1.

A device on a local network sends data to another device in the same subnet. The delivery does not require a router. Which address is used to deliver the frame directly to the destination device?

a)

IP address

b)

MAC address

c)

Default gateway address

d)

DNS address

2.

True or False: When two devices are on the same network, the destination MAC address belongs to the receiving device.

a)

True

b)

False

3.

A PC is sending data to a device on a different network. The PC cannot reach the destination directly. Which device receives the frame first?

a)

The destination host

b)

The switch

c)

The default gateway (router)

d)

The DNS server

4.

When data travels across multiple networks, different addresses behave differently. Which statement correctly describes address behavior?

a)

Both MAC and IP addresses change

b)

MAC addresses stay the same, IP addresses change

c)

IP addresses stay the same, MAC addresses change

d)

Both addresses are removed and replaced

5.

True or False: MAC addresses are used to move data between different networks across the Internet.

a)

True

b)

False

6.

A computer knows the IPv4 address of another device but does not know its MAC address. Which protocol is used to discover the MAC address?

a)

DNS

b)

ICMP

c)

SSH

d)

ARP

7.

A student is reading a troubleshooting guide that explains the steps a device follows before sending an ARP request. The guide states: "The device first checks its locally stored information to see if the MAC address is already known." Based on this written description, what does the device check first?

a)

ARP table

b)

Routing table

c)

Switch MAC table

d)

DNS cache

8.

True or False: An ARP request is sent using a broadcast message.

a)

True

b)

False

9.

A student is reading a network maintenance document that includes the following statement: "ARP table entries are temporary and are automatically removed to ensure devices do not rely on outdated network information." Based on this written explanation, why are ARP entries removed over time?

a)

To increase encryption

b)

To prevent outdated MAC address information

c)

To reduce routing loops

d)

To improve wireless performance

10.

A student is reading a Cisco troubleshooting guide that includes the following instruction: "To view the current IP-to-MAC address mappings learned by a router, use the appropriate show command." Based on this written instruction, which command should be used on a Cisco router?

a)

arp -a

b)

show ip route

c)

show ip arp

d)

show interfaces

11.

True or False: ARP spoofing occurs when an attacker sends false MAC address information to redirect traffic.

a)

True

b)

False

12.

IPv6 does not use ARP. Instead, it uses Neighbor Discovery (ND). Which ND message is equivalent to an ARP Request?

a)

NA

b)

RA

c)

Redirect

d)

NS

13.

IPv6 uses multicast instead of broadcast for address resolution. What is the main advantage of multicast?

a)

Faster encryption

b)

Automatic routing

c)

Increased bandwidth

d)

Reduced unnecessary network traffic

14.

True or False: IPv6 Neighbor Discovery uses broadcast messages to locate devices on the network.

a)

True

b)

False

15.

Routers are powerful devices that must be secured before use. Which command protects access to privileged EXEC mode?

a)

hostname

b)

banner motd

c)

enable secret

d)

description

16.

A router interface has an IP address assigned but is not passing traffic. Which command is required to activate the interface?

a)

no shutdown

b)

service password-encryption

c)

description

d)

copy running-config startup-config

17.

True or False: Router interfaces are enabled by default when a router is powered on.

a)

True

b)

False

18.

A network technician wants to quickly view interface status and assigned IP addresses. Which command provides the best summary?

a)

show ip interface brief

b)

show interfaces

c)

show ip route

d)

ping

19.

A host must communicate with a device on a different network. Which configuration setting allows this communication?

a)

MAC address

b)

Subnet mask

c)

Default gateway

d)

DNS server

20.

Static routes are manually configured by a network administrator. What is the main purpose of a static route?

a)

Automatically discover networks

b)

Forward traffic using a defined path

c)

Assign IP addresses dynamically

d)

Resolve MAC addresses
