Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation ( Version 7.00) – CCNA (200-301) Certification Practice Exam

1. An instructor is reviewing student answers on a previous term exam to prepare for a lecture on IPv6. What would be a good point for the instructor to make when explaining an IPv6 GUA (global unicast address)?

7. Two students are discussing routers and one statement that is said between them is accurate. Which statement is that?

• A directly-connected network is automatically added to the routing table of an adjacency neighbor if both routers are Cisco routers.
• A gateway of last resort is added to the routing table when the router boots up.

• Multiple virtual machines can be running simultaneously on a single physical device.

9. Students in a data networking class are reviewing materials in preparation for a quiz. Which statement describes the operation of an access control method for shared network media?

• The controlled-based access method, used on legacy bus-topology Ethernet LANs, decided the order of each device to transmit.
• In the CSMA/CD method, when two devices transmit at the same time, a collision is detected and data is resent immediately.
• The CSMA/CA method attempts to avoid collisions by having each device informing others how long the media will be unavailable.
• In a contention-based multiaccess network, each node has its own time to use the medium.

10. A network administrator is designing an IPv4 addressing scheme and requires these subnets.

1 subnet of 100 hosts
2 subnets of 80 hosts
2 subnets of 30 hosts
4 subnets of 20 hosts

Which combination of subnets and masks will provide the best addressing plan for these requirements?

• 9 subnets of 126 hosts with a 255.255.255.128 mask
• 3 subnets of 126 hosts with a 255.255.255.192 mask

  6 subnets of 30 hosts with a 255.255.255.224 mask
• 1 subnet of 126 hosts with a 255.255.255.192 mask
  2 subnets of 80 hosts with a 255.255.255.224 mask
  6 subnets of 30 hosts with a 255.255.255.240 mask

Reference: VLSM Calculator Online

IPv4 subnets that require 100 and 80 hosts are provided by creating subnets of 126 usable addresses, each of which requires 7 host bits. The resulting mask is 255.255.255.128.

Subnets that require 30 and 20 hosts are provided by creating subnets of 30 usable addresses, each of which requires 5 host bits. The resulting mask is 255.255.255.224.

Creating nine subnets, each consisting of 126 usable addresses, would waste large numbers of addresses in the six smaller subnets.
