Which encapsulations can be configured on a serial interface?
Ethernet
Token Ring
HDLC
Frame Relay
PPP
Options
A. 1 and 4
B. 2 only
C. 3, 4 and 5
D. All of the above
Correct Answer
3, 4 and 5
Explanation
Ethernet and Token Ring are LAN technologies and cannot be configured on a serial interface. PPP, HDLC, and Frame Relay are layer 2 WAN technologies that are typically configured on a serial interface.

1. A switch has been configured for three different VLANs: VLAN2, VLAN3, and VLAN4. A router has been added to provide communication between the VLANs. What type of interface is necessary on the router if only one connection is to be made between the router and the switch?
Although you can use either 100Mbps or 1Gbps Ethernet, the 100Mbps is necessary at a minimum and is the best answer to this question. You need to trunk the link from the switch to the router to make this connection work with inter-VLAN communication.
2. You want to improve network performance by increasing the bandwidth available to hosts and limit the size of the broadcast domains. Which of the following options will achieve this goal?
By creating and implementing VLANs in your switched network, you can break up broadcast domains at layer 2. For hosts on different VLANs to communicate, you must have a router or layer 3 switch.
3. Which of the following modes are valid when a switch port is used as a VLAN trunk?
NAT is not perfect, but there are some advantages. It conserves global addresses, which allow us to add millions of hosts to the Internet without "real" IP addresses. This provides flexibility in our corporate networks. NAT can also allow you to use the same subnet more than once in the same network without overlapping networks.
5. Network 206.143.5.0 was assigned to the Acme Company to connect to its ISP. The administrator of Acme would like to configure one router with the commands to access the Internet. Which commands could be configured on the Gateway router to allow Internet access to the entire network?
Gateway(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 206.143.5.2
There are actually three different ways to configure the same default route, but only two are shown in the answer. First, you can set a default route with the
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 mask and then specify the next hop, as in option A. Or you can use
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 and use the exit interface instead of the next hop. Finally, you can use option D with the
ip default-network command.
6. What PPP protocol provides dynamic addressing, authentication, and multilink?
Correct Answer: Stops an interface from sending periodic dynamic updates but not from receiving updates.
Explanation:
The
passive command, short for passive-interface, stops regular updates from being sent out an interface. However, the interface can still receive updates.
