6. An employee at a branch office is creating a quote for a customer. In order to do this, the
employee needs to access confidential pricing information from internal servers at the
Head Office. What type of network would the employee access?
an intranet
the Internet
an extranet
a local area network
Explanation: Intranet is a term used to refer to a private connection of LANs and WANs that
belongs to an organization. An intranet is designed to be accessible only by the organization’s
members, employees, or others with authorization.
Explanation: Powerline networking adds the ability to connect a device to the network using
an adapter wherever there is an electrical outlet. The network uses existing electrical wiring to
send data. It is not a replacement for physical cabling, but it can add functionality in places
where wireless access points cannot be used or cannot reach devices.
fault tolerance
scalability
security
Quality of Service (QoS)
reliability
Explanation: Network security includes protecting the confidentiality of data that is on the
network. In this case, because confidential data has been made available to unauthorized
users, the security characteristic of the network has failed.
9. Match each characteristic to its corresponding Internet connectivity type. (Not all options
are used.)
Explanation: DSL is an always-on, high bandwidth connection that runs over telephone lines.
Cable uses the same coaxial cable that carries television signals into the home to provide
Internet access. Dialup telephone is much slower than either DSL or cable, but is the least
expensive option for home users because it can use any telephone line and a simple modem.
Satellite requires a clear line of sight and is affected by trees and other obstructions. None of
these typical home options use dedicated leased lines such as T1/E1 and T3/E3.
10. What two criteria are used to help select a network medium from various network
media? (Choose two.)
Explanation: Criteria for choosing a network medium are the distance the selected medium
can successfully carry a signal, the environment in which the selected medium is to be
installed, the amount of data and the speed at which the data must be transmitted, and the
cost of the medium and its installation.
email
on-line purchasing
video conferencing
wiki
12. A user is implementing security on a small office network. Which two actions would
provide the minimum security requirements for this network? (Choose two.)
implementing a firewall
installing a wireless network
installing antivirus software
implementing an intrusion detection system
adding a dedicated intrusion prevention device
13. Passwords can be used to restrict access to all or parts of the Cisco IOS. Select the
modes and interfaces that can be protected with passwords. (Choose three.)
VTY interface
console interface
Ethernet interface
boot IOS mode
privileged EXEC mode
router configuration mode
Explanation: Access to the VTY and console interfaces can be restricted using passwords.
Out-of-band management of the router can be restricted in both user EXEC and privileged
EXEC modes.
Explanation: In a Layer 2 switch, there is a switch virtual interface (SVI) that provides a
means for remotely managing the device.
15. What function does pressing the Tab key have when entering a command in IOS?
Explanation: Pressing the Tab key after a command has been partially typed will cause the
IOS to complete the rest of the command.
16. While trying to solve a network issue, a technician made multiple changes to the
current router configuration file. The changes did not solve the problem and were not
saved. What action can the technician take to discard the changes and work with the file in
NVRAM?
Explanation: The technician does not want to make any mistakes trying to remove all the
changes that were done to the running configuration file. The solution is to reboot the router
without saving the running configuration. The copy startup-config running-config command
does not overwrite the running configuration file with the configuration file stored in NVRAM,
but rather it just has an additive effect.
17. An administrator uses the Ctrl-Shift-6 key combination on a switch after issuing the
ping command. What is the purpose of using these keystrokes?
Explanation: To interrupt an IOS process such as ping or traceroute, a user enters the Ctrl-
Shift-6 key combination. Tab completes the remainder of parameters or arguments within a
command. To exit from configuration mode to privileged mode use the Ctrl-Z keystroke. CTRL-
R will redisplay the line just typed, thus making it easier for the user to press Enter and
reissue the ping command.
18. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is configuring access control to switch
SW1. If the administrator uses a console connection to connect to the switch, which
password is needed to access user EXEC mode?
letmein
secretin
lineconin
linevtyin
Explanation: Telnet accesses a network device through the virtual interface configured with
the line VTY command. The password configured under this is required to access the user
EXEC mode. The password configured under the line console 0 command is required to gain
entry through the console port, and the enable and enable secret passwords are used to allow
entry into the privileged EXEC mode.
Telnet access
SVI
password encryption
physical switchport access
20. Which command or key combination allows a user to return to the previous level in the
command hierarchy?
end
exit
Ctrl-Z
Ctrl-C
Explanation: End and CTRL-Z return the user to the privileged EXEC mode. Ctrl-C ends a
command in process. The exit command returns the user to the previous level.
21. What are two characteristics of RAM on a Cisco device? (Choose two.)
Explanation: RAM stores data that is used by the device to support network operations. The
running configuration is stored in RAM. This type of memory is considered volatile memory
because data is lost during a power cycle. Flash memory stores the IOS and delivers a copy
of the IOS into RAM when a device is powered on. Flash memory is nonvolatile since it
retains stored contents during a loss of power.
