CCNP CHAPTER 2 TEST QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
What is true about TCAM lookups that are associated with CEF switching? - Answer-A
single TCAM lookup provides Layer 2, Layer 3, and ACL information.
A user needs to access a file server that is located in another department. Which layer
of the Cisco Hierarchical Network Model will process the traffic first? - Answer-access
Which family of Cisco switches is specifically designed for data centers? - Answer-
Nexus 7000
In terms of design, which layer of the hierarchical model is the most complex? - Answer-
distribution Layer
Why does extending layer 3 switching to the access layer improve scalability? - Answer-
VLANs are terminated on the access layer devices.
Which layer 3 switching method used by Catalyst switches offers the greatest
performance? - Answer-CEF
What is the suggested solution for routing when Layer 3 routing is extended to the
access layer? - Answer-run an IGP between the distribution and core layers and use
static default routes at the access layer
What type of specialized memory is used to facilitate high performance switching in
Cisco multilayer switches? - Answer-ternary content addressable memory (TCAM)
Which portion of the enterprise network provides access to network communication
services for the end users and devices that are spread over a single geographic
location? - Answer-campus module
For what is the control plane on a catalyst switch responsible? - Answer-control of the
routing protocols and processes running on the switch
What are two responsibilities of devices that are located at the core layer of the
hierarchical design model? - Answer-high-speed backbone switching
interconnection of distribution layer devices
