CCNA 4 v6.0 Chapter 1 Exam Answers 100%

1. A small company with 10 employees uses a single LAN to share information between computers. Which type of connection to the Internet would be appropriate for this company?

a dialup connection that is supplied by their local telephone service provider

Virtual Private Networks that would enable the company to connect easily and securely with employees

private dedicated lines through their local service provider

a broadband service, such as DSL, through their local service provider*

2. Which network scenario will require the use of a WAN?

Employee workstations need to obtain dynamically assigned IP addresses.

Employees need to connect to the corporate email server through a VPN while traveling.*

Employees in the branch office need to share files with the headquarters office that is located in a separate building on the same campus network.

Employees need to access web pages that are hosted on the corporate web servers in the DMZ within their building.

3. Which statement describes a characteristic of a WAN?

A WAN operates within the same geographic scope of a LAN, but has serial links.

WAN networks are owned by service providers.*

All serial links are considered WAN connections.

A WAN provides end-user network connectivity to the campus backbone.

4. What are two common types of circuit-switched WAN technologies? (Choose two.)

Frame Relay

DSL

PSTN*

ATM

ISDN*

5. Which two devices are needed when a digital leased line is used to provide a connection between the customer and the service provider? (Choose two.)

access server

CSU*

Layer 2 switch

DSU*

dialup modem

6. What is a requirement of a connectionless packet-switched network?

Each packet has to carry only an identifier.

The network predetermines the route for a packet.

Full addressing information must be carried in each data packet.*

A virtual circuit is created for the duration of the packet delivery.

7. What is an advantage of packet-switched technology over circuit-switched technology?

Packet-switched networks are less susceptible to jitter than circuit-switched networks are.

Packet-switched networks can efficiently use multiple routes inside a service provider network.*

Packet-switched networks do not require an expensive permanent connection to each endpoint.

Packet-switched networks usually experience lower latency than circuit-switched networks experience.

8. A new corporation needs a data network that must meet certain requirements. The network must provide a low cost connection to sales people dispersed over a large geographical area. Which two types of WAN infrastructure would meet the requirements? (Choose two.)

DWDM*

10. What are two common high-bandwidth fiber-optic media standards? (Choose two.)

ANSI

ATM

ITU

SDH*

SONET*

11. Which WAN technology is cell-based and well suited to carry voice and video traffic?

ATM*

ISDN

ATM

ISDN*

MPLS

dialup*

Frame Relay

13. A company needs to interconnect several branch offices across a metropolitan area.

17. Which feature is used when connecting to the Internet using DSL?

DSLAM*

CMTS

IEEE 802.16

LTE

18. Which connectivity method would be best for a corporate employee who works from home two days a week, but needs secure access to internal corporate databases?

cable

DSL

VPN*

WiMAX

19. Which wireless technology provides Internet access through cellular networks?

satellite

ATM

ISDN

municipal Wi-Fi

VPN*

22. What can cause a reduction in available bandwidth on a cable broadband connection?

smaller cells

number of subscribers*

committed information rate

distance from the central office of the provider

23. Which equipment is needed for an ISP to provide Internet connections through cable service?

CMTS*

DSLAM

CSU/DSU

access server

24. Which geographic scope requirement would be considered a distributed WAN scope?

local

one-to-one

one-to-many

many-to-many*

regional

global

25. A corporation is looking for a solution to connect multiple, newly established remote branch offices. Which consideration is important when selecting a private WAN connection rather than a public WAN connection?

lower cost

higher data transmission rate

website and file exchange service support

data security and confidentiality during transmission*

26. Match the type of WAN device or service to the descriptions. (Not all options are used.)

devices and inside wiring that are located on the enterprise edge and connect to a carrier link => CPE
a physical connection from the customer to the service provider POP => Local Loop
customer devices that pass the data from a customer network for transmission over the WAN => DTE
