Here you will find answers to TCP/IP Model & Operation Questions

Question 1

An inbound access list has been configured on a serial interface to deny packet entry for TCP and UDP ports 21, 23 and 25. What types of packets will be permitted by this ACL? (Choose three)

A. FTP
B. Telnet
C. SMTP
D. DNS
E. HTTP
F. POP3

 

Answer: D E F

Explanation

The access list denies packet entry for TCP & UDP -> all the services on ports 21, 23 and 25 are disabled. Services on these ports are FTP (port 21), Telnet (port 23), SMTP (port 25). Other services are allowed so D E F are the correct answers.

Question 2

What are two characteristics of Telnet? (Choose two)

A. It sends data in clear text format.
B. It is no longer supported on Cisco network devices.
C. It is more secure than SSH.
D. It requires an enterprise license in order to be implemented.
E. It requires that the destination device be configured to support Telnet connections.

 

Answer: A E

Explanation

Telnet, part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, is a virtual terminal protocol that allows you to make connections to remote devices, gather information, and run programs. Telnet is considered insecure because it transfers all data in clear text -> A is correct.

The destination device needs to support Telnet connection. For example, if a device doesn’t support TCP/IP protocol suit then maybe we can’t telnet to it.

Question 3

An administrator issues the command ping 127.0.0.1 from the command line prompt on a PC. If a reply is received, what does this confirm?

A. The PC has connectivity with a local host.
B. The PC has connectivity with a Layer 3 device.
C. The PC has a default gateway correctly configured
D. The PC has connectivity up to Layer 5 of the OSI model
E. The PC has the TCP/IP protocol stack correctly installed.

 

Answer: E

Explanation

The address 127.0.0.1 is called loopback address. When we ping 127.0.0.1, in fact we are testing if the TCP/IP protocol suite is installed on our device.

Note: The address 127.0.0.1 does not have anything related with the NIC card. We still ping 127.0.0.1 even if we don’t have the NIC card.

Question 4

Where does routing occur within the DoD TCP/IP reference model?

A. application
B. internet
C. network
D. transport

 

Answer: B

Explanation

The picture below shows the comparison between TCP/IP model & OSI model. Notice that the Internet Layer of TCP/IP is equivalent to the Network Layer which is responsible for routing decision.

Question 5

A host is attempting to send data to another host on a different network. What is the first action that the sending host will take?

A. Drop the data.
B. Send the data frames to the default gateway.
C. Create an ARP request to get a MAC address for the receiving host.
D. Send a TCP SYN and wait for the SYN ACK with the IP address of the receiving host.

 

Answer: B

Explanation

Before sending data, the sending host checks if the destination host is inside or outside the local network. If it is outside the local network, the data will be sent to the default gateway.

Question 6

A TCP/IP Transfer is diagrammed in the exhibit.
A window size of three has been negotiated for this transfer. Which message will be returned from the receiver to the sender as part of this TCP/IP transfer?

TCP_IP_Send_ACK.jpg

A. Send ACK 1-3
B. Send ACK 3
C. Send ACK 4
D. Send ACK 4-6
E. Send ACK 6
F. Send ACK 7

 

Answer: C

Explanation

In response, the receiver replies with an ACK. The acknowledgment number is set to one more than the received sequence number. The ACK means “I have got all messages up to sequence number n-1 so please send me the message for sequence number n”.

Question 7

What is the purpose using the traceroute command?

A. to map all the devices on a network.
B. to display the current TCP/IP configuration values.
C. to see how a device MAC address is mapped to its IP address.
D. to see the path a packet will take when traveling to a specified destination.
E. to display the MTU values for each router in a specified network path from source to a destination.

 

 

Answer: D

Question 8

A network admin wants to know every hop the packets take when he accesses cisco.com. Which command is the most appropriate to use?

