Answer & Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
SMTP, HTTP and FTP use TCP.

2.

What layer in the TCP/IP stack is equivalent to the Transport

layer of the OSI model?
A. Application

B. Host-to-Host

C. Internet

D. Network Access

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The four layers of the TCP/IP stack (also called the DoD model) are Application/Process, Host-
to-Host, Internet, and Network Access. The Host-to-Host layer is equivalent to the Transport
layer of the OSI model.

3.

Which of the following describe the DHCP Discover

message?
1. It uses FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF as a layer 2 broadcast.
2. It uses UDP as the Transport layer protocol.
3. It uses TCP as the Transport layer protocol.
4. It does not use a layer 2 destination address.

A. 1 only

B. 1 and 2

C. 3 and 4
D. 4 only

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
A client that sends out a DHCP Discover message in order to receive an IP address sends out a
broadcast at both layer 2 and layer 3. The layer 2 broadcast is all Fs in hex,
or FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. The layer 3 broadcast is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, which means all
networks and all hosts. DHCP is connectionless, which means it uses User Datagram Protocol
(UDP) at the Transport layer, also called the Host-to-Host layer.

4.

You want to implement a mechanism that automates the IP

configuration, including IP address, subnet mask, default
gateway, and DNS information. Which protocol will you use
to accomplish this?

A. SMTP

B. SNMP

C. DHCP

D. ARP

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used to provide IP information to hosts on your
network. DHCP can provide a lot of information, but the most common is IP address, subnet
mask, default gateway, and DNS information.

5.

A. 12.0.0.1

B. 168.172.19.39

C. 172.15.14.36

D. 192.168.24.43

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Class A private address range is 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255. Class B private address range
is 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255, and Class C private address range is 192.168.0.0 through
192.168.255.255.

6.

Which of the following allows a router to respond to an ARP

request that is intended for a remote host?

A. Gateway DP

B. Reverse ARP (RARP)

C. Proxy ARP

D. Inverse ARP (IARP)

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Proxy ARP can help machines on a subnet reach remote subnets without configuring routing or a
default gateway.

7.

The DoD model (also called the TCP/IP stack) has four layers.
Which layer of the DoD model is equivalent to the Network
layer of the OSI model?

A. Application

B. Host-to-Host

C. Internet

D. Network Access

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The four layers of the DoD model are Application/Process, Host-to-Host, Internet, and Network
Access. The Internet layer is equivalent to the Network layer of the OSI model.

host addresses per network ID?
A. Class A

B. Class B

C. Class C

D. Class D

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
A Class C network address has only 8 bits for defining hosts: 2  - 2 = 254.

If you use either Telnet or FTP, which is the highest layer you
are using to transmit data?

A. Application

B. Presentation

C. Session

D. Transport

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Both FTP and Telnet use TCP at the Transport layer; however, they both are Application layer
protocols, so the Application layer is the best answer.

11.

Which of the following is the decimal and hexadecimal

equivalents of the binary number 10011101?

A. 155, 0x9B

B. 157, 0x9D

C. 159, 0x9F

D. 185, 0xB9

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
To turn a binary number into decimal, you just have to add the values of each bit that is a 1. The values of 10011101
are 128, 16, 8, 4, and 1. 128 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 157.

Hexadecimal is a base-16 number system. The values of hexadecimal are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F-

16 characters total, from which to create all the numbers you'll ever need. So, if 1001 in binary is 9, then the
hexadecimal equivalent is 9. Since we then have 1101, which is 13 in binary, the hexadecimal answer is D and the
complete hexadecimal answer is 0x9D.

Which statements are true regarding ICMP packets?

1. They acknowledge receipt of a TCP segment.
2. They guarantee datagram delivery.
3. They can provide hosts with information about network
problems.
4. They are encapsulated within IP datagrams.

A. 1 only

B. 2 and 3

C. 3 and 4

D. 2, 3 and 4

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used to send error messages through the network,
but they do not work alone. Every segment or ICMP payload must be encapsulated within an IP
datagram (or packet).

13.

Which of the following are layers in the TCP/IP model?

1. Application
2. Session
3. Transport
 4. Internet
5. Data Link
6. Physical

A. 1 and 2

B. 1, 3 and 4

C. 2, 3 and 5

D. 3, 4 and 5

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
This seems like a hard question at first because it doesn't make sense. The listed answers are
from the OSI model and the question asked about the TCP/IP protocol stack (DoD model).
However, let's just look for what is wrong. First, the Session layer is not in the TCP/IP model;
neither are the Data Link and Physical layers. This leaves us with the Transport layer (Host-to-
Host in the DoD model), Internet layer (Network layer in the OSI), and Application layer
(Application/Process in the DoD).

14.

Which layer 4 protocol is used for a Telnet connection?

A. IP

B. TCP
C. TCP/IP

D. UDP

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Although Telnet does use TCP and IP (TCP/IP), the question specifically asks about layer 4, and
IP works at layer 3. Telnet uses TCP at layer 4.

15.

Which statements are true regarding ICMP packets?

1. ICMP guarantees datagram delivery.
2. ICMP can provide hosts with information about network
problems.
3. ICMP is encapsulated within IP datagrams.
4. ICMP is encapsulated within UDP datagrams.

A. 1 only

B. 2 and 3

C. 1 and 4

D. All of the above

Answer & Solution   Discuss in Board  Save for Later

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
ICMP is used for diagnostics and destination unreachable messages. ICMP is encapsulated
within IP datagrams, and because it is used for diagnostics, it will provide hosts with information
about network problems.

16.

Which of the following are TCP/IP protocols used at the

Application layer of the OSI model?
1. IP
2. TCP
3. Telnet
4. FTP

IP is a Network layer protocol. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a Transport layer
protocol.
