Your backup server is experiencing poor network performance issues, and your nightly backups are not completing. The server is connected via a 100MB Ethernet to the switch, and you suspect there is a duplex mismatch. What commands would you use to troubleshoot the issue? Select THREE.
A. show interfaces
B. show interface counters
C. show log
D. show log history
E. show interfaces status
Answers: A, C, E!
Explanation A. Correct. This command is the first place to look for performance issues. You will see the speed and duplex (negotiated), and also the error counts on the interface. Duplex errors will result in a high number of errors. If the duplex mismatch is causing the circuit to flap repeatedly, the interface may go into error-disable mode. The error disable status will show up on the "show interfaces" command.
Explanation B. Incorrect. This command will show packet counts for all the interfaces. Although this command is useful for analyzing interface traffic, it will not provide helpful information for troubleshooting duplex issues.
Explanation C. Correct. The "show log" command will display logging information when configured correctly. Duplex mismatches will be logged for the problem interface, as will interface flapping. If the duplex mismatch is causing the circuit to flap repeatedly, the interface may go into error-disable mode. This will show up in the logs.
Explanation D. Incorrect. The "show log history" command displays statistics about the log: messages logged, dropped, received, etc. The "show log" command would be far more useful when troubleshooting duplex mismatches.
Explanation E. Correct. This command will show all the interfaces, their status, VLAN, negotiated duplex, and speed and type.

Which of the following IEEE standards specifies the operation of the Spanning Tree Protocol? Select the best answer.
A. 802.1D
B. 802.1x
C. 802.1Q
D. 802.3
E. 802.11
Answer: A!
Explanation A. Correct. The 802.1d protocol specifies the Spanning Tree Protocol. This standard is based on original Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC - now part of HP) research and development work.
Explanation B. Incorrect. The 802.1x protocol is an IEEE standard for port-based access control. This protocol is unrelated to the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
Explanation C. Incorrect. The 802.1Q protocol is an IEEE standard for trunking between switches. This protocol is supported by most of the switch vendors, including Cisco. It can be used in heterogeneous environments; however, this is a trunking protocol.
Explanation D. Incorrect. The IEEE 802.3 protocol specifies modern Ethernet networks. This protocol is based on a proposal, developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Intel and Xerox.
Explanation E. Incorrect. The 802.11 protocol is an IEEE standard for wireless LANs. This protocol is used to specify the communications between an end node and an access point, or the direct communication between two end nodes or two access points.
Sample question from our PrepLogic Practice Test for the CCNA 640-802 Exam
8/17/11 7:51:00 PM
Which of the following technologies are used by the RIP protocol for stability and routing loop avoidance? Select the two best answers.
A. Neighbor state tables
B. Feasible distance calculations
C. Split horizon
D. Hold down timers
Answers: C and D!
Explanation A. Incorrect. As with any other distance vector protocol, RIP does not build neighbor adjacencies, and does not maintain neighbor state.
Explanation B. Incorrect. The EIGRP protocol uses feasible distances as part of the DUAL algorithm that it executes. RIP does not work with feasible distances.
Explanation C. Correct. A common technology for prevention/avoidance of routing loops is split horizon. This technology requires that no route is advertised to the same neighbor (actually - out the same interface) from which the route was learned.
Explanation D. Correct. The hold down timer is another technology used to help avoid routing loops and increase stability. Hold down timers ensure that routing information is propagated in a consistent manner in times of topology changes.

