CCNA 4 - Accessing the WAN (V4.0)

1. Which three actions might a Frame Relay switch perform when it detects an excessive build-up of frames in its queue? (Choose three.)

puts a hold on accepting frames in excess of the CIR

drops frames from the queue that have the DE bit set

reduces the number of frames it sends over the link

re-negotiates flow control with the connected device

sets the FECN bit on all frames it receives on the congested link

sets the BECN bit on all frames it places on the congested link

2. Which best describes the benefit of using Frame Relay as opposed to a leased line or ISDN service?

Customers can define their virtual circuit needs in far greater combinations, with increments as small as 64 kbps.

Customers pay for an end-to-end connection that includes the local loop and the network link.

Customers only pay for the local loop and the bandwidth they purchase from the network provider.

Connecting new sites requires new lower cost circuit installations when compared to ISDN dialup costs or adding additional hardware for leased service.

Refer to the exhibit. Router R1, the DCE device, has just been configured for PPP encapsulation with authentication. What series of commands will allow another router, the DTE device, to communicate over its serial 0/0/0 interface to router R1?

Router(config)# hostname R3
R3(config)# username R1 password Cisco
R3(config)# interface Serial 0/0/0
R3(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
R3(config-if)# ip address 172.16.3.3 255.255.255.0
R3(config-if)# ppp authentication chap

Router(config)# hostname R3
R3(config)# username R3 password Cisco
R3(config)# interface Serial 0/0/0
R3(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
R3(config-if)# ip address 172.16.3.3 255.255.255.0
R3(config-if)# ppp authentication chap

Router (config)# username Router password Cisco
Router (config)# interface Serial 0/0/0
Router (config-if)# clockrate 64000
Router (config-if)# encapsulation ppp
Router (config-if)# ip address 172.16.3.1 255.255.255.0
Router config-if)# ppp authentication chap

Router (config)# username R1 password Cisco

Router (config-if)# clockrate 64000
Router config-if)# encapsulation ppp
Router (config-if)# ip address 172.16.3.1 255.255.255.0
Router (config-if)# ppp authentication chap

2. Which serial communications DTE/DCE interface standard is used to provide high-speed connectivity of up to 52 Mbps between LANs and is found on many high-end Cisco routers?

EIA/TIA 232 (RS-232)

EIA/TIA 422 (RS-422)

EIA/TIA 423 (RS-423)

EIA/TIA-612/613 (HSSI)

ITU V.35

1. Which statement is true about the differences between a WAN and a LAN?

WANs generally support higher bandwidth than LANs support.

A WAN link typically traverses shorter geographic distances than a LAN link traverses.

A WAN often relies on the services of carriers, such as telephone or cable companies, but a LAN does not.

All WAN implementations generally use the same Layer 2 protocol but there are many accepted LAN Layer 2 protocols in use.

2. A U.S. company requires a WAN connection used only to transfer sales data from individual stores to the home office. All transfers will occur after business hours. The required bandwidth for this connection is estimated to be less than 38 kbps. Which type of connection requires the least investment for this company?

ATM

ISDN

analog dialup

T1 Leased Line
