CCNA Basic Questions - Page 1 preview imageCCNA - Basic QuestionsQuestion 1What is the first 24 bits in a MAC address called?A. NICB. BIAC. GUID. VAIAnswer: CExplanationOrganizational Unique Identifier (GUI) is the first 24 bits of a MAC address for a network device,which indicates the specific vendor for that device as assigned by the Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers, Incorporated (IEEE). This identifier uniquely identifies a vendor,manufacturer, or an organization.Question 2Which of the following statements describe the network shown in the graphic? (Choose two)A. There are two broadcast domains in the network.B. There are four broadcast domains in the network.C. There are six broadcast domains in the network.D. There are four collision domains in the network.E. There are five collision domains in the network.F. There are seven collision domains in the network.
Page 2 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 2 preview imageAnswer:A FExplanationOnly router can break up broadcast domains so in the exhibit there are 2 broadcast domains: from eOinterface to the left is a broadcast domain and from el interface to the right is another broadcastdomain -> A is correct.Both router and switch can break up collision domains so there is only 1 collision domain on the leftof the router (because hub doesn't break up collision domain) and there are 6 collision domains onthe right of the router (1 collision domain from el interface to the switch + 5 collision domains for 5PCs in Production) -> F is correct.Question 3Refer to the exhibit:System flash directorFile Length Name/status1 3802992 c827v-y6-mz.121-l.XB[3803056 bytes used,4585552 available, 8388608 total]8192K bytes of processor board System flash(Read/Write)The technician wants to upload a new IOS in the router while keeping the existing IOS. What is themaximum size of an IOS file that could be loaded if the original IOS is also kept in flash?A. 3MBB. 5MBC. 7MBD. 4MBAnswer: DExplanationFrom the exhibit we learn there are 4585552 bytes (over 4MB) available so it is only enough spacefor an IOS file of 4MB. If bigger file is copied then the existing IOS file will be erased (overwritten).Question 4Refer to the exhibit. What is the meaning of the output MTU 1500 bytes?

