7.

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has segmented the network into two VLANs and configured Router1 for inter-VLAN routing. A test of the network, however, shows that hosts on each VLAN can only access local resources and not resources on the other VLAN. What is the most likely cause of this problem?

Switch port Fa0/1 is not trunking.

Router interface Fa0/0 is possibly down.

No routing protocol is configured on Router1.

One of the router subinterfaces is possibly down.

only hosts A, B, C, and D

only hosts A, D, E, and F

only hosts D, E, and F

10.

Configure the Fa0/1 interface of the switch in trunk mode.

Configure a default gateway on the switch.

Configure the native VLAN on the switch.

Configure the Fa0/1 interface of the switch to allow all VLANs.

S1 port Fa0/11 is in the wrong VLAN.

R1 does not have an active routing protocol.

The IP address of computer 1 is in the wrong logical network.

Router interface Fa0/0 has the wrong trunk encapsulation type configured.

12.

Refer to the exhibit. All hosts are in listen mode. Host 1 and Host 4 both transmit data at the same time. How do the hosts respond on the network? (Choose two.)

After the end of the jam signal, a backoff algorithm is invoked.

Hosts 1 and 4 are operating full duplex so no collision will exist.

The hub will block the port connected to Host 4 to prevent a collision.

Hosts 1 and 4 are assigned shorter backoff values to provide them priority to access the media.

If a host has data to transmit after the backoff period of that host, the host checks to determine if the line is idle before transmitting.

13.

Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator is planning five additional VLANs to be shared throughout the VTP domain on S3. What action should the administrator take before creating the additional VLANs?

Create the VLANs on a switch in VTP server mode and allow them to propogate to the other switches in the domain.

15. An administrator is troubleshooting a PC on the network which is suffering from slow and intermittent connectivity. The PC has a ping success rate to the default gateway of less than half the ping attempts. Other PCs on the switch can consistently ping the default gateway. The switch port is configured for auto duplex and the PC is configured for full duplex. What will commonly cause this problem?

The PC is set to full duplex. The switch port fails to autonegotiate the duplex setting and defaults to half duplex, which causes a duplex mismatch.

The switch traffic is exceeding available frame buffers. The result is that frames are being dropped.

The PC and the default gateway have different bandwidth Ethernet ports.

The default gateway is not on the same switch that the PC is.

16.

Refer to the exhibit. What does the term DYNAMIC indicate in the output that is shown?

This entry can only be removed from the MAC address table by a network administrator.

When forwarding a frame to the device with address 0060.5c5b.cd23, the switch does not have to perform a lookup to determine the final destination port.

Only the device with MAC address 0060.5c5b.cd23 will be allowed to connect to port Fa0/18.

The switch learned this MAC address from the source address in a frame received on Fa0/18.

four

five

eight

nine

41.

Refer to the exhibit. Which two statements are true about the operation of the interfaces? (Choose two.)

Incoming traffic with VLAN ID 0 is processed by interface fa0/0.

Incoming traffic that has a VLAN ID of 2 is processed by subinterface fa0/0.2.

Both subinterfaces remain up with line protocol up, even if fa0/0 line protocol is down.

Subinterfaces use unique MAC addresses by adding the 802.1Q VLAN ID to the hardware address.

Set the bridge priority to 16384.

Change the VTP mode to server.

Assign a port priority of 128 for all ports on the switch.

Configure a loopback interface with the highest IP address.

45. Why is it advisable that a network administrator use SSH instead of Telnet when managing switches?

SSH uses TCP whereas Telnet does not.

SSH encrypts only the username and password when logging in.

SSH encrypts all remote management communications whereas Telnet does not.

SSH sends a clear text message steam which reduces the bandwidth use for management.

46. What will be the effect of the command S1# copy system:running-config tftp://172.16.2.155/tokyo-config?

The IOS will be copied to the TFTP server.

root port

edge port

alternate port

designated port

52. The network administrator wants to configure a switch to pass VLAN update information to other switches in the domain but not update its own local VLAN database. Which two steps should the administrator perform to achieve this? (Choose two.)

Reset the VTP counters.

Configure VTP version 1 on the switch.

Configure the VTP mode of the switch to transparent.

Verify that the switch has a higher configuration revision number.
