• Question 821:

  Which is a fact related to FTP?

  A. It uses two separate connections for control and data traffic.
  B. It uses block numbers to identify and mitigate data-transfer errors.
  C. It always operates without user authentication.
  D. It relies on the well-known UDP port 69.
  A. It uses two separate connections for control and data traffic.

  The FTP protocol typically uses two separate connections:

  1. "Control Connection" This connection is used for sending commands from the client to the server and receiving responses. It is usually established on well-known port 21.

  2."Data Connection" This connection is used for the actual transfer of data files. Depending on the mode (active or passive) and the specific implementation, the data connection can be established on a different port.

  FTP does use a simple form of error checking, but it does not use block numbers in the same way that some other protocols (e.g., TFTP) do.

  FTP typically requires user authentication, which involves providing a username and password to access files on the server.

  FTP traditionally uses TCP for its connections, and the well-known port for FTP control is 21, not UDP port 69. UDP port 69 is associated with TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol).

• Question 822:

  A network engineer must configure two new subnets using the address block 10.70.128.0/19 to meet these requirements:

  1. The first subnet must support 24 hosts

  2. The second subnet must support 472 hosts

  3. Both subnets must use the longest subnet mask possible from the address block.

  Which two configurations must be used to configure the new subnets and meet a requirement to use the first available address in each subnet for the router interfaces? (Choose two)

  A. interface vlan 1234 ip address 10.70.159.1 255.255.254.0
  B. interface vlan 1148 ip address 10.70.148.1 255.255.254.0
  C. interface vlan 4722 ip address 10.70.133.17 255.255.255.192
  D. interface vlan 3002 ip address 10.70.147.17 255.255.255.224
  E. interface vlan 155 ip address 10.70.155.65 255.255.255.224
  B. interface vlan 1148 ip address 10.70.148.1 255.255.254.0

• Question 824:

  What is the function of the controller in a software-defined network?

  A. forwarding packets
  B. multicast replication at the hardware level
  C. setting packet-handling policies

  ---

  In a software-defined network (SDN) setting, a controller plays a crucial role in defining and enforcing packet-handling policies. The primary function of a controller in SDN is to provide centralized control and management of the network by dynamically configuring and programming network devices.

• Question 828:

  How does machine learning contribute to the effectiveness of intrusion detection systems?

  A. It identifies patterns indicating intrusions.
  B. It assigns security clearance levels.
  C. It monitors for outdated software.
  D. It dictates security policy updates.
  A. It identifies patterns indicating intrusions.

  ---

  Machine learning enhances intrusion detection systems by analyzing vast amounts of network data to identify unusual patterns or behaviors that may indicate a potential security threat or intrusion. Machine learning algorithms can learn from historical data and adapt to new types of attacks by recognizing anomalies or deviations from normal network behavior. Over time, machine learning can improve the accuracy of an IDS, reducing false positives and enhancing its ability to detect previously unknown or evolving threats.

• Question 829:

  An engineer configured an OSPF neighbor as a designated router. Which state verifies the designated router is in the proper mode?

  A. Init
  B. 2-way
  C. Exchange
  D. Full
  D. Full

  ---

  A DR or a BDR router will always need to reach a full state relationship with all neighbours (DROther included!) for correct operation. A 2-way state will only be considered correct and stable between two DROther routers.

• Question 830:

  What is an expected outcome when network management automation is deployed?

  A. A distributed management plane must be used.
  B. Software upgrades are performed from a central controller
  C. Complexity increases when new device configurations are added
  D. Custom applications are needed to configure network devices
  B. Software upgrades are performed from a central controller

  ---

  Network management automation is the use of software tools and techniques to automate the process of managing and configuring network devices. Some expected outcomes when network management automation is deployed include:

  1. Improved efficiency and accuracy: Network management automation can help to reduce the time and effort required to manage and configure network devices, as well as reduce the risk of errors.

  2. Enhanced security: Network management automation can help to ensure that devices are configured correctly and consistently, which can help to reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities.

  3. Improved visibility and control: Network management automation can provide a centralised view of the network and enable administrators to manage and configure devices from a central location.

  4. Simplified software upgrades: Network management automation can enable software upgrades to be performed from a central controller, rather than having to be performed manually on each device.

  In summary, an expected outcome when network management automation is deployed is that software upgrades are performed from a central controller.