22. Which two host names follow the guidelines for naming conventions on Cisco IOS
devices? (Choose two.)
Branch2!
RM-3-Switch-2A4
Floor(15)
HO Floor 17
SwBranch799
Explanation: Some guidelines for naming conventions are that names should:
Start with a letter
Contain no spaces
End with a letter or digit
Use only letters, digits, and dashes
Be less than 64 characters in length
SSH makes connections over the network, whereas Telnet is for out-of-band access.
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.
Explanation: 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.
24. An administrator is configuring a switch console port with a password. In what order will
the administrator travel through the IOS modes of operation in order to reach the mode in
which the configuration commands will be entered? (Not all options are used.)
Explanation: The configuration mode that the administrator first encounters is user EXEC
mode. After the enable command is entered, the next mode is privileged EXEC mode. From
there, the configure terminal command is entered to move to global configuration mode.
Finally, the administrator enters the line console 0 command to enter the mode in which the
configuration will be entered.
Explanation: Switches have one or more switch virtual interfaces (SVIs). SVIs are created in
software since there is no physical hardware associated with them. Virtual interfaces provide
a means to remotely manage a switch over a network that is using IP. Each switch comes
with one SVI appearing in the default configuration “out-of-the-box.” The default SVI interface
is VLAN1.
26. What command is used to verify the condition of the switch interfaces, including the
status of the interfaces and a configured IP address?
ipconfig
ping
traceroute
show ip interface brief
Explanation: The show ip interface brief command is used to display a brief synopsis of the
condition of the device interfaces. The ipconfig command is used to verify TCP/IP properties
on a host. The ping command is used to verify Layer 3 connectivity. The traceroute command
is used to trace the network path from source to destination.
27. Match the description with the associated IOS mode. (Not all options are used.)
28. Match the definitions to their respective CLI hot keys and shortcuts. (Not all options are
used.)
29. In the show running-config command, which part of the syntax is represented by
running-config ?
the command
a keyword
a variable
a prompt
Explanation: The first part of the syntax, show, is the command, and the second part of the
syntax, running-config, is the keyword. The keyword specifies what should be displayed as
the output of the show command.
30. After making configuration changes on a Cisco switch, a network administrator issues
a copy running-config startup-config command. What is the result of issuing this
command?
31. What command will prevent all unencrypted passwords from displaying in plain text in
a configuration file?
Explanation: To prevent all configured passwords from appearing in plain text in configuration
files, an administrator can execute the service password-encryption command. This command
encrypts all configured passwords in the configuration file.
32. A network administrator enters the service password-encryption command into the
configuration mode of a router. What does this command accomplish?
This command encrypts passwords as they are transmitted across serial WAN links.
This command prevents someone from viewing the running configuration passwords.
This command enables a strong encryption algorithm for the enable secret password
command.
This command automatically encrypts passwords in configuration files that are currently
stored in NVRAM.
This command provides an exclusive encrypted password for external service personnel who
are required to do router maintenance.
Explanation: The startup-config and running-config files display most passwords in plaintext.
Use the service password-encryption global config command to encrypt all plaintext
passwords in these files.
33. What method can be used by two computers to ensure that packets are not dropped
because too much data is being sent too quickly?
encapsulation
flow control
access method
response timeout
Explanation: In order for two computers to be able to communicate effectively, there must be
a mechanism that allows both the source and destination to set the timing of the transmission
and receipt of data. Flow control allows for this by ensuring that data is not sent too fast for it
to be received properly.
Data is sent from the internet layer to the network access layer.
Packets are sent from the network access layer to the transport layer.
Segments are sent from the transport layer to the internet layer.
Frames are sent from the network access layer to the internet layer.
Explanation: When the data is traveling from the PC to the network, the transport layer
sends segments to the internet layer. The internet layer sends packets to the network access
layer, which creates frames and then converts the frames to bits. The bits are released to the
network media.
35. What three application layer protocols are part of the TCP/IP protocol suite? (Choose
three.)
ARP
DHCP
DNS
FTP
NAT
PPP
Explanation: DNS, DHCP, and FTP are all application layer protocols in the TCP/IP protocol
suite. ARP and PPP are network access layer protocols, and NAT is an internet layer protocol
in the TCP/IP protocol suite.
36. Match the description to the organization. (Not all options are used.)
Explanation: The EIA is an international standards and trade organization for electronics
organizations. It is best known for its standards related to electrical wiring, connectors, and
the 19-inch racks used to mount networking equipment.
bits
data
frame
packet
segment
Explanation: Application data is passed down the protocol stack on its way to be transmitted
across the network media. During the process, various protocols add information to it at each
level. At each stage of the process, a PDU (protocol data unit) has a different name to reflect
its new functions. The PDUs are named according to the protocols of the TCP/IP suite:
Data – The general term for the PDU used at the application layer.
