- route that is learned via OSPF
- route that is learned via EIGRP
- route that is manually entered by a network administrator
- directly connected interface
- local route interface
A local route interface routing table entry is found when a router runs IOS 15 or higher or if IPv6 routing is enabled. Whenever an interface is addressed and enabled (made active), a directly connected interface is automatically shown in the routing table.

22. Which parameter is commonly used to identify a wireless network name when a home wireless AP is being configured?
- ESS
- SSID
- ad hoc
- BESS
The SSID is used to name a wireless network. This parameter is required in order for a wireless client to attach to a wireless AP.
23. What information within a data packet does a router use to make forwarding decisions?
- the destination service requested
- the destination IP address
- the destination host name
- the destination MAC address
A Layer 3 device like a router uses a Layer 3 destination IP address to make a forwarding decision.
24. Which protocol creates a virtual point-to-point connection to tunnel unencrypted traffic between Cisco routers from a variety of protocols?
- GRE
- IPsec
- OSPF
- IKE
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco that encapsulates multiprotocol traffic between remote Cisco routers. GRE does not encrypt data. OSPF is a open source routing protocol. IPsec is a suite of protocols that allow for the exchange of information that can be encrypted and verified. Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a key management standard used with IPsec.
25. Which two statements are true about NTP servers in an enterprise network? (Choose two.)
- NTP servers at stratum 1 are directly connected to an authoritative time source.
- NTP servers ensure an accurate time stamp on logging and debugging information.
- There can only be one NTP server on an enterprise network.
- All NTP servers synchronize directly to a stratum 1 time source.
- NTP servers control the mean time between failures (MTBF) for key network devices.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time across all devices on the network to make sure accurate timestamping on devices for managing, securing and troubleshooting. NTP networks use a hierarchical system of time sources. Each level in this hierarchical system is called a stratum. The stratum 1 devices are directly connected to the authoritative time sources.
26. What is true concerning physical and logical topologies?
- Physical topologies display the IP addressing scheme of each network.
- Logical topologies refer to how a network transfers data between devices.
- The logical topology is always the same as the physical topology.

Physical topologies show the physical interconnection of devices. Logical topologies show the way the network will transfer data between connected nodes.
27. Which layer of the hierarchical design model is a control boundary between the other layers?
- access
- network
- distribution
- core
The three design layers from lowest to highest are access, distribution, and core. The distribution layer commonly provides policy-based connectivity which permits or denies traffic based on predefined parameters. The distribution layer also acts as a control boundary between the access and core layers.
28. Which protocol or service allows network administrators to receive system messages that are provided by network devices?
- NTP

A wireless LAN controller (WLC) can be configured to manage multiple lightweight access points (LWAPs). On the WLC, a network administrator can configure SSIDs, security, IP addressing, and other wireless network parameters in a centralized management environment.
33. For which discovery mode will an AP generate the most traffic on a WLAN?
- active mode
- mixed mode
- passive mode
- open mode
The two discovery modes are passive and active. When operating in passive mode, an AP will generate more traffic as it continually broadcasts beacon frames to potential clients. In active mode, the client initiates the discovery process instead of the AP. Mixed mode refers to network mode settings, and open mode refers to security parameter settings.