A. path cisco.com
B. debugcisco.com
C. trace cisco.com
D. traceroute cisco.com

 

Answer: D

Question 9

Refer to the exhibit. Host A pings Host B. What source MAC address and source IP address are contained in the frame as the frame leaves R2 destined for host B?

send_packets_source_MAC_IP.jpg

A. abcd.abcd.a001
B. abcd.abcd.b002
C. abcd.abcd.c003
D. 10.2.0.15
E. 10.0.64.1
F. 10.0.128.15

 

Answer: B D

Explanation

When packets are sent from Host A to Host B, the source and destination IP addresses are never changed and they are the IP addresses of Host A & Host B. Only the MAC addresses will be changed to reflect the device of the current network. In this case, when the frame leaves R2 destined for host B. It will have:

+ Source IP: IP of Host A - 10.2.0.15 (never changed)
+ Destination IP: IP of Host B – 10.0.128.15 (never changed)
+ Source MAC: MAC of Fa0/0 of R2 – abcd.abcd.b002
+ Destination MAC: MAC of Host B – abcd.abcd.d004

Question 10

Host 1 is trying to communicate with Host 2. The e0 interface on Router C is down. Which of the following are true? (Choose two)

ICMP_Destination_Unreachable.jpg

A. Router C will use ICMP to inform Host 1 that Host 2 cannot be reached.
B. Router C will use ICMP to inform Router B that Host 2 cannot be reached.
C. Router C will use ICMP to inform Host 1, Router A, and Router B that Host 2 cannot be reached.
D. Router C will send a Destination Unreachable message type.
E. Router C will send a Router Selection message type.
F. Router C will send a Source Quench message type.

 

Answer: A D

Explanation

The last known good router will try to inform you that the destination cannot be reached (with a Destination Unreachable message type) so from that information you can learn how far your packets can travel to and where the problem is.

Question 11

Refer to the exhibit. The switch in the graphic has a default configuration and the MAC table is fully populated. In addition, this network is operating properly. The graphic represents selected header information in a frame leaving host A. What can be concluded from this information?

frame_header_information.jpg

A. The MAC address of host A is FFFF.FFFF.FFFF.
B. The router will forward the packet in this frame to the Internet.
C. The switch will only forward this frame to the attached router interface.
D. All devices in this LAN except host A will pass the packet to Layer 3.

 

Answer: D

Explanation

This frame is leaving host A so host A is the source of this frame. In this frame, the MAC destination is FFFF.FFFF.FFFF which is a broadcast address so Sw1 will flood this frame out all its ports except the port it received the frame -> Hosts B, C, D and the interface connected to Sw1 on R1 will receive this frame. When receiving this frame, they will pass the packet to Layer 3 (because they consider broadcast address “everyone, including me”). At Layer 3, the Destination IP will be checked and only the host (or the interface on the router) with correct IP will respond to Host A while others keep silence -> D is correct.

Just for your information, maybe you can ask “this is a broadcast message so why router R1 doesn’t drop it?”. Suppose this is an ARP Request message. In fact, R1 drops that packet but it also learns that it is an ARP Request so R1 looks up its routing table to find a route to that destination. If it can find one, it will send an ARP Reply back for host A”.

    Hi 9tut, Can you review question 8.

    Question asks what command is the most appropriate. The tool used is traceroute however the command entered is tracert cisco.com. What do you think?

  2. xallax
    February 9th, 2012

    @ccent certified
    tracert is on windows machines
    it is asking for a network admin. that leads you to switches and routers, right?

    cheers :)

    Hi,

    For Q5, true answer should be “C”, Sending host first attempts to send a ARP request to resolve MAC address of the destination host if it is an unknown host. Am I wrong??

  4. Koffy
    February 22nd, 2012

    @Ilter

    Q5.

    Option B

    Send the data frame to default gateway.

    Please, read above explanation for better understanding.

