NEW QUESTION # 11
An engineer configured a new VLAN named VLAN2 for the Data Center team. When the teamtries to ping addresses outside VLAN2 from a computer in VLAN2, they are unable to reach them.
What should the engineer configure?
- A. Static route
- B. Additional VLAN
- C. Default route
- D. Default gateway
Answer: D
Explanation:
When devices within a VLAN are unable to reach addresses outside their VLAN, it typically indicates that they do not have a configured path to external networks. The engineer should configure a default gateway for VLAN2. The default gateway is the IP address of the router's interface that is connected to the VLAN, which will route traffic from the VLAN to other networks12.

*VLANs: Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) logically segment network traffic to improve security and performance. Devices within the same VLAN can communicate directly.
*Default Gateway: For devices in VLAN2 to communicate with devices outside their VLAN, they need a default gateway configured. The default gateway is typically a router or Layer 3 switch that routes traffic between different VLANs and subnets.
*Additional VLAN: Not needed in this scenario as the issue is related to routing traffic outside VLAN2, not creating another VLAN.
*Default Route: While a default route on the router may be necessary, the primary issue for devices within VLAN2 is to have a configured default gateway.
*Static Route: This is used on routers to manually specify routes to specific networks but does not address the need for a default gateway on the client devices.

NEW QUESTION # 12
Which command will display all the current operational settings configured on a Cisco router?
- A. show protocols
- B. show startup-config
- C. show running-config
- D. show version
Answer: C
Explanation:
Router
Theshow running-configcommand is used on a Cisco router to display the current operational settings that are actively configured in the router's RAM. This command outputs all the configurations that are currently being executed by the router, which includes interface configurations, routing protocols, access lists, and other settings. Unlikeshow startup-config, which shows the saved configuration that the router will use on the next reboot,show running-configreflects the live, current configuration in use.
References:= The information is supported by multiple sources that detail the use of Cisco commands, particularly theshow running-configcommand as the standard for viewing the active configuration on a Cisco device123.
* show running-config: This command displays the current configuration running on the router. It includes all the operational settings and configurations applied to the router.
* show protocols: This command shows the status of configured protocols on the router but not the entire configuration.
* show startup-config: This command displays the configuration saved in NVRAM, which is used to initialize the router on startup, but not necessarily the current running configuration.
* show version: This command provides information about the router's software version, hardware components, and uptime but does not display the running configuration.

NEW QUESTION # 13
A local company requires two networks in two new buildings. The addresses used in these networksmust be in the private network range.
Which two address ranges should the company use? (Choose 2.)
Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct selection.
- A. 192.16.0.0 to 192.16.255.255
- B. 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
- C. 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
- D. 11.0.0.0 to 11.255.255.255
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
The private IP address ranges that are set aside specifically for use within private networks and not routable on the internet are as follows:
* Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
* Class B: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
* Class C: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
These ranges are defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and are used for local communications within a private network123.
Given the options: A.172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255falls within the Class B private range. B.192.16.0.0 to
192.16.255.255is not a recognized private IP range. C.11.0.0.0 to 11.255.255.255is not a recognized private IP range. D.192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255falls within the Class C private range.
Therefore, the correct selections that the company should use for their private networks areAandD.

NEW QUESTION # 14
What is the most compressed valid format of the IPv6 address 2001 :0db8:0000:0016:0000:001b: 2000:0056?
- A. 2001:db8: 16: :1b:2:56
- B. 2001:db8: : 16: : 1b:2:56
- C. 2001:db8: 0:16: :1b: 2000:56
- D. 2001:db8: : 16: : 1b: 2000: 56
Answer: C
Explanation:
IPv6 addresses can be compressed by removing leading zeros and replacing consecutive groups of zeros with a double colon (::). Here's how to compress the address 2001:0db8:0000:0016:0000:001b:2000:0056:
* Remove leading zeros from each segment:
* 2001:db8:0000:0016:0000:001b:2000:0056 becomes 2001:db8:0:16:0:1b:2000:56
* Replace the longest sequence of consecutive zeros with a double colon (::). In this case, the two consecutive zeros between the 16 and 1b:
* 2001:db8:0:16::1b:2000:56
Thus, the most compressed valid format of the IPv6 address is 2001:db8:0:16::1b:2000:56.

