    Can anybody help me for this question please, if anybody know the wright answer. I lent the answer is D on pass4sure and 9tut the correct answer is C. Help me please.

    Miscellaneous Questions on 9tut Questin 2

    In the communication between host 1 and host 2 over the point-to-point WAN, which protocol or technology is represented by dashed line A?

    A. IP
    B. T1
    C. ppp
    D. IEEE 802.3

    IP is the daddy of the layer 3 world
    T1 is not a protocol, but a leased line speed
    IEEE 802.3 is a protocol for CSMA/CD
    PPP, answer is in the name Point-to-point protocol

    Hope that helps

    Host 1 sends to Switch1 (ieee 802.3 here)
    Switch1 sends to Router1 (ieee 802.3)
    Router1 sends csu/dsu (t1 – 1.544 mbps leased line. connects to the isp)

    Router2 receives from csu/dus
    Switch2 receives from Router2
    Host2 receives from Switch2

    – ieee 802.3 to send the packet locally
    – the T1 line to connect Router1 and Route2 via the internet
    – IP was used to send the packet outside of its originating network to the correct destination by process or decapsulation and encapsulation

    Point-to-Point protocol is used at the point where the router needs to connect to the outside world.
    Now, if you were to have it locally, you had only need for the MAC address. If you were to send it to a different network (VLAN or some network easily reachable via a serial/ethernet connection) then you only needed the Internet Protocol.
    You use PPP to get from Host1 to Host2 because you MUST send it to a location far away from the network and the connection is made via T1.

    For IPv6, I was asked to select three correct addresses from a list of six possibilities. So you have to know what a properly formed IPv6 address looks like.

    For Q2 I thought it would be IP between the hosts and PPP between the routers. Please can someone explain? Thanks.

    June 23rd, 2011

    The answer for question number 8 is D not C as AS is one of the main features of EIGRP.

  12. 9tut
    June 24th, 2011

    @Khaled: BGP is not discussed much in CCNA but in general it is the protocol to connect different Autonomous Systems (AS). For example, you can connect 2 EIGRP domains with different AS numbers. So the correct answer for question 8 should be C.

  13. Rajib
    July 7th, 2011

    question 2 Ans will be IP as PPP will only use when you connect min 2 PC under virtual circuits.IEEE and T1 are standards not protocol or technology , only left IP. you can communicate with 2 systems only using IP address, not by mac address or any other means..if you are using basic LAN also.SO IP is correct answer.

    Took ICND2 and failed by 20 points – shouldn’t have spent 10 minutes trying to get 1 part of a sim working!! next time will just skip over it. ended up with 5 questions left to do in 1 minute and of course the last question was another sim. :(.

    anyways one question that I saw on the test that I haven’t seen mentioned here:
    “What does the “wi-fi alliance cerftified sticker mean on a device?”
    4 answers – read this page: http://www.wi-fi.org/certified_products.php

  19. Ciscowillnevercatchme!!
    July 22nd, 2011

    another thing that might help – skim through the 3 books for route/switch/tshoot CCNP before writing icnd2. Sure it may seem like overkill, but if you’re planning to take CCNP next, you’ll need to do that anyways. I’d say 5% of the questions deal with stuff I only read in CCNP docs.
    Example – read up on Split Horizon over Frame Relay – why would you want to disable split horizon on this type of link? from what I understand it is so routing updates can go back over the WAN to other subinterfaces.

    July 29th, 2011

    Anonymous – IP is a protocol, I don’t know why that would be the answer.

    A. IP – a networking protocol
    B. T1 – a network standard, not enough information in the question to select this option
    C. ppp
    D. IEEE 802.3 – a LAN standard, the question includes end-to-end communication over a WAN

    The best answer given the question is ppp

  27. grimster
    August 17th, 2011

    The correct answer for Q2 is IP not PPP. Computers on Ethernet do NOT communicate with each other with PPP regardless if the packets get send over a WAN link. Its is the ROUTERS which communicate with PPP. PPP is simply incorrect. Anyone who disagrees does not know networking.

    Please change this.

  28. grimster
    August 17th, 2011

    Again Q2 is asking “which protocol or technology is represented by dashed line A?” NOT which protocol is used over the wan link.

    Dashed line A = IP
    Dashed Line C = PPP

    The answer is IP. Nothing complicated about this, some people here really need to stop giving advice.

    I’m go to test on Mid of Dec.
    I’m confused by Q2. as I know, IP is internet protocol. I think it represent the dashed line C.
    so, I’ll choose IEEE802.3 instead IP.
    could someone correct and explain to me if I made mistake.
    thank you all in advance.