Segment – transport layer PDU
Packet – network layer PDU
Frame – data link layer PDU
Bits – A physical layer PDU used when physically transmitting data over the medium
38. When IPv4 addressing is manually configured on a web server, which property of the
IPv4 configuration identifies the network and host portion for an IPv4 address?
Explanation: There are several components that need to be entered when configuring IPv4
for an end device:
IPv4 address – uniquely identifies an end device on the network
Subnet mask – determines the network address portion and host portion for an IPv4 address
Default gateway – the IP address of the router interface used for communicating with hosts in
another network
DNS server address – the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server
DHCP server address (if DHCP is used) is not configured manually on end devices. It will be
provided by a DHCP server when an end device requests an IP address.
39. What process involves placing one PDU inside of another PDU?
encapsulation
encoding
segmentation
flow control
40. What layer is responsible for routing messages through an internetwork in the TCP/IP
model?
internet
transport
network access
session
Explanation: The TCP/IP model consists of four layers: application, transport, internet, and
network access. Of these four layers, it is the internet layer that is responsible for routing
messages. The session layer is not part of the TCP/IP model but is rather part of the OSI
model.
41. For the TCP/IP protocol suite, what is the correct order of events when a Telnet
message is being prepared to be sent over the network?
42. Which PDU format is used when bits are received from the network medium by the NIC
of a host?
file
frame
packet
segment
Explanation: When received at the physical layer of a host, the bits are formatted into a
frame at the data link layer. A packet is the PDU at the network layer. A segment is the PDU at
the transport layer. A file is a data structure that may be used at the application layer.
43. Refer to the exhibit. ServerB is attempting to contact HostA. Which two statements
correctly identify the addressing that ServerB will generate in the process? (Choose two.)
Explanation: In order to send data to HostA, ServerB will generate a packet that contains the
IP address of the destination device on the remote network and a frame that contains the
MAC address of the default gateway device on the local network.
44. Which method allows a computer to react accordingly when it requests data from a
server and the server takes too long to respond?
encapsulation
flow control
access method
response timeout
Explanation: If a computer makes a request and does not hear a response within an
acceptable amount of time, the computer assumes that no answer is coming and reacts
accordingly.
45. A web client is receiving a response for a web page from a web server. From the
perspective of the client, what is the correct order of the protocol stack that is used to
decode the received transmission?
Explanation:
1. HTTP governs the way that a web server and client interact.
2. TCP manages individual conversations between web servers and clients.
3. IP is responsible for delivery across the best path to the destination.
4. Ethernet takes the packet from IP and formats it for transmission.
46. Which two OSI model layers have the same functionality as a single layer of the TCP/IP
model? (Choose two.)
data link
network
physical
session
transport
Explanation: The OSI data link and physical layers together are equivalent to the TCP/IP
network access layer. The OSI transport layer is functionally equivalent to the TCP/IP
transport layer, and the OSI network layer is equivalent to the TCP/IP internet layer. The OSI
application, presentation, and session layers are functionally equivalent to the application
layer within the TCP/IP model.
47. At which layer of the OSI model would a logical address be added during
encapsulation?
physical layer
data link layer
network layer
transport layer
Explanation: Logical addresses, also known as IP addresses, are added at the network
layer. Physical addresses are edded at the data link layer. Port addresses are added at the
transport layer. No addresses are added at the physical layer.
Network protocols define the type of hardware that is used and how it is mounted in racks.
They define how messages are exchanged between the source and the destination.
They all function in the network access layer of TCP/IP.
They are only required for exchange of messages between devices on remote networks.
Network communications is confined to data transfers between devices from the same
vendor.
A client host and a server running different operating systems can successfully
exchange data.
Internet access can be controlled by a single ISP in each market.
Competition and innovation are limited to specific types of products.
51. Which device performs the function of determining the path that messages should
take through internetworks?
a router
a firewall
a web server
a DSL modem
Explanation: A router is used to determine the path that the messages should take through
the network. A firewall is used to filter incoming and outgoing traffic. A DSL modem is used to
provide Internet connection for a home or an organization.

192.168.10.1
192.168.5.0
Explanation: After the enable command is issued, the show running-configuration command
or the show ip interfaces brief command will display the IP address of the switch virtual
interface (SVI).
Explanation: A switch, as a Layer 2 device, does not need an IP address to transmit frames
to attached devices. However, when a switch is accessed remotely through the network, it
must have a Layer 3 address. The IP address must be applied to a virtual interface rather
than to a physical interface. Routers, not switches, function as default gateways.
54. Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is trying to configure the switch but receives the
error message that is displayed in the exhibit. What is the problem?
CCNA-1-v7-Modules-1-3-Basic Network

Explanation: In order to enter global configuration mode, the command configure terminal, or
a shortened version such as config t, must be entered from privileged EXEC mode. In this
scenario the administrator is in user EXEC mode, as indicated by the > symbol after the
hostname. The administrator would need to use the enable command to move into privileged
EXEC mode before entering the configure terminal command.
