Question 1:

A dental firm is redesigning the network that connects its three locations. The administrator gave the networking team 192.168.164.0 to use for addressing the entire netwok. After subnetting
the address, the team is ready to assign the addresses. The administrator plans to configure ip subnet-zero and use RIP v2 as the routing protocol. As a member of the networking team, you
must address the network and at the same time conserver unused addresses for future growth. With those goals in mind, drag the host addresses on the left to the correct router interface.
Once of the routers is partially configured. Move your mouse over a router to view its configuration. Not all of the host addresses on the left are necessary.

Answer:

Explanation:

In short, we should start calculating from the biggest network (with 16 hosts) to the smallest one using the formula 2 n - 2 (n is the number of bits we need to borrow).Therefore:

16 hosts < 25 - 2 (we need to borrow 5 bits -> /27)

11 hosts < 24 - 2 (borrow 4 bits -> /28)
5 hosts < 23 - 2 (borrow 3 bits -> /29)
From the available ip addresses, we see that each of them has only one suitable solution (they are 192.168.164.149/27,192.168.164.166/28 and 192.168.164.178/29)
The smallest network is the Floss S0/0 which only requires 2 hosts = 22 - 2 (need to borrow 2 bits ->/30). There are 2 suitable answers: 192.168.164.189/30 and 192.168.164.188/30 but notice
that 192.168.164.188/30 is the network address so we can not use it (because 188 = 4 * 47) -> we have to choose 192.168.164.189 as the correct solution.

In fact, it is not the formal way to solve a VLSM question so I recommend you to review your CCNA book if you haven't grasped it well yet.

Question 2:

In order to complete a basic switch configuration, drag each switch IOS command on the left to its purpose on the right

Answer:

1) enable
2) configure terminal
3) hostname
4) Interface vlan 1
5) no shutdown
6) ip address
7) ip default-gateway

Question 3:

The Missouri branch office router is connected through its s0 interface to the Alabama Headquarters router s1 interface. The Alabama router has two LANs. Missouri users obtain Internet
access through the Headquarters router. The network interfaces in the topology are addressed as follows: Missouri: e0 - 192.168.35.17/28; s0 - 192.168.35.33/28; Alabama: e0 192.168.35.49/28; e1 - 192.168.35.65/28; s1 - 192.168.35.34/28. The accounting server has the address of 192.168.35.66/28. Match the access list conditions on the left with the goals on the
right. (Not all options on the left are used.)

Answer:

1) deny ip 192.168.35.16 0.0.0.15 host 192.168.35.66

2) deny ip 192.168.35.55 0.0.0.0 host 192.168.35.66

3) permit ip 192.168.35.0 0.0.0.255 host 192.168.35.66

Explanation:

1) The wildcard mask of the command "deny ip 192.168.35.16 0.0.0.15 host 192.16.35.66" is 0.0.0.15, which is equal to network mask of 255.255.255.240 = /28. So the access list will deny all
traffic from network 192.168.35.16/28 from accessing host 192.16.35.66, which is the IP address of accounting server.

2) The command "deny ip 192.168.35.55 0.0.0.0 host 192.168.35.66" will deny host 192.168.35.55, which is a user and belongs to interface e0 of Alabama router (192.168.35.49/28) from
accessing accounting server.

3) Because there is an implicit "deny all" command at the end of each access list so the command "permit ip 192.168.35.0 0.0.0.255 host 192.168.35.66" will only let network 192.168.35.0/24
access accounting server whilst prevent traffic from other networks.

Question 4:

A host with the address of 192.168.125.34/27 needs to be denied access to all hosts outside its own subnet. To accomplish this, complete the command in brackets, [access-list 100 deny
protocol address mask any], by dragging the appropriate options on the left to their correct placeholders on the right.

Answer:

1) ip

2) 192.168.125.34

3) 0.0.0.0

Full command: access-list 100 deny ip 192.168.125.34 0.0.0.0

Question 5:

Drag and drop the network user application to the appropriate description of its primary use (not all options are used)

Answer:

1) web browser

2) instant message

3) e-mail

4) database

5) collaboration

Detail Explanation
(Updated from real CCNA exam on Jan-09-2010)

This topology contains 3 routers and 1 switch. Complete the topology.

Drag the appropriate device icons to the labeled Device

Drag the appropriate connections to the locations labeled Connections.
Drag the appropriate IP addresses to the locations labeled IP address

(Hint: use the given host addresses and Main router information)
To remove a device or connection, drag it away from the topology.

