Choose one answer. a. 24 b. 30 c. 23 d. 31 Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 3 Marks: 10 A network administrator has been receiving work orders about poor voice quality crossing a branch T1.The cause is determined to be users running high bandwidth file sharing applications across the T1 sending large packets delaying the smaller voice streams. Which of the following would improve voice quality? Choose one answer. a. Install a content caching proxy at the branch to reduce inbound WAN traffic b. Configure traffic shaping to reduce the bandwidth available to the file sharing application c. Upgrade switches to provide higher bandwidth ports for workstations and IP phones d. Configure a separate VLAN for the IP phones Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 4 Marks: 10

How much bandwidth does an OC-12 provide? Choose one answer. a. 1.2 Gbps b. 12 Mbps c. 45 Mbps d. 622 Mbps Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 5 Marks: 10 Which three media and connectors do 10BASE2 networks use? (Choose THREE). Choose at least one answer. a. RG-58 cable b. RJ-11 connectors c. BNC terminators d. STP cable e. T-connectors f. UTP cable Thinnet or Thin Ethernet, also referred to as 10BASE2, is a thin coaxial cable. The 10BASE2 standard uses 50-ohm coaxial cable (RG-58) with maximum lengths of 185 meters. This cable is thinner and more flexible than that used for the 10BASE5 standard. The RG-58 cable is both less expensive and easier to place. Cables in the 10BASE2 system connect with BNC connectors. The Network Interface Card (NIC) in a computer requires a T-connector where you can attach two cables to adjacent computers. Any unused connection must have a 50-ohm terminator. UTP is short for Unshielded Twisted Pair, a popular type of cable that consists of two unshielded wires twisted around each other. Due to its low cost, UTP cabling is used extensively for local-area networks (LANs) and telephone connections. UTP cabling does not offer as high bandwidth or as good protection from interference as coaxial or fiber optic cables, but it is less expensive and easier to work with. Shielded twisted pair (STP) cable encases the signal-carrying wires in a conducting shield. Partially correct Marks for this submission: 3.33/10. Question 6 Marks: 10 When determining responsibility for repair and maintenance of a T1, up to which of the following points is the local exchange carrier responsible for? Choose one answer. a. The smart jack b. The router c. The point of demarcation d. The central office

The demarcation point of a network refers to the connection point between the ISP's part of the network and the customer's portion of the network. At that point, the exchange carrier (ISP) is no longer responsible for the status and condition of the network connection. A smart jack is a Network interface device that creates the connection between the carrier and ISP, if the smart jack needs to be moved, the ISP needs to be involved with providing and installing a demarcation extension. Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 7 Marks: 10 Which device can connect to the Internet using an analog signal on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)? Choose one answer. a. Gateway b. Modem c. Router d. ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) PSTN or otherwise known as the Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) connects two end points, a sender and a receiver, with a dedicated physical circuit. Each endpoint uses the dedicated circuit to send and receive data. The circuit is created and connected at the beginning of each call and disconnected at the end of the call. The PSTN supports both voice and data transmissions over analog phone lines. To allow digital computers to connect together over the analog lines, a modem is used. A modem gets its name from the function it performs. It MOdulates digital signals into analog signals and DEModulates analog signals into digital signals. Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 8 Marks: 10 Which of the following properties describes a rate at which bits are transmitted over a WAN link? Choose one answer. a. Frequency b. Transmission speed c. Baud rate d. Throughput Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 9 Marks: 10 The __________ protocol requires time and date synchronization. You might use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to synchronize the date and time on all network computers. Choose one answer. a. CHAP b. RADIUS

