show ip interface brief

ping

d)

show ip route

show ip protocols

4.

What should an administrator do to remove a static route from the routing table when the destination network no longer exists?

Nothing. The static route will go away on its own.

Change the administrative distance for that route.

d)

Remove the route using the no ip route command.

5.

What describes the sequence of processes executed by a router when it receives a packet from a host?

a)

It selects the path and forwards it toward the destination host.

b)

It de-encapsulates the packet, selects the appropriate path, and encapsulates the packet to forward it toward the destination host.

c)

It receives the packet and forwards it directly to the destination host.

d)

It de-encapsulates the packet and forwards it toward the destination host.

6.

What is the purpose of the show cdp neighbor command?

a)

To verify the network addresses that are attached to the network devices.

To check the connectivity of PCs that are connected to the network devices.

c)

To check the networks that are advertised by the neighboring routers.

d)

To obtain information about directly connected Cisco devices.

7.

What two router commands would an administrator use to determine if the exit interface was up and the next hop address is available? (Choose two.)

a)

tracert

b)

show ip protocols

c)

ping

d)

show ip route

8.

What should the administrator do if the command ip route 192.168.10.64 255.255.255.192 serial0/0/1 is not in the routing table?

a)

Verify that the 192.168.10.64 network is active within the network infrastructure.

b)

Re-enter the command using a network number rather than a usable IP address.

c)

Verify that the serial 0/0/1 interface is active and available.

d)

Re-enter the command using the correct mask.

9.

What will a router do if it does not have a default route configured and a packet needs to be forwarded to a destination network that is not listed in the routing table?

a)

Send it back to the source.

b)

Forward it to another router.

c)

Send it to the default gateway.

d)

Drop it.

10.

What does the letter C mean next to an entry in the output of the show ip route command?

a)

It identifies a network that is learned through EIGRP.

b)

It identifies a network that is directly connected to the router.

c)

It identifies a network that is learned through OSPF.

d)

It identifies a network that is a static route.

11.

What happens to a static route entry in a routing table when the outgoing interface associated with that route goes into the down state?

a)

The router polls neighbors for a replacement route.

b)

The static route is removed from the routing table.

c)

The static route remains in the table because it was defined as static.

d)

The router automatically redirects the static route to use another interface.

12.

What action will a router take to forward a frame if it does not have an entry in the ARP table to resolve a destination MAC address?

a)

Drops the frame.

b)

Sends an ARP request.

c)

Sends frame to the default gateway.

d)

Sends a DNS request.

13.

Which IOS command can be used to validate Layer 1 and Layer 2 connectivity?

a)

ping

b)

show cdp neighbors detail

c)

show ip route

d)

traceroute

14.

What is the first step a router takes when it receives a packet?

a)

It de-encapsulates the Ethernet frame.

b)

It checks the destination MAC address.

c)

It identifies the Ethernet Type field.

d)

It examines the destination IP address.

16.

What does a router do if it receives a packet with a destination network that is not in its routing table?
