Q:

How should a router that is being used in a Frame Relay  network be configured to keep split horizon issues from preventing routing updates

A) Configure a seperate subinterface for each PVC with a unique DLCI and subnet assigned to the subinterface B) Combine multiple Frame Relay circuits as a point-to-point line to support multicast and broadcast traffic
C) Configure many subinterfaces in the same subnet D) Configure a single subinterface to establish multiple PVC connections to multiple remote router interfaces.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Configure a seperate subinterface for each PVC with a unique DLCI and subnet assigned to the subinterface

Explanation:

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.

Q:

What is the subnetwork address for a host with the IP address 200.10.5.68/28?

A) 200.10.5.56 B) 200.10.5.32
C) 200.10.5.64 D) 200.10.5.0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 200.10.5.64

Explanation:

This is a pretty simple question. A/28 is 255.255.255.240, which means that our block size is 16 in the fourth octent. 0,16, 32, 48, 64, 80, etc. The host is in the 64 subnet.

Q:

A receiving host has failed to receive all of the segments that it should acknowledge. What can the host do to improve the reliability of this communication session?

A) Send a different source port number B) Restart the virtual circuit
C) Decrease the sequence number D) Decrease the window size
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Decrease the window size

Explanation:

A receiving host can control the transmitter by using flow control ( TCP uses windowing by default). By decreasing the window size, the receiving host can slow down the transmitting host so the receiving host does  not overflow its buffers.

Q:

You have the following binary number :10110111. What are the decimal and hexadecimal equivalents?

A) 69/0x2102 B) 183/B7
C) 173/A6 D) 83/0xC5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 183/B7

Explanation:

You must be able to take a binary number and convert it into both decimal and hexadecimal. To convert to decimal, just add up the 1s using their values. The values that are turned on with the binary number of 10110111 are 128+32+16+4+2+1=183. To get the hexadecimal equivalent, you need to break the eight binary digits into nibbles (4 bits), 1011 and 0111. By adding up these values, you get 11 and 7. In hexadecimal, 11 is B, so the answer is 0xB7.
