Question No. 1

Which protocol allows you to securely upload files to another computer on the internet?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

SFTP, or Secure File Transfer Protocol, is a protocol that allows for secure file transfer capabilities between networked hosts. It is a secure extension of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). SFTP encrypts both commands and data, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted openly over the network. It is typically used for secure file transfers over the internet and is built on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol1.

* Secure File Transfers: Best Practices, Protocols And Tools

The Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a secure version of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that uses SSH (Secure Shell) to encrypt all commands and data. This ensures that sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and files being transferred, are securely transmitted over the network.

* ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used for network diagnostics and is not designed for file transfer.

* NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to synchronize clocks between computer systems and is not related to file transfer.

* HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is used for transmitting web pages over the internet and does not inherently provide secure file transfer capabilities.

Thus, the correct protocol that allows secure uploading of files to another computer on the internet is SFTP.

Question No. 2

What is the purpose of assigning an IP address to the management VLAN interface on a Layer 2 switch?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

The primary purpose of assigning an IP address to the management VLAN interface on a Layer 2 switch is to facilitate remote management of the switch. By configuring an IP address on the management VLAN, network administrators can access the switch's Command Line Interface (CLI) remotely using protocols such as Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH). This allows for convenient configuration changes, monitoring, and troubleshooting without needing physical access to the switch1.


* Understanding the Management VLAN

* Cisco - VLAN Configuration Guide

* Remote Management of Switches

Assigning an IP address to the management VLAN interface (often the VLAN 1 interface by default) on a Layer 2 switch allows network administrators to remotely manage the switch using protocols such as Telnet or SSH. This IP address does not affect the switch's ability to route traffic between VLANs but provides a means to access and configure the switch through its Command Line Interface (CLI).

* A: The switch does not act as a default gateway; this is typically a function of a Layer 3 device like a router.

* B: The switch does not resolve URLs; this is typically a function of DNS servers.

* C: The switch can relay DHCP requests but does not typically provide DHCP services itself; this is usually done by a dedicated DHCP server or router.

Thus, the correct answer is D. To enable access to the CLI on the switch through Telnet or SSH.

Question No. 3

Which address is included in the 192.168.200.0/24 network?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

* 192.168.200.0/24 Network: This subnet includes all addresses from 192.168.200.0 to 192.168.200.255. The /24 indicates a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which allows for 256 addresses.

* 192.168.199.13: This address is in the 192.168.199.0/24 subnet, not the 192.168.200.0/24 subnet.

* 192.168.200.13: This address is within the 192.168.200.0/24 subnet.

* 192.168.201.13: This address is in the 192.168.201.0/24 subnet, not the 192.168.200.0/24 subnet.

* 192.168.1.13: This address is in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, not the 192.168.200.0/24 subnet.

Question No. 4

A user reports that a company website is not available. The help desk technician issues a tracert command to determine if the server hosting the website is reachable over the network. The output of the command is shown as follows:

What can you tell from the command output?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

The tracert command output shows the path taken to reach the destination IP address, 192.168.1.10. The command output indicates:

* Hops 1 and 2 are successfully reached.

* Hop 3 times out, meaning the router at hop 3 did not respond to the tracert request. However, this does not necessarily indicate a problem with forwarding packets, as some routers may be configured to block or not respond to ICMP requests.

* Hops 4 and 5 are successfully reached, with hop 5 being the destination IP 192.168.1.10, indicating that the server is reachable.

Thus, the correct answer is C. The server with the address 192.168.1.10 is reachable over the network.


* Cisco Traceroute Command

* Understanding Traceroute

The tracert command output indicates that the server with the address 192.168.1.10 is reachable over the network. The asterisk (*) at hop 3 suggests that the probe sent to that hop did not return a response, which could be due to a variety of reasons such as a firewall blocking ICMP packets or the router at that hop being configured not to respond to ICMP requests. However, since the subsequent hops (4 and 5) are showing response times, it means that the packets are indeed getting through and the server is reachable12.

Question No. 5

A local company requires two networks in two new buildings. The addresses used in these networks must be in the private network range.

Which two address ranges should the company use? (Choose 2.)

Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct selection.

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A, D

The private IP address ranges that are set aside specifically for use within private networks and not routable on the internet are as follows:

Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

Class B: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

Class C: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

These ranges are defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and are used for local communications within a private network123.

Given the options: A. 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 falls within the Class B private range. B. 192.16.0.0 to 192.16.255.255 is not a recognized private IP range. C. 11.0.0.0 to 11.255.255.255 is not a recognized private IP range. D. 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 falls within the Class C private range.

Therefore, the correct selections that the company should use for their private networks are A and D.
