encapsulation sap
* interface ethernet 0.1ipx encapsulation Novell-ether ipx network 9e interface
ethernet 0.2 ipx encapsulation sap ipx network 6c
Correct answer: D
The following commands setup the subinterfaces to allow for two types of
encapsulation: interface ethernet 0.1 ipx encapsulation Novell-ether ipx network
9e interface ethernet 0.2 ipx encapsulation sap ipx network 6c
7. What does the “IPX maximum-paths 2″ command accomplish?
* It enables load sharing on 2 paths if the paths are equal metric paths.
* It sets up routing to go to network 2.
* It is the default for Cisco IPX load sharing.
* It enables load sharing on 2 paths if the paths are unequal metric paths.
Correct answer: A
It enables load sharing on 2 paths if the paths are equal metric paths. The default
is 1 path and the maximum is 512 paths.
8. You want to enable both arpa and snap encapsulation on one router interface.
How do you do this?
* The interface can handle multiple encapsulation types with no extra
configuration.
* Assign two network numbers, one for each encapsulation type.
* Enable Novell-ether to run multiple encapsulation types.
* Both arpa and snap are enabled by default so you don’t have to configure
anything.
Correct answer: B
To assign multiple network numbers, you usually use subinterfaces. A sample
configuration follows: ipx ethernet 0.1 ipx encapsulation novell-ether ipx network
9e interface ethernet 0.2 ipx encapsulation sap ipx network 6c
By default, Cisco routers forward GNS SAPs to remote networks.
* False
* True
Correct answer: A
GNS is Novell’s protocol to Get Nearest Server. If there is a server on the local
network, that server will respond. If there isn’t, the Cisco router has to be
configured to forward the GNS SAP.
9. To prevent Service Advertisements (SAPs) from flooding a network, Cisco
routers do not forward them. How are services advertised to other networks?
* Each router builds its own SAP table and forwards that every 60 seconds.
* Each router assigns a service number and broadcasts that.
* SAPs aren’t necessary with Cisco routers.
* Cisco routers filter out all SAPs.
Correct answer: A
Cisco routers build SAP tables and forward the table every 60 seconds. All SAPs
can’t be filtered even with 4.x since NDS and time synchronization uses SAPs.
10. Novell’s implementation of RIP updates routing tables every ____ seconds.
* 60
* 90
* 10
* 30
Correct answer: A
Novell’s RIP updates routing tables every 60 seconds, Apple’s RTMP is every 10
seconds, routers ARP every 60 seconds, IGRP signal every 90 seconds, and
Banyan VINES signals every 90 seconds.
11. In Novell’s use of RIP, there are two metrics used to make routing decisions.
Select the two metrics.
* Ticks.
* Hops
* Loops
* Counts
Correct answer: A &B
It first uses ticks (which is about 1/18 sec.); if there is a tie, it uses hops; if hops
are equal, then it uses an administratively assigned tiebreaker.

18. You are a system administrator on a NetWare network, you are running NetWare
4.11 and you cannot communicate with your router. What is the likely problem?
* NetWare 4.11 defaults to 802.2 encapsulation.
* NetWare 4.11 defaults to 802.3 encapsulation
* Cisco routers only work with NetWare 3.11.
* NetWare 3.11 defaults to 802.2 encapsulation.
Correct answer: A
The default encapsulation on Cisco routers is Novell Ethernet_802.3 and NetWare
3.12 and later defaults to 802.2 encapsulation, 3.11 and earlier defaults to 802.3.
19. NetWare IPX addressing uses a network number and a node number. Which
statements are true?
* The network address is administratively assigned and can be up to 16
hexadecimal digits long.
* The node address is always administratively assigned.
* The node address is usually the MAC address.
* If the MAC address is used as the node address, then IPX eliminates the use of
ARP.
Correct answer: A, C &D
 The network address can be up to 16 hexadecimal digits in length. The node
number is 12 hexadecimal digits. The node address is usually the MAC address.
An example IPX address is 4a1d.0000.0c56.de33. The network part is 4a1d. The
node part is 0000.0c56.de33. The network number is assigned by the system
administrator of the Novell network.
20. Which NetWare protocol works on layer 3–network layerâ€â€�of the OSI
model?
* IPX
* NCP

