Instructions:
Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
If you are not ready to take this test, you can
study here
.
Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. What is the cost of a 10Gbps link?
A client can roam to any WLC as long as it stays in a mobility group
Sends a test tone on the transmit pair. If a device is detected - CDP is used to narrow down the power class.
2
The switch adds its MAC to the option 82 field so that the DHCP reply echoes back the switch's own information
2. what should you do if you expect a PAgP capable switch at the other end vs. a server or host?
Configure non-silent submode
Should be used on access switches - can't be used on root - keeps enabled switch from becoming root by raising priority of switch and all ports - making them undesirable
Connects to a host on an isolated or community vlan. Communicates only with promiscuous port or ports on same community vlan
0-255

1 per segment
Both layer 2 switching and IVR

Bridge priority and MAC
That they aren't using the same frequencies.
No
5. What is the default VTP state?
Routers are assigned to common GLBP group. All routers can be active and can load balance
Per VLAN
VTP server for domain null with no password or secure mode
As a VLAN access map
6. What is a bridge ID made up of?
Interim solution - uses same hardware as WEP - but uses TKIP encryption
Nonstop forwarding is an interactive method focusing on rebuilding the RIB after SUP switchover
Source IP - dest IP - combination of source and dest IP - source and dest MAC - or TCP/UDP port numbers

A point to point port type but the neighboring device runs traditional 802.1D STP
134 bits
The topology is pre-populated by downloading the topology DB into the FIB and dynamically updated. Called Cisco Express Forwarding
The same as a standby group in HSRP
8. Define HSRP
Group (0-1023) priority (1-255 higher better def 100)
The L3 forwarding engine can't forward the packet in hardware because there is no L2 next-hop address - so the packet is sent to the L3 engine to generate the ARP response
Host Standby Router protocol. Cisco proprietary. Switch is either active - standby - or listen
Only a single host connects . If one BDPU is received - it is no longer an edge port
9. How do you implement MST?
Warning

/var/www/html/basicversity.com/show_quiz.php
on line
183
10. What is a null adjacency?
Used to switch packets destined for the null interface

The same as a standby group in HSRP
11. How is an RSTP edge port configured
Hashing algorithm
Needs hardware upgrade over WEP - uses AES encryption
1-(opt) configure load balancing - 2-select the interface(s) - 3-assign the protocol - 4-select the mode and submode

It can't
1- inferior BDPU on blocked-considered alternative - 2-inferior on root-all blocked ports considered alternate - 3-if inferior arrives on root and no blocked ports - assumes loss of connectivity to root
14. What are the 6 HSRP states?

Stateful switchover - redundant sup is fully booted and init'd. Both start and run config are synched as is L2 information - and switchinterfaces.
If a unidirectional link is detected - the switch doesn't try to reestablish the link. ULD msgs are sent once/sec for 8 seconds - then the port is err-disabled
The point at which a switch decides to trust incoming Qos. Usually at boundary with ISP
19. How is root port decided upon?
Data goes over native vlan - voice goes over VLAN0 - voice QOS is 802.1p

25. What does the RP do?
1- root bridge is elected - 2-the state of eery switch port in the STP domain must be brought from blocking state to the appropriate state
Receives the first packet of a traffic flow and routes it
Aggregation - high L3 throughput - security and policy based connectivity functions through access lists and packet filters - QoS - scalable high-speed links
If three are missed in a row - the neighbor is considered down and the data for that neighbor is aged