  36. Raynm3n
    December 14th, 2011

    @Hasek

    The answer is so easy that it is not even funny to bother with it (and was said previously)
    IEEE 802.3, PPP are means to carry IP packets (and if you have selected the T1, with all respect but someone should rather pass a mental health check than ICND exams).
    For example when you have input the 9tut.net in your browser address – the first thing was for the system to querry the DNS for an IP to communicate with the remote host – web server.
    And for the PPP crazy pack – guys, wake up, read again the definition of HOST and also underline that PPP is used for router-to-router communications and host-to-network
    If you were thinking of MAC addresses – think again – host 1 destination MAC is not host 2 but R1

    Hope this helped

    @nowa
    this questions has been discussed over and over.
    the correct answer is A, IP.

    why? because computers talk via IP, not via T1 (link standard), not via ppp (authentication protocol), not via IEEE 802.3 (ethernet protocol)

    Hi guys. I desperately need your help. I have to do the following and I have absolutely no idea how to do it.. Please help me out. my e-mail is antonisbigman@yahoo.gr
    Outline:
    ABC is currently re-locating to a new office in the city centre of London. The IT Manager has convinced the management of the company for enough budget for a new state-of-the-art IT implementation/solution.
    The new premises consist of a building with 4 floors that all 80 employees of the company will be based there. Each floor has its own ITF room and the main computer room is located in the first floor. All servers and core devices will be placed there.
    Your first task is to propose the design of the network infrastructure, take into consideration that the company is willing advanced technologies to be implemented. Your proposal should cover all the necessary architectures that should be followed for a modern, expandable, easy to manage network infrastructure, including cutting-edge technologies, helpful for any organization in our days. Then your design should include the addressing scheme of the company, taking into consideration the different types of traffic that you have proposed. Finally all technologies and devices should be implemented on a virtual tool.
    Your work will be presented to the senior management of the company.
    Tasks:
    A. Design the logical diagram of the company’s network infrastructure (visio).
    B. Propose all necessary Subnets and Protocols to use (table)
    C. Implement the configuration of all the protocols and the technologies that you have identified (VLANs, Interfaces, etc) on a simulator (packet tracer).
    D. Analyze the network infrastructure and the benefits of your proposal.

    Can someone help me with this question that is on the most recent exam dump.

    The network administrator has been asked to give reasons for moving from IPv4 to IPv6. What are two valid reasons for adopting IPv7 over IPv4 (Choose two).

    A. No broadcast
    B. Change of source address in the IPv6 header
    C. Change of destination address in the IPv6 header
    D. Telnet does not require a password.
    E. Autoconfiguration
    F. NAT

  51. KG
    May 6th, 2012

    The answer to your question Jbag is

    A and E

    There are multiple other reasons why you would adopt IPv6 over IPv4 but of the options supplied A and E are correct. IPv6 gets rid of broadcasts and replaces it with multicast. I know that AutoConfig is the correct answer, but at this time I am not familar with how it works.

    Similar Q6 out today

  53. JT
    May 24th, 2012

    for question 1, I think it could be argued that B is correct as well.

    “to allow communication with devices on a different network”

    If you’re trying to reach a device on another network, you’d arp for the gateway, then send the frame the gateway. On the way back, the gateway would need the source’s hardware address to be able to deliver the frame to it.

    You still have to use hardware addresses to reach devices that are not on your subnet. Yes?

  54. nehalem
    June 5th, 2012

    @JT, does the Ethernet protocol use physical addresses to allow communication with devices on a different network? No it doesn’t, and that’s exactly what the question asked. B is not correct. The fact that ethernet may or may not be used during communication between two hosts on separate networks is merely a side issue.

    September 19th, 2012

    For question 2: The dashed line represents the virtual link as seen by the hosts. So, they just use IP in this virtual link and they don’t even require to know what will be used physicaly. The hosts are like in a directed IP connection dream 😛

    Dumps are good tools to review for the exam, but be certain that the answers are correct. I came across this question, and don’t agree with the answer. Any one have any thoughts on this?

    A network administrator has configured access list 173 to prevent Telnet and ICMP traffic from reaching a server with the address of 192.168.13.26. Which commands can the administrator issue to verify that the access list is working properly? (Choose three)

    A. Router# ping 192.168.13.26
    B. Router# debug access-list 173
    C. Router# show open ports 192.168.13.26
    D. Router# show access-lists
    E. Router# show ip interface

    The answers that are stated correct are (A), (D), (E). By performing (D) and (E), you’re looking at the configuration. But by performing (A), you’re not really testing the access list because your pinging locally from the router. The access list will not deny outbound traffic that is generated locally. How does this assist you in ensuring the ACL is working properly?

    Please, can someone explain the answer to the question number 6 ?
    B. They require a unique subnet within a routing domain. —– Is right
    But the other answer is not sure.

    Question 6 – DHCJ explanation:

    Every point to point link requires a seperate subnet. ( creating sub interfaces in Hub and connecting that to the spoke router).. Multipoint uses one subnet to connect to al the router.

    @3C271

    Your ACL is preventing Telnet and ICMP traffic. A ping is ICMP traffic so answer A is correct. If the ACL is configured properly you would be unable to ping 192.168.13.26

    Fail. Took the supposed ICND2 640-816 today and there was nothing like the material contained on this site. No VTP, No VLSM, No Drags and Drop (except 1, had Split Horizon), no ACL or NAT. It was all about SNMP and Netflow. 2 Different SIMS OSPF and EIGRP (not on this site or dump) A lot IPV6. I nailed ICND1 exam but this wasnt the test I prepared for. Please reply.

    @TrickedbyCisco–did you take the new version of the exam? (200-101) If so, then yes all of the content would be different since it covers the 640-816 exam.