* NetBIOS
Correct answer: A
IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) is a NetWare network layer 3 protocol used
for transferring information on LANs.
21. Which NetWare protocol provides link-state routing?
* NLSP
* RIP
* SAP
* NCP
Correct answer: A
NetWare Link Services Protocol (NLSP) provides link-state routing. SAP
(Service Advertisement Protocol) advertises network services. NCP (NetWare
Core Protocol) provides client-to-server connections and applications. RIP is a
distance vector routing protocol.
22. As a system administrator, you want to debug igrp but are worried that the “debug
IP igrp transaction” command will flood the console. What is the command that
you should use?
* debug IP igrp event
* debug IP igrp-events
* debug IP igrp summary
* debug IP igrp events
Correct answer: D
The “debug IP igrp events” is used to only display a summary of IGRP routing
information. You can append an IP address onto either command to see only the
IGRP updates from a neighbor.
23. What does the following series of commands accomplish? router igrp 71 network
10.0.0.0 router igrp 109 network 172.68.7.0
* It isolates networks 10.0.0.0 and 172.68.7.0.
* It loads igrp for networks 109 and 71.
* It disables RIP.
* It disables all routing protocols.
Correct answer: A
It isolates network 10.0.0.0 and 172.68.7.0 and associates autonomous systems
109 and 71 with IGRP. IGRP does not disable RIP, both can be used at the same
time.
24. In the command “router igrp 109″ what does 109 signify?
* an autonomous system
* any network number which the router is attached to
* the allowable length of the routing table
* the network socket number
Correct answer: A
The Cisco IOS global configuration command “router igrp xxx” is used to
configure the Interior Gateway Routing Protocol. In this case, the 109 is called the
process-id , which can also be used for an autonomous system number.
25. IGRP supports a feature that allows traffic to be distributed among up to 6 (4
default) paths to provide greater overall throughput and reliability. What is this
called?
* unequal-cost load balancing
* equal-cost load balancing
* proportionate load balancing
* low cost load balancing
Correct answer: A
An unequal-cost load balancing is used to provide alternate paths for data
distribution on an internetwork. Cisco developed this method to use unused or
under utilized links to increase bandwidth and network availability.
26. IGRP uses flash updates, poison reverse updates, holddown times, and split
horizon. How often does it broadcast its routing table updates?
* 90 seconds
* 10 seconds
* 30 seconds
* 45 seconds
Correct answer: A
27. The command “show IP protocol” displays which information?
* routing timers
* network information
* contents of the IP routing table
* information about all known network and subnetworks
Correct answer: A & B
“show IP protocol” displays routing timers and network information. “show IP
route” displays the routing table with information about all known networks and
subnetworks.
28. When using RIP, routing updates are broadcast every ____ seconds.
* 30
* 10
* 60
* 90
Correct answer: A
Novell’s RIP updates routing tables every 60 seconds, Apple’s RTMP is every 10
seconds, routers ARP every 60 seconds, DECnet hosts and IGRP signal every 15
seconds, and Banyan VINES signals every 90 seconds.
29. An autonomous system can only exist if all routers in that system meet which
criteria?
* interconnected
* run the same routing protocol
* assigned same autonomous system number
* run IGRP only
* run RIP only
Correct answer: A,B &C
An autonomous system is a set of routers and networks under the same
administration. Each router must be interconnected, run the same routing
protocol, and assigned the same autonomous system number. The network
Information Center (NIC) assigns a unique autonomous system number to
enterprises.
30. A default route is analogous to a _________.
* default gateway
* static route
* dynamic route
* one-way route
Correct answer: A
A default route is analogous to a default gateway. It is used to reduce the length of
routing tables and to provide complete routing capabilities when a router might
not know the routes to all other networks.
31. Routers can learn about destinations through static routes, default, or dynamic
routing. By default, a router will use information derived from __________.
* IGRP
* RIP
* IP
* TCP
Correct answer: A
The quality of information is rated:
Connected interface 0
Static route 1
IGRP 100
RIP 120
Unknown 255
The lower the value, the more reliable the source with 255 signifying information
that the router will ignore. So, the router will use IGRP, rated at 100, before RIP,
rated at 120.
32. You are logged into a router, what command would show you the IP addresses of
routers connected to you?
* show cdp neighbors detail
* show run
* show neighbors
* show cdp
Correct answer: A
 33. As a system administrator, you perform an extended ping at the privileged EXEC
prompt. As part of the display, you see “Set DF bit in IP header? [yes] :” What
would happen if you answered no at the prompt.
* This lets the router fragment the packet.
* It tells the router not to fragment the packet.
* This lets the router direct the packet to the destination it finds in its routing
table.
* It tell the router to send the packet to the next hop router
Correct answer: A
“Set DF bit in IP header?” is a response to an extended ping at the router. If you
answer yes (the default) the router will not fragment the packet. If you answer no,
the router will fragment the packet.
34. You have typed “ping” 172.16.101.1 and get the following display: Type escape
sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 172.16.101.1, timeout is
2 seconds:
.!!!!
What does the “.” signify?
* That one message timed out.
* That all messages were successful.
* That one message was successful.
* That one message completed in under the allotted timeframe.
Correct answer: A
The possible responses from the ping command are: ! Successful receipt of an
echo reply. Timed out waiting for a reply U Destination unreachable C
Congestion-experienced packet I Ping interrupted ? Packet type unknown &
Packet TTL exceeded
35. Which command, that is used to test address configuration, uses Time-To-Live
(TTL) values to generate messages from each router.
* trace
* ping
* telnet
* bootp
Correct answer: A
The Cisco IOS EXEC command “trace [protocol] [destination]” is used to
discover routes that packets will travel to their destination hosts. Trace uses TTL
(Time to Live) values to report destination route information.
36. What does the command “IP name-server 255.255.255.255″ accomplish?

