SECTION A: ATTEMPT ALL QUESTIONS /50 MARKS
Question 1: Classify types of routing protocols. (5marks)

Answer:
Static Routes: /2marks

Static routing is a form of routing that occurs when a router uses a manually
configured routing entry, rather than information from dynamic routing traffic.
Default Routes: is where the packet is forwarded to when no specific route can
be determined for a given Internet Protocol (IP) destination address. /2mark
Dynamic Routing: is a technique in which a router learns about routing
information without an administrator's help and adds the best route to its
routing table. /1mark

or action of verifying the identity of a user or process. /1Mark
B. Confidentiality: Data confidentiality is about protecting data
against unintentional, unlawful, or unauthorized access,
disclosure, or theft. Confidentiality has to do with the privacy of
information, including authorizations to view, share, and use it.

LO1.2: Configure Static and default route
Question 23. Determine the different ways to manage a router. (3marks)
Answer:
A. Non- network /2marks
Console port: by connecting the router’s console port to a workstation through

a console cable
The console port is the management port which is used by administrators to log
into a router directly without using a network connection. You require a
terminal emulator application like HyperTerminal or putty to connect to router.
Auxiliary port: by using a remote computer through a modem that calls

another modem connected to the router with a cable using the auxiliary port on
the router.

Auxiliary port (AUX Port) allows a direct, non-network connection to the router,
from a remote location.
B. Over the network/ 1Mark

The routers can be managed over the network by using standard TCP/IP
protocols like Telnet, SSH, HTTP or HTTPS.
 Telnet: a Telnet client and server application ships with Cisco’s IOS
software
 SSH: SSH is a more secure way to configure routers, since the SSH
communication is encrypted.
 HTTP or HTTPS: Cisco IOS also has a HTTP server to managed web
based communication with the router.

Question 25. Question 25. UMUNYINYA Bar has routing problems in its
network configuration, the problems are: Overlapping IP Address, invalid IP
address, bad mask, network interface does not become active and the
message are Attempted or Failed’. The Head of NETWORKING Department in
UMUNYINYA Bar requested you as an IT Technician to explain those above-
mentioned problems. (5marks)
ANSWER:
A. An overlapping IP address occurs when an IP address is
assigned to more than one device on a network. This can
happen if you have identical subnets in different locations
monitored by different DHCP servers on the same network.
/1mark
B. The message "Invalid IP Address" indicates a problem with your
computer's network setup. Without a valid IP address, your
computer cannot use the network. /1mark
C. Bad mask? If the network you are currently on is a class C, the
subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0 and info in that packet
looks to be destined for a mask of 255.255. 255.252. Therefore,
it cannot communicate with that packet and flags is “bad”.
/1mark
D. Network interface does not become active I used system-
config-network-guide to config & enable Ethernet interface.
Problem is, when the system starts, the Ethernet
does not become enabled. /1mark

Question 28: Explain the following terms and give one (1) example for each.
a. Unicast:
b. Multicast:
c. Broadcast: (3marks)

ANSWER:
a) Unicast: It is one to one communication or is a type of communication,

where there is only one sender and one receiver. /1mark
Example:
 Browsing a website. Web server is the sender and your computer is the
receiver
 Downloading a file from FTP Server FTP Server is the sender and your
computer is receiver
b) Multicast: is group communication where data transmission is addressed to

a group of destination computers simultaneously. Multicast can be one-to-
many or many-to-many distribution.
Examples: Group admin (whatSapp) can send sms to the selected persons.
c) Broadcast: In broadcast, there is only one sender and a data is sent only
once. But the broadcast data is delivered to all connected devices
Example: Switches by design will forward the broadcast traffic and routers by
design will drop the broadcast traffic

Question 29. Sketch diagram to show how MAN is designed. (2marks)
Answer:

323 Page curriculum level 4 YEAR 2014
Question 30. List and explain IOS Configuration mode. (3marks)
ANSWER:
1. User executive mode /
This is the main or the first mode that one can access on a router. It is limited
to few verification and troubleshooting commands. By default, authentication is
not required but as best practice we will configure security so as to ensure
protection of our routers.
On accessing the router, you will notice the prompt that ends with this symbol
“>” after the router’s name. By default the name of the router is usually
“Router“. This prompt is shown below.
Router>
In this mode, we can view basic information using the “show” command.
2. Privileged executive mode /
This is the second mode in the IOS CLI. In this mode, we can view various
troubleshooting and verification commands such as “show and debug“. By
default, this mode is also not secured, as best practice we will also secure this
mode using a password.
This mode is denoted by the HASH (#) symbol proceeded by the name of the
router. To enter this mode, we issue the command “enable” from the user exec
mode.

Router#
NOTE: To move from the user exec mode to the privileged mode the command –
“enable” should be entered from the user exec mode.
The “disable” command is used to exit the privileged exec mode and return to
the user exec mode.
3. Global configuration mode /
The main configuration on a router is executed in this mode. Parameters such

as the router’s name, ip domain lookup, banners among others can be
configured. In this mode, we can also gain access to other specific configuration
parameters such as interface configuration.
The global configuration mode is shown by the prompt: (config)# as shown

below:
Router (config)#
NOTE: To enter this mode from the privileged exec mode we enter the
command: “Configure terminal”
To exit we to the privileged mode we enter the command: “exit”
4. Specific configuration mode. /
There are other specific configuration modes on the router. These are entered in
the global configuration mode and are used to configure various functions and
options on the router such as the interfaces, routing options, console lines
among others. The specific configuration mode commands will be discussed
progressively throughout the course.
