Explanations: Chapter 1
1. Review Question p. 2
Answers: D
Explanation A. No, the access-layer provides end user connectivity to the network. It
must provide end user access functions as high port density low cost, VLAN support
and MAC address filtering.
Explanation B. There is no such layer in the three-layer hierarchical model. The layers
are access, distribution and core.
Explanation C. This answer is incorrect. The core layer interconnects all distribution
layer devices. It is also called backbone. It must switch traffic as quick as possible and
usually does not have layer 3 functionality.
Explanation D. This layer interconnects access and core layer. The devices on this
layer must provide the following functionality: inter VLAN routing, media translation
between dissimilar media types and policy-based connectivity based on the access-lists.
Explanation E. There is no allocation layer in the three-layer hierarchical model. The
layers are access, distribution and core.

2. Review Question p. 2
Answers: B
Explanation A. This layer interconnects access and core layer. The devices on this
layer must provide the following functionality: inter VLAN routing, media translation
between dissimilar media types and policy-based connectivity based on the access-lists.
Explanation B. This is the correct answer. The core layer interconnects all distribution
layer devices. It is also called backbone. It must switch traffic as quick as possible and
usually does not have layer 3 functionality. Its main function is to switch the traffic
between distribution layer devices.
Explanation C. The access-layer provides end-user connectivity to the network. It
provides end user access functions as high port density, low cost, VLAN support and
MAC address filtering. The core layer is the backbone of the three-layer model and
provides the fastest switching capabilities.
 Design 139

Explanation D. This is another name for the access layer and is, therefore, incorrect.

PrepLogic Question: 8133-101

3. Review Question p. 3
Answers: C
Explanation A. The distance vector Interior gateway protocols are not suitable for large
environments. Slow convergence, small number of hops (15) determines their use in
small networks. RIPv1 does not support VLSM.
Explanation B. Static route is not appropriate in huge complex environments with
redundant links between routers.
Explanation C. OSPF is a link-state routing protocol and is appropriate for huge
networks. It supports up to 6 load sharing connections, if they have equal cost. The
convergence is very fast. It supports VLSM and the network can be divided on areas,
which will reduce routing updates.
Explanation D. IGRP is a distance vector routing protocol that is more scalable than
RIP. The convergence is slow and it does not support VLSM. It is also a Cisco
proprietary protocol, but we have equipment from different vendors.
Explanation E. EIGRP is a distance vector routing protocol and has some
characteristics of link state protocol. The convergence is fast and it supports VLSM. It is
a Cisco proprietary protocol and this is the reason why we cannot use the EIGRP.

PrepLogic Question: 8133-102

4. Review Question p. 3
Answers: D
Explanation A. You have a small networking organization with single connection
without redundancy. OSPF is intended for more complex networks. Link-state routing
protocols have higher requirements for router processor power and memory than
distance-vector protocols.
Explanation B. RIP protocol is good for small organizations. Actually this network
doesn't need any dynamic routing protocol, because there are no redundant links at all.
 Design 140

Explanation C. The IGRP routing protocol is suitable for small organizations. Our
network doesn't need any dynamic routing protocol, because there are no redundant
links at all. Dynamic routing protocol will use link bandwidth, router memory and
processor power. It is useless when there are no redundant connections.
Explanation D. Because of hub-and-spoke topology, without backup lines the static
route is the best choice for the network.

PrepLogic Question: 8133-103

5. Review Question p. 4
Answers: C
Explanation A. It could be resolved. By exchanging RIPv1 protocol with RIPv2 and to
switch off summarization. You can also use EIGRP and OSPF and configure
advertisement.
Explanation B. There is a problem. If the major network is divided from a different
network. RIP summarizes automatically at network boundaries and both parts will
advertise the major network to the second network.
Explanation C. This answer is correct. You can switch off auto summarization (it is
switched on by default on all distance vector protocols). Advertisements on EIGRP and
OSPF are configurable but on RIPv2 you can turn off auto-summarization.
Explanation D. It is impossible to turn off auto-summarization on RIPv1 and IGRP
routing protocols. If you have discontiguos network, the best resolution is to change
these routing protocols with RIPv2, EIGRP or OSPF.
Explanation E. This will not resolve the problem. It is impossible to turn off
auto-summarization on RIPv1 and IGRP routing protocols.
