NETWORK COMPONENTS

What is the function of a server?

A. It transmits packets between hosts in the same broadcast domain

It provides shared applications to end users

It routes traffic between Layer 3 devices

It creates security zones between trusted and untrusted networks

What are two functions of a server on a network? (Choose two)

Runs applications that send and retrieve data for workstations that make requests

Achieves redundancy by exclusively using virtual server clustering

Housed solely in a data center that is dedicated to a single client

Runs the same operating system in order to communicate with other servers

Handles requests from multiple workstations at the same time

What is the primary function of a Layer 3 device?

To analyze traffic and drop unauthorized traffic from the Internet

To transmit wireless traffic between hosts

Forward traffic within the same broadcast domain

To pass traffic between different networks

Which device tracks the state of active connections in order to make a decision to forward a packet through?

Firewall

Wireless access point

Router

Wireless LAN controller

When PC-A sends traffic to PC-B, which network component is in charge of receiving the packet from PC-A verifying the IP addresses, and forwarding the packet to PC-B?

Layer 2 switch

Firewall

Load balancer

Router

Which action does the router take as it forwards a packet through the network?

A. The router replaces the source and destination labels with the sending router interface label as a source and the next hop router label as a destination

B. The router encapsulates the source and destination IP addresses with the sending router IP address as the source and the neighbor IP address as the destination

C. The router encapsulates the original packet and then includes a tag that identifies the source router MAC address and transmit transparently to the destination

D. The router replaces the original source and destination MAC addresses with the sending router MAC address as the source and neighbor MAC address as the destination

What is the role of a firewall in an enterprise network?

Determines which packets are allowed to cross from unsecured to secured networks

Processes unauthorized packets and allows passage to less secure segments of the network

Forwards packets based on stateless packet inspection

D. Explicitly denies all packets from entering an administrative domain

What are network endpoints?

A. A threat to the network if they are compromised

B. Support inter-VLAN connectivity

C. Act as routers to connect a user to the service prowler network

D. Enforce policies for campus-wide traffic going to the internet

What is a function of a Layer 3 switch?

Move frames between endpoints limited to IP addresses

Transmit broadcast traffic when operating in Layer 3 mode exclusively

Forward Ethernet frames between VLANs using only MAC addresses

Flood broadcast traffic within a VLAN

What is a function of an endpoint on a network?

Allows users to record data and transmit to a file server

Connects server and client devices to a network

Provides wireless services to users in a building

Forwards traffic between VLANs on a network

Q14. What is a function of a Next-Generation IPS?

Makes forwarding decisions based on learned MAC addresses

B. Serves as a controller within a controller-based network

C. Integrates with a RADIUS server to enforce Layer 2 device authentication rules

D. Correlates user activity with network events

Q15. What is the function of Cisco Advanced Malware protection for next-generation IPS?

A. Authorizing potentially compromised wireless traffic

URL filtering

C. Authenticating end users

D. Inspecting specific files and files types for malware

What is a function performed by a web server?

Provide an application that is transmitted over HTTP

Send and retrieve email from client devices

Securely store files for FTP access

D. Authenticate and authorize a user’s identity

What is a function of an endpoint?

It passes unicast communication between hosts in a network

It is used directly by an individual user to access network services

C. It provides security between trusted and untrusted sections of the network

D. It transmits broadcast traffic between devices in the same VLAN

What is a function of Layer 3 switches?

They route traffic between devices in different VLANs.

They transmit broadcast traffic when operating in Layer 3 mode exclusively.

They forward Ethernet frames between VLANs using only MAC addresses.

They move frames between endpoints limited to IP addresses.