* It sets the domain name lookup to be a local broadcast.

* This is an illegal command.
* It disables domain name lookup.
* The command is now defunct and has been replaced by “IP server-name ip any”
Correct answer: A
By default DNS is enabled on a router with a server address of 255.255.255.255, which
provides for a local broadcast.
37. As a system administrator, you need to provide your routers with a Domain Name
System (DNS) server. How many DNS servers can you specify with one
command?
*6
*1
*2
*4
Correct answer: A
You can only specify six name servers in one command. The syntax is “IP name-
server server-address1 [[ server-address2 ]…server-address6]. You must also
enable
DNS.

38. How would you configure one host name that points to two IP addresses?
* IP host jacob 1.0.0.5 2.0.0.8
* IP jacob 1.0.0.5 2.0.0.8
* IP host jacob 1.0.0.5
* IP host duplicate “all”
Correct answer: A
The correct syntax is IP host name [ TCP-port-number ] address [ address ]…..
So, “IP host P1R1 1.0.0.5 2.0.0.8″ is the correct choice. “IP host jacob 1.0.0.5″
only points the host name jacob to one IP address–1.0.0.5.
39. The following selections show the command prompt and the configuration of the
IP network mask. Which two are correct?
* Router#term IP netmask-format { bitcount | decimal | hexadecimal }
* Router(config-if)#IP netmask-format { bitcount | decimal | hexadecimal }
* Router(config-if)#netmask-format { bitcount | decimal | hexadecimal }
* Router#ip netmask-format { bitcount | decimal | hexadecimal }
Correct answer: A & B
Router#term IP netmask-format { bitcount | decimal | hexadecimal } and
Router(config-if)#IP netmask-format { bitcount | decimal | hexadecimal } are
correct. You can configure the mask for the current session and you can configure
it for a specific line.
40. When configuring the subnet mask for an IP address, which formats can be used?
* dotted-decimal.
* Hexadecimal
* Bit-count
* Octal
* Binary
Correct answer: A, B &C

Correct answer: A
44. You have an IP host address of 201.222.5.121 and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.248. What is the broadcast address?
* 201.222.5.127
* 201.222.5.120
* 201.222.5.121
* 201.222.5.122
Correct answer: A
The easiest way to calculate this is to subtract 255.255.255.248 (subnet mask)
from 255.255.255.255, this
equals 7. Convert the address 201.222.5.121 to binary–11001001 11011110
00000101 01111001. Convert the
mask 255.255.255.248 to binary–11111111 11111111 11111111 11111000. AND
them together to get: 11001001 11011110
45. 01111000 or 201.222.5.120. 201.222.5.120 is the subnet address, add 7 to this
address for 201.222.5.127 or
the broadcast address. 201.222.5.121 through 201.222.5.126 are the valid host
addresses.
46. Given the address 172.16.2.120 and the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. How
many hosts are available?
* 254
* 510
* 126
* 16,372
Correct answer: A
172.16.2 120 is a standard Class B address with a subnet mask that allows 254
hosts. You are a network administrator and have been assigned the IP address of
201.222.5.0. You need to have 20 subnets with 5 hosts per subnet. The subnet
mask is 255.255.255.248.
47. Which addresses are valid host addresses?
* 201.222.5.17
* 201.222.5.18
* 201.222.5.16
* 201.222.5.19
* 201.222.5.31
Correct answer: A,B & D
Subnet addresses in this situation are all in multiples of 8. In this example,
201.222.5.16 is the subnet, 201.22.5.31 is the broadcast address. The rest are valid
host IDs on subnet 201.222.5.16.
48. You are a network administrator and have been assigned the IP address of
201.222.5.0. You need to have 20 subnets with
49. hosts per subnet. What subnet mask will you use?
* 255.255.255.248
* 255.255.255.128
* 255.255.255.192
* 255.255.255.240
Correct answer: A
By borrowing 5 bits from the last octet, you can. have 30 subnets. If you
borrowed only 4 bits you could only have 14 subnets. The formula is (2 to the
power of n)-2. By borrowing 4 bits, you have (2×2x2×2)-2=14. By borrowing 5
bits, you have (2×2x2×2x2)-2=30. To get 20 subnets, you would need to borrow 5
bits so the subnet mask would be 255.255.255.248.
50. You are given the IP address of 172.16.2.160 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
What is the network address in binary?
* 10101100 00010000
* 00000010 10100000
* 10101100 00000000
* 11100000 11110000
Correct answer: A
To find the network address, convert the IP address to binary–10101100
000100000 00000010 10100000–then ANDed it with the subnet mask–11111111
11111111 00000000 00000000. The rest is 10101100 00010000 00000000
00000000, which is 172.16.0.0 in decimal.
The first octet rule states that the class of an address can be determined by the
numerical value of the first octet.