NEW QUESTION # 15
A host is given the IP address 172.16.100.25 and the subnet mask 255.255.252.0.
What is the CIDR notation for this address?
- A. 172.16.100.25 /21
- B. 172.16.100.25 /23
- C. 172.16.100.25 /22
- D. 172.16.100.25 /20
Answer: C
Explanation:
The CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation for the subnet mask 255.255.252.0 is /22. This notation indicates that the first 22 bits of the IP address are used for network identification, and the remaining bits are used for host addresses within the network1.
References :=
*Subnet Cheat Sheet - 24 Subnet Mask, 30, 26, 27, 29, and other IP Address CIDR Network References
*Subnet Mask to CIDR Notation: The given subnet mask is 255.255.252.0. To convert this to CIDR notation:
*Convert the subnet mask to binary: 11111111.11111111.11111100.00000000
*Count the number of consecutive 1s in the binary form: There are 22 ones.
*Therefore, the CIDR notation is /22.

NEW QUESTION # 16
Which two statements are true about the IPv4 address of the default gateway configured on a host? (Choose 2.) Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct selection.
- A. The same default gateway IPv4 address is configured on each host on the local network.
- B. The default gateway is the IPv4 address of the router interface connected to the same local network as the host.
- C. The IPv4 address of the default gateway must be the first host address in the subnet.
- D. The default gateway is the Loopback0 interface IPv4 address of the router connected to the same local network as the host.
- E. Hosts learn the default gateway IPv4 address through router advertisement messages.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
*Statement B: "The same default gateway IPv4 address is configured on each host on the local network." This is true because all hosts on the same local network (subnet) use the same default gateway IP address to send packets destined for other networks.
*Statement D: "The default gateway is the IPv4 address of the router interface connected to the same local network as the host." This is true because the default gateway is the IP address of the router's interface that is directly connected to the local network.
*Statement A: "The IPv4 address of the default gateway must be the first host address in the subnet." This is not necessarily true. The default gateway can be any address within the subnet range.
*Statement C: "The default gateway is the Loopback0 interface IPv4 address of the router connected to the same local network as the host." This is not true; the default gateway is the IP address of the router's physical or logical interface connected to the local network.
*Statement E: "Hosts learn the default gateway IPv4 address through router advertisement messages." This is generally true for IPv6 with Router Advertisement (RA) messages, but not typically how IPv4 hosts learn the default gateway address.

NEW QUESTION # 17
Which protocol allows you to securely upload files to another computer on the internet?
- A. HTTP
- B. SFTP
- C. NTP
- D. ICMP
Answer: B
Explanation:
SFTP, or Secure File Transfer Protocol, is a protocol that allows for secure file transfer capabilities between networked hosts. It is a secure extension of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). SFTP encrypts both commands and data, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted openly over the network. It is typically used for secure file transfers over the internet and is built on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol1.
References :=
*What Is SFTP? (Secure File Transfer Protocol)
*How to Use SFTP to Safely Transfer Files: A Step-by-Step Guide
*Secure File Transfers: Best Practices, Protocols And Tools
The Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a secure version of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that uses SSH (Secure Shell) to encrypt all commands and data. This ensures that sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and files being transferred, are securely transmitted over the network.
*ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used for network diagnostics and is not designed for file transfer.
*NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to synchronize clocks between computer systems and is not related to file transfer.
*HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is used for transmitting web pages over the internet and does not inherently provide secure file transfer capabilities.
Thus, the correct protocol that allows secure uploading of files to another computer on the internet is SFTP.

