CCNA Practice Test 3

You have been tasked with implementing an Ether Channel solution for a new small business network environment. The requirements include supporting a larger bandwidth path that avoids switch loops, operating in a mixed vendor environment, be able to aggregate non Cisco switches back to the headquarters location, be dynamic in nature, and always be unconditionally active. What EtherChannel solution will you deploy?

Consider a scenario where you have been tasked with configuring 8 access points that will be integrated into an enterprise network. The access points require configuration of 802.1x security, power control, dynamic channel assignment, and radius authentication. What will you use to configure the access points and what protocol will be used for management?

A team has been asked to setup and configure Simple Network Management Protocol on a group of local Cisco devices to help with managing and monitoring thier Cisco devices. However, the team had not used SNMP before and wants to use the minimum amount of resources but still needs to ensure they meet compliancy and business requirements. As the only one who knows about SNMP they have asked you to summarize the different versions. Which description best lays out the differences between the SNMP versions?

A small business has decided to switch from wired networking to simply using wireless for their 5 employees. You have been hired to guide them with the planning of their Wi-Fi implementation. They would like to give employees the opportunity to get near gigabit speeds although most will not need it except when transferring the odd file from employee to employee. Their employees are also not very technical so they want an easy way to identify the network when employees are using it. They want to protect the data that transfer over the network with encryption. However, with so few employees they don't really have infrastructure beyond having common passwords they share already. They have no interest in purchasing advanced encryption or security hardware or software beyond what would built into a wireless device itself. What recommendation would work best for this small business in terms of their SSID, Encryption, and IEEE standard?

You have been asked to setup a network for a small business with nine systems for personnel that work there. The business has a Cisco router and the ISP has assigned a single static internet routable IP address. What type of network address translation should you configure so that all the personnel could use the internet at the same time?

A junior network engineer has been tasked with tracking down issues that a lot of employees are having with their wireless devices. The devices are disconnecting and not reconnecting or failing to connect to the network or resources when they move from the back offices to the conference rooms in the front of the building. They are trying to figure out where they should start debugging the issue but are stumped and thus have come to you. This is a very large network with many management layers and hardware devices supporting hundreds of wireless devices. Which network components would you suggest they start with to investigate this issue?

A junior network administrator is doing some traffic analysis on a medium sized network. They are trying to figure out which traffic they can ignore as they try to focus on problem areas. They come to you asking about link-local scope multicast IPv6 addresses since they know multicast is not the problem and want to filter them out. What could you suggest to the network administrator to help them with filtering out Ipv6 multicast packets?

You have been hired to help a medium sized business switch from IPv4 to IPv6 on their internal network. All the networking devices are Cisco devices and the default gateway is 2001:c0:a8:10::3 How is the route command for IPv6 different from IPv4 for setting the default route?

A junior administrator is writing up a document to describe ways in which the network can be hardened to protect against security threats. They have come to you asking you for a term to describe what risk the use of default passwords and default configuration on devices could represent. What terminology describes the risk from using default configurations or default passwords?

You have been brought in to help a small business deal with an intermittent problem they are having with their network. They use the First Hop Redundancy protocol HSRP on two devices where one has the IP 192.168.1.1 and the other is 192.168.1.2. Both devices are configured and work; however, whenever the Cisco device with the 192.168.1.1 address is disconnected everyone’s Internet access stops. You have checked a couple client systems and the IP for the gateway is set to 192.168.1.1. What is the most likely cause for this failure?
