CCNP Practice Test 1

You need to connect to a new router on the company network. You're performing the initial configuration and at present, the router does not have a method for secure remote login configured. Which protocol and port combination would you employ assuming you are using its default port?

Which of the following are examples of a packet-switched network connection, as opposed to a circuit-switched network connection? (Choose all correct answers.)

Your supervisor has given you a Class C network IP address and has asked you to create a network with 8 subnets and 30 hosts per subnet. Which of the following subnet masks will you have to use?

You are setting up a new network for which you have been given the IPv4 network address 10.61.0.0/19. You want to calculate the number of hosts you can create on each subnet. How many bits are allocated to the host identifier in an IPv4 address on this network?

The term datagram is typically used by protocols offering connectionless delivery service. Which of the following protocols use(s) the term datagram to describe the data transfer unit it creates? (Choose all correct answers.)

You have been given a Class B network IP address with which to configure the new network you are designing. Which of the following is the default subnet mask you should use for an IPv4 Class B network?

Some networks are designed with a switching fabric that contains redundant paths, for fault tolerance purposes. However, in this type of design, it is possible for packets to circulate endlessly around the network, which is called a switching loop. Which of the following protocols prevents network switching loops from occurring by shutting down redundant links until they are needed?

You are designing an Ethernet network for your company's newest branch office. Your current task is to decide which Ethernet specification to use for the network, a decision that you know will determine what type of cabling you need to purchase and the topology with which the cable will be installed. Which layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model apply to the cabling and topology elements of a network?

You are installing Ethernet network equipment that is capable of functioning at 10 Gbps. The ports in question are set to function with auto-negotiation. You connect two switches together with a CAT 6 cable of 70 meters in length, but you notice that they are synchronizing at speeds of 1000 Mbps. Which of the following could be the reason for this?

Which of the following is considered a service provided by the presentation layer of the OSI model?
