The tracert command is used to initiate a trace from the command prompt on a Windows PC. The traceroute command is used to
initiate a trace from a Cisco router or switch. Some other PC operating systems, such as Linux and Mac OS also use the traceroute
command. The ping command does not display the network path to the remote host.
Because worms take advantage of vulnerabilities in the system itself, the most effective way to mitigate worm attacks is to download
security updates from the operating system vendor and patch all vulnerable systems.
7. Which element of scaling a network involves identifying the physical and logical topologies?
traffic analysis
network documentation
device inventory
cost analysis
Explanation:
8. Which protocol is used by the traceroute command to send and receive echo-requests and echo-
replies?
SNMP
ICMP
Telnet
TCP
Explanation:
Traceroute uses the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) to send and receive echo-request and echo-reply messages.
9. A small
company has only one router as the exit point to its ISP. Which solution could be adopted to
maintain connectivity if the router itself, or its connection to the ISP, fails?
Activate another router interface that is connected to the ISP, so the traffic can flow through it.
Have a second router that is connected to another ISP.
Purchase a second least-cost link from another ISP to connect to this router.
Add more interfaces to the router that is connected to the internal network.
Explanation:
Small networks generally have only one link to an ISP to establish a connection to the Internet. Problems can occur in the network,
which can cause the disruption of this service. In order to keep connectivity, redundancy has to be provided. If the problem is in the
router interface that is connected to the ISP, another interface can be activated on the router, so if one interface fails, traffic may be
redirected toward the other interface. However, if the router itself fails, a second router that is connected to another ISP can be used
as a backup.
10. Onwhich two interfaces or ports can security be improved by configuring executive timeouts?
(Choose two.)
Fast Ethernet interfaces
console ports
serial interfaces
vty ports
loopback interfaces
Explanation:
Executive timeouts allow the Cisco device to automatically disconnect users after they have been idle for the specified time.
Console, vty, and aux ports can be configured with executive timeouts.
11. What is one of the most effective security tools available for protecting users from external threats?
firewalls
router that run AAA services
patch servers
password encryption techniques
Explanation:
A firewall is one of the most effective security tools for protecting internal network users from external threats. A firewall resides
between two or more networks, controls the traffic between them, and helps prevent unauthorized access. A host intrusion
prevention system can help prevent outside intruders and should be used on all systems.
12. Referto the exhibit. The exhibited configuration is entered by a network administrator into a new
router. Sometime later a network technician proceeds to log in to the router via a console connection.
The technician enters techadmin as the user name and tries a password of 63t0ut0fh3r3!. What will
be the result of this action?

Whenever an administrator connects to the console port, the configuration applied under the line con 0 interface determines how
the user is authenticated. The console port configuration has the login command with local as the keyword. That means the
username and password are required before the administrator is even allowed to see the enable mode prompt. Because the
correct username and password was typed, the administrator will be presented with the enable mode prompt.
13. How should traffic flow be captured in order to best understand traffic patterns in a network?
during low utilization times
during peak utilization times
when it is on the main network segment only
when it is from a subset of users
Explanation:
Capturing traffic during low utilization time will not give a good representation of the different traffic types. Because some traffic
could be local to a particular segment, the capture must be done on different network segments.
14. Whichprocess failed if a computer cannot access the Internet and received an IP address of
169.254.142.5?
IP
DNS
DHCP
HTTP
Explanation:
When a Windows computer cannot communicate with an IPv4 DHCP server, the computer automatically assigns itself an IP
address in the169.254.0.0/16 range. Linux and Apple computers do not automatically assign an IP address.
15. An administrator wants to back up a router configuration file to a USB drive that is connected to the
router. Which command should the administrator use to verify that the USB drive is being recognized
by the router?
pwd
cd USB
dir flash0:
show file systems
Explanation:
The show file systems command displays all of the available file systems on the device. If usbflash0: appears then the router
recognizes the USB drive as a valid storage device. The pwd command shows the current directory being navigated, and the cd
command is used to change the current directory. The dir flash0: command will show the contents of flash memory, not the USB
drive.
Each application or network service uses protocols, which define the standards and data formats to be used. Without protocols, the
data network would not have a common way to format and direct data.
17. What type of traffic would most likely have the highest priority through the network?
FTP
instant messaging
voice
SNMP
Explanation:
Not all traffic should receive the same treatment or priority through a network. Some types of traffic, such as voice and video,
require the highest priority because they are very sensitive to network latency and delay. Other types of traffic, such as FTP, which is
not sensitive to latency and delay, should be given the lowest level of priority so that the higher priority traffic can get through.
