Fill in the blank.

The component of the operating software that provides the user interface is

called the shell .

Answer 1:

Correct! shell

Refer to curriculum topic: 2.1.1

Operating systems function with a shell, a kernel, and the hardware.
The shell interfaces with the users, allowing them to request specific
tasks from the device. The kernel provisions resources from the
hardware to meet software requirements. The hardware functions by
using drivers and their underlying electronics. The hardware
represents the physical components of the device.

Question 12 2 / 2 pts

How is SSH different from Telnet?

SSH makes connections over the network, whereas Telnet is for out-of-band
access.

Correct!
SSH provides security to remote sessions by encrypting messages and using
user authentication. Telnet is considered insecure and sends messages in
plaintext.

SSH requires the use of the PuTTY terminal emulation program. Tera Term
must be used to connect to devices through the use of Telnet.

SSH must be configured over an active network connection, whereas Telnet is

used to connect to a device from a console connection.

Refer to curriculum topic: 2.1.2

SSH is the preferred protocol for connecting to a device operating
system over the network because it is much more secure than Telnet.
Both SSH and Telnet are used to connect to devices over the network,
and so are both used in-band. PuTTY and Terra Term can be used to
make both SSH and Telnet connections.

Question 13 2 / 2 pts

Which two statements are true regarding the user EXEC mode? (Choose
two.)

All router commands are available.

Global configuration mode can be accessed by entering the enable command.

7/2/2019 Chapter 2 Quiz: 5th_CEA_Module_1_2019

Correct! The device prompt for this mode ends with the ">" symbol.

Interfaces and routing protocols can be configured.

Correct! Only some aspects of the router configuration can be viewed.

Refer to curriculum topic: 2.1.3

User EXEC mode limits access to some show and debug
commands. It is the first level of user interface encountered when
configuring a router and is intended for investigation of certain
functions of the device. The User EXEC prompt is identified with the
">" symbol.

Question 14 2 / 2 pts

An administrator has just changed the IP address of an interface on an IOS

device. What else must be done in order to apply those changes to the
device?

Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration file.

Copy the information in the startup configuration file to the running

configuration.

Reload the device and type yes when prompted to save the configuration.

Correct!
Nothing must be done. Changes to the configuration on an IOS device take
effect as soon as the command is typed correctly and the Enter key has been
pressed.

7/2/2019 Chapter 2 Quiz: 5th_CEA_Module_1_2019

Refer to curriculum topic: 2.2.3

Changes to router and switch configurations take effect as soon as
the command is entered. For this reason, it is very important that
changes to live production devices are always carefully planned
before being implemented. If commands are entered that render the
device unstable or inaccessible, the device may have to be reloaded,
resulting in network downtime.

Question 15 2 / 2 pts

An IT technician has manually configured an IP address on a laptop for a

new employee. Each time the employee tries to connect to the LAN, the
employee receives a duplicate IP address error message. What can the
company do to prevent this situation from arising again?

Configure the IP address on an SVI on the laptop.

Use a virtual private network instead of the company LAN.

Correct! Use DHCP to automatically assign addresses.

Use laptops that do not require IP addresses.

Refer to curriculum topic: 2.3.2

Assigning IP addresses automatically using DHCP will greatly
eliminate the chance of a duplicate IP address error.
