4. Question
1 pointsA small car dealership has a scanner that is attached to the PC of the sales manager. When salesmen need to scan a document, they place the document in the scanner and use their own PCs to control the scanner through software on the PC of the manager. After the document is scanned, they can attach it to an email or upload it into the sales software. What type of network model does this scenario describe?Correct
Incorrect
In a peer-to-peer network, two or more computers are connected via a network and can share resources (in this case a scanner and files) without having a dedicated server. Every connected end device (known as a peer) can function as both a server and a client. Peer-to-peer networks decentralize the resources on a network. Instead of being stored on dedicated servers, data to be shared can be located on any connected device.Hint

Question 5 of 40
5. Question
1 pointsWhich media access method requires that an end device send a notification across the media before sending data?Correct
Incorrect
Using CSMA/CA as the media access control method, a device will examine the network media. If there is no carrier, the device sends a notification and, if no other device uses the media, it begins to send its data. This method differs from CSMA/CD, where a device will send data once it senses that the media is free, without sending a notification.Hint

1 pointsRefer to the exhibit. PC1 is configured to obtain a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. PC1 has been shut down for two weeks. When PC1 boots and tries to request an available IP address, which destination IP address will PC1 place in the IP header?
CCNA 2 RSE 6.0 Pretest Exam Answers 2018 2019 07 Correct
Incorrect
When a host boots and has been configured for dynamic IP addressing, the device tries to obtain a valid IP address. It sends a DHCPDISCOVER message. This is a broadcast message because the DHCP server address is unknown (by design). The destination IP address in the IP header is 255.255.255.255 and the destination MAC address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.Hint

CCNA 2 RSE 6.0 Pretest Exam Answers 2018 2019 01 Correct
Incorrect
IPv6 interfaces commonly have two addresses assigned: a link-local address and a global unicast address. Addresses for a link-local address can have hexadecimal numbers in the first hextet ranging from FE80 to FEBF. Global unicast numbers must have the first 3 bits be 001 in the first hextet. The IPv6 addresses that start with 2001 are examples of global unicast addresses.Hint

1 pointsWhich technology provides a solution to IPv4 address depletion by allowing multiple devices to share one public IP address?Correct
Incorrect
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a technology implemented within IPv4 networks. One application of NAT is to use a few public IP addresses to be shared by many internal network hosts which use private IP addresses. NAT removes the need for public addresses for every internal host. It therefore provides a solution to slow down the IPv4 address depletion.Hint

Question 28 of 40
28. Question
1 pointsRefer to the exhibit. What will the router do with a packet that has a destination IP address of 192.168.12.227?
CCNA 2 RSE 6.0 Pretest Exam Answers 2018 2019 03 Correct
Incorrect
After a router determines the destination network by ANDing the destination IP address with the subnet mask, the router examines the routing table for the resulting destination network number. When a match is found, the packet is sent to the interface associated with the network number. When no routing table entry is found for the particular network, the default gateway or gateway of last resort (if configured or known) is used. If there is no gateway of last resort, the packet is dropped. In this instance, the 192.168.12.224 network is not found in the routing table and the router uses the gateway of last resort. The gateway of last resort is the IP address of 209.165.200.226. The router knows this is an IP address that is associated with the 209.165.200.224 network. The router then proceeds to transmit the packet out the Serial0/0/0 interface, or the interface that is associated with 209.165.200.224.Hint

1 pointsWhich type of static route is configured with a greater administrative distance to provide a backup route to a route learned from a dynamic routing protocol?Correct
Incorrect
There are four basic types of static routes. Floating static routes are backup routes that are placed into the routing table if a primary route is lost. A summary static route aggregates several routes into one, reducing the of the routing table. Standard static routes are manually entered routes into the routing table. Default static routes create a gateway of last resort.Hint

Question 33 of 40
33. Question
1 pointsWhich advantage does the store-and-forward switching method have compared with the cut-through switching method?Correct
Incorrect
A switch using the store-and-forward switching method performs an error check on an incoming frame by comparing the FCS value against its own FCS calculations after the entire frame is received. In comparison, a switch using the cut-through switching method makes quick forwarding decisions and starts the forwarding process without waiting for the entire frame to be received. Thus a switch using cut-through switching may send invalid frames to the network. The performance of store-and-forward switching is slower compared to cut-through switching performance. Collision detection is monitored by the sending device. Store-and-forward switching does not use IPv4 Layer 3 and 4 information for its forwarding decisions.Hint

Question 37 of 40
37. Question
1 pointsWhat is the most likely scenario in which the WAN interface of a router would be configured as a DHCP client to be assigned a dynamic IP address from an ISP?Correct
Incorrect
SOHO and home broadband routers are typically set to acquire an IPv4 address automatically from the ISP. The IP address that is assigned is typically a dynamic address to reduce the cost, but a static IP address is possible with more cost. However, if the router is assigned a dynamic IP address, DNS issues will result in the web server behind the router not being easily accessible to the public. Routers are typically also gateways for LANs, but this has no bearing on whether the router is configured as a DHCP client on its WAN link or not. Likewise, a router can be configured to be a DHCP client in order to obtain an IP address from the ISP, but at the same time, it can be configured as a DHCP server to serve the IP addressing for the devices on its LAN.Hint

1 pointsWhich type of traffic would most likely have problems when passing through a NAT device?Correct
Incorrect
IPsec protocols often perform integrity checks on packets when they are received to ensure that they have not been changed in transit from the source to the destination. Because NAT changes values in the headers as packets pass from inside to outside, these integrity checks can fail, thus causing the packets to be dropped at the destination.Hint

Question 40 of 40
40. Question
2 pointsCompared with dynamic routes, what are two advantages of using static routes on a router? (Choose two.)Correct
Incorrect
Static routes are manually configured on a router. Static routes are not automatically updated and must be manually reconfigured if the network topology changes. Thus static routing improves network security because it does not make route updates among neighboring routers. Static routes also improve resource efficiency by using less bandwidth, and no CPU cycles are used to calculate and communicate routes.Hint

Thus static routing improves network security because it does not make route updates among neighboring routers. Static routes also improve resource efficiency by using less bandwidth, and no CPU cycles are used to calculate and communicate routes.