The minimum segment size that can traverse this interface is 1500 bytes.D. The minimum packet size that can traverse this interface is 1500 bytes.E. The maximum packet size that can traverse this interface is 1500 bytes.F.The maximum frame size that can traverse this interface is 1500 bytes.Answer:EExplanationThe Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) defines the maximum Layer 3 packet (in bytes) that thelayer can pass onwards.Question 5A network interface port has collision detection and carrier sensing enabled on a shared twisted pairnetwork. From this statement, what is known about the network interface port?A. This is a 10 Mb/s switch port.B. This is a 100 Mb/s switch port.C. This is an Ethernet port operating at half duplex.D. This is an Ethernet port operating at full duplex.E. This is a port on a network interface card in a PC.Answer: CExplanationModem Ethernet networks built with switches and full-duplex connections no longer utilizeCSMA/CD. CSMA/CD is only used in obsolete shared media Ethernet (which uses repeater or hub).Question 6In an Ethernet network, under what two scenarios can devices transmit? (Choose two)
Page 4 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 4 preview imageA. when they receive a special tokenB. when there is a carrierC. when they detect no other devices are sendingD. when the medium is idleE. when the server grants accessAnswer: C DExplanationEthernet network is a shared environment so all devices have the right to access to the medium. Ifmore than one device transmits simultaneously, the signals collide and can not reach the destination.If a device detects another device is sending, it will wait for a specified amount of time beforeattempting to transmit.When there is no traffic detected, a device will transmit its message. While this transmission isoccurring, the device continues to listen for traffic or collisions on the LAN. After the message issent, the device returns to its default listening mode.So we can see C and D are the correct answers. But in fact —answer C when they detect no otherdevices are sending! and —when the medium is idle! are nearly the same.Question 7For what two purposes does the Ethernet protocol use physical addresses? (Choose two)A. to uniquely identify devices at Layer 2B. to allow communication with devices on a different networkC. to differentiate a Layer 2 frame from a Layer 3 packetD. to establish a priority system to determine which device gets to transmit firstE. to allow communication between different devices on the same networkF. to allow detection of a remote device when its physical address is unknownAnswer:A EExplanationPhysical addresses or MAC addresses are used to identify devices at layer 2 -> A is correct.MAC addresses are only used to communicate on the same network. To communicate on differentnetwork we have to use Layer 3 addresses (IP addresses) -> B is not correct; E is correct.Layer 2 frame and Layer 3 packet can be recognized via headers. Layer 3 packet also containsphysical address -> C is not correct.
Page 5 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 5 preview imageOn Ethernet, each frame has the same priority to transmit by default -> D is not correct.All devices need a physical address to identify itself. If not, they can not communicate -> F is notcorrect.Question 8Which two locations can be configured as a source for the IOS image in the boot system command?(Choose two)A. RAMB. NVRAMC. flash memoryD. HTTP serverE. TFTP serverF. Telnet serverAnswer: CEExplanationThe following locations can be configured as a source for the IOS image:+ Flash (the default location)+ TFTP server+ ROM (used if no other source is found)Question 9What is the difference between a CSU/DSU and a modem?A. A CSU/DSU converts analog signals from a router to a leased line; a modem converts analogsignals from a router to a leased line.B. A CSU/DSU converts analog signals from a router to a phone line; a modem converts digitalsignals from a router to a leased line.C. A CSU/DSU converts digital signals from a router to a phone line; a modem converts analogsignals from a router to a phone line.D. A CSU/DSU converts digital signals from a router to a leased line; a modem converts digitalsignals from a router to a phone line.Answer: DQuestion 10A Cisco router is booting and has just completed the POST process. It is now ready to find and loadan IOS image. What function does the router perform next?
Page 6 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 6 preview imageA. It checks the configuration registerB. It attempts to boot from a TFTP serverC. It loads the first image file in flash memoryD. It inspects the configuration file in NVRAM for boot instructionsAnswer:AExplanationWhen you turn the router on, it runs through the following boot process.The Power-On Self Test (POST) checks the router's hardware. When the POST completessuccessfully, the System OK LED indicator comes on.The router checks the configuration register to identify where to load the IOS image from. A settingof 0x2102 means that the router will use information in the startup-config file to locate the IOSimage. If the startup-config file is missing or does not specify a location, it will check the followinglocations for the IOS image:1. Flash (the default location)2. TFTP server3. ROM (used if no other source is found)The router loads the configuration file into RAM (which configures the router). The router can load aconfiguration file from:+ NVRAM (startup-configuration file)+ TFTP serverIf a configuration file is not found, the router starts in setup mode.

What is thecause of this failure?A. A Level 5 password is not set.B. An ACL is blocking Telnet access.C. The vty password is missing.D. The console password is missing.Answer: CQuestion 3Before installing a new, upgraded version of the IOS, what should be checked on the router, andwhich command should be used to gather this information? (Choose two)A. the amount of available ROMB. the amount of available flash and RAM memoryC. the version of the bootstrap software present on the routerD. show versionE. show processesF. show running-config
Page 9 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 9 preview imageAnswer: B DExplanationWhen upgrading new version of the IOS we need to copy the IOS to the Flash so first we have tocheck if the Flash has enough memoiy or not. Also running the new IOS may require more RAMthan the older one so we should check the available RAM too. We can check both with the —showversion! command.Question 4Refer to the exhibit. An administrator pings the default gateway at 10.10.10.1 and sees the output asshown. At which OSI layer is the problem?O p i n g10.10.10.1Pinging 10.10.10.1 with 32 bytes of data:Request timed out.Request timed out.Request timed out.Request timed out.Ping statistics for 10.10.10.1:Packets: sent - 4, Received = 0, Lost - 4 (100% loss)A. data link layerB. application layerC.access layerD. session layerE. network layerAnswer:EExplanationThe Network layer is responsible for network addressing and routing through the internetwork. So aping fails, you may have an issue with the Network layer (although lower layers like Data Link &Physical may cause the problem).Question 5At which layer of the OSI model does PPP perform?A. Layer 2B.Layer 3C.Layer 4D. Layer 5
Page 10 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 10 preview imageAnswer: AQuestion 6Which of the following correctly describe steps in the OSI data encapsulation process? (Choose two)A. The transport layer divides a data stream into segments and may add reliability and flow controlinformation.B. The data link layer adds physical source and destination addresses and an FCS to the segment.C. Packets are created when the network layer encapsulates a frame with source and destination hostaddresses and protocol-related control information.D. Packets are created when the network layer adds Layer 3 addresses and control information to asegment.E. The presentation layer translates bits into voltages for transmission across the physical link.Answer: A DExplanationThe transport layer segments data into smaller pieces for transport. Each segment is assigned asequence number, so that the receiving device can reassemble the data on arrival.The transport layer also use flow control to maximize the transfer rate while minimizing therequirements to retransmit. For example, in TCP, basic flow control is implemented byacknowledgment by the receiver of the receipt of data; the sender waits for this acknowledgmentbefore sending the next part.-> A is correct.The data link layer adds physical source and destination addresses and an Frame Check Sequence(FCS) to the packet (on Layer 3), not segment (on Layer 4) -> B is not correct.Packets are created when network layer encapsulates a segment (not frame) with source anddestination host addresses and protocol-related control information. Notice that the network layerencapsulates messages received from higher layers by placing them into datagrams (also calledpackets) with a network layer header -> C is not correct.The Network layer (Layer 3) has two key responsibilities. First, this layer controls the logicaladdressing of devices. Second, the network layer determines the best path to a particular destinationnetwork, and routes the data appropriately.-> D is correct.The Physical layer (presentation layer) translates bits into voltages for transmission across thephysical link -> E is not correct.

