[ 8 points ]
1. Which two features of enterprise class equipment assists an
enterprise network in maintaining 99.999 percent up-time? (Choose
two.)
a failover capabilities
b collapsed core
c redundant power supplies
d failure domains
e services module
2. How can an enterprise network be designed to optimize bandwidth?
a by installing devices with failover capabilities
b by limiting the size of failure domains
c by deploying a collapsed core model
d by organizing the network to control traffic patterns
3. What network design would contain the scope of disruptions on a
network should a failure occur?
a the installation of only enterprise class equipment throughout the
network
b the configuration of all access layer devices to share a single gateway
c the reduction in the number of redundant devices and connections in
the network core

the deployment of distribution layer switches in pairs and the division

of access layer switch connections between them
4. A network administrator is planning redundant devices and cabling
in a switched network to support high availability. Which benefit will
implementing the Spanning Tree Protocol provide to this design?
a Multiple physical interfaces can be combined into a single
EtherChannel interface.
b Redundant paths can be available without causing logical Layer 2
loops.
c Network access can be expanded to support both wired and wireless
devices.
d Faster convergence is available for advanced routing protocols.

5. As the network administrator you have been asked to implement

EtherChannel on the corporate network. What does this
configuration consist of?
a providing redundant links that dynamically block or forward traffic
b grouping multiple physical ports to increase bandwidth between two
switches
c grouping two devices to share a virtual IP address
d providing redundant devices to allow traffic to flow in the event of
device failure
6. In which situation would a network administrator install a Cisco
Nexus Series or Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switch to promote
infrastructure scalability?
a to enable virtual stacking of switches to provide cloud-managed access
b on a service provider network to promote integrated security, and
simplified management
c on a data center network to provide expansion and transport flexibility
d on a campus LAN network as access layer switches
7. What term is used to express the thickness or height of a switch?
a rack unit
b port density
c domain size
d module size
8. What are two functions of a router? (Choose two.)
a It connects multiple IP networks.
b It controls the flow of data via the use of Layer 2 addresses.
c It determines the best path to send packets.
d It manages the VLAN database.
e It increases the size of the broadcast domain.
9. Immediately after a router completes its boot sequence, the network
administrator wants to check the routers configuration. From
privileged EXEC mode, which of the following commands can the
administrator use for this purpose? (Choose two.)
a show flash
b show NVRAM
c show startup-config

d
e

show running-config
show version
10.
What could be the effect of duplicate unicast frames arriving at
a destination device due to multiple active alternative physical
paths?
a Frame collisions increase.
b The number of broadcast domains increases.
c Application protocols malfunction.
d The number of collision domains increases.
11.
Which three components are combined to form a bridge ID?
a port ID
b IP address
c extended system ID
d MAC address
e bridge priority
f cost
12.
Which STP port role is adopted by a switch port if there is no
other port with a lower cost to the root bridge?
a designated port
b root port
c alternate
d disabled port
13.
What is an advantage of PVST+?
a PVST+ requires fewer CPU cycles for all the switches in the network.
b PVST+ reduces bandwidth consumption compared to traditional
implementations of STP that use CST.
c PVST+ optimizes performance on the network through autoselection of
the root bridge.
d PVST+ optimizes performance on the network through load sharing.
14.
Which STP priority configuration would ensure that a switch
would always be the root switch?
a spanning-tree vlan 10 priority 0
b spanning-tree vlan 10 priority 61440
c spanning-tree vlan 10 root primary
d spanning-tree vlan 10 priority 4096
15.
Which two network design features require Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) to ensure correct network operation? (Choose two.)
a static default routes
b implementing VLANs to contain broadcasts
c redundant links between Layer 2 switches
d link-state dynamic routing that provides redundant routes
e removing single points of failure with multiple Layer 2 switches
16.
What value determines the root bridge when all switches
connected by trunk links have default STP configurations?
a VLAN ID
b MAC address
c extended system ID
d bridge priority
