Here are the answers to Monday's CompTIA and Cisco certification exam practice questions!
CCNA / Network+ Combination Question:
A device boots up, and does not have an IP address assigned to it. Which of the following two protocols will assign an IP address to such a device?
A. ARP
B. RARP
C. IARP
D. DNS
E. DHCP
F. ISIS
Answers: B, E. Both Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) and Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) can perform this, but you'll see much more of DHCP in today's networks than RARP.
A+ Essentials / Network + Certification Question:
Short answer: At which layer of the OSI model should network troubleshooting generally begin?
Answer: The best place to start troubleshooting is the Physical layer of the OSI model. Don't look for complicated solutions to a problem until you know everything's correctly connected!
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
Short answer: There are five possible paths from your local router to a remote network in your EIGRP router. The metrics are 1000, 2000, 3000, 3700, and 4500. The variance command is set at its default value. How many paths will be used?
Answer: Only one. The default setting for variance is 1, which means that unequal-cost load sharing is off by default.
CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:
Which of the following is true of the "collapsed core" design?
A. There is no dedicated core switch.
B. There is no dedicated distribution-layer switch.
C. There is no dedicated access-layer switch.
D. All three layers are contained on a single switch.
A "collapsed core" design has switches share the role of distribution- and core-layer switches. There are still dedicated access-layer switches.
I'll see you later today with more free Cisco and CompTIA questions - and don't forget, I've got more free questions and over 200 tutorials on the website, all accessible from this page:
