1.

When a collision occurs in a network using CSMA/CD, how do hosts with data to
transmit respond after the backoff period has expired?
**The hosts return to a listen-before-transmit mode.
The hosts creating the collision have priority to send data.
The hosts creating the collision retransmit the last 16 frames.
The hosts extend their delay period to allow for rapid transmission.
2. Refer to the exhibit. The switch and workstation are administratively configu
red for full-duplex operation. Which statement accurately reflects the operation
of this link?
**No collisions will occur on this link.
Only one of the devices can transmit at a time.
The switch will have priority for transmitting data.
The devices will default back to half duplex if excessive collisions occur.
3. Refer to the exhibit. What action does SW1 take on a frame sent from PC_A to
PC_C if the MAC address table of SW1 is empty?
SW1 drops the frame.
**SW1 floods the frame on all ports on SW1, except port Fa0/1.
SW1 floods the frame on all ports on the switch, except Fa0/23 and Fa0/1.
SW1 uses the CDP protocol to synchronize the MAC tables on both switches and the
n forwards the frame to all ports on SW2.
4. When a switch receives a frame and the source MAC address is not found in the
switching table, what action will be taken by the switch to process the incomin
g frame?
The switch will request that the sending node resend the frame.
The switch will issue an ARP request to confirm that the source exists.
**The switch will map the source MAC address to the port on which it was receive
d.
The switch ends an acknowledgement frame to the source MAC of this incoming fram
e.
5. Refer to the exhibit. The switch and the hub have default configurations, and
the switch has built its CAM table. Which of the hosts will capture a copy of t
he frame when workstation A sends a unicast packet to workstation C?

workstations A, B, C, and the interfaces of the router
workstations B, C, D, E, F, and interfaces of the router

8
7. Which two statements about Layer 2 Ethernet switches are true? (Choose two.)
Layer 2 switches prevent broadcasts.
**Layer 2 switches have multiple collision domains.
Layer 2 switches route traffic between different networks.
Layer 2 switches decrease the number of broadcast domains.
**Layer 2 switches can send traffic based on the destination MAC address.
8. Which command line interface (CLI) mode allows users to configure switch para
meters, such as the hostname and password?
user EXEC mode
privileged EXEC mode
**global configuration mode
interface configuration mode
9. A network administrator uses the CLI to enter a command that requires several
parameters. The switch responds with % Incomplete command . The administrator cann
ot remember the missing parameters. What can the administrator do to get the par
ameter information? append ?
to the last parameter
**append a space and then ? to the last parameter
use Ctrl-P to show a parameter list.
use the Tab key to show which options are available
10. Where is the startup configuration stored?
DRAM
**NVRAM
ROM
startup-config.text
11. If a network administrator enters these commands in global configuration mod
e on a switch, what will be the result?
**Switch1(config-line)# line console 0
Switch1(config-line)# password cisco
Switch1(config-line)# login
12. to secure the console port with the password cisco to deny access to the conso
le port by specifying 0 lines are available to gain access to line configuration
mode by supplying the required password to configure the privilege exec passwor
d that will be used for remote access problem?
incorrect vty lines configured
incompatible Secure Shell version
incorrect default gateway address
**vty lines that are configured to allow only Telnet
13. Which two statements are true about EXEC mode passwords? (Choose two.)
The enable secret password command stores the configured password in plain text.
**The enable secret password command provides better security than the enable pa
ssword.
**The enable password and enable secret password protect access to privileged EX
EC mode.
The service password-encryption command is required to encrypt the enable secret
password. Best practices require both the enable password and enable secret pas
sword to be configured and used simultaneously.
14. Refer to the exhibit. The exhibit shows partial output of the show running-c
onfig command. The enable password on this switch is cisco. What can be determined
from the output shown?
The enable password is encrypted by default.
An MD5 hashing algorithm was used on all encrypted passwords.
**Any configured line mode passwords will be encrypted in this configuration.
This line represents most secure privileged EXEC mode password possible.
15. Which statement is true about the command banner login Authorized personnel O
nly issued on a switch?
The command is entered in privileged EXEC mode.
**The command will cause the message Authorized personnel Only to display before
a user logs in.
The command will generate the error message % Ambiguous command: banner motd to be
displayed.
The command will cause the message End with the character % to be displayed after
the command is entered into the switch.
16. What are two ways to make a switch less vulnerable to attacks like MAC addre
ss flooding, CDP attacks, and Telnet attacks? (Choose two.)
Enable CDP on the switch.
**Change passwords regularly.
**Turn off unnecessary services.
Enable the HTTP server on the switch.
Use the enable password rather than the enable secret password.
17. Which two statements are true regarding switch port security? (Choose two.)
The three configurable violation modes all log violations via SNMP.
**Dynamically learned secure MAC addresses are lost when the switch reboots.
The three configurable violation modes all require user intervention to re-enabl
e ports.
After entering the sticky parameter, only MAC addresses subsequently learned are
converted to secure MAC addresses.
**If fewer than the maximum number of MAC addresses for a port are configured st
atically, dynamically learned addresses are added to CAM until the maximum numbe
r is reached.
18. o.O Is there an 18?
19. Refer to the exhibit. What happens when Host 1 attempts to send data?
**Frames from Host 1 cause the interface to shut down.
Frames from Host 1 are dropped and no log message is sent.
Frames from Host 1 create a MAC address entry in the running-config.
Frames from Host 1 will remove all MAC address entries in the address table.
20. What happens when the transport input ssh command is entered on the switch v
ty lines?
The SSH client on the switch is enabled.
**Communication between the switch and remote users is encrypted.
A username/password combination is no longer needed to establish a secure remote
connection to the switch.
The switch requires remote connections via proprietary client software.
21. Refer to the exhibit. A user on PC1 experiences a delay when accessing appli
cations on the server. What two statements about latency are true? (Choose two.)
Each hop in the path adds delay to the overall latency.
**Placing the bits on the wire at PC1 is propagation delay.
Total latency depends solely on the number of devices in the path.
**The NIC delay at points A and F contributes to the overall latency.
The time it takes for an electrical signal to transit the segment from point C t
o point D is the cause for the propagation delay.
Because optimized routing algorithms are faster than switching algorithms, route
rs R1 and R2 are expected to add less latency than switches SW1 and SW2.
22. Refer to the exhibit. Which hosts will receive a broadcast frame sent from H
ost A?
hosts A and B
hosts D and E
hosts A, B, and C
**hosts A, B, C, D, and E
