Here are the answers to Thursday, September 4's Cisco practice exam questions!

CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:

You're configuring a point-to-point connection between a non-Cisco router and a Cisco router. Which of the following combinations of PTP protocols will function correctly on this combination?

A. Use HDLC on both routers.

B. Use PPP on both routers.

C. Use HDLC on the Cisco router and PPP on the non-Cisco router.

D. Use PPP on the Cisco router and HDLC on the non-Cisco router.

Answer: B. The HDLC version used by Cisco routers is Cisco-proprietary, so we have to use PPP. If you mix encapsulation types, the line protocol will go down and stay there.

CCNA Voice:

What service can redirect a VOIP call to the PSTN when CallManager determines that there is not enough bandwidth available for a high-quality VOIP call?

Answer: When CallManager decides that there isn't enough bandwidth for a high-quality call, Automated Alternate Routing (AAR) can step in and make the call. AAR can actually reroute the call to the PSTN without user intervention - in fact, the user doesn't even have to hang up!

CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

Short answer: What multicast addressing range is commonly called the "local network control block"?

Answer: The 224.0.0.0 - 224.0.0.255 range is reserved for network protocols. Packets in this range will not be forwarded by routers, so these packets cannot leave the local segment. This block of addresses is the local network control block.

CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

What command resulted in the following output?

R1# ?

*Apr 9 20:15:10.542: HSRP: Fa0/0 API MAC address update
*Apr 9 20:15:10.546: HSRP: Fa0/0 API Software interface coming up
*Apr 9 20:15:10.550: HSRP: Fa0/0 API Add active HSRP addresses to ARP table
*Apr 9 20:15:10.554: HSRP: Fa0/0 API Add active HSRP addresses to ARP table

Answer: That's the debug of HSRP - the command is debug standby.

CCNP / ONT Exam:

Answer: It's simply driving around and looking for a WiFi hotspot to connect to, whether that hotspot be intentional or an unprotected home network.
