The CNAME (Canonical Name) record in DNS is used to point a domain to a physical IP address.
Which OSI layer handles the routing of packets across different networks?
- Data Link Layer
- Network Layer

What does GRE stand for in the context of network tunneling?
- Generic Routing Encapsulation
- General Resource Encryption
- Graphical Routing Environment
- Global Reachability Extension
GRE stands for Generic Routing Encapsulation in the context of network tunneling.
In _______ topology, data is transmitted in one direction only, making it less prone to data collision.
- Bus
- Point-to-Point
- Ring
- Star
In Point-to-Point topology, data is transmitted in one direction only, making it less prone to data collision. This is suitable for dedicated communication between two devices.
In SDN, what term describes the process of making decisions about where traffic is sent in the network?
- Network Virtualization
- OpenFlow
- SDN Controller
- Traffic Engineering
In SDN, the process of making decisions about where traffic is sent in the network is handled by the SDN Controller.
How does EIGRP handle load balancing over unequal cost paths?
- Achieves load balancing by always selecting the path with the lowest reported distance.
- Employs a round-robin approach for load balancing over unequal cost paths.
- Supports load balancing only on paths with equal costs, and unequal-cost paths are ignored.
- Utilizes equal-cost load balancing by default, and unequal-cost load balancing can be achieved using the "variance" command.
EIGRP can perform equal-cost load balancing by default and allows unequal-cost load balancing through the use of the "variance" command.
