You are configuring a firewall rule to allow IPv4 DHCP requests to reach a DHCP server. Which UDP destination port does the server use? Enter the port number.
A client determines that its destination is on the local subnet. On IPv4 Ethernet, it uses to find the next-hop Ethernet address.
A client can reach a service by its IP address but needs to use its name. Which service provides the name-to-record lookup?
- A
It chooses the router path to the destination.
- B
It translates names into resource records, commonly IP addresses.
- C
It assigns the client an IP address and subnet mask.
- D
It synchronizes the client’s clock.
A client’s subnet mask indicates that a destination is on a different subnet. Where should the client send the packet next?
- A
Send it directly to the destination’s Ethernet address.
- B
Broadcast it to all devices on the local subnet.
- C
Send it to the configured default gateway.
- D
Send it to the DNS resolver for routing.
Marking packets for a preferred QoS class guarantees that they will receive better service end to end. True or false?
- A
True
- B
False
A firewall must allow a client to reach its configured NTP server using the typical NTP transport. Which UDP port should be allowed? Enter the port number.
When configuring a DHCP scope, include the correct subnet and default gateway, along with the clients should use.
You are preparing a lab to test your own DHCP server on a virtual network. Select all choices that help keep the setup isolated and avoid competing DHCP offers.
- A
Use an internal or host-only virtual network for the lab.
- B
Use bridged networking so the lab can share the physical LAN.
- C
Choose a private IPv4 subnet that does not overlap existing networks.
- D
Disable the hypervisor DHCP service on that network when testing your own DHCP server there.
A lab uses two subnets, and its router VM has a WAN interface connected to hypervisor NAT. What should you do rather than assume the hypervisor NAT adapter routes between the lab subnets?
- A
Assume the adapter automatically routes between all lab subnets.
- B
Configure routing on the router VM if the lab needs inter-subnet connectivity.
- C
Remove the isolated LAN interface from the router VM.
- D
Replace the router VM with a DNS resolver.
A client cannot reach the router’s LAN address. Select all checks identified as useful for troubleshooting this local-reachability failure.
- A
Check whether the client interface is up.
- B
Check whether the subnet mask is correct.
- C
Check for duplicate addresses.
- D
Check local filtering.
A router has working routes, but traffic leaving the network may need address translation at the boundary. Which statement correctly describes NAT?
- A
NAT selects the route, so a routing table is unnecessary.
- B
NAT is another name for a firewall.
- C
NAT only resolves host names into IP addresses.
- D
NAT may translate addresses and, for many-to-one NAT, ports; it is not the same as routing or a firewall.
Describe a controlled lab test to determine whether a QoS policy has a visible effect. State what traffic condition to create, what to compare, and why the test might show no difference without that condition.
Which port does DNS commonly use for queries?
QoS policies can include marking, shaping, policing, or assigning forwarding priority to traffic. True or false?
- A
True
- B
False
Which protocol synchronizes device clocks? Enter the protocol acronym.
What is needed to pass DHCP requests between subnets? Select one answer.
- A
A router or DHCP relay
- B
A DNS resolver
- C
A QoS traffic marker
- D
An NTP server
Which option is the example private IPv4 subnet given for a lab, assuming it does not overlap your existing networks?
- A
192.168.50.0/24
- B
8.8.8.0/24
- C
224.0.0.0/24
- D
192.0.2.0/24
You are setting up a router/firewall VM with optional internet access and a private lab network. Which interface arrangement matches the recommended topology?
- A
Connect both router interfaces to the physical LAN using bridged networking.
- B
Connect the WAN interface to the isolated lab network and the LAN interface to hypervisor NAT.
- C
Connect the WAN interface to hypervisor NAT and the LAN interface to the isolated lab network.
- D
Connect both router interfaces to the same host-only network.
A client determines that a destination is outside its local subnet. What should it do with the packet next?
- A
Send every packet directly to the DNS resolver.
- B
Send the packet to the configured default gateway.
- C
Use ARP to discover the remote destination's Ethernet address.
- D
Ask the DHCP server to forward the packet.