CCNA Basic Questions - Page 12 preview imageA receiving host computes the checksum on a frame and determines that the frame is damaged. Theframe is then discarded. At which OSI layer did this happen?A. sessionB. networkC. physicalD. data linkE. transportAnswer: DExplanationWhen using the term —frame! we can easily recognize it belongs to the Data Link layerJn this layer,an Frame Check Sequence (FCS) field is added to the frame to verify that the frame data is receivedcorrectly.CCNA - IOS QuestionsQuestion 1Which command encrypts all plaintext passwords?A. Router# service password-encryptionB. Router(config)# password-encryptionC. Router(config)# service password-encryptionD. Router# password-encryptionAnswer: CQuestion 2What can be done to secure the virtual terminal interfaces on a router? (Choose two)A. Administratively shut down the interface.B. Physically secure the interface.C. Create an access list and apply it to the virtual terminal interfaces with the access-groupcommand.D. Configure a virtual terminal password and login process.E. Enter an access list and apply it to the virtual terminal interfaces using the access-class command.
Page 13 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 13 preview imageAnswer: D EExplanationIt is a waste to administratively shut down the interface. Moreover, someone can still access thevirtual terminal interfaces via other interfaces -> A is not correct.We can not physically secure a virtual interface because it is —virtually B is not correct.To apply an access list to a virtual terminal interface we must use the —accessdassll command. The—acces groupll command is only used to apply an access list to a phys ical interface -> C is notcorrect; E is correct.The most simple way to secure the virtual terminal interface is to configure a username & passwordto prevent unauthorized login -> D is correct.Question 3Refer to the exhibit. Why is flash memory erased prior to upgrading the IOS image from the TFTPserver?Router#copy tftp flashAddress or name of remote host []? 192.168.2.167Source filename []? cl600-k8sy-mz.l23-16a.binDestination filename [cl600-k8sy-mz.l23-16a.bin]?Accessing tftp://192.168.2.167/ cl600-k8sy-mz.l23-16a.bin...Erasing flash before copying?