Use the question below to gauge your readiness for the 640-802 exam. This is an example question from PrepLogic’s practice test for that exam.
What is the significance of the "implied deny all" statement in access lists? Select the best answer.
A. Router interfaces block any traffic by default.
B. Access lists can only contain deny statements.
C. The first statement within an access list must be a deny statement.
D. The last statement of any access list is a deny any statement, even if not specified in the access list.
E. An access list is only valid if the last statement in it is a deny all statement.
Answers: D
Explanation A. Incorrect. Router interfaces permit all traffic by default. If an access list is applied to a router interface, and the access list is empty, all traffic is still permitted. Only when an access list denies traffic (including the implicit deny at the end) would traffic get blocked.
Explanation B. Incorrect. Access lists can have a combination of permit statements and deny statements. The first statement that matches the packet is applied, regardless of Implement, verify, & troubleshoot NAT and ACLs in a medium-size Enterprise branch office network 276 whether it is a permit or a deny statement.
Explanation C. Incorrect. There is no such requirement. An access list can start with either a permit statement or a deny statement.
Explanation D. Correct. Every access list ends with an implicit deny all statement. Thus, if access list evaluation reaches the bottom of an access list, and no permit statement is found for the packet, the traffic is denied.
Explanation E. Incorrect. It is not required to have an explicit deny all statement in an access list, as deny all is implied once the bottom of the access list is reached.

7/23/11 1:19:00 PM
Use the short question below to gauge your readiness for the exam. Be careful…there are 3 correct answers!
Which of the following LMI types can you implement on a Cisco router? Select the three best answers.
A. ANSI
B. Cisco
C. Juniper
D. Q.933a
E. IETF
Explanation A. Correct. The American National Standards Institute defines the ANSI LMI type as standard T1.617, Annex D. You can use it to communicate with some non-Cisco devices.
Explanation B. Correct. Cisco has its own proprietary LMI type, which is called Cisco LMI. This LMI type is used by default on Cisco routers and switches configured for Frame Relay.
Explanation C. Incorrect. This Frame Relay LMI type does not exist. Juniper is a Cisco competitor.
Explanation D. Correct. This LMI type is defined in ITU-T Q.933 Annex A, and is an 196 industry standard, vendor neutral Frame Relay technology. You can use it to communicate with non-Cisco devices
Explanation E. Incorrect. This Frame Relay LMI type does not exist. Frame Relay IETF encapsulation is used for Frame Relay frames, not as an LMI type.

What functionality does a switch port in listening state have? Select the two best answers.
A. It is forwarding frames.
B. It is not forwarding frames.
C. It is trying to learn IP addresses of neighbor devices.
D. It is listening for BPDUs to find out whether it would create a loop.
E. It is listening to MAC addresses and collecting them in its transparent switching table.
The correct answer combination? B and D! Check out the detailed explanations below as to why:
Explanation A. Incorrect. Switch ports in listening state are not forwarding frames. A port in this mode is trying to determine whether it would cause data-link loops if it starts forwarding frames.
Explanation B. Correct. A switch in listening state is not forwarding frames. A port in this mode is trying to determine whether it would cause data-link loops if it starts forwarding frames.
Explanation C. Incorrect. Switches only care about MAC addresses. A switch in listening state will be listening for BPDUs, and will try to find out whether it is part of a loop.
Explanation D. Correct. A switch in listening state will be listening to BPDUs, and will try to find out whether it is part of a loop, or whether it would cause a routing loop.
Explanation E. Incorrect. A port in learning state or in forwarding state would collect MAC addresses. A port in listening state does not collect MAC address information.

Try the practice question below from our PrepLogic practice exam to see if you are ready for the test. Keep in mind, most of our practice questions are actually slightly harder than the actual exam, so don’t sweat it if you get it wrong!
Users are complaining that your company's website has been extremely slow all day, and in several cases, connections are timing out. You have checked all the servers, and they seem fine, but the load on your router's external interface is abnormally high. You suspect a denial of service attack using spoofed ICMP traffic that is bringing a barrage of echo replies to your network. What single entry in your ACL would provide the most information to trace the attack when applied inbound to the outside interface? Select the best answer.
A. access-list 167 permit icmp any any echo-reply
B. access-list 167 permit icmp any any echo-reply log-input
C. access-list 67 permit any log
D. access-list 67 permit icmp any any echo-reply
The correct answer is answer C, “access-list 67 permit any log.” Use the detailed explanations below to find out why:
Explanation A. Incorrect. This entry is correct to identify the traffic, but would not log any of the traffic information. Without turning on the logging functionality, there is no way to identify the source of the DOS attack.
Explanation B. Correct. This IP extended access list identifies the correct traffic, and will log information into the buffer for examination.
Explanation C. Incorrect. This IP standard access list will not achieve the desired result.
Explanation D. Incorrect. You cannot specify protocol or packet type with an IP standard access list.

