What characteristic describes a VPN?
a tunneling protocol that provides remote users with secure access into the network of an organization
108
A network administrator is adding a new LAN to a branch office. The new LAN must support 4 connected devices. What is the smallest network mask that the network administrator can use for the new network?
255.255.255.248
109
During the process of forwarding traffic, what will the router do immediately after matching the destination IP address to a network on a directly connected routing table entry?
switch the packet to the directly connected interface
110
A client packet is received by a server. The packet has a destination port number of 21. What service is the client requesting?
FTP
111
What service is provided by BOOTP?
Legacy application that enables a diskless workstation to discover its own IP address and find a BOOTP server on the network.
112
Message sizing
typically would match with a description related to determining the size of messages for efficient network transmission, which might involve breaking up a long message into smaller pieces, also known as segmentation.
113
Message encoding
The process of converting information from one format into another acceptable for transmission. Encoding is the preparation of message data for transport across a network, where data is transformed into a suitable format for transmission over the network.
113
Message encapsulation
The process of placing one message format inside another message format. Encapsulation refers to the wrapping of data with protocol information before network transmission, where each layer in the OSI model encapsulates the layer above it.
114
What two ICMPv6 message types must be permitted through IPv6 access control lists to allow resolution of Layer 3 addresses to Layer 2 MAC addresses?
-neighbor advertisements -neighbor solicitations
114
A technician can ping the IP address of the web server of a remote company but cannot successfully ping the URL address of the same web server. Which software utility can the technician use to diagnose the problem?
nslookup
115
The switches have a default configuration. Host A needs to communicate with host D, but host A does not have the MAC address for the default gateway. Which network devices will receive the ARP request sent by host A?
only hosts B, C, and router R1
115
Which two functions are performed at the LLC sublayer of the OSI Data Link Layer to facilitate Ethernet communication?
-places information in the Ethernet frame that identifies which network layer protocol is being encapsulated by the frame -enables IPv4 and IPv6 to utilize the same physical medium
115
Which two functions are performed at the LLC sublayer of the OSI Data Link Layer to facilitate Ethernet communication?
-places information in the Ethernet frame that identifies which network layer protocol is being encapsulated by the frame -adds Ethernet control information to network protocol data
116
Two pings were issued from a host on a local network. The first ping was issued to the IP address of the default gateway of the host and it failed. The second ping was issued to the IP address of a host outside the local network and it was successful. What is a possible cause for the failed ping?
Security rules are applied to the default gateway device, preventing it from processing ping requests.
116
What is a benefit of using cloud computing in networking?
Network capabilities are extended without requiring investment in new infrastructure, personnel, or software
117
Application filters
prevent access based on Layer 4 port numbers
118
Packet filters
prevent access based on IP or MAC address
118
URL filters
prevent access to web site URLs or content.
119
Stateful packet
inspection prevents unsolicited incoming sessions
119
Network address
translators translate internal IP addresses to to outside IP addresses and do not prevent network attacks
119
A client packet is received by a server. The packet has a destination port number of 22. What service is the client requesting?
SSH
120
What service is provided by SMTP?
Allows clients to send email to a mail server and the servers to send email to other servers
121
A network administrator is adding a new LAN to a branch office. The new LAN must support 10 connected devices. What is the smallest network mask that the network administrator can use for the new network?
255.255.255.240
122
When a switch configuration includes a user-defined error threshold on a per-port basis, to which switching method will the switch revert when the error threshold is reached?
store-and-forward
123
What are proprietary protocols?
protocols developed by organizations who have control over their definition and operation
124
What is an advantage to using a protocol that is defined by an open standard?
It encourages competition and promotes choices.
125
Which type of server relies on record types such as A, NS, AAAA, and MX in order to provide services?
DNS
126
Peer-to-peer network
-no dedicated server is required -client and server roles are set on per requests basis
127
