What mechanism is used by a router to prevent a received IPv4 packet from traveling endlessly on a network?
It checks the value of the TTL field and if it is 100, it discards the packet and sends a Destination Unreachable message to the source host.

255.255.255.192
255.255.255.240
255.255.255.128

Transport layer error check field
Error correction process field
Flow control field
User Datagram Protocol field
Frame check sequence field
What is a function of the data link layer?
Provides delivery of data between two applications
Provides for the exchange of frames over a common local media
Provides end-to-end delivery of data between hosts
Provides the formatting of data
What are three characteristics of the CSMA/CD process? (Choose three.)
After detecting a collision, hosts can attempt to resume transmission after a random time delay has expired.
A jam signal indicates that the collision has cleared and the media is not busy.
All of the devices on a segment see data that passes on the network medium.
The device with the electronic token is the only one that can transmit after a collision.
Devices can be configured with a higher transmission priority.
A device listens and waits until the media is not busy before transmitting.

What are two features of ARP? (Choose two.)
If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it responds with an ARP reply.
When a host is encapsulating a packet into a frame, it refers to the MAC address table to determine the mapping of IP addresses to MAC addresses.
If no device responds to the ARP request, then the originating node will broadcast the data packet to all devices on the network segment.
An ARP request is sent to all devices on the Ethernet LAN and contains the IP address of the destination host and its multicast MAC address.
If a host is ready to send a packet to a local destination device and it has the IP address but not the MAC address of the destination, it generates an ARP broadcast.
Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is trying to configure the switch but receives the error message that is displayed in the exhibit. What is the problem?
The entire command, configure terminal , must be used.
The administrator must connect via the console port to access global configuration mode.
The administrator is already in global configuration mode.
The administrator must first enter privileged EXEC mode before issuing the command.
Refer to the exhibit. On the basis of the output, which two statements about network connectivity are correct? (Choose two.)
This host does not have a default gateway configured.
There are 4 hops between this device and the device at 192.168.100.1.
The average transmission time between the two hosts is 2 milliseconds.
There is connectivity between this device and the device at 192.168.100.1.
The connectivity between these two hosts allows for videoconferencing calls.
What are two characteristics of IP? (Choose two.)
Retransmits packets if errors occur
Guarantees delivery of packets
Does not require a dedicated end-to-end connection
Operates independently of the network media
Re-assembles out of order packets into the correct order at the receiver end
What will happen if the default gateway address is incorrectly configured on a host?
The host cannot communicate with hosts in other networks.
The host cannot communicate with other hosts in the local network.
A ping from the host to 127.0.0.1 would not be successful.
The switch will not forward packets initiated by the host.
The host will have to use ARP to determine the correct address of the default gateway.
