________ technology is vital for monitoring network performance by continuously measuring traffic and bandwidth usage on network links.
- QoS (Quality of Service)
- MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching)
- NetFlow
- OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
NetFlow technology is vital for monitoring network performance by continuously measuring traffic and bandwidth usage on network links.
Which cloud computing deployment model is exclusively operated for a specific organization, either managed internally or by a third-party?
- Public Cloud
- Private Cloud
- Hybrid Cloud
- Community Cloud
A private cloud deployment model is exclusively operated for a specific organization, either managed internally or by a third party.
In the context of routing, what does the term 'redistribution' refer to?
- Encrypting routing information
- Load balancing traffic
- Prioritizing certain routes
- Sharing routes between different routing protocols
Redistribution in routing refers to the process of sharing routes between different routing protocols, allowing them to exchange routing information.
________ is a protocol used by switches to automatically adjust port settings for optimal speed and duplex mode.
- CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol)
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
- PAgP (Port Aggregation Protocol)
- STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is a protocol used by switches to automatically adjust port settings for optimal speed and duplex mode.
Which protocol is commonly used to negotiate EtherChannel links between Cisco switches?
- CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol)
- OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
- PAgP (Port Aggregation Protocol)
- STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)
PAgP (Port Aggregation Protocol) is commonly used to negotiate EtherChannel links between Cisco switches.
How does chassis aggregation differ from traditional switch stacking?
- Both physical and logical connections
- Logical connection
- No connection
- Physical connection
Chassis aggregation involves both physical and logical connections between switches, whereas traditional switch stacking primarily uses a physical connection.
For high-speed data transmission over long distances, which type of cable is most appropriate?
- Coaxial
- Ethernet
- Fiber Optic
- Twisted Pair
Fiber optic cables are most appropriate for high-speed data transmission over long distances due to their high bandwidth and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
What is the primary purpose of NAT (Network Address Translation) in a home or small office network?
- Conserving public IP addresses
- Enhancing network security
- Improving wireless connectivity
- Increasing network speed
The primary purpose of NAT is to conserve public IP addresses by allowing multiple devices in a private network to share a single public IP address.
SDN helps in separating which two key functions of traditional networking for more efficient network management?
- Data and control planes
- Physical and logical planes
- Switching and routing
- LAN and WAN
SDN separates the data and control planes, allowing centralized control for more efficient network management.
Syslog uses what protocol for transmitting log messages in a plain text format?
- TCP
- UDP
- ICMP
- IP
Syslog uses the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) for transmitting log messages in a plain text format.
