What role do network devices play in the IntServ QoS model?

Network devices ensure that resources are available before traffic is allowed to
be sent by a host through the network.
Network devices provide a best-effort approach to forwarding traffic.

as it may arrive.

What is the benefit of deploying Layer 3 QoS marking across an

enterprise network?

Layer 3 marking can carry the QoS information end-to-end.

Layer 3 marking can be used to carry non-IP traffic.

What is the function of a QoS trust boundary?

A trust boundary identifies the location where traffic cannot be remarked.

A trust boundary only allows traffic to enter if it has previously been marked.
A trust boundary identifies which devices trust the marking on packets that enter
a network.
A trust boundary only allows traffic from trusted endpoints to enter the network.

Why are routers R1 and R2 not able to establish an OSPF

adjacency?

The process numbers are not the same in both routers.
A backbone router cannot establish an adjacency with an ABR router.
The router ID values are not the same in both routers.

When is the most appropriate time to measure network

operations to establish a network performance baseline

whenever high network use is detected, so that how the network performs under stress
can be monitored
during quiet vacation periods, so that the level of non-data traffic can be determined
at the same time each day across a set period of average working days, so that
typical traffic patterns can be established
at random times during a 10 week period, so that abnormal traffic levels can be
detected
Refer to the exhibit.

A network engineer configured an ACL preventing Telnet and

HTTP access to the HQ web server from guest users in the
Branch LAN. The address of the web server is 192.168.1.10 and
all guest users are assigned addresses in the 192.168.10.0/24
network. After implementing the ACL, no one can access any of
the HQ servers. What is the problem?

Inbound ACLs must be routed before they are processed.

The ACL is implicitly denying access to all the servers.
Named ACLs require the use of port numbers.
The ACL is applied to the interface using the wrong direction.
Refer to the exhibit.

A network administrator has configured OSPFv2 on the two

Cisco routers as shown. PC1 is unable to connect to PC2. What
should the administrator do first when troubleshooting the
OSPFv2 implementation?

Disconnect the serial link between router R1 and R2.

Turn off OSPFv2.
Implement the network 192.168.255.0 0.0.0.3 area 0 command on router R1.
Test Layer 3 connectivity between the directly connected routers.

Explanation: A prerequisite for OSPFv2 neighbor relationships to form between two

routers is Layer 3 connectivity. A successful ping confirms that a router interface is
active and may be able to form an OSPF neighbor adjacency.

What are two characteristics of the best-effort QoS model?

(Choose two.)

It allows end hosts to signal their QoS needs to the network.

It uses a connection-oriented approach with QoS.
It provides preferential treatment for voice packets.
It does not provide a delivery guarantee for packets.
It treats all network packets in the same way.

Why is QoS an important issue in a converged network that

combines voice, video, and data communications?

Data communications are sensitive to jitter.

Legacy equipment is unable to transmit voice and video without QoS.
Correct Response
Voice and video communications are more sensitive to latency.
Data communications must be given the first priority.

sequence:
R1(config)# boot system tftp://c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M3.bin

R1(config)# boot system rom

What is the effect of the command sequence?

On next reboot, the router will load the IOS image from ROM.
The router will search and load a valid IOS image in the sequence of flash, TFTP, and
ROM.
The router will copy the IOS image from the TFTP server and then reboot the system.
The router will load IOS from the TFTP server. If the image fails to load, it will load
the IOS image from ROM

An SNMP agent that resides on a managed device collects information about the device
and stores that information remotely in the MIB that is located on the NMS.
A set request is used by the NMS to change configuration variables in the agent

An NMS periodically polls the SNMP agents that are residing on managed devices by
using traps to query the devices for data.
A get request is used by the SNMP agent to query the device for data.

Refer to the exhibit.

What is the principle that is applied when a network technician

is troubleshooting a network fault by using the divide-and-
conquer method?

Testing is performed at Layer 7 and at Layer 1, then at Layers 6 and 2, and so on,
working towards the middle of the stack until all layers are verified as operational.

then be assumed that components in the layers below it are also functional.
Testing is performed at all layers of the OSI model until a non-functioning component is
found.
