CCNA 1 v5 Answers - Practice Final Exam Version 5.0 / Routing and Switching Introduction to Networks v5.0 Answers

1. A network administrator has been issued a network address of 192.31.7.64/26. How many subnets of equal size could be created from the assigned /26 network by using a /28 prefix?
4

Remember:
A /26 prefix requires the first 2 bits of the last octet for the network portion. The last octet of the assigned network address (64) is 0100 0000 with the first 2 bits reserved for the network portion. Our beginning values go from 192.31.7.64 through to 192.31.7.127. If we now further subdivide that range using a /28 prefix, we need to borrow 2 more bits. Remember that to remain within the .64 to .127 range, the first two bits MUST remain as 01. Because we have only 2 more bits to work with, there are only 4 different combinations.
192.31.7.64 – 0100 0000
192.31.7.80 – 0101 0000
192.31.7.96 – 0110 00000
192.31.7.112 – 0111 00000
Notice that the subnets increment by 16.

Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is testing connectivity to a remote device with the IP address 10.1.1.1. What does the output of this command indicate

A router along the path did not have a route to the destination.
Remember:
In the output of the ping command, an exclamation mark (!) indicates a response was successfully received, a period (.) indicates that the connection timed out while waiting for a reply, and the letter “U” indicates that a router along the path did not have a route to the destination and sent an ICMP destination unreachable message back to the source.

23.Fill in the blank using a number.

Remember:
Ethernet II and IEEE 802.3 standards define the minimum frame as 64 bytes and the maximum as 1518 bytes.

27.A small satellite office has been given the overall network number of 192.168.99.0/24 and the network technician can subdivide the network addresses as needed. The office needs network access for both wired and wireless devices. However, because of the security consideration, these two networks should be separate. The wired network will have 20 devices. The wireless network has a potential connection of 45 devices. Which addressing scheme would be most efficient for these two networks?
192.168.99.0/26
192.168.99.64/27

Remember:
Always calculate the biggest number of host devices first. To accommodate 45 devices, 6 host bits must be left because 26 = 64 (but two addresses cannot be used). The network number for the 45-device network is 192.168.99.0/26. The broadcast address is 192.168.99.63. Keep in mind that addresses 192.168.99.1 through 192.168.99.62 are for devices. The next network number is 192.168.99.64 for the 20-device wired network. To accommodate 20 devices, 5 bits must be left for host bits because 25 = 32 (but two addresses cannot be used. The mask would be /27 or 255.255.255.224.

synchronizing sequence numbers between source and destination in preparation for data transfer

35.Which two statements are correct in a comparison of IPv4 and IPv6 packet headers? (Choose two.)
1. The Source Address field name from IPv4 is kept in IPv6.
2. The Time-to-Live field from IPv4 has been replaced by the Hop Limit field in IPv6.

Remember:The IPv6 packet header fields are as follows: Version, Traffic Class, Flow Label, Payload Length, Next Header, Hop Limit, Source Address, and Destination Address. The IPv4 packet header fields include the following: Version, Differentiated Services, Time-to-Live, Protocol, Source IP Address, and Destination IP Address. Both versions have a 4-bit Version field. Both versions have a Source (IP) Address field. IPv4 addresses are 32 bits; IPv6 addresses are 128 bits. The Time-to-Live or TTL field in IPv4 is now called Hop Limit in IPv6, but this field serves the same purpose in both versions. The value in this 8-bit field decrements each time a packet passes through any router. When this value is 0, the packet is discarded and is not forwarded to any other router.

36.Match each description with the appropriate type of threat
Electrical threats: brownouts
Hardware threat: physical damage to routers
Maintenance threat: poor cabling of the network infrastructure

37.Fill in the blank.
