10.4.7 Lab – Identify IPv6 Addresses Answers
12.2.4 Lab – Observe DNS Name Resolution Answers
1. Which three types of nodes should be assigned static IP addresses on a
network? (Choose three.)
o servers
o desktop PCs
o mobile laptops
o printers
o gateways
o tablets
Answers Explanation & Hints:
Servers, printers, and intermediary devices, such as routers, switches, and access points should have
statically assigned IP addresses so that they are accessible to users and available for remote
management.
2. Why is DHCP for IPv4 preferred for use on large networks?
o Large networks send more requests for domain to IP address resolution than do smaller networks.
o DHCP uses a reliable transport layer protocol.
o It prevents sharing of files that are copyrighted.
o It is a more efficient way to manage IPv4 addresses than static address assignment is.
o Hosts on large networks require more IPv4 addressing configuration settings than do hosts on small
networks.
Static IPv4 address assignment requires personnel to configure each network host with addresses
manually. Large networks can change frequently and have many more hosts to configure than do small
networks. DHCP provides a much more efficient means of configuring and managing IPv4 addresses
on large networks than does static address assignment.
3. Refer to the exhibit. PC1 is configured to obtain a dynamic IP address from

the DHCP server. PC1 has been shut down for two weeks. When PC1 boots
and tries to request an available IP address, which destination IP address will
PC1 place in the IP header?
Modules 9 – 12
Data Communications and Network Services Group Exam Answers 01
o 192.168.1.1
o 192.168.1.8
o 192.168.1.255
o 255.255.255.255
When a host boots and has been configured for dynamic IP addressing, the device tries to obtain a valid
IP address. It sends a DHCPDISCOVER message. This is a broadcast message because the DHCP
server address is unknown (by design). The destination IP address in the IP header is 255.255.255.255
and the destination MAC address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
4. Which message does an IPv4 host use to reply when it receives a

DHCPOFFER message from a DHCP server?
o DHCPACK
o DHCPDISCOVER
o DHCPOFFER
o DHCPREQUEST
When the client receives the DHCPOFFER from the server, it sends back a DHCPREQUEST
broadcast message. On receiving the DHCPREQUEST message, the server replies with a unicast
DHCPACK message.
5. A host PC is attempting to lease an address through DHCP. What message is

sent by the server to let the client know it is able to use the provided IP
information?
o DHCPDISCOVER
o DHCPOFFER
o DHCPREQUEST
o DHCPACK
o DHCPNACK
When a host uses DHCP to automatically configure an IP address, the typically sends two messages:
the DHCPDISCOVER message and the DHCPREQUEST message. These two messages are usually
sent as broadcasts to ensure that all DHCP servers receive them. The servers respond to these messages
using DHCPOFFER, DHCPACK, and DHCPNACK messages, depending on the circumstance.
6. How is a DHCPDISCOVER transmitted on a network to reach a DHCP

server?
o A DHCPDISCOVER message is sent with the IP address of the DHCP server as the destination
address.
o A DHCPDISCOVER message is sent with a multicast IP address that all DHCP servers listen to as the
destination address.
o A DHCPDISCOVER message is sent with the broadcast IP address as the destination address.
o A DHCPDISCOVER message is sent with the IP address of the default gateway as the destination
address.
The DHCPDISCOVER message is sent by a DHCPv4 client and targets a broadcast IP along with the
destination port 67. The DHCPv4 server or servers respond to the DHCPv4 clients by targeting port 68.
7. A DHCP server is used to assign IP addresses dynamically to the hosts on a

network. The address pool is configured with 172.30.8.0/24. There are 7
printers on this network that need to use reserved static IP addresses from the
pool. How many IP addresses in the pool are left to be assigned to other hosts?
o 254
o 247
o 251
o 249
If the block of addresses allocated to the pool is 172.30.8.0/24, there are 254 IP addresses to be
assigned to hosts on the network. As there are 7 printers which need to have their addresses assigned
statically, then there are 247 IP addresses left for assignment.
8. An employee is having connectivity issues. Why might a network technician

try to ping the default gateway from the employee laptop?
o to verify that an IP address was provided by the DHCP server

o to determine if the laptop address is included in the DNS server
o to verify that the SVI interface on the switch is configured correctly
o to verify connectivity with the device that provides access to remote networks
The default gateway address is usually the address of the router interface. The router provides access to
remote networks, so a successful ping to the default gateway would mean that the laptop is able to
communicate with the router.
9. What is the result if the default gateway address is misconfigured on a PC?

