CCNA – Protocols & Services

Here you will find answers to CCNA – Protocols & Services Questions

Question 1

An administrator attempts a traceroute but receives a “Destination Unreachable” message. Which protocol is responsible for that message?

A. RARP
B. RUDP
C. ICMP
D. SNMP

 

Answer: C

Explanation

The ICMP destination unreachable message is generated by a router (which is reachable) to inform the source host that the destination unicast address is unreachable.

Question 2

DNS servers provide what service?

A. They run a spell check on host names to ensure accurate routing
B. They convert domain names into IP address
C. Given an IP address.they determine the name of the host that is sought
D. They map individual hosts to their specific IP addresses

 

Answer: B

Explanation

For example, when you open a web browser (IE, Firefox…) and type a domain (like google.com). This domain will be sent to a DNS server. The DNS server looks up this domain in its database and sends back a corresponding IP address which you can use to access that website.

Note: A DNS server can be a dedicated device for DNS service or integrated into a networking device (like router).

Question 3

Which of the following protocols uses both TCP and UDP ports?

A. SMTP
B. Telnet
C. FTP
D. DNS

 

Answer: D

Explanation

DNS can use either the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) with a destination port of 53.

Note:

+Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is specified for mail transport and uses TCP port 25.
+ Telnet uses TCP on port 23.
+ File Transfer Protocol (FTP) uses TCP on port 20, 21.
+ Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) uses UDP on port 69.
+ HTTP Secure (HTTPS) uses TCP on port 443.

Question 4

Which protocol should be used to establish a secure terminal connection to a remote network device?

A. ARP
B. SSH
C. Telnet
D. WEP
E. SNMPv1
F. SNMPv2

 

Answer: B

Explanation

Secure Shell (SSH) protocols secure terminal session data across insecure environments such as the internet.

Question 5

A network administrator issues the ping 192.168.2.5 command and successfully tests connectivity to a host that has been newly connected to the network. Which protocols were used during the test? (Choose two)

A. ARP
B. CDP
C. DHCP
D. DNS
E. ICMP

 

Answer: A E

Explanation

In this question we are not sure the host 192.168.2.5 is in or outside the local network. But in both cases the ARP protocol are used to get the MAC address:

+ If host 192.168.2.5 is inside the local network, our device will broadcast an ARP Request to ask the MAC address of the host 192.168.2.5 (something like “If your IP is 192.168.2.5, please send me your MAC address”).
+ If host 192.168.2.5 is outside the local network, our device will broadcast an ARP Request to ask the MAC address of the local port (the port in the same subnet with our device) of the default gateway. Notice that the IP of the default gateway has been already configured in our device.

-> In both cases, our device must broadcast an ARP Request -> A is correct.

After getting the ARP of the destination device, our device will use ICMP protocol to send the “ping” -> E is correct.

Note: The question states “the host has been newly connected to the network” which means our device hasn’t had the MAC address of this host in its ARP table -> it needs to send ARP Request.

There is one situation which makes answer A incorrect: the newly connected host is outside the network but our device has already learned the MAC address of the default gateway -> in this case no ARP Request will be sent. So I assume the question wants to imply the newly connected host is in the local network.

Question 6

Which network protocol does DNS use?

A. FTP
B. TFTP
C. TCP
D. UDP
E. SCP

 

Answer: D

Explanation

It is funny that in Question 3 I answered “DNS uses both TCP & UDP” but in this question we can only choose one answer and it should be “DNS uses UDP”. So I wish to explain more:

Normally a client sends a DNS Query using UDP Protocol over Port 53. If it does not get response from a DNS Server, it must re-transmit the DNS Query using TCP after 3-5 seconds. So we can say DNS prefers using UDP to TCP -> the answer should be UDP.

Question 7

When two hosts are trying to communicate across a network, how does the host originating the communication determine the hardware address of the host that it wants to “talk” to?

A. RARP request
B. Show Network Address request
C. Proxy ARP request
D. ARP request
E. Show Hardware Address request

 

Answer: D

Explanation

The address resolution protocol (ARP) is a protocol used to map IP network addresses to the hardware addresses.

+ If the destination host is inside the local network, the originating host will broadcast an ARP Request to ask the MAC address of that host.
+ If the destination host is outside the local network, the originating host will broadcast an ARP Request to ask the MAC address of the local port (the port in the same subnet with our device) of the default gateway. Notice that the IP of the default gateway has been already configured in our device.

