1. A network administrator is troubleshooting connectivity issues on a server.

Using a tester,
the administrator notices that the signals generated by the server NIC are distorted and
not usable. In which layer of the OSI model is the error categorized?

2. presentation layer
3. network layer
4. physical layer
5. data link layer

2. Which characteristic of the network layer in the OSI model allows carrying packets for
multiple types of communications amongmany hosts?

 the de-encapsulation of headers from lower layers

 the selection of paths for and direct packets toward the destination
 the ability to operate without regard to the data that is carried in each packet
 the ability to manage the data transport between processes running on hosts

What will a Layer 2 switch do when the destination MAC address of a received frame is
not in the MAC table?
 It initiates an ARP request.
 It broadcasts the frame out of all ports on the switch.
 It notifies the sending host that the frame cannot be delivered.
 It forwards the frame out of all ports except for the port at which the frame was
received.

Transport layer is a segment, at the Network layer is a packet, and at the Data Link layer is a
frame.

What is the purpose of the subnet mask in conjunction with an IP address ?

ANS; With the IPv4 address, a subnet mask is also necessary. A subnet mask is
a special type of IPv4 address that coupled with the IP address determines
the subnet of which the device is a member

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