7.
Which three statements are true regarding LCP? (Choose three.)
It is responsible for negotiating link establishment.
It negotiates options for Layer 3 protocols running over PPP.
It uses MD5 encryption while negotiating link-establishment parameters.
It terminates the link upon user request or the expiration of an inactivity timer.
It can test the link to determine if link quality is sufficient to bring up the link.
It monitors the link for congestion and dynamically adjusts the acceptable window size.

8.
Why are Frame Relay paths referred to as virtual?
 Frame Relay PVCs are created and discarded on demand.
The connections between PVC endpoints act like dialup circuits.
There are no dedicated circuits to and from the Frame Relay carrier.
The physical circuits inside the Frame Relay cloud do not contain exclusive links for a specific Frame Rel
connection.