Question 8

Refer to the exhibit, Host A pings interface S0/0 on router 3, what is the TTL value for that ping?

TTL_ping.jpg

A. 253
B. 252
C. 255
D. 254

 

Answer: A

Explanation

From the CCNA ICND2 Exam book: “Routers decrement the TTL by 1 every time they forward a packet; if a router decrements the TTL to 0, it throws away the packet. This prevents packets from rotating forever.” I want to make it clear that before the router forwards a packet, the TTL is still remain the same. For example in the topology above, pings to S0/1 and S0/0 of Router 2 have the same TTL.

The picture below shows TTL values for each interface of each router and for Host B. Notice that Host A initializes ICMP packet with a TTL of 255:

    About the TTL, I just want to make clear. How can the serial subtract the ttl? Is it the serial or the router who do the subtraction of the ttl?
    In my own opinion, when the packet leaves the outgoing interface, it is already subtracted by 1, right.
    Therefore, the subtraction of the ttl takes place in the router, not on the serial or fastethernet or whatsoever.
    Comments pls…

    Hi Nikash,
    No, its definitely not enough.These questions help you revise key points and tells you waht are your weaknesses are, but you wont be able to fully understand ACL or routing by mugging these questions and also they are not a substitute for the practical configuration of networks. So study hard rom the recommended books and use this as a revise…

    @Richard

    the TTL on the packet is reduced when the packet is forwarded, the interface its self has nothing to do with it. When the router receives the packet it either says “Oh this is for me, I’ll respond accordingly” or “This is not for me, I’ll route it according to my routing table and reduce the TTL by 1″

    the question 8 is ok , but the order of decrement is not correct, is when the packet in to R1 ttl =255, when packet out of R1 TTL=254, when packet in to R2 TTL=254, when packet out of R2 TTL=253, sooo when packet in to R3 TTL=253 ….. etc
    I simuled it in packet tracert and the answer is okk but the order of that explanation in the graphic is wrong, just simulated packet tracert and know it.

    Answer to Q8 is wrong. TTL will be 252. Not sure what everyone is smoking on this site. TTL starts at 255 and gets decremented once by each of the 3 routers. That diagram is aweful and incorrect. I tested this out with three 1811 routers and a 3750 as the ping generator on one end with my laptop running wireshark as the receiver.

    To Joe, you don’t have to be so rude about the TTL diagram. I took my CCNA Monday Sept. 16th, only studied 9tut, had that question as a matter of fact (I chose 253) and I passed. You guys are sweating this exam too much ! Thanks to the brilliant guy who set up this website and you only pay $9.00 instead of test king trying to squeeze you for over $90.00, we all should be grateful. I taught myself so much more info just from this website, I was breezing through the questions on the exam.

  36. 9tut
    September 18th, 2013

    @Joe: We are sorry about the diagram of Q8. We updated it with correct TTL values.

  37. Joe
    September 18th, 2013

    @Tina/@9tut, sorry for my rudeness. I am appreciative of this site. By the way @9tut, you still have A marked but you show that B should be correct in the diagram. The answer needs changed to B since 252 is the correct answer. Thank you for the site.

  38. Joe
    September 18th, 2013

    Also, regarding the diagram, TTL entering A would be 255, get decremented by A, and exit at 254. It’d then enter B with 254 and exit it with 253. It’d then enter C with 253 and exit with 252 which is what the host receives. Your diagram shows the right answer, but the decrement doesn’t happen over the link, it happens at the router.

  39. eze
    September 18th, 2013

    @joe – read question 8 again – it doesn’t ask anything about pinging host b – it’s a ping to whatever ip is on int s0/0 on router3 – so 253 is the right answer……..I can hear the “oops – I didn’t read the question” facepalm from here :)

    If it was asking about a ping to host b then yes – 252 would be the answer.

    Hope that clears it up?

  40. 9tut
    September 19th, 2013

    @Joe: The diagram shows the decrement happens at the router. Please look at the diagram again. And it is pinging S0/0 of Router3, not host B so the answer should be 253 as eze has said.

    When I took the exam this pass Monday I had question 8 and what they are saying is correct the answer is 253 because they are asking before the router at s0/0 or s0/1 the link. Anyway 9tut your the bomb!!! By the way I had VTP, EIGRP, and ACL sims.
