CCNA Practice exam Questions
PART1 PART2 PART3 PART4 PART5

Please do not consider the answers to these questions as gospel. I’m not guaranteeing that everything is correct as a lot of these questions were collected from a variety of sources. I’ve added some of my own to fill in some gaps that I thought might be covered on the exam.

          I guess the best way to use this list is to note any of the questions that you do not understand and follow it up with research from a definitive source Example

             Cisco website www.cisco.com    Cisco Press publications etc

1 As system administrator, you type "debug ipx sap" and

receive the following lines as part of the IOS response:

ipx network 9e

interface ethernet 0.2

ipx encapsulation sap

ipx network 6c

 

8 By default, Cisco routers forward GNS SAPs to remote  networks.

 

A. False

B. True

 

Ans A

 

GNS is Novell's protocol to Get Nearest Server.

If there is a server on the local network, that server will

respond. If there isn't, the Cisco router has to be

configured to forward the GNS SAP.

network, Cisco routers do not forward them. How are

services advertised to other networks?

 

A. Each router builds its own SAP table and forwards that

every 60 seconds.

B. Each router assigns a service number and broadcasts

that.

C. SAPs aren't necessary with Cisco routers.

D. Cisco routers filter out all SAPs.

 

Ans: A

Cisco routers build SAP tables and forward the

table every 60 seconds. All SAPs can't be filtered even

with 4.x since NDS and time synchronization uses SAPs.

 

10 Novell's implementation of RIP updates routing tables every

____ seconds.

 

A. 60

B. 90

C. 10

D. 30

 

Ans A

routing decisions. Select the two metrics.

 

A. Ticks.

B. Hops

C. Loops

D. Counts

 

Ans:A &B

It first uses ticks (which is about 1/18 sec.);

if there is a tie, it uses hops; if hops are equal, then it

uses an administratively assigned tiebreaker.

IGRP updates from a neighbor.

 

23 What does the following series of commands accomplish?

 

router igrp 71

network 10.0.0.0

router igrp 109

network 172.68.7.0

 

A. It isolates networks 10.0.0.0 and 172.68.7.0.

B. It loads igrp for networks 109 and 71.

C. It disables RIP.

D. It disables all routing protocols.

 

Ans A

It isolates network 10.0.0.0 and 172.68.7.0 and

associates autonomous systems 109 and 71 with IGRP. IGRP

does not disable RIP, both can be used at the same time.

 

 

24 In the command "router igrp 109" what does 109 signify?

 

A. an autonomous system

B. any network number which the router is attached to

C. the allowable length of the routing table

D. the network socket number

 

Ans A

The Cisco IOS global configuration command

"router igrp xxx" is used to configure the Interior Gateway

Routing Protocol. In this case, the 109 is called the

process-id , which can also be used for an autonomous system

number.

 

25 IGRP supports a feature that allows traffic to be

distributed among up to 6 (4 default) paths to provide

greater overall throughput and reliability. What is this

called?

 

A. unequal-cost load balancing

B. equal-cost load balancing

C. proportionate load balancing

D. low cost load balancing

 

Ans A

An unequal-cost load balancing is used to

provide alternate paths for data distribution on an

internetwork. Cisco developed this method to use unused or

under utilized links to increase bandwidth and network

availability.

 

26 IGRP uses flash updates, poison reverse updates, holddown

times, and split horizon. How often does it broadcast its

routing table updates?

 

A. 90 seconds

B. 10 seconds

C. 30 seconds

D. 45 seconds

 

Ans A

 

27 The command "show IP protocol" displays which information?

table with information about all known networks and

subnetworks.

 

28 When using RIP, routing updates are broadcast every ____

seconds.

 

A. 30

B. 10

C. 60

D. 90

 

Ans: A

Novell's RIP updates routing tables every 60

seconds, Apple's RTMP is every 10 seconds, routers ARP every

and Banyan VINES signals every 90 seconds.

 

29 An autonomous system can only exist if all routers in that

system meet which criteria?

 

A. interconnected

B. run the same routing protocol

C. assigned same autonomous system number

D. run IGRP only

E. run RIP only

 

Ans A,B &C

An autonomous system is a set of routers and

networks under the same administration. Each router must be

interconnected, run the same routing protocol, and assigned

the same autonomous system number. The network Information

Center (NIC) assigns a unique autonomous system number to

enterprises.

 

30 A default route is analogous to a _________.

 

A. default gateway

B. static route

C. dynamic route

D. one-way route

 

Ans: A

A default route is analogous to a default

gateway. It is used to reduce the length of routing tables

and to provide complete routing capabilities when a router

might not know the routes to all other networks.

