Describe the function of a Traffic Policer in a QoS environment.

  • A Traffic Policer monitors incoming traffic, enforces traffic policies, and takes actions such as dropping or marking packets based on predefined rules.
  • Traffic Policers are responsible for shaping outbound traffic to conform to specified profiles.
  • Traffic Policers are used to prioritize outbound traffic based on application requirements.
  • A Traffic Policer ensures that only specific types of traffic are allowed in the network, blocking all other traffic.
In a QoS environment, a Traffic Policer monitors incoming traffic, enforces traffic policies, and takes actions such as dropping or marking packets based on predefined rules.

________ is a feature of IPv6 that allows multiple IP addresses to be assigned to a single network interface.

  • Anycast
  • DHCPv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6)
  • Multicast
  • Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
Stateless Address Autoconfiguration is a feature of IPv6 that allows multiple IP addresses to be assigned to a single network interface without the need for a DHCPv6 server.

In a network implementing both Port Security and VLANs, how does Port Security interact with different VLANs assigned to a single port?

  • It applies the same security settings to all VLANs
  • It causes VLAN mismatch errors
  • It enforces security independently for each VLAN
  • It ignores VLAN information
Port Security enforces security independently for each VLAN on a port, ensuring that security policies are applied appropriately to each VLAN.

What device operates primarily at the physical layer and helps in connecting multiple devices in a network by broadcasting data to all ports?

  • Bridge
  • Hub
  • Router
  • Switch
A hub operates primarily at the physical layer and connects multiple devices in a network by broadcasting data to all ports.

In IPv6, ________ addresses are used to send packets to a group of interfaces.

  • Anycast
  • Broadcast
  • Multicast
  • Unicast
In IPv6, multicast addresses are used to send packets to a group of interfaces. Multicast enables efficient communication to multiple hosts.

In terms of device monitoring, what is the main function of a Syslog server?

  • Backs up device configurations
  • Encrypts network traffic
  • Provides real-time alerts and logs
  • Manages IP addressing
A Syslog server's main function in device monitoring is to provide real-time alerts and logs, offering insights into the health and activities of network devices.

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.

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.

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.

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.

________ 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.

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.
