Here are the answers to your free Cisco and CompTIA certification exam practice questions for Tuesday, January 21!
CCNA / CCENT / Network+ Certification:
Convert the binary string 10101010 into a hex value.
Answer: In decimal, that string equals 170; that's AA (or aa, case does not matter).
Security+ Certification:
What kind of traffic is generally used in a Smurf Attack?
Answer: ICMP Echo packets - the ones sent by pings.
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
In the BGP best-path selection process, what is the first attribute a Cisco router examines?
Answer: The Cisco-proprietary attribute weight is the first attribute considered.
CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:
On a Cisco L3 switch, what command converts a routing port to a switching port?
Answer: The command is switchport. To change a port from switching to routing, run no switchport.
CCNP Certification / ISCW Exam:
Basically, what is a "demilitarized zone"?
Answer: A DMZ is the area between a company's private network ("inside network") and the outside world. Packets going from the inside network to the DMZ and from the DMZ to external networks are generally examined by security devices.
I wanted to call it the Twilight Zone, but Cisco's not returning my calls on that one. :)
CCNP Certification / ONT Exam:
Name three major differences between WEP and WPA.
Answer: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) offers static keys, an easily hacked authentication setup, and is not considered a scalable solution.
Sounds promising, right? That's why WPA is a much more attractive solution. WPA uses dynamic keys, isn't easily hacked, and is highly scalable.
