CCENT Final Exam 1 50 Question Set
Question 1: (QID=2961)
We want to assign port 3 of our Catalyst 2950 switch to VLAN 3. What command will
achieve this?
1. switch(config)#switchport access vlan 3
2. switch#switchport access vlan 3
3. switch(config-if)#switchport vlan 3
4. switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan

Correct answer(s): 4
Explanation: The switchport access vlan [number] command will configure a switch
port to that VLAN. You can also use the switchport access vlan dynamic command to
configure the switch port automatically in a certain VLAN depending on the VLAN
membership of the incoming packets. For both commands to work properly the switch
port needs to be in access mode.
[Implement a small switched network]

Which command will allow only ssh connections to the router?
1. transport input telnet ssh
2. transport input ssh
3. transport ssh
4. transport ssh enable

Explanation: The transport input ssh line configuration commands allows ssh
connections only to the router.

Which utility would we use to test all 7 OSI layers?
1. Ping
2. Trace route
3. Telnet
4. Show arp

Explanation: If we can telnet from one device to the other we have proven that the
routing (layer 3) and the physical layer are working properly. Since telnet is an
application layer utility it gives us confirmation that all 7 OSI layers are working
correctly between the two devices.

You are the network administrator and are given the tasks to plan for the future
expansion of the network. You decide to subnet the current network of 172.15.0.0.
What will be the subnet mask be if every subnet has to allocate 500 hosts.
1. 255.255.0.0
2. 255.0.0.0
3. 255.255.240.0
4. 255.255.254.0

Explanation: The requirement of having to allocate 500 hosts on each subnet can be
achieved by the following: 2^9 = 512. So deducting the broadcast and network
address we have 510 possible hosts on each subnet. We used 9 bits to allocate the
hosts, this leaves us 7 bits for possible subnets. Those 7 bits in binary is 1111 1110 or
254 in decimal.
[Implement an IP addressing scheme and IP services to meet network requirements
for a small branch office]

What address range is commonly used for testing purposes?
1. 10.0.0.0/16
2. Any available IP Address
3. 127.0.0.0/8
4. 240.0.0.0 255.255.255.255

Explanation: The 127.0.0.0/8 address range in the Class A range is a reserved address
range and used for testing purposes.

If we have multiple IOS versions on our router, how can we view which ones are
available?
1. Show version
2. Show memory
3. Show file systems
4. Show flash:

Explanation: The show flash: command displays the contents of the flash file system.
[Implement a small routed network]

What do you use when you want to display a message to all the terminals connected to
a router?
1. banner login
2. banner motd
3. banner exec
4. banner slip-ppp

Explanation: This MOTD banner is displayed to all terminals connected and is useful for
sending messages that affect all users (such as impending system shutdowns). Use the
no exec-banner or no motd-banner command to disable the MOTD banner on a line.
The no exec-banner command also disables the EXEC banner on the line. When a user
connects to the router, the MOTD banner appears before the login prompt. After the
user logs in to the router, the EXEC banner or incoming banner will be displayed,
depending on the type of connection. For a reverse Telnet login, the incoming banner
will be displayed. For all other connections, the router will display the EXEC banner.
Connection, Menu, and System Banner Commands

Given the following IP Address 172.16.0.0/27 what is the 4th subnets network
address, host range and broadcast address? The router is running IOS version 12.2.
1. Subnet address 172.16.1.0, host range 172.16.1.1 172.16.1.30, broadcast
address 172.16.1.31
address 172.16.0.159
address 172.16.0.127
address 172.16.0.159

Explanation: The default subnet mask for a class B address is /16 so we will have 11
bits for subnets.
12.2 is the IOS mentioned and that has the IP Subnet-Zero command enabled by
default.
So the total amount of subnets is 2^11 = 2048 subnets. On each subnet we will have
2^5 2 = 30 hosts on each subnet.
Now we will calculate the subnet ranges. The following table is the binary version of
the last octet.
subnet bits host bits IP address role
000 00000 172.16.0.0 1st subnet network address
000 00001 172.16.0.1 host # 1
000 00010 172.16.0.2 host # 2
000 11110 172.16.0.30 host # 30
000 11111 172.16.0.31 broadcast address for 1st subnet
001 00000 172.16.0.32 2nd subnet network address
001 00010 172.16.0.34 host # 2 on 2nd subnet
001 11111 172.16.0.63 broadcast address for 2nd subnet
010 00000 172.16.0.64 3rd subnet network address
010 11111 172.16.0.95 broadcast address 3rd subnet
011 00000 172.16.0.96 4th subnet network address
011 11111 172.16.0.127 broadcast address 4th subnet

Why would a network administrator implement VLANs?
1. Security
2. Higher latency
3. Performance enhancement
4. No more need for routers
5. Broadcast control

Explanation: Here are some common reasons that a company might have VLANs:
Security Separating systems with sensitive data from the rest of the network
decreases the chance that someone will gain access to information they are not
authorized to see.
Projects/Special applications Managing a project or working with a specialized
application can be simplified by the use of VLAN that brings all of the required nodes
together.
Performance/Bandwidth Careful monitoring of network use allows the network
administrator to create VLANs that reduce the number of router hops and increase the
apparent bandwidth for network users.
Broadcasts/Traffic flow Since a principle element of a VLAN is the fact that it does
not pass broadcast traffic to nodes that are not part of the VLAN, it automatically
reduces broadcasts. Access lists provide the network administrator with a way to
control who sees what network traffic. An access list is a table the network
administrator creates that lists what addresses have access to that network.
Departments/Specific job types Companies may want VLANs set up for departments
that are heavy network users (such as Multimedia or Engineering) or a VLAN across
departments that is dedicated to specific types of employees (such as managers or
sales people).

Which of the following describe full-duplex Ethernet?
1. it uses point-to-point connections
2. is limited to speeds of 100Mb
3. stations can transmit and receive at the same time
4. it uses point-to-multipoint connections

Explanation: Using full-duplex Ethernet makes it possible for devices to transmit and
receive at the same time which results in bandwidth optimization. Point-to-point
connections are used between the device and switch. The IEEE802.x committee
designed a standard for full duplex that covers 10BaseT, 100BaseX and 1000BaseX.

Which of the following would you use if you wanted to transfer data securely across the

3. RIP
4. EIGRP
5. BGP

Explanation: Interior protocols are used for routing networks that are under a common
network administration. All IP interior gateway protocols must be specified with a list of
associated networks before routing activities can begin. A routing process listens to
updates from other routers on these networks and broadcasts its own routing
information on those same networks. Cisco IOS software supports the following interior
routing protocols:
Internet Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP)
Enhanced Internet Gateway Routing Protocol (Enhanced IGRP)
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

various types of hardware & software can communicate with each other.
networks are more extensible.

Given the following network range 192.168.0.0/24. We want minimum 50 hosts on
each of the available subnets. What will be the subnet mask?
1. /24
2. /25
3. /26
4. /27

Explanation: 50 hosts require 6 bits of the last octet giving us 64 -2 = 62 possible
hosts this satisfies our requirement and leaves us 2 bits over for the subnets. The
default mask is /24 or 255.255.255.0 adding the 2 bits for the subnets it becomes
255.255.255.192 or /26.
