1.
Which protocol does Ping use?
TCP
ARP
ICMP
BootP
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
ICMP is the protocol at the Network layer that is used to send echo requests and replies.

2.
What does a VLAN do?
Acts as the fastest port to all servers.
Provides multiple collision domains on one switch port.
Breaks up broadcast domains in a layer 2 switch internetwork.
Provides multiple broadcast domains within a single collision domain.
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
VLANs break up broadcast domains at layer 2.

3.
How many broadcast domains are created when you segment a network with a 12-port switch?
1
2
5
12
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
By default, switches break up collision domains but are one large broadcast domain.

4.
How to implement a network medium that is not susceptible to EMI. Which type of cabling should you use?
Thicknet coax
Thinnet coax
Category 5 UTP cable
Fiber-optic cable
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
Fiber-optic cable provides a more secure, long-distance cable that is not susceptible to EMI interference at high speeds.

5.
Which of the following commands sets the secret password to Cisco?
enable secret password Cisco
enable secret cisco
enable secret Cisco
enable password Cisco
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
The enable secret password is case sensitive, so the second option is wrong. To set the enable secret <password>, use the enable secret <password> command from global configuration mode.

6.
What layer of the OSI model would you assume the problem is in if you type show interface serial 1 and receive the following message? "Serial1 is down, line protocol is down."
Physical layer
Data Link layer
Network layer
None. It is a router problem.
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
If you see that a serial interface and the protocol are both down, then you have a Physical layer problem. If you see serial1 is up, line protocol is down, then you are not receiving (Data Link) keepalives from the remote end.

7.
Which command loads a new version of the Cisco IOS into a router?
copy flash ftp
copy ftp flash
copy flash tftp
copy tftp flash
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
The command copy tftp flash will allow you to copy a new IOS into flash memory on your router.

8.
You are unsuccessful in telnetting into a remote device. What could the problem be?
  1. IP addresses are incorrect.
  2. Access control list is filtering Telnet.
  3. There is a defective serial cable.
  4. The VTY password is missing.
1 only
3 only
2 and 4 only
All of the above
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
The best answers, the ones you need to remember, are that either an access control list is filtering the Telnet session or the VTY password is not set on the remote device.

9.
If a switch receives a frame and the source MAC address is not in the MAC address table but the destination address is, what will the switch do with the frame?
Discard it and send an error message back to the originating host
Flood the network with the frame
Add the source address and port to the MAC address table and forward the frame out the destination port
Add the destination to the MAC address table and then forward the frame
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
Since the source MAC address is not in the MAC address table, the switch will add the source address and the port it is connected to into the MAC address table and then forward the frame to the outgoing port.

10.
What is the purpose of Spanning Tree Protocol in a switched LAN?
To provide a mechanism for network monitoring in switched environments
To prevent routing loops in networks with redundant paths
To prevent switching loops in networks with redundant switched paths
To manage the VLAN database across multiple switches
To create collision domains
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was designed to stop layer 2 loops. All Cisco switches have the STP on by default.

11.
In which circumstance are multiple copies of the same unicast frame likely to be transmitted in a switched LAN?
During high-traffic periods
After broken links are reestablished
When upper-layer protocols require high reliability
In an improperly implemented redundant topology
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
If the Spanning Tree Protocol is not running on your switches and you connect them together with redundant links, you will have broadcast storms and multiple frame copies.

12.
Which of the following protocols are used to configure trunking on a switch?
  1. VLAN Trunk Protocol
  2. VLAN
  3. 802.1Q
  4. ISL
1 only
3 only
3 and 4
1, 3 and 4
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
Cisco has a proprietary trunking protocol called ISL. The IEEE version is 802.1Q.

13.
Which of the following are valid ways to refer only to host 172.16.30.55 in an IP access list?
  1. 172.16.30.55 0.0.0.255
  2. 172.16.30.55 0.0.0.0
  3. any 172.16.30.55
  4. host 172.16.30.55
  5. 0.0.0.0 172.16.30.55
  6. ip any 172.16.30.55
1 and 4
2 and 4
1, 4 and 6
3 and 5
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
The wildcard 0.0.0.0 tells the router to match all four octets. This wildcard format alone can be replaced with the host command.

14.
Which of the following is considered to be the address before translation?
Inside local
Outside local
Inside global
Outside global
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
The host on the private network before translation is considered to be an inside local host.

The IEEE 802.11a standard provides a maximum data rate of up to 54Mbps.

16.
Which of the following is true when describing an anycast address?
Packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface.
Packets are delivered to all interfaces identified by the address. This is also called one-to-many addresses.
This address identifies multiple interfaces and the anycast packet is only delivered to one address. This address can also be called one-to-one-of-many.
These addresses are meant for nonrouting purposes, but they are almost globally unique so it is unlikely they will have an address overlap.
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
Anycast addresses identify multiple interfaces, which is the same as multicast; however, the big difference is that the anycast packet is only delivered to one address, the first one it finds defined in the terms of routing distance. This address can also be called one-to-one-of-many.

17.
To enable OSPFv3, which of the following would you use?
Router1(config-if)# ipv6 ospf 10 area 0.0.0.0
Router1(config-if)# ipv6 router rip 1
Router1(config)# ipv6 router eigrp 10
Router1(config-rtr)# no shutdown
Router1(config-if)# ipv6 eigrp 10
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
To enable OSPFv3, you enable the protocol as with RIPng. The command string is ipv6 ospf <process-id> area <area-id>.

18.
Which of the following is true when describing a unicast address?
Packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface.
These are your typical publicly routable addresses, just like a regular publicly routable address in IPv4.
These are like private addresses in IPv4 in that they are not meant to be routed.
These addresses are meant for nonrouting purposes, but they are almost globally unique so it is unlikely they will have an address overlap.
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
Packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface. For load balancing, multiple interfaces can use the same address.

19.
Which WAN encapsulations can be configured on an asynchronous serial connection?
  1. PPP
  2. ATM
  3. HDLC
  4. SDLC
  5. Frame Relay
1 and 2
2 and 4
3, 4 and 5
All of the above
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
Please do not freak out because ATM is an answer to this question. ATM is not covered in depth on the CCNA exam. PPP is mostly used for dial-up (async) services, but ATM could be used as well, though it typically is not used anymore since PPP is so efficient.

20.

HDLC
Cable
VPN
IPSec
xDSL
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
IPSec is an industry-wide standard suite of protocols and algorithms that allows for secure data transmission over an IP-based network that functions at the layer 3 Network layer of the OSI model.