 

31 Routers can learn about destinations through static routes,

default, or dynamic routing. By default, a router will use

information derived from __________.

 

A. IGRP

B. RIP

C. IP

D. TCP

 

Ans A

The quality of information is rated:

Connected interface 0

Static route 1

IGRP 100

RIP 120

Unknown 255

The lower the value, the more reliable the source with 255

signifying information that the router will ignore. So, the

router will use IGRP, rated at 100, before RIP, rated at

120.

 

32 You are logged into a router, what command would

show you the IP addresses of routers connected to you?

 

A. show cdp neighbors detail

B. show run

C. show neighbors

D. show cdp

 

Ans A

 

33 As a system administrator, you perform an extended ping at

the privileged EXEC prompt. As part of the display, you see

"Set DF bit in IP header? [yes] :" What would happen if you

answered no at the prompt.

 

A. This lets the router fragment the packet.

B. It tells the router not to fragment the packet.

C. This lets the router direct the packet to the destination

it finds in its routing table.

D. It tell the router to send the packet to the next hop

router.

 

Ans A

"Set DF bit in IP header?" is a response to an

extended ping at the router. If you answer yes (the default)

the router will not fragment the packet. If you answer no,

the router will fragment the packet.

 

 

34 You have typed "ping" 172.16.101.1 and get the following

display:

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 172.16.101.1,

timeout is 2 seconds:

.!!!!

What does the "." signify?

A. That one message timed out.

B. That all messages were successful.

C. That one message was successful.

D. That one message completed in under the allotted

timeframe.

 

Ans A

The possible responses from the ping command are:

 

! Successful receipt of an echo reply.

. Timed out waiting for a reply

U Destination unreachable

C Congestion-experienced packet

I Ping interrupted

? Packet type unknown

& Packet TTL exceeded

 

35 Which command, that is used to test address configuration,

uses Time-To-Live (TTL) values to generate messages from

each router.

 

A. trace

B. ping

C. telnet

D. bootp

 

Ans: A

The Cisco IOS EXEC command "trace [protocol]

[destination]" is used to discover routes that packets will

travel to their destination hosts. Trace uses TTL (Time to

Live) values to report destination route information.

 

36 What does the command "IP name-server 255.255.255.255"

accomplish?

 

A. It sets the domain name lookup to be a local broadcast.

B. This is an illegal command.

C. It disables domain name lookup.

D. The command is now defunct and has been replaced by "IP

server-name ip any"

 

Ans A

By default DNS is enabled on a router with a

server address of 255.255.255.255, which provides for a

local broadcast.

 

37 As a system administrator, you need to provide your routers

with a Domain Name System (DNS) server. How many DNS

servers can you specify with one command?

 

A. 6

B. 1

C. 2

D. 4

 

Ans A

You can only specify six name servers in one

command. The syntax is "IP name-server server-address1 [[

server-address2 ]...server-address6]. You must also enable

DNS.

 

38 How would you configure one host name that points to two IP

addresses?

 

A. IP host jacob 1.0.0.5 2.0.0.8

B. IP jacob 1.0.0.5 2.0.0.8

C. IP host jacob 1.0.0.5

D. IP host duplicate "all"

 

Ans A

The correct syntax is IP host name [

TCP-port-number ] address [ address ]..... So, "IP host

P1R1 1.0.0.5 2.0.0.8" is the correct choice. "IP host jacob

1.0.0.5" only points the host name jacob to one IP

address--1.0.0.5.

 

39 The following selections show the command prompt and the

configuration of the IP network mask. Which two are

correct?

 

A. Router#term IP netmask-format { bitcount | decimal | hexadecimal }

B. Router(config-if)#IP netmask-format { bitcount | decimal | hexadecimal }

C. Router(config-if)#netmask-format { bitcount | decimal | hexadecimal }

D. Router#ip netmask-format { bitcount | decimal | hexadecimal }

 

Ans A & B

Router#term IP netmask-format { bitcount |

decimal | hexadecimal } and Router(config-if)#IP

netmask-format { bitcount | decimal | hexadecimal } are

correct. You can configure the mask for the current session

and you can configure it for a specific line.

 

 

40 When configuring the subnet mask for an IP address, which

formats can be used?

 

A. dotted-decimal.

B. Hexadecimal

C. Bit-count

D. Octal

D. 255.255.242.0, A, 15.16.192.0, 15.16.199.255

 

Ans A

 

44 You have an IP host address of 201.222.5.121 and a subnet

mask of 255.255.255.248. What is the broadcast address?

