90. What occurs when authentication is configured on an EIGRP router?
    • After EIGRP authentication has been configured, the router must be rebooted to be able to reestablish adjacencies.
    • If adjacencies are displayed after the use of the show ipv6 eigrp neighbors command, then EIGRP authentication was successful.*
    • Only one router is required to be configured for EIGRP authentication.
    • If only one router has been configured for EIGRP authentication, any prior adjacencies will remain intact.
91. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is configuring PVST+ for the three switches.
    
    What will be a result of entering these commands?
    • S2 will set the priority value for VLAN 10 to 24576
    • S1 will set the priority value for VLAN 20 to 24596
    • S3 will set the priority value for VLAN 30 to 8192*
    • S1 will set the priority value for VLAN 10 to 0
92. What are two drawbacks to turning spanning tree off and having multiple paths through the Layer 2 switch network? (Choose two.)
    • Broadcast frames are transmitted indefinitely.*
    • Port security shuts down all of the port that attached devices.The switch acts like a hub.
    • The Mac address table becomes unstable.*
    • Port security becomes unstable.
93. Match the OSPF router type description with its name
    
    
    Internal routers -> All the router of this type have identical LSDBs.
    Area border routers (ABR) -> All the routers of this type maintain separate LSDBs for each area to which they connect.
    Autonomous System Boundary Routers (ASBR) -> All the router of this type can import non-OSPF network information to the OSPF network and vice versa using route redistribution.
    backbone router -> none
94. What is a requirement to configure a trunking EtherChannel between two switches?
    • The participating interfaces must be on the same module on a switch.
    • The participating interfaces must be physically contiguous on a switch.
    • The participating interfaces must be assigned the same VLAN number on both switches.*
    • The allowed range of VLANs must be the same on both switches.
95. What should be installed on a Cisco router as a prerequisite for installing the Data, Security, and Unified Communications licenses in IOS 15?
    • the IP Base license*
    • the Cisco License Manager
    • the Enterprise Services package
    • the Enterprise Base license
96. After implementing an IPv6 network, the administrator notices that the OSPFv3 process is not starting on the routers. What could be the problem?​
    • No router IDs are configured on the routers.*
    • Authentication was not implemented between the routers.
    • The routers were not configured with the network command.​
    • The routers are configured with the default priority.
97. Which statement describes the load balancing behavior of EIGRP?
    • EIGRP for IPv6 supports unequal cost load balancing, but EIGRP for IPv4 does not.
    • EIGRP for IPv4 supports unequal cost load balancing, but EIGRP for IPv6 does not.
    • Neither EIGRP for IPv4 nor EIGRP for IPv6 support unequal cost load balancing.
    • Both EIGRP for IPv4 and EIGRP for IPv6 support unequal cost load balancing.*
98. What is the purpose of the Cisco License Manager?
    • It is a free software application that helps network administrators rapidly deploy multiple Cisco software licenses across their networks.*
    • It is software that provides the Product Activation Key for the license and important information regarding the Cisco End User License Agreement.
    • It is software that comes pre-installed with the software image and contains licenses for the customer-specified packages and features.
    • It is a web-based portal for getting and registering individual software licenses.
99. While attending a conference, participants are using laptops for network connectivity. When a guest speaker attempts to connect to the network, the laptop fails to display any available wireless networks. The access point is probably operating in which mode?
    • passive*
    • mixed
    • open
    • active
100. Refer to the exhibit and the following error message from the SwB switch.
     00:22:43: %SPANTREE-7-RECV_1Q_NON_TRUNK: Received 802.1Q BPDU on non trunk FastEthernet0/1 VLAN1
     00:22:43: %SPANTREE-7-BLOCK_PORT_TYPE: Blocking FastEthernet0/1 on VLAN0001. Inconsistent port type.
     Considering that the link between the two switches is good and the correct type, what could cause this error message?
     • The SwA port has IEEE 802.1Q trunking enabled and the SwB port has ISL trunking enabled.
     • The SwA port is configured as a trunk port and the SwB port is configured as an access port.*
     • The Spanning Tree Protocol has been disabled on both switches.
     • The Spanning Tree Protocol has been disabled on one switch.
     • The IEEE 802.1Q trunking port has a speed mismatch on one of the switches.
101. A network administrator is designing a wireless network for a new school building. The wireless network is for students using their own mobile devices. The network administrator wants to provide the most throughput possible even if the throughput is reduced by students using older devices. Which technology would be best in this situation?
     • 802.11g*
     • 802.11ac
     • 802.11n
     • 802.11ad
102. A company has deployed four 48-port access layer switches to a switch bock. For redundancy each access layer switch will connect to two distribution layer switches. Additionally, link aggregation will be used to combine 10 Gbps interfaces to form 20 Gbps trunk links form the access layer switches to the distribution layer switches. How many switch ports on the access layer switches will be available in the switch block to support end devices?
     • 176
     • 184*
     • 188
     • 192
103. What is a feature of the OSPF routing protocol?
     • OSPF authentication is configured in the same way on IPV4 and IPV6 networks.
     • The SPF algorithm chooses the best path based on 30-second updates.
     • Routers can be grouped into autonomous systems to support a hierarchical system.
     • It scales well in both small and large networks.*
104. Refer to the exhibit. If the switch has been configured for PVST+ mode, what command output would replace the question marks?