o The PC cannot communicate with any devices.
o The PC can communicate with devices both in remote networks and in the same network.
o The PC can communicate with devices in the same network but not with those in remote networks.
o The PC can communicate with devices in remote networks but not with those in the same network.
The default gateway for a PC is the closest networking device that can forward traffic to other
networks. If a PC has an incorrect or nonexistent default gateway address, it will not be able to
communicate with devices in remote networks. However, communication would occur between
devices in the same network with or without a default gateway.
10. Which statement accurately describes dynamic NAT?
o It always maps a private IP address to a public IP address.

o It provides an automated mapping of inside local to inside global IP addresses.
o It provides a mapping of internal host names to IP addresses.
o It dynamically provides IP addressing to internal hosts.
Dynamic NAT provides a dynamic mapping of inside local to inside global IP addresses. NAT is
merely the one-to-one mapping of one address to another address without taking into account whether
the address is public or private. DHCP is automatic assignment of IP addresses to hosts. DNS is
mapping host names to IP addresses.
11. What purpose does NAT64 serve in IPv6?
o It converts IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets.

o It translates private IPv6 addresses into public IPv6 addresses.
o It enables companies to use IPv6 unique local addresses in the network.
o It converts regular IPv6 addresses into 64-bit addresses that can be used on the Internet.
o It converts the 48-bit MAC address into a 64-bit host address that can be used for automatic host
addressing.
NAT64 is typically used in IPv6 when networks are being transitioned from IPv4 to IPv6. It allows the
IPv6 networks to connect to IPv4 networks (such as the Internet), and works by translating the IPv6
packets into IPv4 packets.
12. Which type of IPv6 address is not routable and used only for communication
on a single subnet?
o global unicast address

o link-local address
o loopback address
o unique local address
o unspecified address
Link-local addresses have relevance only on the local link. Routers will not forward packets that
include a link-local address as either the source or destination address.
13. How many bits make up the single IPv6 hextet :10CD:?
o 4
o 8
o 16
o 32
A hextet consists of 4 hexadecimal characters. Each hexadecimal character is represented by four bits,
giving a total of 16 bits.
14. What is the valid most compressed format possible of the IPv6 address
2001:0DB8:0000:AB00:0000:0000:0000:1234?
o 2001:DB8:0:AB00::1234
o 2001:DB8:0:AB::1234
o 2001:DB8::AB00::1234
o 2001:DB8:0:AB:0:1234
There are two rules defining how an IPv6 address can be compressed. The first rule states that leading
zeros in a hextet can be eliminated. The second rule states that a single :: can be used to represent one
or more contiguous all zero hextets. There can be one and only one :: in an IPv6 address.
15. Which three pieces of information are identified by a URL? (Choose three.)
o the MAC address of the web server

o the protocol that is being used
o the domain name that is being accessed
o the IP address of the gateway
o the version of the browser
o the location of the resource
URLs are used to access specific content on a web server through a web browser. The URL identifies
the protocol that is being used such as HTTP or FTP, the domain of the server, and the location of the
resource on the server.
16. What is an advantage of UDP over TCP?
o UDP communication requires less overhead.

