Options
A. Physical layer
B. Data Link layer
C. Network layer
D. None. It is a router problem.
Correct Answer

line protocol is down, then you are not receiving (Data Link) keepalives from the remote end.

1. Which of the following command options are displayed when you use the Router# show frame-relay? command?
You need 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. The mask 255.255.255.240 provides 16 subnets with 14 hosts-this will not work. The mask 255.255.255.224 provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. This is the best answer.
6. Which command is required for connectivity in a Frame Relay network if Inverse ARP is not operational?
If you have a router in your Frame Relay network that does not support IARP, you must create Frame Relay maps on your router, which provide known DLCI-to-IP address mappings.
7. What VTP mode allows you to change VLAN information on the switch?
A CIDR address of /19 is 255.255.224.0. This is a Class B address, so that is only 3 subnet bits, but it provides 13 host bits, or 8 subnets, each with 8,190 hosts.
