scenario the administrator is in user EXEC mode, as indicated by the > symbol after the
hostname. The administrator would need to use the enable command to move into privileged
EXEC mode before entering the configure terminal command.

16. Which keys act as a hot key combination that is used to interrupt an IOS process?

Ctrl-Shift-X
Ctrl-C
Ctrl-Shift-6
Ctrl-Z

Explanation: The Cisco IOS provides both hot keys and shortcuts for configuring routers and
switches. The Ctrl-Shift-6 hot key combination is used to interrupt an IOS process, such as a
ping or traceroute. Ctrl-Z is used to exit the configuration mode. Ctrl-C aborts the current
command. Ctrl-Shift-X has no IOS function.

17. What function does pressing the Tab key have when entering a command in IOS?

It moves the cursor to the beginning of the next line.

It exits configuration mode and returns to user EXEC mode.
It completes the remainder of a partially typed word in a command.
It aborts the current command and returns to configuration mode.

Explanation: Pressing the Tab key after a command has been partially typed will cause the
IOS to complete the rest of the command.

18. While troubleshooting a network problem, a network administrator issues the show
version command on a router. What information can be found by using this command?

the version of the routing protocol that is running on the router

the bandwidth, encapsulation, and I/O statistics on the interfaces
the amount of NVRAM, DRAM, and flash memory installed on the router
differences between the backup configuration and the current running configuration

Explanation: The show version command displays much information about the device,
including the amount of memory (flash, NVRAM, and DRAM) that is installed on the device.

19. Which interface is the default SVI on a Cisco switch?

VLAN 99
FastEthernet 0/1
GigabitEthernet 0/1
VLAN 1

Explanation: An SVI is a virtual interface and VLAN 1 is enabled by default on Cisco

switches. VLAN 99 must be configured to be used. FastEthernet 0/1 and GigabitEthernet 0/1
are physical interfaces.

10. What is the effect of using the Router# copy running-config startup-config command
on a router?

The contents of ROM will change.

The contents of NVRAM will change.
The contents of flash will change.
The contents of RAM will change.

Explanation: The command copy running-config startup-config copies the running-

configuration file from RAM into NVRAM and saves it as the startup-configuration file. Since
NVRAM is none-volatile memory it will be able to retain the configuration details when the
router is powered off.

11. A network administrator enters the service password-encryption command into the
configuration mode of a router. What does this command accomplish?

This command prevents someone from viewing the running configuration passwords.
This command automatically encrypts passwords in configuration files that are currently
stored in NVRAM.
This command provides an exclusive encrypted password for external service personnel who
are required to do router maintenance.
This command enables a strong encryption algorithm for the enable secret password
command.
This command encrypts passwords as they are transmitted across serial WAN links.

Explanation: The startup-config and running-config files display most passwords in plaintext.
Use the service password-encryption global config command to encrypt all plaintext
passwords in these files.

12. What happens when the transport input ssh command is entered on the switch vty
lines?

Communication between the switch and remote users is encrypted.

The switch requires a username/password combination for remote access.
The SSH client on the switch is enabled.
The switch requires remote connections via a proprietary client software.

Explanation: The transport input ssh command when entered on the switch vty (virtual
terminal lines) will encrypt all inbound controlled telnet connections.

13. A small office uses a wireless router to connect to a cable modem for Internet access.
The network administrator receives a call that one office computer cannot access external
websites. The first troubleshooting step that the network administrator performs is to ping
the wireless router from the office computer. Which troubleshooting technique does this
represent?

substitution
bottom-up
top-down
divide-and-conquer

Explanation: A ping to the wireless router can verify Layer 3 connectivity. As a

troubleshooting method, this is the divide-and-conquer approach.

14. What are two common causes of a physical layer network connectivity problem?
(Choose two.)

an incorrect default gateway

a monitor unplugged
an Ethernet cable plugged into a wrong port
a faulty Ethernet cable
an unassigned IP address

Explanation: An Ethernet cable plugged into a wrong port and a faulty Ethernet cable are two
possible causes for physical network connectivity issues. An incorrect default gateway
configuration and a lack of an IP address will cause logical connectivity issues.

15. Refer to the exhibit. A web designer calls to report that the web server web-
s1.cisco.com is not reachable through a web browser. The technician uses command line
utilities to verify the problem and to begin the troubleshooting process. Which two things
can be determined about the problem? (Choose two.)

The web server at 192.168.0.10 is reachable from the source host.

DNS cannot resolve the IP address for the server web-s1.cisco.com.
A router is down between the source host and the server web-s1.cisco.com.
There is a problem with the web server software on web-s1.cisco.com.
The default gateway between the source host and the server at 192.168.0.10 is down.

Explanation: The successful result of the ping to the IP address indicates that the network is
operational and the web server is online. However, the fact that the ping to the domain name
of the server fails indicates there is a DNS issue, namely that the host cannot resolve the
domain name to its associated IP address.

16. Which command would a technician use to display network connections on a host
computer?

ipconfig
nslookup
tracert
netstat

Explanation: The netstat command is a network utility that can be used to display active TCP
connections that are open and running on a networked host.

17. During normal operation, from which location do most Cisco switches run the IOS?

disk drive
flash
RAM
NVRAM

Explanation: When a Cisco switch is powered on, the IOS is copied into RAM. The switch
then runs the IOS from RAM, thus enhancing operating performance.

18. A technician is setting up a network in a new room. What is the best device to use to
connect the PCs to each other and to the rest of the LAN?

gateway
firewall
switch
router

Explanation: A gateway is a router used to interconnect networks and is not necessary in

this situation. A hub does not segment a network and allows collisions to take place on the
network segment. A switch will interconnect all the devices in a LAN.

19. What are two requirements when using out-of-band configuration of a Cisco IOS
network device? (Choose two.)

HTTP access to the device

a terminal emulation client
Telnet or SSH access to the device
a direct connection to the console or AUX port
a connection to an operational network interface on the device

Explanation: A connection to an operational network interface on the device, and Telnet,

SSH, or HTTP access are required for in-band management of Cisco IOS networking devices.