Flash memory on Cisco routers can contain only a single IOS image.C. Erasing current flash content is requested during the copy dialog.D. In order for the router to use the new image as the default, it must be the only IOS image in flash.Answer: C
Page 14 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 14 preview imageExplanationDuring the copy process, the router asked —Erasing flash before copying? [confirm]IIand theadministrator confirmed (by pressing Enter) so the flash was deleted.Note: In this case, the flash has enough space to copy a new IOS without deleting the current one.The current IOS is deleted just because the administrator wants to do so. If the flash does not haveenough space you will see an error message like this:%Error copying tftp://192.168.2.167/ cl600-k8sy-mz.l23-16a.bin (Not enough space on device)Question 4How does using theservice password encryptioncommand on a router provide additionalsecurity?A. by encrypting all passwords passing through the routerB. by encrypting passwords in the plain text configuration fileC. by requiring entry of encrypted passwords for access to the deviceD. by configuring an MD5 encrypted key to be used by routing protocols to validate routingexchangesE. by automatically suggesting encrypted passwords for use in configuring the routerAnswer: BExplanationBy using this command, all the (current and future) passwords are encrypted. This command isprimarily useful for keeping unauthorized individuals from viewing your password in yourconfiguration file.Question 5What is a global command?A. a command that is available in every release of IOS, regardless of the version or deploymentstatusB. a command that can be entered in any configuration modeC. a command that is universal in application and supports all protocolsD. a command that is implemented in all foreign and domestic IOS versionsE. a command that is set once and affects the entire routerAnswer:E
Page 15 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 15 preview imageExplanationA global command is a command in this form:Device(config)#This mode can affect the entire router/switch.For more information about modes in Cisco devices, please read my Cisco Command Line InterfaceCLI tutorial.Question 6Refer to the exhibit.line vty 0 4password 7 030752180599logintransport input sshWhat is the effect of the configuration that is shown?A. It configures SSH globally for all logins.B. It tells the router or switch to try to establish an SSh connection first and if that foils to use Telnet.C. It configures the virtual terminal lines with the password 030752180500.D. It configures a Cisco network device to use the SSH protocol on incoming communications viathe virtual terminal ports.E. It allows seven failed login attempts before the VTY lines are temporarily shutdown.Answer: DQuestion 7Which router IOS commands can be used to troubleshoot LAN connectivity problems? (Choosethree)A. pingB. tracertC. ipconfigD. show ip routeE. winipcfgF. show interfacesAnswer:A D F
Page 16 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 16 preview imageExplanationThe ping command can be used to test if the local device can reach a specific destination -> A iscorrect.—tracertll is not a valid command in Cisco IOS commands, the correct command should be—traceroutell-> B is not correct.The ipconfig command is not a valid command in Cisco IOS too -> C is not correct.The —show ip routell command can be used to view the routing table of the router. It is a very usefulcommand to find out many connectivity problems (like directly connected networks, learned networkvia routing protocols...) -> D is correct.—winipcfgll is an old tool in Windows 95/98 to view IP settings of the installed network interfaces.But it is not a valid command in Cisco IOS commands -> E is not correct.The —show interfacesll command is used to check all the interfaces on the local device only. It hasvery limited information to trouble LAN connectivity problem but it is the most reasonable to choose-> F is acceptable.Question 8Which command shows your active Telnet connections?A. show sessionsB. show cdp neighborsC. show usersD. show queueAnswer: AQuestion 9Which command would you configure globally on a Cisco router that would allow you to view directlyconnected Cisco devices?A. enable cdpB. cdp enableC. cdp runD. run cdpAnswer: CQuestion 10
Page 17 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 17 preview imageA network administrator needs to allow only one Telnet connection to a router. For anyone viewingthe confguration and issuing the show run command, the password for Telnet access should beencrypted. Which set of commands will accomplish this task?A. service password-encryptionaccess-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255line vty 0 4loginpassword ciscoaccess-class 1B. enable password secretline vty 0loginpassword ciscoC.service password-encryptionline vty 1loginpassword ciscoD.service password-encryptionline vty 0 4loginpassword ciscoAnswer: CQuestion 11What is the effect of using the service password-encryption command?A. Only passwords configured after the command has been entered will be encrypted.B. Only the enable password will be encrypted.C.Only the enable secret password will be encryptedD.It will encrypt the secret password and remove the enable secret password from the configuration.E. It will encrypt all current and future passwords.Answer: EExplanationThe secret password (configured by the command —enable secret —) is always encrypted even if the—service passwordbncryptionll command is not used. Moreover, the secret password is not removedfrom the configuration with this command, we still see it in encrypted form in the running-config ->D is not correct.
Page 18 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 18 preview imageThe —enable password IIdoes not encrypt the password and can be viewed in clear text in therunning-config. By using the —servictpassword-encryptionll command, that password is encrypted(both current and future passwords) -> A is not correct, E is correct.Answer B - Only the enable password will be encrypted seems to be correct but it implies the secretpassword will not be encrypted and stay in clear text, which is not correct.For your information, the secret password is encrypted with MD5 one-way hash algorithm which isharder to break than the encryption algorithm used by the —service passwordmcryptionll command.CCNA - WAN QuestionsQuestion 1Which PPP subprotocol negotiates authentication options?A. NCPB. ISDNC. SUPD. LCPE. DLCIAnswer: DQuestion 2A network administrator needs to configure a serial link between the main office and a remotelocation. The router at the remote office is a non-Cisco router. How should the network administratorconfigure the serial interface of the main office router to make the connection?A.

