B. Multiprotocol support

C. Transmission of subnet mask information

D. Support for unequal load balancing

 

·         C. To use VLSM, the routing protocols in use possess the capability to transmit subnet mask information.

A. Host A cannot communicate with the router.

B. Host A can communicate with other hosts in the same subnet.

C. Host A can communicate with hosts in other subnets.

D. Host A can communicate with no other systems.

 

·         B. With an incorrect gateway, Host A will not be able to communicate with the router or beyond the router but will be able to communicate within the subnet.

 

Which of the following troubleshooting steps, if completed successfully, also confirms the other steps will succeed as well?

A. ping a remote computer

B. ping the loopback address

C. ping the NIC

D. ping the default gateway

 

·         Pinging the remote computer would fail if any of the other tests fail.

 

When a ping to the local host IP address fails, what can you assume?

A. The IP address of the local host is incorrect.

B. The IP address of the remote host is incorrect.

C. The NIC is not functional.

D. The IP stack has failed to initialize.

 

·         C. When a ping to the local host IP address fails, you can assume the NIC is not functional.

 

What network service is the most likely problem if you can ping a computer by IP address but not by name?

A. DNS

B. DHCP

C. ARP

D. ICMP

 

·         The most likely problem if you can ping a computer by IP address but not by name is a failure of DNS.

 

When you issue the ping command, what protocol are you using?

A. DNS

B. DHCP

C. ARP

D. ICMP

 

·         D. When you issue the ping command, you are using the ICMP protocol.

 

Which of the following commands displays the networks traversed on a path to a network destination?

A. ping

B. traceroute

C. pingroute

D. Pathroute

 

·         B. The traceroute command displays the networks traversed on a path to a network destination.

A. traceroute

B. show ip route

C. ping

Which of the following network addresses correctly summarizes the three networks shown below efficiently?

10.0.0.0/16

10.1.0.0/16

10.2.0.0/16

A. 10.0.0.0/15

B. 10.1.0.0/8

C. 10.0.0.0/14

D. 10.0.0.8/16

 

·         C. The interesting octet in this example is the second octet, and it is a block size of four starting at 10.0.0.0. By using a 255.252.0.0 mask, we are telling the summary to use a block size of four in the 2nd octet. This will cover 10.0.0.0 through 10.3.255.255. This is the best answer.

 

What command displays the ARP table on a Cisco router?

A. show ip arp

B. traceroute

C. arp -a

D. Tracert

 

·         The command that displays the ARP table on a Cisco router is show ip arp.

 

What switch must be added to the ipconfig command on a PC to verify DNS configuration?

A. /dns

B. -dns

C. /all

D. Showall

 

·         C. The /all switch must be added to the ipconfig command on a PC to verify DNS configuration.

 

Which of the following is the best summarization of the following networks: 192.168.128.0 through 192.168.159.0

A. 192.168.0.0/24

B. 192.168.128.0/16

C. 192.168.128.0/19

D. 192.168.128.0/20

 

·         C. If you start at 192.168.128.0 and go through 192.168.159.0, you can see this is a block of 32 in the third octet. Since the network address is always the first one in the range, the summary address is 192.168.128.0. What mask provides a block of 32 in the third octet? The answer is 255.255.224.0, or /19.