Your Weekly 640-802 PrepLogic Test Question
2/14/11 4:16:00 PM
Each week here at PrepLogic we seek to post a new test question in order to help those who are seeking their CCNA to take a few practice rounds and see if they are ready. Use the question below to do just that:
You are implementing an IP access list. You want this access list to be applied to incoming traffic on a specific interface. Which command will you use? Select the best answer.
A. access-list 101 in
B. access-list 101 out
C. ip access-group 101 in
D. ip access-group 101 out
D. ip traffic-filter 101
The correct answer is C! Use these detailed explanations from PrepLogic in order to learn more about why C is the correct answer.
Explanation A. Incorrect. The access-list command is only used to create the access list. However, the access list can be used by various Cisco IOS technologies, one of which is the traffic filtering technology, which requires another command to be issued on an interface level.
Explanation B. Incorrect. The access-list command is only used to create the access list. However, the access list can be used by various Cisco IOS technologies, one of which is the traffic filtering technology, which requires another command to be issued on an interface level.
Explanation C. Correct. This is the correct command. It would apply access-list 101 to any IP traffic entering the interface, for which this command is executed.
Explanation D. Incorrect. This command is used to apply an outbound access-list, e.g. to apply traffic filtering to packets that leave the interface. You are required to perform this for incoming packets.
Explanation E. Incorrect. This command does not exist in Cisco IOS.

E. arp 192.168.2.1 0007.50ef.2c75 arpa
The correct answer is C! Find out why below, and learn something while you’re at it!
Explanation A. Incorrect. This command does not exist in Cisco IOS.
Explanation B. Incorrect. This command does not exist in Cisco IOS.
Explanation C. Correct. This single command allows you to configure both an IP address and a subnet mask on a particular router interface. In addition, you can use the secondary keyword to specify additional addresses for an interface.
Explanation D. Incorrect. This command specifies that all traffic for 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.255 will be routed to local interface loopback 0. This is not the same as specifying an IP address for an interface.
Explanation E. Incorrect. This command creates a static ARP entry. This is not the same as specifying an IP address for an interface.
640-802 Test Question: Try Your Hand with this PrepLogic Practice Exam Sample
1/09/11 2:29:00 PM
Try your hand with the below example question from our PrepLogic CCNA practice exam. Pay attention to the image to help you determine the correct answer. All PrepLogic practice exam questions are similar to the actual test questions, but not the exact questions.
A user is complaining that they cannot access anything beyond the local LAN network. They are unable to ping the gateway IP address of 192.168.37.1. What is the problem? Select the best answer.
A. The subnet mask of the host does not match the gateway.
B. The IP address of the host is not on the same subnet as the gateway.
C. The default gateway of the host incorrect
D. The gateway IP address should be configured on the switch, not the router.
The correct answer is B! Use the detailed posts below to figure out why:
Explanation A. Incorrect - The subnet mask is the exact thing same as the mask of the router gateway.
Explanation B. Correct. The IP address configured on the host is on a different subnet than the gateway. The IP address range of the 192.168.37.0/28 is 192.168.37.1 to 192.168.37.14
Explanation C. Incorrect - The default gateway is in fact properly configured for 192.168.37.1 -just like the router interface.
Explanation D. Incorrect - The switch is a layer 2 device which doesn’t need to be configured w/ a layer 3 IP address. The router is the correct device to have an IP address assigned to it for use by hosts as the gateway.

