AUX

Console

SSH

 

7. Why is it important to configure a hostname on a device?

a Cisco router or switch only begins to operate when its hostname is set

to identify the device during remote access (SSH or telnet)

a hostname must be configured before any other parameters

to allow local access to the device through the console port

 

8. Which information does the show startup-config command display?

the contents of the saved configuration file in the NVRAM

the IOS image copied into RAM

the bootstrap program in the ROM

the contents of the current running configuration file in the RAM

 

9. What are two characteristics of RAM on a Cisco device? (Choose two.)

RAM is a component in Cisco switches but not in Cisco routers.

The configuration that is actively running on the device is stored in RAM.

RAM provides nonvolatile storage.

RAM is able to store multiple versions of IOS and configuration files.

The contents of RAM are lost during a power cycle.

 

10. Which statement is true about the running configuration file in a Cisco IOS device?

It should be deleted using the erase running-config command.

It is stored in NVRAM.

It affects the operation of the device immediately when modified.

It is automatically saved when the router reboots.

 

11. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is configuring the MOTD on switch SW1. What is the purpose of this command?

A network administrator is configuring the MOTD on switch SW1

to configure switch SW1 so that the message will display when a user enters the enable command

to configure switch SW1 so that only the users in the Admin group can telnet into SW1

to display a message when a user accesses the switch

to force users of the Admin group to enter a password for authentication

 

12. What is the function of the kernel of an operating software?

The kernel provisions hardware resources to meet software requirements.

It is an application that allows the initial configuration of a Cisco device.

The kernel links the hardware drivers with the underlying electronics of a computer.

It provides a user interface that allows users to request a specific task.

 

13. Which command or key combination allows a user to return to the previous level in the command hierarchy?

Ctrl-Z

end

Ctrl-C

exit

 

14. Match the definitions to their respective CLI hot keys and shortcuts. (Not all options are used.)

Match the definitions to their respective CLI hot keys and shortcuts

tab -> completes abbreviated commands and parameters

space bar -> displays the next screen

Up Arrow -> scrolls backwards through previously entered commands

? -> provides context-sensitive help

Ctrl-Shift-6 -> aborts commands such as trace and ping

 

15. How does the service password-encryption command enhance password security on Cisco routers and switches?

It encrypts passwords as they are sent across the network.

It requires encrypted passwords to be used when connecting remotely to a router or switch with Telnet.

It requires that a user type encrypted passwords to gain console access to a router or switch.

It encrypts passwords that are stored in router or switch configuration files.

 

16. Which interface is the default SVI on a Cisco switch?

VLAN 99

GigabitEthernet 0/1

FastEthernet 0/1

VLAN 1

 

17. Which two host names follow the guidelines for naming conventions on Cisco IOS devices? (Choose two.)

HO Floor 17

SwBranch799

Floor(15)

Branch2!

18. A router has a valid operating system and a configuration file stored in NVRAM. The configuration file contains an enable secret password but no console password. When the router boots up, which mode will display?

privileged EXEC mode

global configuration mode

user EXEC mode

setup mode

 

19. Why would a Layer 2 switch need an IP address?

to enable the switch to send broadcast frames to attached PCs

to enable the switch to function as a default gateway

to enable the switch to be managed remotely

to enable the switch to receive frames from attached PCs

 

20. A technician is adding a new PC to a LAN. After unpacking the components and making all the connections, the technician starts the PC. After the OS loads, the technician opens a browser, and verifies that the PC can reach the Internet. Why was the PC able to connect to the network with no additional configuration?

The PC does not require any additional information to function on the network.

The PC was preconfigured to use DHCP.

The PC came preconfigured with IP addressing information from the factory.

The PC used DNS to automatically receive IP addressing information from a server.

The PC virtual interface is compatible with any network.

 

21. Refer to the exhibit. What three facts can be determined from the viewable output of the show ip interface brief command? (Choose three.)