    @Ilter

    host will look at his ip and will notice that they are not in the same network ..then host will send the the frame direct to his gateway…

    it possible to make an arp before ..but not to get the mac of the receiving pc but the mac of the gateway…

  8. s4cnc

    Q5
    This question is to examine the ARP working principle.
    When Host A doesn’t know the MAC address of Host B, the ARP request will be broadcast so that all hosts on
    the LAN can see this request. If the IP is not local, the router will check its routing table to see whether there is
    a route to the destination network. If there is, the router will reply with its own MAC address.
    So C is correct.

    for packet tracert
    when send icmp request to another network
    host send ARP & ROUTER check the network for des in route table
    if finded router reply with arp request to source host with mac address to router (default gatway) and router send arp again to destination network for finded to mac address for destination host wen destination host reply and send mac address to router (arp reply)
    router forward icmp request drom host 1 (source) to host 2 (destination)
    correct answer is c

  9. s4cnc
    February 28th, 2012

    but one moment
    HOST 1 sent ARP request for default gatwey to get mac address for router not for get mac address for des host mmmmmmmmmmmmm when this B correct

  10. Oreoz
    March 7th, 2012

    A little more guidance for Question 5

    Normally it would be correct, but when the computer is turned on it will have the IP address configured and the default gateway in its local arp table. You can confirm this by typing in arp -a in a cmd prompt and it will display your gateway address and MAC. The first step it will take when it is being processed is that it will check the destination IP address and it will notice it is in a different network. It does this because as the data is being process to get sent out it goes from the top down (Layer 7 to Layer 1) and as it is being processed when it comes in the goes from the bottom up (Layer 1 to Layer 7). The IP address is at Layer 3 so that would get processed before the Layer 2 MAC address. This would allow it to see the different network and the host computer would then send it to its defaut gatway to get processed. I hope this explains it better for you guys.

    I have a question regarding Question 9. How come the source MAC address is not the the MAC address of the port on R2 connecting to R1 like the question below?

    Host A is communicating with a server. What will the destination MAC address of the frames sent by Host A to the server?

    Router
    e0 / \ e1
    / \
    Hub Switch
    | |
    Host A Server

    Answer was the MAC address of Router interface e0. Please explain as I am confused.

  13. Shaun
    March 26th, 2012

    for question 5 the answer is C. The first action host will take is to send an ARP request. This ARP request will be received by all in the LAN segment. Router will check whether it is for different LAN and respond with its MAC address. Then host address the MAC address of the Router as destination address.

    Q1, Q10 as is, and Q9 with a little change in address scheme, were in today’s exam.

  15. geedub
    March 27th, 2012

    Q11– the broadcast packets get dropped at layer 3? and only the host with the correct IP will respond? –oooo — this is an arp request because it has destination IP address

    which network protocol that DNS use ?
    a-udp
    b-scp
    c-tftp
    d-tcp
    e-ftp
    answer is both a & b
    but collitio dumps asks only one and chooses UDP why ??? and i should choose one should i choose UDP instead TCP ???

  17. xallax
    April 5th, 2012

    @killer4ever
    DNS uses both UDP and TCP

    as per wikipedia:
    “DNS primarily uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) on port number 53 to serve requests. DNS queries consist of a single UDP request from the client followed by a single UDP reply from the server. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is used when the response data size exceeds 512 bytes, or for tasks such as zone transfers. Some resolver implementations use TCP for all queries.”

    correct answers here would be A and D

    Why is Q10 not C and D? For ICMP to get the unreachable message to Host 1, doesn’t it have to get processed by the hop routers A and B also ?

    just make no sense to me can you guys help me understand that
    now hosts route packets!!!

  25. xallax
    April 12th, 2012

    @ccnaguy

    A. the MAC of a host will never be all Fs. False

    B. i doubt it as there are almost no chances at all that the source and destination arent in the same subnet.
    this one is false too

    C. destination all Fs means “this is a broadcast”. what do swiches do with broadcasts? they send them our all ports, except the port they came on. False

    D. all others are false, this must be Correct.
    yes, all other devices (3 PCs and 1 Router) will receive the bits over the cable (Layer 1), will assemble the frame (Layer 2) and will check to see if the destination IP address is their own (Layer 3). True.

