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?
IP address
MAC address
Default gateway address
DNS address
True or False: When two devices are on the same network, the destination MAC address belongs to the receiving device.
True
False
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?
The destination host
The switch
The default gateway (router)
The DNS server
When data travels across multiple networks, different addresses behave differently. Which statement correctly describes address behavior?
Both MAC and IP addresses change
MAC addresses stay the same, IP addresses change
IP addresses stay the same, MAC addresses change
Both addresses are removed and replaced
True or False: MAC addresses are used to move data between different networks across the Internet.
True
False
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?
DNS
ICMP
SSH
ARP
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?
ARP table
Routing table
Switch MAC table
DNS cache
True or False: An ARP request is sent using a broadcast message.
True
False
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following statement: "ARP table entries are temporary and are automatically removed to ensure devices do not rely on outdated network information."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?
To increase encryption
To prevent outdated MAC address information
To reduce routing loops
To improve wireless performance
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?
arp -a
show ip route
show ip arp
show interfaces
True or False: ARP spoofing occurs when an attacker sends false MAC address information to redirect traffic.
True
False
IPv6 does not use ARP. Instead, it uses Neighbor Discovery (ND). Which ND message is equivalent to an ARP Request?
NA
RA
Redirect
NS
IPv6 uses multicast instead of broadcast for address resolution. What is the main advantage of multicast?
Faster encryption
Automatic routing
Increased bandwidth
Reduced unnecessary network traffic
True or False: IPv6 Neighbor Discovery uses broadcast messages to locate devices on the network.
True
False
Routers are powerful devices that must be secured before use. Which command protects access to privileged EXEC mode?
hostname
banner motd
enable secret
description
A router interface has an IP address assigned but is not passing traffic. Which command is required to activate the interface?
no shutdown
service password-encryption
description
copy running-config startup-config
True or False: Router interfaces are enabled by default when a router is powered on.
True
False
A network technician wants to quickly view interface status and assigned IP addresses. Which command provides the best summary?
show ip interface brief
show interfaces
show ip route
ping
A host must communicate with a device on a different network. Which configuration setting allows this communication?
MAC address
Subnet mask
Default gateway
DNS server
Static routes are manually configured by a network administrator. What is the main purpose of a static route?
Automatically discover networks
Forward traffic using a defined path
Assign IP addresses dynamically
Resolve MAC addresses
