John is setting up a network for his small business. He wants to ensure that data packets are sent efficiently to their destinations. Which of the following is the primary function of the routing table John should configure?
To filter packets based on IP addresses
To store encryption keys for VPN tunnels
To determine the best path for packet forwarding
To log ARP requests for troubleshooting
Which entries can be found in a routing table? (Select TWO)
Directly connected routes
DNS root hints
Remote routes
Firewall policies
What metric does the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) use to determine the best path?
Bandwidth
Hop count
Delay
Reliability
Which routing protocol is proprietary to Cisco and uses bandwidth, delay, load, and reliability as metrics?
RIP
EIGRP
OSPF
BGP
Which dynamic routing protocol is most commonly used for exchanging routing information between autonomous systems on the Internet?
RIP
OSPF
EIGRP
BGP
Which of the following are characteristics of static routing? (Select TWO)
Manually configured
Adapts automatically to network changes
Best for small, stable networks
Requires more processing power and memory
Which command-line tool is used to trace the path a packet takes to its destination?
show route
traceroute
show arp
route print
Which OSPF feature makes it suitable for complex network topologies?
It uses hop count as its only metric
It computes the shortest path using the SPF algorithm
It requires minimal planning and configuration
It is Cisco proprietary
What is a limitation of RIP compared to more modern routing protocols?
It does not support IPv6
It requires high bandwidth
It is limited to 15 hops
It only works with Cisco devices
Jasmine is setting up security for her company's network. She needs to choose appropriate firewalls to protect against external threats. Which of the following are types of firewalls she can consider? (Select THREE)
Hardware appliances
Cloud-based firewalls
Unified Threat Management (UTM)
ARP inspection firewalls
David is setting up a large office network and wants to ensure that different departments, like HR and Finance, do not receive each other's broadcast traffic even though they are connected to the same switch. What is the primary benefit of using VLANs in this situation?
Provides automatic IP addressing
Creates separate broadcast domains within a single switch
Eliminates the need for routing protocols
Encrypts traffic between endpoints
Which of the following are advantages of VLANs? (Select TWO)
Segmentation without requiring additional hardware
Automatic encryption of all traffic
Simplified network administration for moves and changes
Provides WAN connectivity without routers
What must be implemented to allow devices in different VLANs to communicate with each other?
NAT
Inter-VLAN routing
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)
ARP
Which type of VLAN is designed specifically for handling VoIP traffic with priority?
Native VLAN
Default VLAN
Voice VLAN
Management VLAN
Which VLAN ID is assigned by default to all switch ports and should remain unused for security reasons?
VLAN 1
VLAN 10
VLAN 100
VLAN 4095
Which of the following are best practices for VLAN security? (Select TWO)
Keep the Default VLAN in use for all traffic
Separate Native and Default VLANs
Place unused ports into a non-default VLAN
Assign VoIP traffic to the Management VLAN
What is the purpose of tagged ports in a VLAN configuration?
To automatically assign VLAN IDs to devices
To carry traffic from multiple VLANs between switches
To block untagged traffic from entering the network
To assign a default IP gateway to VLANs
Adrian is setting up a company's network and wants to ensure that the traffic used for configuring and controlling network devices is kept separate from other types of traffic. Which VLAN type should he use to achieve this?
Native VLAN
Default VLAN
Voice VLAN
Management VLAN
Which VLAN type(s) should NOT overlap with the Default VLAN for best security practices? (Select TWO)
Native VLAN
Voice VLAN
Management VLAN
Tree VLAN
What is the function of trunking in enterprise switching?
Prevents loops between switches
Bundles multiple VLANs into a single logical link
Encrypts traffic between VLANs
Provides a backup for VLAN routing
