CISCO Certification Questions

What is CISCO CERTIFICATION ?

Cisco Certification is an IT Professional certification program for Cisco products taken by Networking Professionals. CISCO provides Cisco career certifications at five levels: Entry, Associate, Professional, Expert, and Architect levels. CCENT, CCNA and CCNP are the popular certifications in Cisco at different levels. IT professionals aiming for CISCO certifications should have strong knowledge on the fundamentals of the networking concepts, advanced concepts.

 

CCENT is an entry level certification - CCENT certification covers the following topics: operations of data networks, switched networks, IP addressing scheme and IP services to meet network requirements. Implementing a small routed network, identifying security threats, WAN tasks and more.

 

CCNA is an associate level certification - CCNA certification covers topics as Internetworking basics and models, OSI reference models, Ethernet, Data Encapsulation, TCP/IP, IP addresses, Sub netting basics, backing up and Cisco IOS and configuration, Routing basics, switching services, VLAN basics and memberships, IPv6 addressing and Routing protocols, Virtual private networks and more.

 

CCNP is a professional level certification - CCNP certification covers the following topics in the syllabus: Implementing a multi-area OSPF Network, eBGP based solution, IPv6 based solution, IPv4 or IPv6 based redistribution solution, Layer3 Path Control Solution, Security Extension of layer 2, Switch based layer 3 services, Infrastructure to support advanced services, Troubleshoot Multi Protocol system networks, Maintain and monitor network performance and more.

 

We have a large database of sample questions on 'Cisco certifications' that are frequently asked in the certification exam for your practice.

Q:

A router has learned three possible routes that could be used to reach a destination network. One route is from EIGRP and has a composite metric of 20684570. Another route is from OSPF with a metric of 852. The last is from RIPv2 and has a metric of 4. Which route or routes will the router install in the routing table?

A. the OSPF route
B. the EIGRP route
C. the RIPv2 route
D. all three routes
E. the OSPF and RIPv2 routes

Answer

Answer : B


Explanation :


This is one of those tricky questions just to test your knowledge of routing protocols and their administrative distance. Let’s look at the AD of popular routing protocols below:
 Routing Protocol (Source)                           AdministrativeDistance(AD)                                                             


  Directly connected                                        0


  Static Route                                                  1


  EIGRP                                                           90


  Summary Route(EIGRP)                              5


  OSPF                                                           110


  RIP                                                              120


Fom the above table, you can see that EIGRP has the lowest AD from all of the above mentioned routing protocols. So, the router will choose to use the routing protocol which has lowest Administrative Distance which in this case is B. EIGRP

Q:

What does the command confreg 0x2142 provide?

A) It is used to restart the router B) It is used to bypass the configuration in NVRAM
C) It is used to enter ROM monitor mode D) It is used to view the lost password
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) It is used to bypass the configuration in NVRAM

Explanation:

The default configuration setting is 0x2102, which tells the router to load the IOS from flash and the configuration from NVRAM. 0x2142 tells the router to bypass the configuration in NVRAM so that you can perform password recovery.

Q:

Acknowledgments, sequencing , and flow control are characteristics  of which OSI layer?

A) Layer 2 B) Layer 3
C) Layer 4 D) Lawer 7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Layer 4

Explanation:

A reliable Transport layer connection uses acknowledgments to make sure all data is transmitted and received reliably. A reliable connection is defined by a virtual circuit that uses acknowledgments, sequencing, and flow control, which are characteristics of the transport layer.

Q:

If a host on a network has the address 172.16.45.14/30, what is the subnetwork this host belongs to?

A) 172.16.45.0 B) 172.16.45.4
C) 172.16.45.8 D) 172.16.45.12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 172.16.45.12

Explanation:

A/30, regardless of the class of address, has a 252 in the fourth octet. This means we have a block size of 4 and our subnets are o,4,8,12,16, etc. Address 14 is obviously in the 12 subnet.

Q:

You need to subnet a network that has 5 subnets, each wit at least 16 hosts. Which classful subnet mask would you use?

A) 255.255.255.192 B) 255.255.255.224
C) 255.255.255.240 D) 255.255.255.248
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 255.255.255.224

Explanation:

You need 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. The mask 255.255.255.240 provides 16 subnets with 14 hosts - this will not work. The mask 255.255.255.224 provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. This is the best answer.
