|ALREADY GRADED A+
1. Which protocol is primarily used by OSPF to exchange routing information
between neighbors?
A. TCP
B. UDP
C. IP
D. ICMP
Correct answer: C
OSPF runs directly over IP using protocol number 89, not TCP or UDP.
2. In an enterprise network, what is the main function of the control plane?
A. Forwarding packets at wire speed
B. Making routing and switching decisions
C. Encrypting user traffic
D. Monitoring bandwidth usage
Correct answer: B
The control plane is responsible for building routing tables and making
forwarding decisions.
3. Which spanning-tree feature allows rapid transition of ports to the
forwarding state?
A. PVST+
B. RSTP
C. MST
D. BPDU Guard
Correct answer: B
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) significantly reduces convergence time.
,4. What is the default administrative distance of OSPF?
A. 90
B. 100
C. 110
D. 120
Correct answer: C
OSPF has a default administrative distance of 110.
5. Which component of Cisco SD-WAN is responsible for centralized policy
management?
A. vBond
B. vSmart
C. vManage
D. vEdge
Correct answer: C
vManage provides centralized configuration, monitoring, and policy
management.
6. Which type of NAT allows multiple internal hosts to share a single public IP
address?
A. Static NAT
B. Dynamic NAT
C. Policy NAT
D. PAT
Correct answer: D
Port Address Translation (PAT) uses port numbers to multiplex connections.
7. What does the EIGRP metric primarily consider by default?
A. Bandwidth and delay
B. Hop count
C. Cost only
D. Load and reliability
Correct answer: A
EIGRP uses bandwidth and delay by default to calculate the metric.
, 8. Which QoS mechanism is used to prevent congestion before it occurs?
A. Policing
B. Shaping
C. WRED
D. Classification
Correct answer: C
Weighted Random Early Detection drops packets early to avoid congestion.
9. Which protocol is commonly used for secure remote CLI access to network
devices?
A. Telnet
B. FTP
C. SSH
D. SNMP
Correct answer: C
SSH provides encrypted remote management access.
10.In OSPF, what is the purpose of an Area Border Router (ABR)?
A. Connects OSPF to other routing protocols
B. Connects backbone area to non-backbone areas
C. Redistributes routes into OSPF
D. Provides default routing
Correct answer: B
ABRs connect Area 0 with other OSPF areas.
11.Which technology allows multiple VLANs to be carried over a single physical
link?
A. EtherChannel
B. Trunking
C. Access mode
D. Port security
Correct answer: B
Trunking uses tagging (such as 802.1Q) to carry multiple VLANs.