 

A. 201.222.5.127

B. 201.222.5.120

C. 201.222.5.121

D. 201.222.5.122

 

Ans A

The easiest way to calculate this is to subtract

255.255.255.248 (subnet mask) from 255.255.255.255, this

equals 7. Convert the address 201.222.5.121 to

binary--11001001 11011110 00000101 01111001. Convert the

mask 255.255.255.248 to binary--11111111 11111111 11111111

11111000. AND them together to get: 11001001 11011110

00000101 01111000 or 201.222.5.120. 201.222.5.120 is the

subnet address, add 7 to this address for 201.222.5.127 or

the broadcast address. 201.222.5.121 through 201.222.5.126

are the valid host addresses.

 

45 Given the address 172.16.2.120 and the subnet mask of

255.255.255.0. How many hosts are available?

 

A. 254

B. 510

C. 126

D. 16,372

 

Ans A

172.16.2 120 is a standard Class B address with

a subnet mask that allows 254 hosts.

You are a network administrator and have been assigned the

IP address of 201.222.5.0. You need to have 20 subnets with

5 hosts per subnet. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.248.

 

46 Which addresses are valid host addresses?

 

A. 201.222.5.17

B. 201.222.5.18

C. 201.222.5.16

D. 201.222.5.19

E. 201.222.5.31

 

Ans A,B & D

Subnet addresses in this situation are all in

multiples of 8. In this example, 201.222.5.16 is the

subnet, 201.22.5.31 is the broadcast address. The rest are

valid host IDs on subnet 201.222.5.16.

 

47 You are a network administrator and have been assigned the

IP address of 201.222.5.0. You need to have 20 subnets with

5 hosts per subnet. What subnet mask will you use?

 

A. 255.255.255.248

B. 255.255.255.128

C. 255.255.255.192

D. 255.255.255.240

 

Ans A

By borrowing 5 bits from the last octet, you can.

have 30 subnets. If you borrowed only 4 bits you could only

have 14 subnets. The formula is (2 to the power of n)-2.

By borrowing 4 bits, you have (2x2x2x2)-2=14. By borrowing

5 bits, you have (2x2x2x2x2)-2=30. To get 20 subnets, you

would need to borrow 5 bits so the subnet mask would be

255.255.255.248.

 

48 You are given the IP address of 172.16.2.160 with a subnet

mask of 255.255.0.0. What is the network address in binary?

 

A. 10101100 00010000

B. 00000010 10100000

C. 10101100 00000000

D. 11100000 11110000

 

Ans: A

To find the network address, convert the IP

address to binary--10101100 000100000 00000010

10100000--then ANDed it with the subnet mask--11111111

11111111 00000000 00000000. The rest is 10101100 00010000

65 What are the two types of access lists that can be configured on a Cisco router?

 

A. Standard

B. Extended

C. Filtering

D. Packet

 

Ans: A & B

 

The access lists are standard and extended.  Standard access lists for IP check the source address of packets that could be routed.  Extended access lists can check the source and destination packet plus check for specific protocols, port numbers, etc.

 

66 When using access lists, what does a Cisco router check first?

 

A. To see if the packet is routable or bridgeable

B. The destination address

C. The source address

D. The packet contents

 

Ans A

 

The first thing checked is to see if the packet is routable or bridgeable.  If it is not, the packet will be dropped.

 

67 How many access lists are allowed per interface?

 

A. One per port, per protocol

B. Two per port, per protocol

C. Unlimited

D. Router interface +1 per port.

 

Ans: A

 

Only one access list is allowed per interface.  An access list must have conditions that test true for all packets that use the access list.

 

68 What do the following commands accomplish?

 

            access-list 1 deny 172.16.4.0  0.0.0.255

            access-list 1 permit any

            interface ethernet 0

            IP access-group 1 out

 

 

 

A. This will block traffic from subnet 172.16.4.0 and allow all other traffic.

B. This will allow traffic from subnet 172.16.4.0 and block all other traffic.

C. All traffic is allowed.

D. All traffic is blocked.

 

Ans: A

 

This will block traffic from subnet 172.16.4.0 and allow all other traffic. The first statement "access-list 1 deny 172.16.4.0  0.0.0.255" will deny access to the subnet 172.16.4.0.

