In IPv6, what is the primary role of the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)?
- Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) replacement
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) functionality
- Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) replacement
- Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for IPv6
The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) in IPv6 serves as a replacement for the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) in IPv4, facilitating address resolution in the network.
What type of topology combines characteristics of linear bus and star topologies, and is commonly used in wireless networks?
- Bus
- Mesh
- Ring
- Star
A bus topology combines characteristics of linear bus and star topologies and is commonly used in wireless networks.
In a network using NAT, what happens to the IP address of a packet as it leaves the local network and enters the internet?
- It is encrypted
- It is translated to a private IP address
- It is translated to a public IP address
- It remains the same
In a network using NAT, the private IP address of a packet is translated to a public IP address as it leaves the local network and enters the internet.
A network administrator needs to ensure secure remote access to network devices for configuration and troubleshooting. What protocol or method would be most appropriate?
- Telnet
- SSH (Secure Shell)
- HTTP
- SNMPv1
Secure Shell (SSH) is the appropriate protocol for secure remote access to network devices for configuration and troubleshooting, providing encrypted communication.
Which routing protocol uses a hop count as its primary metric for route selection?
- BGP
- EIGRP
- OSPF
- RIP
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) uses hop count as its primary metric for route selection.
________ access lists are typically applied closest to the source of the traffic in network configurations.
- Inbound
- Outbound
- Extended
- Standard
Outbound access lists are typically applied closest to the source of the traffic in network configurations.
How does QoS benefit VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) applications in a congested network?
- Prioritizing VoIP packets
- Increasing network bandwidth
- Encrypting VoIP data
- Implementing VLANs
QoS benefits VoIP applications in a congested network by prioritizing VoIP packets, ensuring timely delivery and maintaining call quality.
A small business with a very limited IT budget and a stable network setup needs to decide on a routing strategy. Which method would be most appropriate?
- Default Routing
- Dynamic Routing
- Policy-Based Routing
- Static Routing
Static Routing is suitable for a small business with limited resources and a stable network, as it is simple and doesn't require constant updates.
In OSPF, the ______ area is used to optimize and control the routing update traffic between areas.
- Backbone
- Stub
- Transit
- Virtual-Link
In OSPF, the Transit area is used to optimize and control the routing update traffic between areas.
In designing a network with a focus on security and efficient routing, which IP version's features would be most beneficial?
- IPX
- IPv4
- IPv5
- IPv6
IPv6 incorporates features that enhance security and efficient routing, making it beneficial for networks with these design considerations.
