Refer to the exhibit. An administrator documented the output of a CAM table from an Ethernet switch as shown. What action will the switch take when it receives the frame shown at the bottom of the exhibit?
discard the frame
forward the frame out port 2
forward the frame out port 3
forward the frame out all portsforward the frame out all ports except port 3
add station 00-00-3D-1F-11-05 to port 2 in the forwarding table
2
Refer to the exhibit. An administrator issues the commands as shown on SwitchB. What is the result for port Fa0/22?
The port is disabled.
Security is enabled on the port.
The port becomes a trunk port.
The port is now a member of the default VLAN.
3
What is one reason that SSID cloaking is not considered an effective security measure for a wireless network?
The SSID is not required to connect to a wireless network.
The SSID is broadcast in probe messages from clients that are looking for the AP.
The SSID is the same as the AP MAC address, which is sent in every message.
An attacker can spoof the SSID simply by using an SSID of NULL in all messages.

The trunk is established, but no VLANs have been configured to use it.
The router is missing the dynamic trunking protocol statements necessary to form a trunk.The trunk has not been established because the router does not support dynamic trunking protocol.
The router, the switch, or both must be configured with the dynamic desirable option for dynamic trunking protocol to establish a trunk.
11

13
Refer to the exhibit. Which two statements are true about the operation of the interfaces? (Choose two.)
Incoming traffic with VLAN ID 0 is processed by interface fa0/0.Incoming traffic that has a VLAN ID of 2 is processed by subinterface fa0/0.2.
Both subinterfaces remain up with line protocol up, even if fa0/0 line protocol is down.

16
Which statement about STP network diameter is correct?
STP diameters are restricted by convergence times.
Layer 2 root elections should be optimized by adjusting BPDU timers to match network diameter.
Using lower bandwidth connections between switches will allow STP to have a larger network diameter.
Portfast can be used to increase the allowable switched network diameter because it disables the forward delay and maximum age timers.

All the VLANs were pruned from the trunk port between SW1 and SW2.24
SW1 and SW2 cannot be both set as VTP servers in the same VTP domain.VTP configuration revision number of SW2 was higher than the configuration revision number of SW1.
The additional VLANs from SW2 created more VLANs than the VLAN database of SW1 could contain.

Refer to the exhibit. What does the term DYNAMIC indicate in the output that is shown?
This entry can only be removed from the MAC address table by a network administrator.
When forwarding a frame to the device with address 0060.5c5b.cd23, the switch does not have to perform a lookup to determine the final destination port.
Only the device with MAC address 0060.5c5b.cd23 will be allowed to connect to port Fa0/18.The switch learned this MAC address from the source address in a frame received on Fa0/18.

Company policy requires disabling the command history buffer on network devices. An administrator enters terminal no history size at the command prompt on a Cisco Catalyst switch and receives no error messages back, but the command history buffer is still available. What is the problem?
The command contained a syntax error.
The Cisco IOS version does not support disabling the command history buffer.
The command history can only be disabled on a router, not a switch.The size parameter reset the default buffer size but did not disable access to the buffer.

the destination address field in the Ethernet header
42
Refer to the exhibit. The configuration steps that are listed in the exhibit have been entered in switch S1 via the console. Subsequent attempts to telnet to the switch are not successful. What is causing the problem?
The switch must be configured with SSH version 1.The transport input command must specify Telnet access.
The RSA keys must be returned to zero before SSH will permit Telnet access.
The ip domain-name command must also be entered in line configuration mode for the vty lines.

DSSS
OFDM
SSIDWPA
44
How does a switch that is configured for 802.1Q trunking handle untagged frames that are received on a trunk port?
The frames are dropped.
The frames are assigned to the native VLAN.
The frames are assigned to the default VLAN.
The frames are assigned to the management VLAN.
45
Why is it advisable that a network administrator use SSH instead of Telnet when managing switches?
SSH uses TCP whereas Telnet does not.
SSH encrypts only the username and password when logging in.SSH encrypts all remote management communications whereas Telnet does not.
SSH sends a clear text message steam which reduces the bandwidth use for management.

Different static VLANs should be assigned to different interfaces of the router.
The router should be configured as the VTP server.

Relocate the APs closer to each other.
Increase the distance between the clients.Change the channel on AP-B to 6 or 11.
Place AP-A and AP-B on the same wireless channel.
48
What is a function or characteristic of the native VLAN?
It is the VLAN that supports untagged traffic on an 802.1Q trunk.
It is always assigned to VLAN 1 for backward compatibility.
It is always the same VLAN number for all trunks within an organization.
It is used as the management VLAN throughout the entire switched network.

An IEEE standard trunking protocol is in use.Interface Fa0/1 has been configured with subinterfaces.
The shutdown command has been applied to interface Fa0/1.
Interface Fa0/1.3 is mapped to the default management VLAN.The configuration is appropriate for a router-on-a-stick network design.
An IP address should be applied to interface Fa0/1 for routing to occur.
50
Refer to the exhibit. All hosts are in listen mode. Host 1 and Host 4 both transmit data at the same time. How do the hosts respond on the network? (Choose two.)
After the end of the jam signal, a backoff algorithm is invoked.
Hosts 1 and 4 are operating full duplex so no collision will exist.
The hub will block the port connected to Host 4 to prevent a collision.
Hosts 1 and 4 are assigned shorter backoff values to provide them priority to access the media.If a host has data to transmit after the backoff period of that host, the host checks to determine if the line is idle before transmitting.
51
What is the purpose of VTP pruning?
to restrict traffic on specified trunk lines
to designate switches that do not participate in VTP
to advertise VTP domain information to specified switches only
to reduce the propagation of VTP advertisements in the switched network
52
What operational change will occur if an 802.11b client associates with an access point that is currently supporting clients utilizing 802.11g?
The 802.11g clients will disassociate from the AP.
The 802.11g clients will operate at reduced speeds.
The 802.11b client will never gain access to the channel.
The 802.11b client will not be able to establish an IP session with any of the other 802.11g clients.
