrect format for the switching table.
E. Broadcast frames are never sent to switches.

Answer: C

A. A switch in the VTP client mode cannot update its local VLAN database.
B. A trunk link must be configured between the switches to forward VTP updates.
C. A switch in the VTP server mode can update a switch in the VTP transparent mode.
D. A switch in the VTP transparent mode will forward updates that it receives to other switches.
E. A switch in the VTP server mode only updates switches in the VTP client mode that have a higher VTP revision number.
F. A switch in the VTP server mode will update switches in the VTP client mode regardless of the configured VTP domain membership.

Answer: ABD