(Choose two)A. PPPB. WAPC. DSLD. L2TPv3E. EthernetAnswer: A CQuestion 4Which Layer 2 protocol encapsulation type supports synchronous and asynchronous circuits andhas built-in security mechanisms?A. HDLCB. PPPC. X.25D. Frame RelayAnswer: BExplanationPPP supports both synchronous (like analog phone lines) and asynchronous circuits (such as ISDN ordigital links). With synchronous circuits we need to use clock rate.Note: Serial links can be synchronous or asynchronous. Asynchronous connections used to be onlyavailable on low-speed (<2MB) serial interfaces, but now, there are the new HWICs (High-SpeedWAN Interface Cards) which also support asynchronous mode.

(config-if)# authentication ppp chap fallback pppB. (config-if)# authentication ppp chap papC. (config-if)# ppp authentication chap papD. (config-if)# ppp authentication chap fallback pppAnswer: CExplanationThe command —ppp authentication chap papll command indicates the CHAP authentication is usedfirst. If it fails or is rejected by other side then uses PAP instead. If you want to use PAP first (thenCHAP) you can use the —ppp authentication pap chap IIcommand.Question 6Which of the following describes the roles of devices in a WAN? (Choose three.)A. A CSU/DSU terminates a digital local loopB. A modem terminates a digital local loopC. A CSU/DSU terminates an analog local loopD. A modem terminates an analog local loopE. A router is commonly considered a DTE deviceF. A router is commonly considered a DCE deviceAnswer: A D EExplanationThe idea behind a WAN is to be able to connect two DTE networks together through a DCEnetwork. The network's DCE device (includes CSU/DSU) provides clocking to the DTE -connectedinterface (the router's serial interface).

Switch-1 will drop the data because it does not have an entry for that MAC address.B. Switch-1 will forward the data to its default gateway.C. Switch-1 will flood the data out all of its ports except the port from which the data originated.D. Switch-1 will send an ARP request out all its ports except the port from which the data originated.Answer: CExplanationThe MAC address of 00b0.d056.efa4 has not been learned in its MAC address table so Switch-1 willbroadcast the frame out all of its ports except the port from which the data originated.Question 2WorkstationA technician has installed SwitchB and needs to configure it for remote access from the managementworkstation connected SwitchA. Which set of commands is required to accomplish this task?A.SwitchB(config)#interface FastEthemet 0/1SwitchB(config)#ip address 192.168.8.252 255.255.255.0SwitchB(config)#no shutdownB.SwitchB(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.8.254SwitchB(config)#interface vlan 1SwitchB(config)#ip address 192.168.8.252 255.255.255.0SwitchB(config)#no shutdownC.SwitchB(config)#interface vlan 1SwitchB(config)#ip address 192.168.8.252 255.255.255.0

For intersubnetwork communication to occur, you must configure at least one defaultgateway. This default gateway is used to foiward traffic originating from the switch only, not toforward traffic sent by devices connected to the switch.Question 3A switch is configured with all ports assigned to vlan 2 with full duplex FastEthemet to segmentexisting departmental traffic. What is the effect of adding switch ports to a new VLAN on theswitch?A. More collision domains will be created.B. IP address utilization will be more efficient.C. More bandwidth will be required than was needed previously.D. An additional broadcast domain will be created.Answer: DQuestion 4Refer to the exhibit. The two connected ports on the switch are not turning orange or green. Whatwould be the most effective steps to troubleshoot this physical layer problem? (Choose three)

