When connecting two devices, which situation would normally require the use of a crossover cable?

connecting a host to a switch
connecting a switch to a router
connecting a switch to a switch
connecting a host to a router console port

A network administrator must use the subnet 172.16.128.0/18 to create 6 additional subnets each containing up to 2000 hosts for local LANs. Which subnet mask should the administrator use to create the new subnets?

255.255.224.0
255.255.240.0
255.255.248.0
255.255.252.0

A network administrator is in charge of two separate networks that share a single building. What device will be required to connect the two networks and add a common connection to the Internet that can be shared?

hub
router
access point
Ethernet switch

Refer to the exhibit. Which combination of IP address and subnet mask can be used on the serial interface of Router2 in order to put the interface in the same network as the serial interface of Router1?

IP 172.16.0.18, subnet mask 255.255.255.0
IP 172.16.32.15, subnet mask 255.255.255.240
IP 172.16.0.18, subnet mask 255.255.255.252
IP 172.16.32.18, subnet mask 255.255.255.252

Which statement correctly describes a feature of RIP?

RIP is a link-state routing protocol.
RIP uses only one metric—hop count— for path selection.
Advertised routes with hop counts greater than 10 are unreachable.
Messages are broadcast every 10 seconds.

Refer to the exhibit. How many routes are ultimate routes?

3
4
5
7

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator wants to reduce the size of the routing table of R1. Which partial routing table entry in R1 represents the route summary for R2, without including any additional subnets?