Test Question #8 – 640-802 – PrepLogic Practice Exam Previews
11/10/10 10:19:00 AM
Try out your knowledge with this short example question straight from our extensive 640-802 PrepLogic practice exam. All questions on the exam, as you can see below, are very similar to the actual test questions (and often more difficult), without being exact. See how you do with this one...
You are designing an internetwork. You need to select a WAN technology that can easily provide for partial or full-mesh connectivity through the WAN. Which technology will you choose? Select the best answer.
A. Analog dial-up
B. Leased line
C. ISDN
D. Frame Relay
E. ADSL
Do you know the right answer? Check out the explanations below and find the correct one! Learn as you go, just like with our regular practice exams!
Explanation A. Incorrect. Analog dial-up doesn’t provide for full mesh connectivity. Also, dial-up is usually an on-demand technology, while normally full mesh needs to always be up.
Explanation B. Incorrect. Leased lines aren’t used for full mesh connectivity; but they are used for point-to-point connectivity. Although it is possible to build a full mesh topology using leased lines between every set of two sites, this solution is normally not cost effective.
Explanation C. Incorrect. ISDN BRI is a demand dial technology. This technology doesn’t provide for easy and cost effective partial or full mesh infrastructures. ISDB PRI is used in point-to-point links (both voice and data), and isn’t suitable for full or partial mesh topologies.
Explanation D. Correct. Frame Relay is a topology that uses the terms PVC/SVC – both of them virtual circuits, and not physical as with many other technologies. Thus, Frame Relay provides a design with the ability to use a few virtual channels over 1 physical link, which makes it an ideal WAN solution for a mesh network.
Explanation E. Incorrect. ADSL, similar to analog lines, uses existing Telco lines to provide high-speed connectivity. However, ADSL isn’t a technology that provides for partial or full mesh connectivity.

Questions similar to the below are sure to show up on the test! Take a minute to answer the question in your mind to the best of your ability before you look at the correct answer, listed below:
You want to troubleshoot outgoing Demand Dial Routing. Which command will allow you to see the reason for dialing? Select the best answer.
A. show dialer reason
B. show dialer interface
C. show dialer sessions
D. show ip route
E. show int bri 0
The right answer is B, as notated below along with a full explanation for your assistance:
Explanation A. Incorrect. This command doesn’t exist in Cisco IOS.
Explanation B. Correct. This command does display extensive dialer information, such as number being dialed, the time the interface has been connected, the time remaining until the disconnect, dial reason, etc.
Explanation C. Incorrect. This command displays overall general info about DDRs; however, it doesn’t display the reason for the DDR interface being brought up.
Explanation D. Incorrect. This command displays the IP routing table. Although the IP routing table does play a significant role in Demand Dial Routing (DDR), in general it isn’t a conclusive resource used to determine the dial reason of a DDR interface.
Explanation E. Incorrect. This command displays interface specific info for an ISDN BRI interface. This information doesn’t reveal the reason for a dialer interface that is performing a call.

Which of the following protocols provides a means for addressing precise applications on hosts, without providing reliability, flow control, or error recovery? Select the one best answer.
A. TCP
B. UDP
C. ICMP
D. ARP
E. PPP
The correct answer is B. Full detailed explanation below:
Explanation A. Incorrect. The TCP protocol, which runs on top of IP, is the protocol that is most commonly used for reliable transmission of data. It also provides flow control and recovery assistance from errors.
Explanation B. Correct. The user datagram protocol is yet another best effort protocol. It doesn’t try to re-transmit lost or out-of-order frames, and leaves these responsibilities to higher-level apps.
Explanation C. Incorrect. The ICMP protocol is just a diagnostic protocol within the TCP/IP family. This protocol is normally used by some diagnostic utilities, such as ping and trace route utilities.
Explanation D. Incorrect. The ARP protocol is a very simple protocol used to resolve IP addresses into MAC addresses. This protocol doesn’t establish sessions.
Explanation E. Incorrect. The PPP protocol is a data-link protocol. Although, as with most of the data-link protocols, it’s just an encapsulation method and doesn’t prefer guaranteed delivery. Also, this protocol doesn’t provide a means for addressing the applications.

