Online Networking Test - Networking Test 10

You should have only one root bridge per network.

Fiber-optic cable provides a more secure, long-distance cable that is not susceptible to EMI interference at high speeds.

To connect to a router or switch console port, you would use an RJ45 UTP rolled cable.

A client that sends out a DHCP Discover message in order to receive an IP address sends out a broadcast at both layer 2 and layer 3. The layer 2 broadcast is all Fs in hex, or FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. The layer 3 broadcast is 255.255.255.255, which means all networks and all hosts. DHCP is connectionless, which means it uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) at the Transport layer, also called the Host-to-Host layer.

A /27 (255.255.255.224) is 3 bits on and 5 bits off. This provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. Does it matter if this mask is used with a Class A, B, or C network address? Not at all. The number of host bits would never change.

A /29 (255.255.255.248), regardless of the class of address, has only 3 host bits. Six hosts is the maximum number of hosts on this LAN, including the router interface.

Since the question never mentioned anything about a suspended session, you can assume that the Telnet session is still open, and you would just type exit to close the session.

IGRP uses bandwidth and delay of the line, by default, to determine the best path to a remote network. Delay of the line can sometimes be called the cumulative interface delay.

Layer 2 features include address learning, forwarding and filtering of the network, and loop avoidance.

If you have a server or other devices connected into your switch that you're totally sure won't create a switching loop if STP is disabled, you can use something called portfast on these ports. Using it means the port won't spend the usual 50 seconds to come up while STP is converging.

Switches do not propagate VLAN information by default; you must configure the VTP domain. VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) is used to propagate VLAN information across a trunked link.

Virtual LANs break up broadcast domains in layer 2 switched internetworks.

802.1Q was created to allow trunked links between disparate switches.

This question is a little vague, but the best answer is that the VLAN membership for the port is not configured.

Extended IP access lists use numbers 100-199 and 2000-2699 and filter based on source and destination IP address, protocol number, and port number. The last option is correct because of the second line that specifies permit ip any any. (I used 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255, which is the same as the any option.) The third option does not have this, so it would deny access but not allow everything else.

The IEEE 802.11g standard's lowest data rate is 6Mbps, but it can run from a distance of about 300 feet.

Each AP in a mesh network runs the Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP). This protocol allows RAPs to communicate with each other to determine the best path back to the wired network via the RAP.

Unlike unicast addresses, global unicast addresses are meant to be routed.

Ethernet and Token Ring are LAN technologies and cannot be configured on a serial interface. PPP, HDLC, and Frame Relay are layer 2 WAN technologies that are typically configured on a serial interface.

In a modern network, hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC) is a telecommunications industry term for a network that incorporates both optical fiber and coaxial cable to create a broadband network.
