CCNA Competency Workshop
Comprehensive Finals Test (Qns & Ans)
2025
1. Which of the following routing protocols uses hop count as its
only metric?
- A. OSPF
- B. EIGRP
- C. RIP
- D. BGP
ANS: C. RIP
©/2025
, Rationale: The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) uses hop
count as its only metric to determine the best path to a destination.
2. Which type of address is used to identify a device within a
local network segment?
- A. IP address
- B. MAC address
- C. Subnet mask
- D. Gateway address
ANS: B. MAC address
Rationale: A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a
unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for
communication within a local network segment.
Fill-in-the-Blank Questions
3. The process of dividing a large network into smaller, more
manageable sub-networks is called __________.
ANS: subnetting
Rationale: Subnetting is the process of dividing a large
network into smaller sub-networks, improving manageability and
network performance.

,4. The protocol used to securely establish a remote command-
line session over a network is __________.
ANS: SSH
Rationale: Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol used to securely
establish remote command-line sessions over a network.
True/False Questions
5. True or False: VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) can be
used to segment network traffic within a single switch.
ANS: True
Rationale: VLANs can segment network traffic within a
single switch, allowing for logical separation of devices into
different broadcast domains.
6. True or False: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to
prevent routing loops in an IP network.
ANS: False
©/2025
, Rationale: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to prevent
switching loops in a bridged (switched) network, not routing
loops.
Multiple Response Questions
7. Which of the following are characteristics of IPv6? (Select all
that apply)
- A. 128-bit address space
- B. Improved security features
- C. Broadcast support
- D. Simplified header format
ANSs: A, B, D
Rationale: IPv6 has a 128-bit address space, improved
security features (such as IPsec), and a simplified header format.
IPv6 does not support broadcast; it uses multicast and anycast.
8. Which of the following protocols operate at the Transport
layer of the OSI model? (Select all that apply)
- A. TCP
- B. UDP
- C. ICMP
