An enterprise requires a high-throughput, reliable connection for transmitting large files over a WAN. Which protocol configuration would best meet this requirement?

  • TCP
  • UDP
  • IPsec
  • MPLS
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) would be the best choice for transmitting large files over a WAN, as it ensures a reliable, connection-oriented communication with error checking and retransmission.

A router is used to route traffic between different VLANs, allowing communication between them.

What is route summarization primarily used for in networking?

  • Allocating IP addresses
  • Encrypting data in transit
  • Load balancing traffic
  • Minimizing the size of routing tables
Route summarization is primarily used to minimize the size of routing tables by representing a range of IP addresses with a single summary route.

What specific technology is typically used to facilitate switch stacking?

  • EtherChannel
  • HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol)
  • Stackwise
  • VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol)
Switch stacking is facilitated by technologies like Cisco Stackwise, which allows multiple switches to operate as a single logical unit.

Which BGP attribute is used to define the preferred path in the absence of other decision factors?

  • AS_PATH
  • LOCAL_PREF
  • NEXT_HOP
  • WEIGHT
The LOCAL_PREF attribute in BGP is used to define the preferred path in the absence of other decision factors.

What advanced feature differentiates a managed switch from an unmanaged switch in network configurations?

  • Port Mirroring
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE)
  • Quality of Service (QoS)
  • VLAN Support
VLAN support is an advanced feature that distinguishes a managed switch from an unmanaged switch, allowing for efficient network segmentation.

How does IPv6 handle packet fragmentation compared to IPv4?

  • IPv6 does not support packet fragmentation
  • IPv6 fragmentation is handled by specialized fragmentation servers
  • IPv6 relies on end-hosts to perform packet fragmentation
  • IPv6 routers perform packet fragmentation
Unlike IPv4, IPv6 routers do not perform packet fragmentation. Instead, it relies on end-hosts to handle packet fragmentation as needed.

Which PPP component is responsible for establishing, configuring, and testing the data-link connection?

  • LCP (Link Control Protocol)
  • NCP (Network Control Protocol)
  • HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control)
  • IPCP (Internet Protocol Control Protocol)