Use information gathered from the Main router to complete the configuration of any additional routers. No passwords are required to access the Main router. The config terminal
command has been disabled for the HQ router. The router does not require any configuration.
Configure each additional router with the following:

Configure the interfaces with the correct IP address and enable the interfaces.
Set the password to allow console access to consolepw
Set the password to allow telnet access to telnetpw
Set the password to allow privilege mode access to privpw

Note: Because routes are not being added to the configurations, you will not be able to ping through the internetwork.
All devices have cable autosensing capabilities disabled.
All hosts are PCs

Answer and explanation:

Specify appropriate devices and drag them on the "Device" boxes

For the device at the bottom-right box, we notice that it has 2 interfaces Fa0/2 and Fa0/4; moreover the link connects the PC on the right with the device on the bottom-right is a straight-through
link -> it is a switch

The question stated that this topology contains 3 routers and 1 switch -> two other devices are routers

Place them on appropriate locations as following:

(Host D and host E will be automatically added after placing two routers. Click on them to access neighboring routers)

Specify appropriate connections between these devices:

+ The router on the left is connected with the Main router through FastEthernet interfaces: use a crossover cable
+ The router on the right is connected with the Main router through Serial interfaces: use a serial cable
+ The router on the right and the Switch: use a straight-through cable
+ The router on the left and the computer: use a crossover cable

(To remember which type of cable you should use, follow these tips:

- To connect two serial interfaces of 2 routers we use serial cable

- To specify when we use crossover cable or straight-through cable, we should remember:
Group 1: Router, Host, Server
Group 2: Hub, Switch
One device in group 1 + One device in group 2: use straight-through cable
Two devices in the same group: use crossover cable

For example: we use straight-through cable to connect switch to router, switch to host, hub to host, hub to server... and we use crossover cable to connect switch to switch, switch to hub, router
to router, host to host... )

Assign appropriate IP addresses for interfaces:

From Main router, use show running-config command:

(Notice that you may see different IP addresses in the real CCNA exam, the ones shown above are just used for demonstration)

From the output we learned that the ip address of Fa0/0 interface of the Main router is 192.168.152.177/28. This address belongs to a subnetwork which has:

Increment: 16 (/28 = 255.255.255.240 or 1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 0000)

Network address: 192.168.152.176 (because 176 = 16 * 11 and 176 < 177)
Broadcast address: 192.168.152.191 (because 191 = 176 + 16 - 1)

And we can pick up an ip address from the list that belongs to this subnetwork: 192.168.152.190 and assign it to the Fa0/0 interface the router on the left

Use the same method for interface Serial0/0 with an ip address of 192.168.152.161

Increment: 16
Network address: 192.168.152.160 (because 160 = 16 * 10 and 160 < 161)
Broadcast address: 192.168.152.175 (because 176 = 160 + 16 - 1)

-> and we choose 192.168.152.174 for Serial0/0 interface of the router on the right

Interface Fa0/1 of the router on the left

IP (of the computer on the left) : 192.168.152.129/28

Increment: 16
Network address: 192.168.152.128 (because 128 = 16 * 8 and 128 < 129)
Broadcast address: 192.168.152.143 (because 143 = 128 + 16 - 1)

-> we choose 192.168.152.142 from the list

Interface Fa0/0 of the router on the right

IP (of the computer on the left) : 192.168.152.225/28

Increment: 16
Network address: 192.168.152.224 (because 224 = 16 * 14 and 224 < 225)
Broadcast address: 192.168.152.239 (because 239 = 224 + 16 - 1)

-> we choose 192.168.152.238 from the list

Let's have a look at the picture below to summarize

Configure two routers on the left and right with these commands:

Router1 = router on the left

Assign appropriate IP addresses to Fa0/0 & Fa0/1 interfaces:

Router1>enable
Router1#configure terminal
Router1(config)#interface fa0/0
Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.152.190 255.255.255.240
Router1(config-if)#no shutdown

Router1(config-if)#interface fa0/1
Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.152.142 255.255.255.240
Router1(config-if)#no shutdown

Set passwords (configure on two routers)

+ Console password:

Router1(config-if)#exit
Router1(config)#line console 0
Router1(config-line)#password consolepw
Router1(config-line)#login
Router1(config-line)#exit

+ Telnet password:

Router1(config)#line vty 0 4
Router1(config-line)#password telnetpw
Router1(config-line)#login
Router1(config-line)#exit

+ Privilege mode password:

Router1(config)#enable password privpw

Save the configuration:

Router1(config)#exit
Router1#copy running-config startup-config

Configure IP addresses of Router2 (router on the right)

Router2>enable
Router2#configure terminal
Router2(config)#interface fa0/0
Router2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.152.238 255.255.255.240
Router2(config-if)#no shutdown
Router2(config-if)#interface serial0/0
Router2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.152.174 255.255.255.240
Router2(config-if)#no shutdown

and set console, telnet and privilege mode passwords for Router2 as we did for Router1, remember to save the configuration when you finished