  26. Denis
    April 23rd, 2012

    Hi, 9tut, Great job U”ve done here! All I wanted to mention is that in the Q9 U said that “the source and destination IP addresses are never changed” but IIRC they can be changed in the case of NAT. So I would either change this statement or add remark like “NAT is exception”.
    Cheers!

    thank in advance.

  36. xallax
    May 29th, 2012

    @jay
    HostA pings to HostB.
    there are L3 devices in-between (Router1 and Router2)

    the ARP request will have the MAC address of the next L3 device on the path. this is Router1. the IP address will be the one of the destination device.

    note that there is a switch between HostA and Router1. judging by the icon it is a normal L2 switch. it will just forward the frames from or to HostA.

    but… why? think of it sending a letter to a friend that lives in another country.
    you send the envelope with the contact information your friend has (the IP), but you send it from the post office that is closer to you (this is the MAC).
    this of the switch in the exhibit as the mailman. he takes the envelope from your house but he still has to give it to the post office. he does not change any info on the envelope.

  37. Jay
    May 30th, 2012

    Thanks xallax.. but im bit confused about the interface address. is it referring to Destination IP address? Please advise. thanks.

  38. xallax
    May 30th, 2012

    @jay
    yes, it should’ve been “Internet Address”…
    check for yourself by doing this on a windows machine: winkey+r (or Start->Run), type in “cmd” (no quotes) and press Enter, type “arp -a” (no quotes) and press Enter.

    it should display a list of all known ARP entries.

    now try this in the same command prompt window: ping http://www.google.com
    after it is done pinging try “arp -a” again.
    it doesn’t show an entry for the IP address that corresponds to the google server. my question is: why?
    answer: they are not on the same network. ARP is only used locally.

    this question is a bit stupid to say the least as it does not reflect the reality. the 2 hosts are on different networks…

    still, go with the task at hand and correctly identify the destinations at L2 and L3.
    destination at L2 is the MAC of the default gateway. it always is when leaving the network
    destination at L3 is the IP of the destination device (be it PC, router, switch, printer, LAN coffee machine, etc.)

  39. xallax
    May 30th, 2012

    @jay
    regarding the above… it added on its own “h t t p : / /” before the google ping command above. please use “ping google.com” instead

    Q5:

    I tried to ping from 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.1.10 across a router in the middle (all devices with default settings)

    This is script from Packet Tracer simulation.

    First goes Layer3. Situation is:

    1. The Ping process starts the next ping request.
    2. The Ping process creates an ICMP Echo Request message and sends it to the lower process.
    3. The source IP address is not specified. The device sets it to the port’s IP address.
    4. The device sets TTL in the packet header.
    5. The destination IP address is not in the same subnet and is not the broadcast address.
    6. The default gateway is set. The device sets the next-hop to default gateway.

    Than comes Layer2. Situation is:

    1. The next-hop IP address is a unicast. The ARP process looks it up in the ARP table.
    2. The next-hop IP address is not in the ARP table. The ARP process tries to send an ARP request for that IP address and buffers this packet.

    Mine answer will be “B”.

    Please check question 1

    An inbound access list has been configured on a serial interface to deny packet entry for TCP and UDP ports 21, 23 and 25. What types of packets will be permitted by this ACL? (Choose three)

    A. FTP
    B. Telnet
    C. SMTP
    D. DNS
    E. HTTP
    F. POP3

    Answer: D E F

    Explanation

    The access list denies packet entry for TCP & UDP -> all the services on ports 21, 23 and 25 are disabled. Services on these ports are FTP (port 21), Telnet (port 23), SMTP (port 25). Other services are allowed so D E F are the correct answers.

    *****

    Answers should be A B and C

  44. ddane
    June 6th, 2012

    @jpmarinm

    I can’t see how FTP, Telnet and SMTP is permited. In question, ACL is configured to deny packets for that ports?
