1. A company is developing an Internet store for its website. Which protocol should be used to transfer credit card information from customers to the company web server?

  • FTPS
  • HTTP
  • HTTPS
  • WEP2
  • TFTP

Explanation: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) provides web connectivity and website services. HTTP does not use encryption when transmitting content, leaving the data in transit vulnerable to monitoring and attack. HTTPS uses SSL/TLS to encrypt communication between the client and the server, thus providing confidentiality and preventing eavesdropping and tampering.

  • This port is currently up.
  • The port is configured as a trunk link.
  • There is no device currently connected to this port.
  • Three security violations have been detected on this interface.
  • The switch port mode for this interface is access mode.
  • Security violations will cause this port to shut down immediately.

Explanation: Because the security violation count is at 0, no violation has occurred. The system shows that 3 MAC addresses are allowed on port fa0/2, but only one has been configured and no sticky MAC addresses have been learned. The port is up because of the port status of secure-up. The violation mode is what happens when an unauthorized device is attached to the port. A port must be in access mode in order to activate and use port security.

When questioned, the systems engineer responds that the switches recommended by the designer cannot be purchased within the budget limitations of the customer. Which action should the account manager take?

  • Inform the customer that the project cannot be completed given the unreasonable budget constraints.
  • Communicate any risks associated with the equipment substitution and obtain customer approval to proceed.
  • Because the customer is probably aware that the budget limitations will require lower cost, less capable equipment, the account manager should do nothing.

87. Refer to the exhibit. Based on the EIGRP configuration that is shown, what can the field engineer conclude about the EIGRP authentication between RouterA and RouterB?

CCNA Discovery 4: DCompNtwk Final Exam Answers v4.0 21

  • Authentication will fail because only one key is configured.
  • Authentication will fail because the key chain names do not match.
  • Authentication will succeed and EIGRP updates can be exchanged.
  • Authentication will fail because the key chain names must match the router names.

Explanation: Authentication ensures that only authorized routers are eligible to become EIGRP neighbors. A precomputed password hash is encrypted by using a MD5 authentication and it is included with all EIGRP packets. The hash is computed using the key number and the key string. The receiving router decrypts the hash. If the passwords do not match for a packet, the routers will not become neighbors. In this scenario, the key number and the key string are the same on both routers. Therefore, they will become neighbors.

  • Inverse-ARP is used to add an entry for 10.1.1.1 into the Frame Relay map table using DLCI 22.
  • A Layer 2 address is statically mapped to a Layer 3 address.
  • RTA uses DLCI 22 to forward data to 10.1.1.1.