o UDP communication is more reliable.
o UDP reorders segments that are received out of order.
o UDP acknowledges received data.
TCP is a more reliable protocol and uses sequence numbers to realign packets that arrive out of order at
the destination. Both UDP and TCP use port numbers to identify applications. UDP has less overhead
than TCP because the UDP header has fewer bytes and UDP does not confirm the receipt of packets.
17. Which type of applications are best suited to use UDP as the transport layer
protocol?
o applications that require flow control

o applications that require data to be reassembled in a specific order
o applications that require minimal transmission delay
o applications that require stateful sessions
UDP is a light-weight connectionless protocol that is well-suited for applications that are susceptible to
delay or that do not need the features provided by TCP (guaranteed delivery, flow control, or
sequencing).
18. What layer of the TCP/IP suite makes sure that all the data packets of a
message arrive safely at the destination?
o internet
o transport
o application
o network access
The transport layer is responsible for managing the delivery of packets. TCP monitors the packets and
if a packet is missing, it will request that it be sent again.
19. How does a client computer determine what source port number to assign to a
UDP header?
o The port number is random within the range of dynamic port numbers.
o The port number is based on the application that created the data.
o The port number is based on a well-known port number that is open on the destination device.
o The port number is based on a well-known port number that is assigned to the application on the
sending device.
The destination port number is normally a well-known or registered port number that is open on the
destination device such as a server. The source port is randomly generated by the client computer from
the 49152 to 65535 range.
20. What is a socket?
o the combination of the source and destination IP address and source and destination Ethernet address
o the combination of a source IP address and port number or a destination IP address and port number
o the combination of the source and destination sequence and acknowledgment numbers
o the combination of the source and destination sequence numbers and port numbers
A socket is a combination of the source IP address and source port or the destination IP address and the
destination port number.
21. What is the purpose of using a source port number in a TCP communication?
o to notify the remote device that the conversation is over

o to assemble the segments that arrived out of order
o to keep track of multiple conversations between devices
o to inquire for a nonreceived segment
The source port number in a segment header is used to keep track of multiple conversations between
devices. It is also used to keep an open entry for the response from the server. The incorrect options are
more related to flow control and guaranteed delivery.
22. Which two protocols are used in the process of sending and receiving emails?
(Choose two.)
o HTTP
o POP
o SSH
o SMTP
o FTP
POP and SMTP are protocols used for email. POP is Post Office Protocol and is used by clients to
retrieve email messages from a server. SMTP is Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and is used by clients
to send email messages to a server.
23. What is a function of a DNS server?
o It determines the IP address that is associated with a specific host domain name.
o It maps IP addresses to physical addresses.
o It translates private IP addresses to public IP addresses.
o It assigns logical address information to host computers.
Hosts are assigned with IP addresses in order to communicate over the network. Hosts are registered
with domain names so people can remember and recognize them easily. However, computers are
connected through their IP addresses. DNS provides the service to map the domain name to its IP
address.
24. Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instructions and then
answer the question.
Modules 9 – 12 Data Communications and Network Services Group Exam Answers PT 002
What is the IP address of this server?
o 192.168.10.1
o 192.168.10.100
o 209.165.201.3
o 209.165.201.4
The DNS server resolves Internet names to associated IP addresses.
25. Match the term to a function.

26. Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instructions and then
answer the question.
Modules 9 – 12 Data Communications and Network Services Group Exam Answers PT 001
What message is displayed on the webpage?
o A secure web server is the way to go!

o A web server should run secure services!
o A web server provides secure communication!
o A secure web server is running!
Because the HQ web server runs a secure web service, the protocol HTTPS must be used to access the
website. This means that the URL of https://www.cisco.com must be used to access the HQ web server
and locate the message.
27. Which two applications provide virtual terminal access to remote servers?
(Choose two.)
o SSH
o DNS
o DHCP
o SMTP
o Telnet
Telnet and SSH are two services that provide virtual terminal services to servers. DNS maps a domain
name to its IP address. DHCP provides dynamic IP addressing information. SMTP provides email
service.
28. What type of server would use IMAP?
o DNS
o DHCP
o email
o FTP
o Telnet
SMTP, IMAP, and POP are three application layer protocols for email applications.
