NetWare IPX addressing uses a network number and a node number. Which statement is not true? |
A. | the network address is administratively assigned and can be up to 16 hexadecimal digits long |
B. | the node address is always administratively assigned |
C. | the node address is usually the mac address |
D. | if the mac address is used as the node address, then ipx eliminates the use of arp |
Answer» B. the node address is always administratively assigned | |
Explanation: the network address can be up to 16 hexadecimal digits in length. the node number is 12 hexadecimal digits. the node address is usually the mac address. an example ipx address is 4a1d.0000.0c56.de33. the network part is 4a1d. the node part is 0000.0c56.de33. the network number is assigned by the system administrator of the novell network and the mac address/node address is not assigned by the administrator. |

As a system administrator, you want to debug IGRP but are worried that the “debug IP IGRP transaction” command will flood the console. What is the command that you should use? |
A. | debug ip igrp event |
B. | debug ip igrp-events |
C. | debug ip igrp summary |
D. | debug ip igrp events |

By default, Cisco routers forward GNS SAPs to remote networks. |
A. | false |
B. | true |
Answer» A. false | |
Explanation: 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 thegns sap. |

To prevent Service Advertisements (SAPs) from flooding a 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 |
Answer» A. each router builds its own sap table and forwards that every 60 seconds | |
Explanation: cisco routers build sap tables and forward the table every 60 seconds. all saps can’t befiltered even with 4.x since nds and time synchronization uses saps. |

In Novell’s use of RIP, there are two metrics used to make routing decisions. Select the correct metrics. |
A. | ticks & hops |
B. | hops & loops |
C. | loops & counts |
D. | counts & ticks |
Answer» A. ticks & hops | |
Explanation: 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. |

The term that is used to place packet in its route to its destination is called |
A. | delayed |
B. | urgent |
C. | forwarding |
D. | delivering |
Answer» C. forwarding | |
Explanation: forwarding is done by the nodes in the path from source to destination, that are not the intended destination for the packet in order to pass the packet to the next node in the path. the destination machine does not forward the packet to any other node. |

A second technique to reduce routing table and simplify searching process is called |
A. | network-specific method |
B. | network-specific motion |
C. | network-specific maintaining |
D. | network-specific membership |
Answer» A. network-specific method | |
Explanation: in the network specific forwarding method, there is only one record, the destination of the packet, in the routing table and not the other hosts of the network. the other two forwarding methods are the default method and the next-hop method. |

Next-Hop Method is used to reduce contents of a |
A. | revolving table |
B. | rotating table |
C. | routing table |
D. | re-allocate table |
Answer» C. routing table | |
Explanation: in the next-hop forwarding method, the routing table of each router in the path contains the address of only the next hop in the path of packet. this method is suitable for short distances only. |

In Unicast routing, if instability is between three nodes, stability cannot be |
A. | stable |
B. | reversed |
C. | guaranteed |
D. | forward |
Answer» C. guaranteed | |
Explanation: in unicast routing, there is only sender and one receiver. so, if there is instability between three nodes, in which one is sender, one is receiver and one is the router in the path, there is no other path available for the packet and the stability of the network is not guaranteed. |

RPF stands for |
A. | reverse path forwarding |
B. | reverse path failure |
C. | reverse packet forwarding |
D. | reverse protocol failure |
Answer» A. reverse path forwarding | |

A. | bellman-ford algorithm |
B. | routing information protocol |
C. | dijkstra’s algorithm |
D. | distance vector routing |
Answer» C. dijkstra’s algorithm | |
Explanation: shortest path in ospf is usually computed by dijkstra’s algorithm. it was proposed by edsger w. dijkstra in the year 1956. it is a greedy method algorithm and hence may not guarantee the shortest path every time, but is really fast. |

B. | more flexible link cost than can range from 1 to 65535 |
C. | use of designated router |
D. | distribution of traffic over multiple paths that have equal cost to the destination |
Answer» A. support for fixed-length subnetting by including the subnet mask in the routing message | |
Explanation: ospf provides support for variable-length sunbathing by including the subnet mask in the routing message. for fixed length subnets, there is no requirement for including the subnet mask in the routing message as there is just one subnet mask for all the subnets. |

A. | link state protocol |
B. | error-correction protocol |
C. | routing information protocol |
