3What is done to an IP packet before it is transmitted over the physical medium?

 It is encapsulated into a TCP segment.

 It is encapsulated in a Layer 2 frame.

 It is segmented into smaller individual pieces.

 It is tagged with information guaranteeing reliable delivery.

4Which statement describes the ping and tracert commands?

 Tracert uses IP addresses; ping does not.

 Ping shows whether the transmission is successful; tracert does not.

  Tracert shows each hop, while ping shows a destination reply only.

 Both ping and tracert can show results in a graphical display.

analyst use to view the MAC address a host is using to reach the default gateway?

 netstat -r

 route print

 arp -a
12What addresses are mapped by ARP?

 destination IPv4 address to the destination host name

 IPv4 address to a destination MAC address

 destination MAC address to the source IPv4 address

 destination IPv4 address to the source MAC address

13A user sends an HTTP request to a web server on a remote network. During
encapsulation for this request, what information is added to the address field of a
frame to indicate the destination?

 the MAC address of the default gateway

 the MAC address of the destination host

 the network domain of the destination host

 the IP address of the default gateway

 Navigation Bar

14An employee complains that a Windows PC cannot connect to the Internet. A

network technician issues the ipconfig command on the PC and is shown an IP
address of 169.254.10.3. Which two conclusions can be drawn? (Choose two.)

 The PC cannot contact a DHCP server.

 The DNS server address is misconfigured.

 The PC is configured to obtain an IP address automatically.

 The default gateway address is not configured.

 The enterprise network is misconfigured for dynamic routing.

15Which value, that is contained in an IPv4 header field, is decremented by each

router that receives a packet?

23What mechanism is used by a router to prevent a received IPv4 packet from

traveling endlessly on a network?

 It checks the value of the TTL field and if it is 100, it discards the packet and sends a Destination
Unreachable message to the source host.

 It increments the value of the TTL field by 1 and if the result is 100, it discards the packet and sends a
Parameter Problem message to the source host.

 It checks the value of the TTL field and if it is 0, it discards the packet and sends a Destination
Unreachable message to the source host.

 It decrements the value of the TTL field by 1 and if the result is 0, it discards the packet and sends a
Time Exceeded message to the source host.
