True or false: If a device can reach a service over IPv4, that proves the device can also reach it over IPv6.
- A
True
- B
False
True or false: Assigning devices to separate VLANs is, by itself, a complete security policy for those devices.
- A
True
- B
False
A campus needs a network link between two buildings. Which design choice best fits the guidance for selecting Ethernet media?
- A
Use ordinary endpoint copper cabling regardless of distance or equipment.
- B
Choose fiber and transceivers that match the required speed, distance, and equipment.
- C
Use a Wi-Fi access point as the physical link between the buildings.
- D
Choose the cable type based only on the IP subnet assigned to the link.
A design must forward packets between two different IP networks. Which device role directly performs this function according to the network design guidance?
- A
A wireless access point, because it forwards all packets between IP networks.
- B
A router, which forwards packets between IP networks using IP addresses.
- C
An Ethernet switch, because it forwards frames between networks using MAC addresses.
- D
A firewall, because traffic rules alone create the routes between networks.
A staff LAN needs 50 IPv4 host addresses. Under conventional host-counting, why is the example 192.168.40.0/26 subnet sufficient?
- A
It has 62 usable host addresses after reserving the network and broadcast addresses.
- B
It has 50 total addresses, one for each staff member.
- C
It has 64 usable host addresses because conventional subnets do not reserve any addresses.
- D
It has 30 usable host addresses, which is enough for the staff network.
Select all the private IPv4 address ranges listed in the network plan.
- A
10.0.0.0/8
- B
172.16.0.0/12
- C
192.168.0.0/16
- D
172.32.0.0/12
- E
2001:db8::/32
A client cannot reach a service using IPv6, although IPv4 access works. Select all checks supported by the troubleshooting guidance. Include DNS checks only if the service is accessed by hostname.
- A
Verify the host's IPv6 address and prefix.
- B
Check the host's IPv6 default route and the router's IPv6 interface and route.
- C
Check IPv6-specific firewall policy.
- D
Verify that the service listens on IPv6.
- E
If accessing the service by hostname, check its DNS records.
- F
Assume the IPv4 default gateway provides the IPv6 route automatically.
An IPv4 subnet uses a /26 prefix. How many bits remain for addresses within the block?
What addressing information does an Ethernet switch use to forward frames within a LAN?
A laptop cannot reach its default gateway. Explain a sensible troubleshooting sequence and name the network settings or components to check first.
An organization needs a high-speed Ethernet link between buildings. Which choice best fits the guidance for selecting link media?
- A
Twisted-pair copper, regardless of distance
- B
Fiber with transceivers matched to the required link
- C
A wireless access point in place of the link
- D
An IPv6 prefix
A workstation can reach a service by its IP address but not by its hostname. Which should be investigated first?
- A
The Ethernet cable, because hostnames use a separate link
- B
The VLAN, because DNS is not used after IP configuration
- C
DNS, because the IP destination works but the hostname does not
- D
The default gateway, because it assigns hostnames to applications
A device on a LAN needs to forward Ethernet frames to other local devices using their MAC addresses. What device performs this function?
Devices in two VLANs need to communicate with each other. Which network function is generally required to carry traffic between those VLANs?
- A
A wireless access point alone
- B
A router or Layer 3 switch
- C
A longer Ethernet cable
- D
A DNS server
A DHCP-managed subnet also contains devices with manually assigned IPv4 addresses. What should the administrator do to prevent address conflicts?
- A
Exclude the statically assigned addresses from the DHCP pool
- B
Move the DHCP pool into a different VLAN without checking addresses
- C
Change the Ethernet standard
- D
Disable the default gateway on all clients
For the IPv4 subnet 192.168.40.64/27, what is the broadcast address?
A network designer proposes 2001:db8::/32 for a production IPv6 deployment. Which response is correct?
- A
Use it as the required prefix for every production LAN
- B
Use it only for a subnet that needs IPv4 broadcast addressing
- C
Do not use it for production addressing; it is reserved for documentation and examples
- D
Use it only as an IPv4 private range
A team is adapting an IPv4 LAN discovery procedure for IPv6. IPv6 does not use an IPv4-style address, so the procedure must not depend on one.
A device has an IPv6 link-local address. It can use that address to communicate only on its .