c. MS-CHAP d. Kerberos The Kerberos protocol is used to authenticate user and computer connections to a Kerberos-based service. Kerberos relies on time sensitive Kerberos authentication tickets to perform the complex authentication. The system date and time on all Kerberos clients and servers must be synchronized with each other. If the date and time are not synchronized (to within a few minutes of each other) Kerberos authentication will fail. A Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, or some other time synchronization method, should be used to synchronize time on all computers in the network to ensure proper Kerberos authentication. Incorrect Marks for this submission: 0/10. Question 10 Marks: 10 You need to connect a Local Area Network (LAN) to a T-Carrier Level 1 (T1) link. Which device do you need to add to the network to make this connection? Choose one answer. a. Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU) b. Switch c. Router d. Multistation Access Unit (MAU) A CSU/DSU is a device that serves as the demarcation (Demarc) point and interface used between LAN equipment (routers) and digital circuit, typically a T-Carrier Level 1 (T1) or Integrated Service Digital Network (ISDN) circuit. It is used to terminate telephone company equipment and prepare data for router interface. Although it does not modulate or demodulate like an analog modem, it can be thought of as a digital modem. It takes digital circuits such as T1 and ISDN and converts them to digital LAN communications. Incorrect Marks for this submission: 0/10. Question 11 Marks: 10 Which line would you recommend to a customer in need of a 1.5 megabits per second (Mbps) connection to the Internet? Choose one answer. a. 56 Kbps b. BRI ISDN c. DS0 d.

Question 14 Marks: 10 Which of the following network devices is required to translate a synchronous serial connection to time division multiplexed connection? Choose one answer. a. A proxy server b. A router c. A CSU/DSU d. A content switch Incorrect Marks for this submission: 0/10. Question 15 Marks: 10 Which of the following WAN layer two protocols would be BEST suited for a full mesh topology? Choose one answer. a. MPLS b. ATM c. PPP d. Frame-relay MPLS is a fast packet data transport service that uses high speed switching architecture instead of the typical routers for most IP networks. Switching is faster than routing and can provide security based on the MPLS protocol. The advantages to using MPLS are: cost effective; faster than routed networks; more security because VPN can be built for your organization; relatively inexpensive in camparison to other private networks. Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 16 Marks: 10

Which of the following type of WAN technologies uses cell switching? Choose one answer. a. PSTN b. ATM c. T1 d. Frame relay Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 17 Marks: 10 You work at the help desk of an ISP. A customer calls to complain about the speed of his ISDN line. He is using a single BRI ISDN circuit switched B channel. What should his transmission rate be? Choose one answer. a. 64 Kbps b. 128 Kbps c. 258 Kbps d. 56 Kbps Incorrect Marks for this submission: 0/10. Question 18 Marks: 10 Which of the following WAN technologies provides a 45Mbps circuit over TDM equipment? Choose one answer. a. E3 b. SONET c. OC-12 d. T3 Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 19 Marks: 10 A company requires a hub and spoke WAN solution. Which of the following are BEST suited to meet this need? (Select THREE) Choose at least one answer. a. ISDN b. ADSL c. MPLS d. ATM e. Frame-relay f. DOCSIS

g. SONET Traditional WAN networks, based on a hub-and-spoke service architecture use Frame Relay or ATM. These technologies tend to impose bandwidth limitations. Another solution is to use an IP VPN. For an IP VPN, it depends on the network used, the type of transport protocol and the means of securing the traffic. This can use native IP for the transport and a CPE-based firewall and encryption for security. However, this has limited reach. A better solution uses MPLS to keep traffic private, which does not have the overhead of IPSec encryption and since it is a switched transport service that separate's customers' traffic is is inherintly as secure as Frame Relay and ATM. Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 20 Marks: 10 You have purchased a cable modem and a straight-through Category 5e patch cable from a local electronics store. You connect the cable modem to your computer via a hub which is already connected to your computer. However, your computer is not able to receive a DHCP address from the cable modem network DHCP server. What is the most likely cause of this problem? Choose one answer. a. The cable modem must use a Category 3 UTP cable to connect to a hub b. The cable modem must be directly connected to a computer c. The cable modem requires a crossover cable to connect to the hub d. The cable modem requires a RG-6 coaxial cable to connect to a hub Incorrect Marks for this submission: 0/10. Question 21 Marks: 10 How does the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) authenticate Point to Point Protocol (PPP) remote sessions? Choose one answer. a. By adding a secret key to the password b. By adding a secret key to the username password c. By double hashing the username and password d. By passing a username and password in plaintext PAP is one of the first authentication protocols used to authenticate remote access connections. It works with the PPP. PAP remote connections are not considered secure. During authentication, the username and password are sent between the remote server and the remote client in clear text. Clear text means that it is not encrypted. Anyone with a packet analyzer can intercept the clear text data and reassemble it. This is a large security risk. PAP authentication is not recommended and is no longer widely used. Incorrect Marks for this submission: 0/10. Question 22 Marks: 10 Which of the following WAN technology types would MOST likely be used in a SOHO environment with a few network devices? Choose one answer. a. Frame relay b. Cable Modem

Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 2 Marks: 10 A newly appointed trainee wants to know what the cause of the problem could be when you have an 802.11a/b/g access point installed with 802.11g clients which at times slows or stops working entirely. What would your reply be? Choose one answer. a. You should inform the trainee that a 2.4 GHz (Gigahertz) cordless telephone is used in the area

b. You should inform the trainee that a 3.2 GHz device is used in the area c. You should inform the trainee that an old microwave is used in the area d. You should inform the trainee that additional Wireless Access Points (WAP) are required Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 3 Marks: 10 A company guest is requesting to use their personal laptop on the company wireless network. DHCP is configured correctly for wireless and a temporary WEP key is assigned. The laptop cannot connect to the network because: Choose one answer. a. The laptop is enabled for both 802.11b and 802.11g b. The DNS server is not working properly c. The network is out of wireless connections d. MAC filtering is enabled on the WAP Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 4 Marks: 10 Your company recently installed a Wireless Access Point (WAP) to the corporate network. Members of the Sales Department use laptop computers, with wireless Network Interface Cards (NIC), and connect to the WAP. Two other businesses in your office building have WAPs. All of the WAPs have different Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) but they all use the same wireless channel and 128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption. The WAPs from the other offices appear to be causing interference on your wireless network. You need to make modifications to your Wireless LAN (WLAN) to reduce interference. What should you do? Choose one answer.

a. Change the WLAN WAP channel to a different channel than the other two WAPs b. Change the WEP encryption strength on the WLAN WAP to be different than that of the other two WAPs c. Change the WLAN WAP to the same SSID as the other two WAPs d. Change the WEP encryption strength to use 64-bit encryption DSSS devices send all data on multiple frequencies at the same time. DSSS uses more bandwidth than FHSS but it also allows greater data throughput than FHSS. FHSS devices send data on only one frequency at a time while constantly changing the frequency at which it sends data. The frequencies used at any given time are assigned by a specific frequency hopping sequence. These frequencies are aggregated into specific WAP channels. When you configure a WAP you configure a specific channel used by the WAP. On 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networks, in the U.S., there are 11 available channels. Each channel aggregates 22, 1 MHz frequencies from the 2.4 GHz range. When configuring channels on WAPs it is recommended to use WAP channels that do not overlap with other WAPs in the area. In the US, channel 1, channel 6 and channel 11 are non-overlapping channels of the 2.4GHz range. The channel used on a WAP is important to note. If two Wireless Access Points (WAPs), in close proximity, use the same wireless radio channel, it can cause signal interference. To reduce interference you should configure different, non-overlapping wireless channels on the WLAN WAPs so they do not use the same channel as the other WAPs.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and more specifically the 802 Working Group defines the specifications for each standard. The standards define the network topology, media used and the network access types for each 802.X specification. 802.11 Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) Wireless LAN There are many different 802 specifications used for the current wireless technologies. They all fall under the 802.11 standard. The main wireless standards are 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g. All three of these wireless standards use the Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) access method. Wireless devices are unable to detect collisions on the wireless connection because that cannot connect to it without first sending data packets. So instead of trying to detect collisions like on CSMA/CD (Ethernet) networks wireless devices employ collision avoidance measures. To avoid collisions CSMA/CA devices use special acknowledgement (ACK) packets and wait times to avoid two or more devices from sending packets on the network at the same time.