It is a layer 2 messaging protocol which maintains vlan configurations across network.B. It includes an 8-bit field which specifies the priority of a frame.C. It is used exclusively for tagging vlan frames and does not address network reconvergencefollowing switched network topology changes.D. It modifies the 802.3 frame header and thus requires that the FCS be recomputed.E. It is a trunking protocol capable of earring untagged frames.Answer:D EExplanationIEEE 802.IQ is the networking standard that supports Virtual LANs (VLANs) on an Ethernetnetwork. It is a protocol that allows VLANs to communicate with one another using a router. 802.1Qtrunks support tagged and untagged frames.If a switch receives untagged frames on a trunk port, it believes that frame is a part of the nativeVLAN. Also, frames from a native VLAN are not tagged when exiting the switch via a trunk port.The 802.Iq frame format is same as 802.3. The only change is the addition of 4 bytes fields. Thatadditional header includes a field with which to identify the VLAN number. Because inserting thisheader changes the frame, 802.IQ encapsulation forces a recalculation of the original FCS field inthe Ethernet trailer.Note: Frame Check Sequence (FCS) is a four-octet field used to verify that the frame was receivedwithout loss or error. FCS is based on the contents of the entire frame.Question 10What are the possible trunking modes for a switch port? (Choose three)

CCNA Basic Questions - Page 55 preview imageCCNA- STPQuestion 1Refer to the topology shown in the exhibit. Which ports will be STP designated ports if all the linksare operating at the same bandwidth? (Choose three)MAC: OfOOdtace.OOOCdefault priorityMAC: OfOd i a f et i l ldetanlt priorityMAC: OlOO.fAre.DDOOdefault priorityA. Switch A - FaO/OB. Switch A - FaO/1C. Switch B - FaO/OD. Switch B - FaO/1E. Switch C - FaO/OF. Switch C - FaO/1Answer: BCDExplanationFirst by comparing their MAC addresses we learn that switch B will be root bridge as it has lowestMAC. Therefore all of its ports are designated ports -> C & D are correct.On the link between switch A & switch C there must have one designated port and one non-designated (blocked) port. We can figure out which port is designated port by comparing their MACaddress again. A has lower MAC so FaO/1 of switch A will be designated port while FaO/1 of switchC will be blocked -> B is correct.Question 2What value is primarily used to determine which port becomes the root port on each non-root switchin a spanning-tree topology?
Page 56 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 56 preview imageA. lowest port MAC addressB. port priority number and MAC address.C. VTP revision numberD. highest port priority number.E. path costAnswer:EExplanationThe path cost to the root bridge is the most important value to determine which port will become theroot port on each non-root switch. In particular, the port with lowest cost to the root bridge willbecome root port (on non-root switch).Question 3What is one benefit of PVST+?A. PVST+ reduces the CPU cycles for all the switches in the network.B. PVST+ automatically selects the root bridge location, to provide optimization.C. PVST+ allows the root switch location to be optimized per vlan.D. PVST+ supports Layer 3 load balancing without loops.Answer: CExplanationPer VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST) maintains a spanning tree instance for each VLAN configured inthe network. It means a switch can be the root bridge of a VLAN while another switch can be theroot bridge of other VLANs in a common topology. For example, Switch 1 can be the root bridge forVoice data while Switch 2 can be the root bridge for Video data. If designed correctly, it canoptimize the network traffic.Question 4Which two protocols are used by bridges and/or switches to prevent loops in a layer 2 network?(Choose two)A. 802.IdB. VTPC. 802. IqD. STPE. SAP