 

69 What do the following statements in an extended access list accomplish?

 

access-list 101 deny TCP 172.16.4.0  0.0.0.255  172.16.3.0  0.0.0.255 eq 21

access-list 101 deny TCP 172.16.4.0  0.0.0.255  172.16.3.0  0.0.0.255 eq 20

access-list 101 permit TCP 172.16.4.0  0.0.0.255  0.0.0.0  255.255.255.255

 

A. This will block ftp traffic.

70 Access lists are numbered.  Which of the following ranges could be used for an IP access list?

 

A. 600  - 699

B. 100 - 199

C. 1 - 99

D. 800 - 899 

E. 1000 - 1099 

 

Answer: B & C

 

AppleTalk access lists use numbers in the 600 - 699 range.  IP uses 1 - 99 for standard access lists or 100-199 for extended access lists.  IPX uses 800 - 899 or 900 - 999 for extended access lists.  IPX SAP filters use 1000 - 1099.

 

71 Cisco routers use wildcard masking to identify how to check or ignore corresponding IP address bits.  What does setting a wildcard mask bit to 0 cause the router to do?

 

A. It tells the router to check the corresponding bit value.

B. It tells the router to ignore the corresponding bit value.

C. It tells the router to check its alternate routing list.

D. It tells the router to use its primary routing list.

 

Ans A

 

It tells the router to check the corresponding bit value.

 

72 You are a system administrator and you want to deny access to a group of computers with addresses 172.30.16.0 to 172.30.31.0.  Which wildcard mask would you use?

 

A. 0.0.15.255

B. 0.0.255.255

C. 0.0.31.255

D. 0.0.127.255

E. 0.0.255.255

 

Ans: A

 

0.0.15.255 will check the last 13 bits of an address so that computers 172.30.16.0 to 172.30.31.0 will be denied access.  0.0.31.255 would check the last 6 binary digits and deny access to addresses 172.30.32.0 to 172.30.63.0.  0.0.127.255 would check the last 7 binary digits and deny access to addresses 172.30.64.0 to 172.30.127.0.  0.0.255.255 would deny 172.30.0.0 to 172.30.254.0.  If you write decimal 15 in binary, you have 0001111, the 1's tell the router to ignore address with these bits set; 0's tell the router to check the bits.  The third octet for 172.30.16.0 is 00010000.  The third octet for 172.30.31.0 would be 00011111.  So, traffic from these addresses would be denied.

 

73 In order to limit the quantity of numbers that a system administrator has to enter, Cisco can use which abbreviation to indicate 0.0.0.0?

 

A. host

B. any

C. all

D. include

 

Ans: A

 

Cisco uses host to specify 0.0.0.0.  This tells the router to check all.  Cisco uses any to specify 255.255.255.255.  This tells the router to ignore all and permit any address to use an access list test.

 

74 What do the following commands accomplish?

 

            access-list 1 permit 172.16.0.0  0.0.255.255

            interface ethernet 0

            IP access-group 1 out

            interface ethernet 1

            IP access-group 1 out

 

A. Only traffic from the source network 172.16.0.0 will be blocked. 

B. Only traffic from the source network 172.16.0.0 will be forwarded.  Non-172.16.0.0 network traffic is blocked.

C. Non-172.16.0.0 traffic will be forwarded.

D. All traffic will be forwarded.

 

Ans: B

 

Only traffic from the source network 172.16.0.0 will be forwarded.  Non-172.16.0.0 network traffic is blocked.  The wildcard mask 0.0.255.255 tells the router to check the first 2 octets and to ignore the last 2 octets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

75 When using access lists, it is important where those access lists are placed.  Which statement best describes access list placement?

 

A. Put standard access lists as near the destination as possible.  Put extended access lists as close to the source as possible.

B. Put extended access lists as near the destination as possible.  Put standard access lists as close to the source as possible. 

C. It isn't import where access lists are placed since the router will read and cache the whole list.

D. Put access lists as close to corporate headquarters as possible.

 

Ans A

 

Put standard access lists as near the destination as possible.  Put extended access lists as close to the source as possible.  Standard access lists don't specify the destination address.

A. IPX/SPX

B. TCP/IP

C. LocalTalk

D. DDR

 

Ans: A

 

Because the access list is numbered in the 800 range, you are filtering IPX/SPX traffic.

 

80 Which service uses telephone control messages and signals between the transfer points along the way to the called destination?

 

A. Signaling System 7 (SS7)

B. Time-division Multiplexing (TDM)

C. X.25

D. Frame relay

 

Ans: A

 

Signaling System 7 (SS7) uses telephone control messages and signals between the transfer points along the way to the called destination.  Time-division Multiplexing (TDM) has information from multiple sources and allocates bandwidth on a single media.  Circuit switching uses signaling to determine the call route, which is a dedicated path between the sender and the receiver.  Basic telephone service and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) use TDM circuits.  X.25 and Frame Relay services have information contained in packets or frames to share non-dedicated bandwidth.  X.25 avoids delays for call setup. Frame Relay uses permanent virtual circuits (PVCs).
