Welcome! Here are the answers to yesterday's Cisco and CompTIA practice questions!

CCNA Certification:

Short answer: Two OSPF routers connected via an Ethernet segment are exchanging Hello packets. What will the default dead time be for this adjacency?

Answer: The default dead time will be 40 seconds (4x the hello time, which is 10 seconds on a broadcast network).


A+ / Network+ Certification Combination Question:

Which of the following devices would you expect to see at the center of a star topology?

A. router

B. switch

C. PC

D. hub

Answers: B, D. Switches and hubs can function as the center of a star.


CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

Identify the true statements regarding route maps.

A. The sequence number increments by 10 by default.

B. The sequence number increments by 20 by default.

C. If you don't specify "permit" or "deny" in a route map clause, it's considered a "permit".

D. If you don't specify "permit" or "deny" in a route map clause, it's considered a "deny".

Answers: A, C.

Remembering that the sequence number increments by 10 is easy; it's the other part that's a little tough. You must keep in mind that if you do not specify "permit" or "deny" in a route-map statement, it is considered a permit statement. In the route map below, neither a "permit" or "deny" was specified, nor was a route map number, but the command show route-map displays this as a permit clause with a sequence number of 10.

R1(config)#route-map BSCIPASS
R1(config-route-map)#match ip address 17
R1(config-route-map)#set ip next-hop 100.1.1.3

R1#show route-map
route-map BSCIPASS, permit, sequence 10
Match clauses: ip address (access-lists): 17
Set clauses: ip next-hop 100.1.1.3


CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

The MAC address 00-00-5e-00-11-aa is used by what protocol or service?

A. VRRP

B. HSRP

C. GLBP

D. SLB

Answer: A. Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol routers use the MAC address 00-00-5e-00--11-xx, with the "xx" indicating the group number as a hexadecimal value. In this case, the group number is 170 (10 units of 16, 10 units of 1).

We just can't get away from hex conversions, can we? :) I wouldn't be surprised to see one show up in your CCIE lab!

See you later today with more questions and answers, and some new tutorials, too!

To your certification exam success,