CCNA Basic Questions - Page 57 preview imageAnswer: A DQuestion 5In which circumstance are multiple copies of the same unicast frame likely to be transmitted in aswitched LAN?A. after broken links are re-establishedB. in an improperly implemented redundant topologyC. when upper-layer protocols require high reliabilityD. during high traffic periodsE. when a dual ring topology is in useAnswer: BExplanationIf we connect two switches via 2 or more links and do not enable STP on these switches then a loop(which creates multiple copies of the same unicast frame) will occur. It is an example of animproperly implemented redundant topology.Question 6Refer to the exhibit.A problem with network connectivity has been observed. It is suspected that the cable connected toswitch port FaO/9 on Switch1 is disconnected. What would be an effect of this cable beingdisconnected?A. Host B would not be able to access the server in VLAN9 until the cable is reconnected.B. Communication between VLAN3 and the other VLANs would be disabled.C. The transfer of files from Host B to the server in VLAN9 would be significantly slower.
Page 58 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 58 preview imageD. For less than a minute. Host B would not be able to access the server in VLAN9. Then normalnetwork function would resume.Answer: DQuestion 7Which port state is introduced by Rapid-PVST?A. learningB. listeningC. discardingD. forwardingAnswer: CExplanationPVST+ is based on IEEE802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). But PVST+ has only 3 port states(discarding, learning and forwarding) while STP has 5 port states (blocking, listening, learning,forwarding and disabled). So discarding is a new port state in PVST+.Question 8Refer to the exhibit. Based on the information given, which switch will be elected root bridge andwhy?A. Switch A, because it has the lowest MAC addressB. Switch A, because it is the most centrally located switchC. Switch B, because it has the highest MAC addressD. Switch C, because it is the most centrally located switchE. Switch C, because it has the lowest priorityF. Switch D, because it has the highest priority

Switch3D. Switch4Answer: CExplanationFirst, the question asks what switch services the printers, so it can be Switch 3 or Switch 4 which isconnected directly to the Printers.Next, by comparing the MAC address of Switch 3 and Switch 4 we found that the MAC of Switch 3is smaller. Therefore the interface connected to the Printers of Switch 3 will become designatedinterface and the interface of Switch 4 will be blocked. The picture below shows the roles of allports:

VLAN 20 is running the Per VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol.C. The MAC address of the root bridge is 0017.596d.1580.D. SwitchA is not the root bridge, because not all of the interface roles are designated.Answer: DExplanationOnly non-root bridge can have root port.

All ports will be in a state of discarding, learning or forwarding.B. Thirty VLANs have been configured on this switch.C. The bridge priority is lower than the default value for spanning tree.D. All interfaces that are shown are on shared media.E. All designated ports are in a forwarding state.F. The switch must be the root bridge for all VLANs on this switch.Answer: ACEExplanationFrom the output, we see that all ports are in Designated role (forwarding state) -> A and E arecorrect.The command —show spanningree vlan 30" only shows us information about VLAN 30. We don'tknow how many VLAN exists in this switch -> B is not correct.The bridge priority of this switch is 24606 which is lower than the default value bridge priority32768 -> C is correct.All three interfaces on this switch have the connection type —p2pll, which means Pointto-pointenvironment - not a shared media -> D is not correct.The only thing we can specify is this switch is the root bridge for VLAN 3o but we can not guaranteeit is also the root bridge for other VLANs -> F is not correct.Question 6Which two states are the port states when RSTP has converged? (choose two)

CCNA Basic Questions - Page 66 preview imageA. blockingB. learningC. disabledD. forwardingE. listeningAnswer: A DExplanationRSTP only has 3 port states that are discarding, learning and forwarding. When RSTP has convergedthere are only 2 port states left: discarding and forwarding but the answers don't mention aboutdiscarding state so blocking state (answer A) may be considered the best alternative answer.Question7Which two of these statements regarding RSTP are correct? (Choose two)A. RSTP cannot operate with PVST+.B. RSTP defines new port roles.C. RSTP defines no new port states.D. RSTP is a proprietary implementation of IEEE 802.ID STP.E. RSTP is compatible with the original IEEE 802.ID STP.Answer:B EQuestion 8Refer to the exhibit. Each of these four switches has been configured with a hostname, as well asbeing configured to run RSTP. No other configuration changes have been made. Which three ofthese show the correct RSTP port roles for the indicated switches and interfaces? (Choose three)

