13. A network administrator is having issues with a newly installed network not appearing in other routers. At which layer of the OSI model is the network administrator going to start the troubleshooting process when using a top-down approach?

session

network

internet

application

transport

 

14. A user reports that after an OS patch of the networking subsystem has been applied to a workstation, it performs very slowly when connecting to network resources. A network technician tests the link with a cable analyzer and notices that the workstation sends an excessive number of frames smaller than 64 bytes and also other meaningless frames. What is the possible cause of the problem?

Ethernet signal attenuation

The other routers are not configured to accept LSA type 4s.

The ASBR does not have an OSPF neighbor.

The ASBR does not have OSPF configured.

The ASBR should use the exit_interface argument instead of next-hop on the default route.