Which wireless network authentication type utilizes a RADIUS server to authenticate and provide WEP keys? Select the best answer.
A. Network-EAP
B. MAC address
C. Open
D. Shared key
The correct answer is A.
Here’s why:
Explanation A. Correct. This authentication type utilizes the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate against a RADIUS server to provide the highest level of security for a wireless network.
Explanation B. Incorrect. This authentication type matches the wireless card MAC address to a predefined list of MAC addresses. This list can be configured directly on the AP.
Explanation C. Incorrect. Open Authentication allows any device to communicate with an access point (AP), but communication will continue only if keys match.
Explanation D. Incorrect. Shared key authentication is an 802.11b standard, but Cisco recommends avoiding this method due to some inherent security flaws. It consists of several exchanges between client and AP to determine a shared key.

You are troubleshooting routing problems. Your routing table is huge, so you only want to see routes to a few specific networks, no matter which routing protocol they have been generated by. You do not want to see all the routes. Which command can you use? Select the single best answer.
A. Show ip route
B. Show ip route rip
C. Show ip route list
D. Show ip local policy
The correct answer is C.
Here’s why:
Explanation A. Incorrect. This frequently used command is utilized in order to display the routing table on a router. However, as your routing table is huge, you don't want to see all the routing protocol entries - you just want to see a few entries.
Explanation B. Incorrect. This command will display only this part of the IP routing table, which has been created by the RIP protocol. However, you are required to display only some routes, no matter which routing protocol they were generated by.
Explanation C. Correct. This correct command allows you to specify an access list, which describes the routes that you are interested in viewing. This command will display all the routes that match the access list, regardless of the routing protocol.
Explanation D. Incorrect. This command will display policy routing settings, configured for the particular router on which the command is currently being executed. This is not related to dynamic routing protocols.

Select TWO.
A. show vlan
B. show interfaces
C. show running-config
D. show ip protocols
The correct answers are A and C.
Here’s why:
Explanation A. Correct. The show VLAN command is often the first step in troubleshooting VLAN issues. This command will show all the configured VLANs, their status and their member ports.
Explanation B. Incorrect. The show interfaces command will show interface statistics and other interface configuration information, but it does not display VLAN membership or configuration information.
Explanation C. Correct. This command will show the current running configuration, and the interface section will list interface configuration, including VLAN membership information.
Explanation D. Incorrect. This command shows routing protocol configuration and statistics. There will be routing information for VLAN interfaces, but no membership information displayed. On a layer 2 access switch, there won’t be any routing information for the VLAN interfaces.

As a continuing commitment to our mission of helping IT professionals stand out in the IT industry with IT certifications, we will now be including helpful practice text question excerpts from our quality CCNA practice exams. In the beginning, many of the questions will come from the basic 640-802 exam, and we will provide the answers in order to help our readers learn about the CCNA exams. So, get your feet wet and test your knowledge. Are you ready for exam 640-802? Try your hand with the question below:
The correct answers are B and E.
Here’s why:
A: incorrect, because ABAP is the programming language used in SAP. This is not an authentication protocol.
B: CHAP, correct, because CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) is a widespread protocol that is thought to provide a protected authentication mechanism for PPP connections.
C: incorrect, because Kerberos is an authentication protocol, developed by MIT, which has a couple of successful implementations in products and OS’s. This protocol is not normally used for PPP verification.
D: incorrect, because the NTLM protocol is used for user authentication by MSFT OS’s. However, this protocol isn’t used for dial-up verification.
E: PAP, correct, because PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) is a PPP authentication protocol that allows for user authentication. Since this protocol transfers user-names and passwords in clear text, it is generally recommended that this protocol should be avoided when possible.
