Which two keying mechanisms are available within MACsec? - ANSWER-SAP
MKA
What is MACsec? - ANSWER-MACsec provides Layer 2 encryption on the LAN. It also
encapsulates and protects the metadata field that carries the Security Group TAG
(SGT). Currently, two keying mechanisms are available: Security Association Protocol
(SAP) and MAC Security Key Agreement (MKA).
Which two features are supported on the Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance? -
ANSWER-High Availability
Site-to-site VPN
Which type of authentication and encryption does SNMPv3 use at the authPriv security
level? - ANSWER-MD5 or SHA authentication with DES encryption
Which protocol sends authentication and accounting in different requests? - ANSWER-
TACACS+
Which API uses HTTP messages to transfer data to applications residing on different
hosts? - ANSWER-REST
,Router A receives several routes to the 192.168.1.0/26 network. Each of the routes is
received from a different routing protocol.
What route is installed on the routing table?
-Route with lowest AD
-Route with highest AD
-Route with longest prefix match
-Route with shortest prefix match - ANSWER-Route with lowest AD
True or False
Metrics can only be used to compare routes from the same routing protocol.
Therefore, when a routing protocol contains multiple routes to the same destination
network, a router prefers the route with the lowest metric. - ANSWER-TRUE
In controller-based network, what typically contains end devices and L2 switches? -
ANSWER-The data plane
What two routing protocols support equal-cost load balancing? - ANSWER-RIP and
OSPF
What routing protocol supports unequal-cost load balancing? - ANSWER-EIGRP
When configuring WLAN by using WLC GUI, what setting are you most likely using the
Layer 3 Security drop-down list on the Layer 3 tab? - ANSWER-VPN Pass-Through
There are two types of WLANs you can configure by using the WLC GUI: WLAN and
Guest LAN. VPN Pass-Through is ONLY available to WLAN.
,When configuring GUEST LAN by using WLC GUI, what setting are you most likely using
the Layer 3 Security drop-down list on the Layer 3 tab? - ANSWER-Web Authentication
Web Passthrough
What VLAN is used by DTP to negotiate a trunk link when 802.1Q encapsulation is
configured on the interface? - ANSWER-NATIVE VLAN
Virtual MAC address of HSRP version 2? - ANSWER-0000.0C9F.F00A
An API provides data to an administrator from a centralized controller. What network
management technique is being used? - ANSWER-Network Automation
What command will automatically enable SSH on a router? - ANSWER-crypto key
generate rsa
What Cisco lightweight AP modes provides BSSs? - ANSWER-local
* Default lightweight AP mode
What encryption is used to provide MICs and encryption in WPA2? - ANSWER-AES
CCMP
AD of IS-IS? - ANSWER-115
, What language format is a REST API encoding format that uses HTML-like tags to define
blocks of data? - ANSWER-XML
What is a duplex? - ANSWER-communication system is a point-to-point system of two
devices that can communicate with each other in both direction
What is half-duplex? - ANSWER-it cannot send and receive data at the same time.
Network hubs run in half-duplex mode in order to prevent collisions. Since hubs are
rare in modern LANs, the half-duplex system is not widely used in Ethernet networks
anymore.
What is a full duplex? - ANSWER-all nodes can send and receive on their port at the
same time. There are no collisions in full-duplex mode, but the host NIC and the switch
port must support the full-duplex mode
What is the IEEE of Bluetooth? - ANSWER-802.15 WPAN
What is WiMAX and it IEEE? - ANSWER--Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave
Access
-IEEE 802.16 WWAN
In cellular broadband there are two types of cellular networks, what are they? -
ANSWER-Global System for Mobile (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA).
GSM is internationally recognized, while CDMA is primarily used in the US.
Typically, it is used by rural homeowners and businesses where cable and DSL are not
