Here you will find answers to CCNA – Basic Questions

Question 1

For which type of connection should a straight-through cable be used?

A. switch to switch

B. switch to hub

C. switch to router

D. hub to hub

E. router to PC

 

Answer: C

Explanation

To specify when we use crossover cable or straight-through cable, we should remember:

Group 1: Router, Host, Server

Group 2: Hub, Switch

One device in group 1 + One device in group 2: use straight-through cable

Two devices in the same group: use crossover cable

In this case we can use straight-through cable to connect a switch to a router -> C is correct.

Question 2

Which type of cable is used to connect the COM port of a host to the COM port of a router or switch?

A. crossover

B. straight-through

C. rolled

D. shielded twisted-pair

 

Answer: C

Explanation

The correct question should be “Which type of cable is used to connect the COM port of a host to the CONSOLE port of a router or switch?” and the correct answer is rollover cable. But we can’t plug this rollover cable directly into our host because it will not work. We often use a RJ45 to DB9 Female cable converter as shown below:

Question 3

What is the first 24 bits in a MAC address called?

A. NIC

B. BIA

C. OUI

D. VAI

 

Answer: C

Explanation

Organizational Unique Identifier (OUI) is the first 24 bits of a MAC address for a network device, which indicates the specific vendor for that device as assigned by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Incorporated (IEEE). This identifier uniquely identifies a vendor, manufacturer, or an organization.

Question 4

In an Ethernet network, under what two scenarios can devices transmit? (Choose two)

A. when they receive a special token

B. when there is a carrier

C. when they detect no other devices are sending

D. when the medium is idle

E. when the server grants access

 

Answer: C D

Explanation

Ethernet network is a shared environment so all devices have the right to access to the medium. If more than one device transmits simultaneously, the signals collide and can not reach the destination.

If a device detects another device is sending, it will wait for a specified amount of time before attempting to transmit.

When there is no traffic detected, a device will transmit its message. While this transmission is occurring, the device continues to listen for traffic or collisions on the LAN. After the message is sent, the device returns to its default listening mode.

So we can see C and D are the correct answers. But in fact “answer C – when they detect no other devices are sending” and “when the medium is idle” are nearly the same.

Question 5

Which two benefits are provided by using a hierarchical addressing network addressing scheme? (Choose two)

A. reduces routing table entries

B. auto-negotiation of media rates

C. efficient utilization of MAC addresses

D. dedicated communications between devices

E. ease of management and troubleshooting

 

Answer: A E

 

Question 6

When a host transmits data across a network to another host, which process does the data go through?

A. standardization

B. conversion

C. encapsulation

D. synchronization

 

Answer: C

Explanation

To transmit to another host, a host must go through the TCP/IP model (very similar to the OSI model). At each layer, the message is encapsulated with that layer’s header (and trailer if it has). This process is called encapsulation.

Question 7

Which two Ethernet fiber-optic modes support distances of greater than 550 meters?

A. 1000BASE-CX

B. 100BASE-FX

C. 1000BASE-LX

D. 1000BASE-SX

E. 1000BASE-ZX

 

Answer: C E

Explanation

Below lists the cabling standards mentioned above

Standard Cabling Maximum length
1000BASE-CX Twinaxial cabling 25 meters
100BASE-FX Two strands, multimode 400 m
1000BASE-LX Long-wavelength laser, MM orSM fiber 10 km (SM)3 km (MM)
1000BASE-SX Short-wavelength laser, MM fiber 220 m with 62.5-micron fiber; 550 mwith 50-micron fiber
1000BASE-ZX Extended wavelength, SM fiber 100 km

Note:

+ MM: Multimode

+ SM: Single-mode

(Reference: The official self-study test preparation guide to the Cisco CCNA INTRO exam 640-821)

Question 8

Refer to the exhibit. What type of connection would be supported by the cable diagram shown?

Pin Color Function Pin Color Function
1 White/Green TX+ 1 White/Green TX+
2 Green TX- 2 Green TX-
3 White/Orange RX+ 3 White/Orange RX+
6 Orange RX- 6 Orange RX-

A. PC to router

B. PC to switch

C. server to router

D. router to router

 

Answer: B

Explanation

From the “Pin” and “Color” in the exhibit we know that this is a straight-through cable so it can be used to connect PC to switch.

Question 9

Refer to the exhibit. What type of connection would be supported by the cable diagram shown?

Pin Color Function Pin Color Function
1 White/Green TX+ 3 White/Green RX+
2 Green TX- 6 Green RX-
3 White/Orange RX+ 1 White/Orange TX+
6 Orange RX- 2 Orange TX-

A. PC to router

B. PC to switch

C. server to switch

D. switch to router

 

Answer: A

Explanation

This is a crossover cable so it can be used to connect PC and router.

Question 10

Which two topologies are using the correct type of twisted-pair cables? (Choose two)

A. connection_pc_switch.jpg

B. connection_router_pc.jpg

C. connection_switch_router.jpg

D. connection_switch_pc.jpg

E. connection_switch_switch.jpg

 

Answer: D E

    @md belal hossain
    hierarchical addressing…
    let’s say you have these 4 routers: R1, R2, R3, R4.

    you would chose subnets that make it easier for you to identify which subnet is connected to which router. this is for easier troubleshooting and management obviously.

    you have these networks connected to R1:
    10.1.0.0/24
    10.1.1.0/24
    10.1.5.0/24

    you have these networks connected to R2:
    10.2.0.0/24
    10.2.1.0/24
    10.2.2.0/23

    same for R3 and R4
    you get the picture?

    same thing goes for ospf areas.
    you would use the value of that area within the subnet address.
    10.7.0.0/16 for area 17
    10.5.0.0/23 for area 5
    and so on

    but… why?
    because you’d only have to advertise 10.1.0.0/16 for area 1
    10.7.0.0/16 for area 7
    and so on.
    in other words you can use a vast subnet mask without caring if there are unallocated subnets within that address space because those subnets would be used behind that particular router or within the specified area anyway.

    note: ospf summarization is done only at the area border router, eigrp summarization is done per interface.

    May 4th, 2012

    Thank to Jehovah !

    Yesterday was my CCNA exam…and I passed with 986/1000 score. Lab’s: VTP(Four questions from this page, really the same questions); EIGRP( The same question and the passive interface in the ISP link that we don’t have to take) and the ACL 2 (this lab you should learn the subject “ACL” because the questions are variated a lot but with the same essence from lab 9tut). My personal TIP: 1º you should choose just one dump(in my case it was the Jericho 632) and repeat its untill you reaching between 900 and 1000. 2º step: You should viewing all questions from the 9tut’s link and keep doing the dump. Everyday step 1º plus 2º step. And the 3º step is select the betther dumps and select 50 questions with 30 minuts to response them. You should alternate the dumps. With 4 months you will be completely prepared. Understand the questions, you shouldn´t memorize them. Read the tutorials and the some literature. Good Luck and good preparation! QUESTION 5 IN WAS IN MY EXAM.

    I just got a perfect score 1000/1000 last may 2, just read all and understand the questions here in 9tut. If you encounter a new question, be sure to use elimination method to find the answer. I means, look for every possible answer and eliminate those are not connected to the question. Thanks 9tut!=D