RADIUS verifies clients that attempt to connect to a remote access service. A RADIUS server is often used to verify dial-in, VPN and even wireless network connections. One central RADIUS server can perform RADIUS services for many remote access servers and connections on a network. Most server operating systems contain a RADIUS service/daemon. The Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 RADIUS service is called Internet Authentication Service (IAS). Linux/UNIX has many implementations of the RADIUS daemon. Correct

The Light Emitting Diode (LED) link light on the wireless card indicates it is connected. However, the computer cannot connect to any network resources or the Internet. What should the technician check FIRST? Choose one answer. a. The Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the WAP b. The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key c. The SSID broadcast status on the WAP d. The Ad-hoc setting on the WAP In this scenario a laptop appears to be connected to a secured Wireless Access Point (WAP) based on the link light indicator. However, the device cannot connect to network resources. A wireless device can associate with a WAP and appear to be connected to the WAP but be unable to access network resources. This generally happens when you connect to a WAP but enter an incorrect Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key or you do not enter a WEP key at all. To correct this you need to enter the correct WEP key to allow the device to participate on the secure network. Configuring a WEP key is very straightforward. Simply use the WAPs web administration page to select WEP security, choose encryption strength (64-bit, 128-bit and 256-bit) depending on your needs and assign a WEP key to the AP. Then you enable WEP on the host and configure the same WEP key used on the WAP. Now both the WAP and the host will use the "secret" key to encrypt packets that are sent. If you attempt to connect to a WEP-secured wireless network without the correct Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key, you will not be able to connect to the wireless network. The WEP key is used to authenticate and encrypt network transmissions. Without the correct WEP key, you cannot authenticate, and you will not be able to connect to the network.

Change the encryption method d. Change the antenna placement Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10. Question 44 Marks: 10 How can the range of an 802.11a/b/g wireless access point be increased? Choose one answer. a. Lower the output power

b. Install an external antenna c. Remove any external antennas and use the internal one d. Change the transmitting frequency to the 5 GHz (Gigahertz) range To increase the range of a Wireless Access Point (WAP) you can add an external antenna. This antenna could be a dipole/omni-directional antenna to transmit the wireless signal 360 degrees or a directional antenna to focus the wireless signal in one direction. Most WAPs have modular connectors for replacing or adding external antennas. While there are many wireless antenna types there are only two main ones that you need to consider. They are Omni-directional and Directional. Omni-directional The prefix Omni means "All", so an omni-directional antenna sends a signal 360 degrees from the center point. As a visual example, an omni-directional antenna sends out a signal much like a candle. The light/signal closest to the candle/antenna is bright but as you move away from it the light/signal loses strength. Omni-directional antennas are generally placed in the center of the wireless coverage area. These antennas are good for both point-to-point and point-to-multi-point applications. Omni-directional antennas are best suited for open office areas and provide the greatest signal coverage in wide open outdoor spaces. The three main types of omni-directional antennas that you will encounter are the vertical, dipole and the dome antennas. Most commercial home/office WAPs contain one or more vertical or dipole antennas. These are generally about 4-6 long black or grey poles. You can see an example by looking at the previous picture of the Linksys Wireless Access Point. Dome antennas are generally the shape and size of a fire detector. You install these antennas in the center of a room on the ceiling. Directional Directional antennas, unlike omni-directional antennas, only send their wireless radio signal in one direction. As a visual example, directional antenna signals emanate from the antennas much like the light from a flashlight. Some directional antennas can focus the wireless signal, much like some flashlights. Since directional antennas can focus the wireless signal in one general direction they are generally used in applications that need to send a signal down a long, narrow area. They are also good for directing a signal over a long distance, such as between two buildings. The three main types of directional antennas are the Patch used for wider directed signal coverage, and Panel and Yagi-Uda antennae for narrow beam coverage. Correct Marks for this submission: 10/10.
