Answers to Assessment Test
1. A. Network Control Protocol is used to help identify the Network layer protocol used in the packet. See Chapter 16 for more information.
2. B. Each field in an IPv6 address is 16 bits long. An IPv6 address is a total of 128 bits. See Chapter 15 for more information.
3. C. The port roles used within RSTP include discarding, learning, and forwarding. The difference between 802.1d and RSTP is the discarding
role. See Chapter 10 for more information.
4. C. The command line console 0 places you at a prompt where you can then set your console user-mode password. See Chapter 6 for more
information.
5. D. An IPv6 address is 128 bits long, whereas an IPv4 address is only 32 bits long. See Chapter 15 for more information.
6. C. Link Control Protocol in the PPP stack provides negotiation of dynamic addressing, authentication, and multilink. See Chapter 16 for more
information.
7. B. The show interface command shows the line, protocol, DLCI, and LMI information of an interface. See Chapter 16 for more information.
8. A. 256 – 192 = 64, so 64 is our block size. Just count in increments of 64 to find our subnet: 64 + 64 = 128. 128 + 64 = 192. The subnet is 128,
the broadcast address is 191, and the valid host range is the numbers in between, or 129–190. See Chapter 4 for more information.
9. B. The passive command, short for passive-interface, stops regular updates from being sent out an interface. However, the interface can still receive
updates. See Chapter 8 for more information.
10. C. ICMP is the protocol at the Network layer that is used to send echo requests and replies. See Chapter 3 for more information.
11. D. Layer 2 switching creates individual collision domains per port. See Chapter 1 for more information.
12. C. The command line vty 0 4 places you in a prompt that will allow you to set or change your Telnet password. See Chapter 6 for more
information.
13. B. To see the contents of all access lists, use the show access-lists command. See Chapter 12 for more information.
14. C. VLANs break up broadcast domains at layer 2. See Chapter 11 for more information.
15. A. The command erase startup-config deletes the configuration stored in NVRAM. See Chapter 6 for more information.
16. C. ICMP is the protocol at the Network layer that is used to send messages back to an originating router. See Chapter 3 for more information.
17. A. Class A addressing provides 24 bits for host addressing. See Chapter 3 for more information.
18. B. Every 2 seconds, BPDUs are sent out from all active bridge ports by default. See Chapter 10 for more information.
19. D. Switches do not propagate VLAN information by default; you must configure the VTP domain for this to occur. VLAN Trunking Protocol
(VTP) is used to propagate VLAN information across a trunk link. See Chapter 11 for more information.
20. C. IEEE 802.11bg is in the 2.4GHz range, with a top speed of 54Mbps. See Chapter 14 for more information.
21. A. By default, switches break up collision domains on a per-port basis but are one large broadcast domain. See Chapter 1 for more
information.
22. D. Port Address Translation (PAT) allows a one-to-many approach to network address translation. See Chapter 13 for more information.
23. C, D. VTP is not right because it has nothing to do with trunking except that it sends VLAN information across a trunk link. 802.1Q and ISL
encapsulations are used to configure trunking on a port. See Chapter 11 for more information.
24. D. Stub networks have only one connection to an internetwork. Default routes should be set on a stub network or network loops may occur;
however, there are exceptions to this rule. See Chapter 9 for more information.
25. B. Hubs regenerate electrical signals, which are specified at the Physical layer. See Chapter 1 for more information.
26. A, C. Standard and extended access control lists (ACLs) are used to configure security on a router. See Chapter 12 for more information.
27. D. The command copy flash tftp will prompt you to back up an existing file in flash to a TFTP host. See Chapter 7 for more information.
28. B. The command to back up the configuration on a router is copy running-config startup-config. See Chapter 7 for more information.
29. C. The primary reason the OSI model was created was so that different networks could interoperate. See Chapter 1 for more information.
30. C. User Datagram Protocol is a connection network service at the Transport layer, and DHCP uses this connectionless service. See Chapter 3
for more information.
31. E. The clock rate command is two words, and the speed of the line is in bps. See Chapter 6 for more information.
32. C. The show ip interface command will show you if any interfaces have an outbound or inbound access list set. See Chapter 12 for more
information.
33. D. The copy tftp flash command places a new file in flash memory, which is the default location for the Cisco IOS in Cisco routers. See Chapter
7 for more information.
34. C. The PDU encapsulation method defines how data is encoded as it goes through each layer of the TCP/IP model. Data is segmented at the
Transport later, packets created at the Network layer, frames at the Data Link layer, and finally, the Physical layer encodes the 1s and 0s into a
digital signal. See Chapter 2 for more information.
