TRUE/FALSE
1. A Windows 2000 Server can be configured to operate as a Telnet server, so that information on it can
be accessed from any computer using Telnet.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 272
2. With TCP, the sequence number shows the frame sequence in a stream of frames, but does not indicate
the amount of data in the frame.
ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 253
3. IP is a connectionless protocol.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 258
4. IP can convert packets from one size to another for dissimilar networks.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 259
5. IPv6 addressing enables one IP identifier to be associated with several different interfaces, so it can
better handle multimedia traffic.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 265
6. The purpose of IPv6 is to provide a logical growth path from IPv4 so that applications and network
devices can handle new demands as they arise.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 286
7. The extension header(s) must appear in the packet before the IPv6 main header.
ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 267
8. A master DNS server is the DNS server that is the main administrative server for a zone and thus is
also called the authoritative server for that zone.
ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 278
9. The DNS dynamic update protocol enables information in a DNS server to be automatically updated.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 279
10. RMON is a monitoring standard that uses remote network nodes, such as workstations or network
devices, to perform network monitoring.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 283
