Question 1 Single choice

Which of the following attacks forces a switch to send all traffic out of all ports?

  1. A

    ARP poisoning

  2. B

    Evil twin

  3. C

    MAC flooding

  4. D

    DNS spoofing

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

MAC flooding overwhelms a switch's MAC address table with large numbers of fabricated entries. When the switch can no longer associate a destination MAC address with a specific port, it treats the frame as unknown unicast traffic and floods it through the other ports in the VLAN.

Question 2 Single choice

A network deployment engineer is deploying a new single-channel 10G optical connection.

Which of the following optics should the engineer MOST likely use to satisfy this requirement?

  1. A

    QSFP

  2. B

    QSFP+

  3. C

    SFP

  4. D

    SFP+

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

SFP+ is the enhanced small form-factor pluggable format used for a single 10G channel, so it matches both the speed and single-channel requirements. Standard SFP is associated with lower-speed links. QSFP and QSFP+ are quad-lane formats intended to combine multiple channels rather than represent the requested single 10G optical channel.

Question 3 Single choice

During a VoIP call, a user notices inconsistent audio and logs an incident ticket. A network administrator notices inconsistent delays in arrival of the RTP packets.

Which of the following troubleshooting tools should the network administrator use to determine the issue?

  1. A

    Toner and probe

  2. B

    Protocol analyzer

  3. C

    Cable tester

  4. D

    Spectrum reader

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A protocol analyzer captures and decodes network packets, including RTP traffic used by the VoIP call. By examining timestamps and packet sequence information, the administrator can measure variation in arrival delay and identify jitter or loss. Physical cable tools test wiring, while a spectrum reader examines radio-frequency conditions rather than RTP timing.

Question 4 Single choice

Which of the following types of attacks is most likely to occur after an attacker sets up an evil twin?

  1. A

    On-path

  2. B

    DDoS

  3. C

    ARP spoofing

  4. D

    Phishing

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

An evil twin impersonates a legitimate wireless access point so users connect through an attacker-controlled device. Once traffic passes through that device, the attacker is positioned between the client and the intended network and can observe or manipulate communications. This placement enables an on-path attack.

Question 5 Multiple choice

A user cannot access an external server for a client after connecting to a VPN.

Which of the following commands would a support agent most likely use to examine the issue? (Select two).

  1. A

    nslookup

  2. B

    tcpdump

  3. C

    arp

  4. D

    dig

  5. E

    tracert

  6. F

    route print

Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: E, F

Explanation

route print displays the local routing table, revealing whether connecting the VPN installed a route for the external server's network or redirected traffic through an unsuitable gateway. tracert then identifies the sequence of hops and where traffic stops. Together they examine both the client's route selection and the actual forwarding path after VPN connection.

Question 6 Single choice

A device is experiencing disconnection from the wireless network. A network support engineer needs to find the root cause of the issue.

Which of the following should the engineer use to isolate the device on a packet capture?

  1. A

    ESSID

  2. B

    MAC

  3. C

    PSK

  4. D

    BSSID

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A device's MAC address identifies its network interface at the data-link layer and appears in captured local wireless frames. Filtering the capture on that MAC isolates traffic sent or received by the affected device. An ESSID identifies a wireless network, while a BSSID identifies an AP radio rather than the client.

Question 7 Lab simulation

Simulation

After a recent power outage, users are reporting performance issues accessing the application servers. Wireless users are also reporting intermittent Internet issues.

Show answer and explanation

Network Health

Correct Answer: WAN 2

WAN 2 should be preferred for VoIP traffic because it has lower packet loss, latency, and jitter than WAN 1.

  • WAN 1: 2.51% loss, 24 ms average latency, 9.5 ms jitter
  • WAN 2: 0.01% loss, 11 ms average latency, 3.9 ms jitter

VoIP traffic is highly sensitive to packet loss, latency, and jitter. Although WAN 1 has higher average throughput, WAN 2 provides substantially better real-time network performance and is therefore the preferred connection for VoIP traffic.

Device Monitoring

Correct Answer: Router A

Router A is the device experiencing connectivity issues. The Device Status information shows that one monitored device is down, and the simulation identifies Router A as that device.

A down router can disrupt connectivity between network segments and contribute to the reported application-server and Internet connectivity problems following the power outage.

Question 8 Single choice

A technician connects an IP camera to a switch port. The port successfully powers a VoIP phone, but the camera does not power on.

Select the MOST likely cause.

  1. A

    PoE is disabled on the switchport

  2. B

    The cable is faulty

  3. C

    The camera requires higher PoE standard

  4. D

    VLAN is misconfigured

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The working VoIP phone establishes that the switch port can deliver power and that PoE is enabled. A camera can demand more power than the port's supported PoE level supplies. If the camera requires a higher PoE standard, the lower-power port can operate the phone while failing to provide enough power for the camera to start.

Question 9 Single choice

A user's desk has a workstation and an IP phone. The user is unable to browse the internet on the workstation, but the phone works.

Which of the following configurations is required?

  1. A

    Voice VLAN

  2. B

    Native VLAN

  3. C

    Data VLAN

  4. D

    Trunk port

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The working IP phone demonstrates that the switch connection and voice VLAN path are functioning. The workstation's traffic must instead be associated with a data VLAN so it receives the appropriate addressing and network access for ordinary user traffic. Configuring the data VLAN restores the missing workstation path without changing the already-working voice path.

Question 10 Single choice

Which of the following is used to estimate the average life span of a device?

  1. A

    RTO

  2. B

    RPO

  3. C

    MTBF

  4. D

    MTTR

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

MTBF is the average operating time between one repairable failure and the next. A higher value indicates that a device is expected to function longer before failing, so it serves as a reliability-based estimate of useful operating life. MTTR measures repair duration, while RTO and RPO are recovery objectives rather than hardware-life measures.
