Here are the answers to Thursday's Cisco certification exam practice questions!

CCNA Certification:

Host A and Host B are in the same VLAN. Host C and Host D are in a different VLAN. Host A sends a broadcast. How many other hosts will receive it?

A. Zero

B. One

C. Two

D. Three

Answer: B. The other host in the same VLAN, Host B, will receive it. Broadcasts are not forwarded to other VLANs.


CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

If an IPv6 address begins with "FF", what type of address is it?

A. broadcast

B. unicast

C. multicast

D. MACcast

Answer: C. That's a multicast. There's no such thing as a MACcast. But there should be. ;)


CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

Short answer: What interface-level command takes a port operating at L3 and places it into L2 operating mode?

Answer: switchport. To change the port back to a routed port, use no switchport.


CCNP Certification / ISCW Exam:

Short answer: You're going to write a policy map that will be applied to a Serial interface running at T1 speed. By default, how much bandwidth can you assign in that policy?

Answer: The speed of a T1 line is 1544 kbps, but by default only 75% of that bandwidth can be distributed in a policy map - that's 1158 kbps (1544 * .75).


New questions and a new BCMSN tutorial will be posted later today!
