CCNA – Basic Questions
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. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
E. 
Answer: D E

ilovenetworking@hotmail.co.uk
Thank you very much 9tut for the explanations, techniques and answered questions. I passed the exam with 920/1000. This site is a very big help for candidates. More power!
i have 1 question who had pass CCNA 640-802.. sims was EIGRP,ALC2 and VTP.. so that was exact same question-answer given here in sims or was different question related to that topic..? plz reply
Guys got pass 881/1000 my advice to anyone who will take the exam, practice sim access-list 2, eigrp and vtp. Dont to rush to answer the question I assure you you can finish the exam not more than 1 hour. So read the question carefully. I encountered wireless, switch, routing and some of frame relay question ( in my case i encounter 3 question), 2 drop and drag. Must focus on sim question, ff you forgot what to do, just calm down and remember the command to be use. On eigrp, show ip protocols, show ip neigbors is enough on troubleshooting.
@Shubham actually the same scenerio, the only change is on EIGRP is the ip and AS number, on vtp the one we are reviewing here is the one on the exam (in my case), on ACL exactly same the only changes is the ip. Goodluck Bro!
Hi Guys can any one please who did the exams brief me on how the theory was!
Hey 9tut family I passed my exam today 947/1000, all questions were from 9tut just as they are, Labs were Eigrp with the AS number being the only alteration, ACL with allow host C to access finance server, and VTP was as it is
I did it within 1hr 10mins, finished exam with 50mins to go.
Guys you can do it, just go through all the questions and answers on 9tut and practice on the labs using packet tracer and you are good to go.
Thanks 9tut family

Hello fellow cisco aspirants,
I am grateful to God who never left by my side. Glory to you Lord Jesus. I just passed CCNA yesterday (Sept. 25, 2013). Sims are eigrp,acl2 and vtp. But be careful they have slight modification compared what is in 9tut. Dumps studied are spike and sekhar. Even the latter is already enough to pass the exam. For the sims, 9tut is all that it takes.
Good luck to everyone. Hurry to those who want to take the 640-802 as it’s last day is on Sept. 30th. After that 200-120 comes in.
Hello Cisco CCNA test takers, good luck on your certification exams. I took the exam last Sept. 17, 2013 and passed. Thanks to God and to 9tut. Just study the materials here in 9tut. All questions that came out came from here, so study. For the lab sims, ACL2, VTP, EIGRP came out but with slight variation and modifications, but they’re all from 9tut so be sure to grasp all routing and switching concepts first to understand how to deal with the lab questions. To be sure, also try answering CCNA dumps from sekhar and spike from http://www.examcollections.com and download a .vce exam simulator. older software versions will do. For those who want to beat the Sept. 30 deadline, good luck….and pray :-)
i have cleared the ccna exam dump with good marks i you need dump contact me theghibha@gmail.com

Are questions from 640-802 coming in 200-120 exam?
Planning to take CCNA exam 1st quarter 2014…
Anyone can provide their best practise to prepare…
Thanks
Too many grammar issues and mistakes with Cisco’s questions…. You figure a company of that size would have someone proof them. Preferbly someone that has english for their first language. There should be no ambiguity! I’m not trying to offend anyone but it is quite pathetic.
good ques