SwitchB, GiO/2, rootD. SwitchB, GiO/1, designatedE. SwitchC, FaO/2, rootF. SwitchD, GiO/2, rootAnswer:ABFExplanationThe question says —no other configuration changes have been madell so we can understand theseswitches have the same bridge priority. Switch C has lowest MAC address so it will become rootbridge and 2 of its ports (FaO/1 & FaO/2) will be designated ports -> E is incorrect.Because SwitchC is the root bridge so the 2 ports nearest SwitchC on SwitchA (FaO/1) and SwitchD(GiO/2) will be root ports -> B and F are correct.Now we come to the most difficult part of this question: SwitchB must have a root port so which portwill it choose? To answer this question we need to know about STP cost and port cost.In general, —cost! is calculated based on bandwidth of the link. The higher the bandwidth on a link,the lower the value of its cost. Below are the cost values you should memorize:Link speedCost10Mbps100100Mbps19
Page 68 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 68 preview image1 Gbps4SwitchB will choose the interface with lower cost to the root bridge as the root port so we mustcalculate the cost on interface GiO/1 & GiO/2 of SwitchB to the root bridge. This can be calculatedfrom the —cost to the root bridgell of each switch becausaswitch always advertises its cost to theroot bridgein its BPDU. The receiving switch willadd its local port cost value to the costin theBPDU.In the exhibit you also we FastEthemet port is connecting to GigabitEthemet port. In this caseGigabitEthemet port will operate as a FastEthemet port so the link can be considered as FastEthemetto FastEthemet connection.One more thing to notice is that a root bridge always advertises the cost to the root bridge (itself)with an initial value of 0.Now let's have a look at the topology againr I can reach Root via+ GiO/1: cost 23+ Gi(N2: costae.■SwitchBQiP/1 is better!.MAC Address0013.80d7.d580iMy cost to th#SwitchAI root bridge is 19MAC Addres00 13.8039.9500SwitchCMAC Address. 013.3030.5eB0SwrtchDMAC Address00 13 80c 7 9700SwitchC advertises its cost to the root bridge with a value of 0. Switch D adds 19 (the cost value of100Mbps link although the port on Switch D is GigabitEthemet port) and advertises this value (19)to SwitchB. SwitchB adds 4 (the cost value of IGbps link) and leams that it can reach SwitchC viaGiO/1 port with a total cost of 23. The same process happens for SwitchA and SwitchB leams that itcan reach SwitchC via GiO/2 with a total cost of 38 -> Switch B chooses GiO/1 as its root port -> D isnot correct.Now our last task is to identify the port roles of the ports between SwitchA & SwitchB. It is rathereasy as the MAC address of SwitchA is lower than that of SwitchB so FaO/2 of SwitchA will bedesignated port while GiO/2 of SwitchB will be alternative port -> A is correct but C is not correct.Below summaries all the port roles of these switches:

Page 70 of 78
CCNA Basic Questions - Page 70 preview imageAnswer: CExplanationIn this question, we only care about the Access Layer switches (Switch3 & 4). Switch 3 has a lowerbridge ID than Switch 4 (because the MAC of Switch3 is smaller than that of Switch4) so both portsof Switch3 will be in forwarding state. The alternative port will surely belong to Switch4.Switch4 will need to block one of its ports to avoid a bridging loop between the two switches. Buthow does Switch4 select its blocked port? Well, the answer is based on the BPDUs it receives fromSwitch3. A BPDU is superior than another if it has:1. A lower Root Bridge ID2. A lower path cost to the Root3. A lower Sending Bridge ID4. A lower Sending Port IDThese four parameters are examined in order. In this specific case, all the BPDUs sent by Sswitch3have the same Root Bridge ID, the same path cost to the Root and the same Sending Bridge ID. Theonly parameter left to select the best one is the Sending Port ID (Port ID = port priority + port index).Tn this case the port priorities are equal because they use the default value, so Switch4 will compareport index values, which are unique to each port on the switch, and because FaO/12 is inferior toFaO/1, Switch4 will select the port connected with FaO/1 (of Switch3) as its root port and block theother port -> Port faO/11 of Switch4 will be blocked (discarding role).If you are still not sure about this question, please read my RSTP tutorial.CCNA - Access list QuestionsNote: If you are not sure about Access list, please read our Access List Tutorial.Question 1Which item represents the standard IP ACL?A. access-list 50 deny 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.255B. access-list 110 permit ip any anyC. access-list 2500 deny tcp any host 192.168.1.1 eq 22D. access-list 101 deny tcp any host 192.168.1.1Answer:AExplanationThe standard access lists are ranged from 1 to 99 and from 1300 to 1999 so only access list 50 is astandard access list.
