- 4096
8. Refer to the exhibit. Based on the IP configuration shown, what would be the result of Host A and Host B attempting to communicate outside the network segment?
- both host A and B would be successful
- host A would be successful, host B would fail
- host B would be successful, host A would fail
- both Host A and B would fail
9. Refer to the exhibit. What destination IP address will PC1 place in the header for a packet destined for PC2?
- 192.168.1.1
- 192.168.2.1
- 192.168.2.2
- 192.168.3.1
- 192.168.3.54
10. Refer to the exhibit. Which three statements identify the type of cabling that would be used in the segments that are shown? (Choose three.)
- Segment 1 uses backbone cabling.
- Segment 1 uses a patch cable.
- Segment 3 uses patch cabling.
- Segment 3 uses vertical cabling.
- Segment 3 uses horizontal cabling.
- Segment 4 uses vertical cabling.
11. A company is planning to subnet its network for a maximum of 27 hosts. Which subnet mask would provide the needed hosts and leave the fewest unused addresses in each subnet?
- 255.255.255.0
- 255.255.255.192
- 255.255.255.224
- 255.255.255.240
- 255.255.255.248
12. Refer to the exhibit. A student is setting up a home network primarily used for extensive file transfers, streaming video, and gaming. Which network device is best suited to these types of activities in the topology shown?
- wireless access point
- router
- hub
- switch
13. Refer to the exhibit. How many subnets are required to support the network that is shown?
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
14. What does the term “attenuation” mean in data communication?
- loss of signal strength as distance increases
- time for a signal to reach its destination
- leakage of signals from one cable pair to another
- strengthening of a signal by a networking device
Explanation: Data is transmitted on copper cables as electrical pulses. A detector in the network interface of a destination device must receive a signal that can be successfully decoded to match the signal sent. However, the farther the signal travels, the more it deteriorates. This is referred to as signal attenuation.
15. To establish a console connection from a computer to a Cisco router, which cable wiring option would be used?
- crossover cable
- straight through cable
- rollover cable
- V.35 cable
16. What makes fiber preferable to copper cabling for interconnecting buildings? (Choose three.)
- greater distances per cable run
- lower installation cost
- limited susceptibility to EMI/RFI
- durable connections
- greater bandwidth potential
- easily terminated
Explanation: Optical fiber cable transmits data over longer distances and at higher bandwidths than any other networking media. Unlike copper wires, fiber-optic cable can transmit signals with less attenuation and is completely immune to EMI and RFI.
17. Refer to the exhibit. A network technician has been allocated the 192.168.1.0/24 private IP address range for use in the network that shown in the exhibit. Which subnet mask would be used to meet the host requirements for segment A of this internetwork?
