In a scenario where an organization has a limited number of IP addresses but requires several small networks, how should the subnetting be designed?
- Classful Subnetting
- Classless Subnetting
- Supernetting
- Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM)
Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM) is the appropriate subnetting technique for designing subnets of various sizes, conserving IP addresses for small networks.
EtherChannel can be implemented using either _______ or _______ as the control protocol.
- LACP
- PAgP
- STP
- VTP
EtherChannel can be implemented using either PAgP (Port Aggregation Protocol) or LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) as the control protocol.
What type of NAT maps multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address using different ports?
- Dynamic NAT
- NAPT (Network Address Port Translation)
- PAT (Port Address Translation)
- Static NAT
PAT (Port Address Translation) maps multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address using different ports for differentiation.
________ is a Cisco protocol that ensures high availability by providing a single virtual IP address and multiple gateways for load balancing.
- HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol)
- OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
- VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol)
- GLBP (Gateway Load Balancing Protocol)
GLBP (Gateway Load Balancing Protocol) is a Cisco protocol that ensures high availability by providing a single virtual IP address and multiple gateways for load balancing.
_________ in cloud computing refers to the distribution of network resources to ensure optimal balance and performance.
- Load Balancing
- Scalability
- Virtualization
- Redundancy
Load balancing in cloud computing involves distributing network resources to ensure optimal balance and performance.
In configuring a network that supports both IPv4 and IPv6, what is a key consideration for ensuring seamless communication between different IP version hosts?
- Dual-Stack Configuration
- Port Forwarding
- Tunneling
- VLAN Configuration
Tunneling is a key consideration for ensuring seamless communication between different IP version hosts in a network supporting both IPv4 and IPv6. Tunneling encapsulates IPv6 packets within IPv4 packets for transmission.
Which feature in switch configuration allows for assigning multiple ports to a single broadcast domain?
- Port mirroring
- STP
- Trunking
- VLAN
Virtual LANs (VLANs) in switch configuration allow for assigning multiple ports to a single broadcast domain, improving network segmentation and management.
A network administrator must design a QoS policy that dynamically adjusts priorities based on network load. Which advanced QoS feature should they consider?
- Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ)
- Low Latency Queuing (LLQ)
- Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED)
- AutoQoS
AutoQoS is an advanced QoS feature that dynamically adjusts priorities based on network load, providing an automated approach to QoS policy design.
For a business requiring remote access to servers in its private network from the internet, what NAT feature would be most appropriate to set up?
- Dynamic NAT
- PAT
- Port Forwarding
- Static NAT
Port Forwarding would be the most appropriate NAT feature for allowing remote access to servers in a private network from the internet, forwarding specific ports to internal servers.
What is a key advantage of using chassis aggregation in terms of network management?
- Faster data transfer
- Improved scalability
- Lower cost
- Reduced power consumption
Chassis aggregation provides improved scalability in terms of adding more ports or capacity, enhancing network management capabilities.
