Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used to provide IP information to hosts on your network. DHCP can provide a lot of information, but the most common is Ip address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS information.

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.

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

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.

The four layers of the TCP/IP stack (also called the DoD model) are Application/process, Host-to-Host, Internet, and Network Access. The Host-to-Host layer is equivalent to the Transport layer of the OSI model.

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.

If you have a serial port configured with multiple DLCIs connected to multiple remote sites, split horizon rules stop route updates received on an interface from being sent out the same interface. By creating subinterfaces for each PVC, you can avoid the split horizon issues when using Frame Relay.

A VPN allows or describes the creation of private networks across the Internet, enabling privacy and tunneling of non-TCP/IP protocols. A VPN can be set up across any type of link.