Examine the following output:
Which two conclusions can you make from the output of the tracert command? (Choose 2.) Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct answer.
- A. The routers at hops 5 and 6 are offline.
- B. The trace failed after the fourth hop.
- C. The IPv6 address associated with the www.cisco.com server is 2600:1408: c400: 38d: : b33.
- D. The device sending the trace has IPv6 address 2600:1408:c400:38d :: b33.
- E. The trace successfully reached the www.cisco.com server.
Answer: C,E
Explanation:
*Statement A: "The trace successfully reached the www.cisco.com server." This is true as indicated by the
"Trace complete" message at the end, showing that the trace has reached its destination.
*Statement C: "The IPv6 address associated with the www.cisco.com server is 2600:1408:c400:38d::b33." This is true because the final hop in the trace, which is the destination, has this IPv6 address.
*Statement B: "The trace failed after the fourth hop." This is incorrect as the trace continues beyond the fourth hop, despite some intermediate timeouts.
*Statement D: "The routers at hops 5 and 6 are offline." This is not necessarily true. The routers might be configured to not respond to traceroute requests.
*Statement E: "The device sending the trace has IPv6 address 2600:1408:c400:38d::b33." This is incorrect; this address belongs to the destination server, not the sender.

NEW QUESTION # 21
A user initiates a trouble ticket stating that an external web page is not loading. You determine that other resources both internal and external are still reachable.
Which command can you use to help locate where the issue is in the network path to the external web page?
- A. ping -t
- B. tracert
- C. ipconfig/all
- D. nslookup
Answer: B
Explanation:
The tracert command is used to determine the route taken by packets across an IP network. When a user reports that an external web page is not loading, while other resources are accessible, it suggests there might be an issue at a certain point in the network path to the specific web page. The tracert command helps to diagnose where the breakdown occurs by displaying a list of routers that the packets pass through on their way to the destination. It can identify the network segment where the packets stop progressing, which is valuable for pinpointing where the connectivity issue lies. References := Cisco CCST Networking Certification FAQs - CISCONET Training Solutions, Command Prompt (CMD): 10 network-related commands you should know, Network Troubleshooting Commands Guide: Windows, Mac & Linux - Comparitech, How to Use the Traceroute and Ping Commands to Troubleshoot Network, Network Troubleshooting Techniques: Ping, Traceroute, PathPing.
*tracert Command: This command is used to determine the path packets take to reach a destination. It lists all the hops (routers) along the way and can help identify where the delay or failure occurs.
*ping -t: This command sends continuous ping requests and is useful for determining if a host is reachable but does not provide path information.
*ipconfig /all: This command displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and can be used to verify network settings but not to trace a network path.
*nslookup: This command queries the DNS to obtain domain name or IP address mapping, useful for DNS issues but not for tracing network paths.

You purchase a new Cisco switch, turn it on, and connect to its console port. You then run the following command:
For each statement about the output, select True or False.
Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct selection.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation:
* The two interfaces are administratively shut down:
* False: The output does not show any "shutdown" command under the interfaces, which would indicate that they are administratively shut down. Therefore, they are likely in their default state, which is administratively up.
* The two interfaces have default IP addresses assigned:
* False: The output does not show any IP address configuration. In the default state, interfaces do not have IP addresses assigned unless explicitly configured.
* The two interfaces can communicate over Layer 2:
* True: By default, interfaces on a switch are Layer 2 interfaces capable of forwarding Ethernet frames. As there is no configuration provided that changes this, it can be assumed they can communicate over Layer 2.
* Interface Status: The absence of the "shutdown" command means the interfaces are not administratively shut down.
* IP Address Assignment: There is no evidence in the output that IP addresses have been assigned to the interfaces, which would typically be shown as "ip address" entries.
* Layer 2 Communication: Switch interfaces in their default state operate at Layer 2, enabling them to forward Ethernet frames and participate in Layer 2 communication.

During the data encapsulation process, which OSI layer adds a header that contains MAC addressing information and a trailer used for error checking?
- A. Session
- B. Network
- C. Data Link
- D. Transport
Answer: C
Explanation:
OSI model
During the data encapsulation process, theData Link layerof the OSI model is responsible for adding a header that contains MAC addressing information and a trailer used for error checking.The header typically includes the source and destination MAC addresses, while the trailer contains a Frame Check Sequence (FCS) which is used for error detection1.
The Data Link layer ensures that messages are delivered to the proper device on a LAN using hardware addresses and translates messages from the Network layer into bits for the Physical layer to transmit. It also controls how data is placed onto the medium and is received from the medium through the physical hardware.
