Small-to-Medium Business

1
What are two purposes of DNS? (Choose two.)

to dynamically assign IP addressing information to network hosts

to simplify the administration of host and default gateway addressing on client computers
to assign TCP port numbers to hosts as part of the data transfer process
to resolve human-readable domain names to numeric IP addresses
to replace the static HOSTS file with a more practical dynamic system

Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator uses the command below to configure a default
route on RTB:
RTB(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fa0/0
A ping issued from PC3 is successful to RTB. However, echo request packets arrive at PC1 but the
echo replies do not make it back to PC3. What will fix this problem?

RTA must be configured to forward packets to the 192.168.2.0 network.

The ip route command needs to be edited so that the next hop address is 10.1.1.5.
The ip route command needs to be edited so that the 192.168.2.1 address is the next hop
address.
The ip route command should be removed from the RTB router configuration.
Another default route should be configured on RTA with a next hop address of 10.1.1.6.
3

Refer to the exhibit. A NOC technician at an ISP enters the command c:\ping 209.165.201.7.
What are two reasons to use this command? (Choose two.)

map the path to 209.165.201.7

test reachability to 209.165.201.7
locate connectivity problems along the route to 209.165.201.7
identify ISPs that interconnect the NOC and remote host with IP 209.165.201.7
measure the time that packets take to reach 209.165.201.7 and return to the technician's
workstation

4
How does TCP ensure the reliable transfer of data?

If data segments are not received from the source, the destination requests that the segments be
resent.
If an acknowledgment of the transmitted segments is not received from the destination in a
predetermined amount of the time, the source resends the data.
TCP uses the SYN-ACK portion of the three-way handshake to ensure that all data has been
received.
The TCP Protocol Interpreter process verifies the transmitted data at source and destination.

5
A new router is connected to an existing network. Which two tasks must be completed on the new
router to include it in the dynamic routing process? (Choose two.)

Enter the new network IP address on all existing routers.

Assign an appropriate IP address and subnet mask to the serial interface.
Update the ip host configuration information with the device name and new interface IP address.
Configure a routing protocol with the directly connected network IP addresses.
Configure a routing protocol to include all networks from all existing routers.
