CCNA Basic Questions

Hi ! everyone on today we are going to talk about some basic CCNA questions which given below.

Question 1
For which type of connection should a straight-through cable be used?
A. switch to switch
B. switch to hub
C. switch to router
D. hub to hub
E. router to PC

Answer: C
Explanation
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
In this case we can use straight-through cable to connect a switch to a router -> C is correct.
Question 2
Which type of cable is used to connect the COM port of a host to the COM port of a router or switch?
A. crossover
B. straight-through
C. rolled
D. shielded twisted-pair

Answer: C

Question 3
What is the first 24 bits in a MAC address called?
A. NIC
B. BIA
C. OUI
D. VAI

Answer: C
Explanation
Organizational Unique Identifier (OUI) is the first 24 bits of a MAC address for a network device, which indicates the specific vendor for that device as assigned by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Incorporated (IEEE). This identifier uniquely identifies a vendor, manufacturer, or an organization.
Question 4
In an Ethernet network, under what two scenarios can devices transmit? (Choose two)
A. when they receive a special token
B. when there is a carrier
C. when they detect no other devices are sending
D. when the medium is idle
E. when the server grants access

Answer: C D
Explanation
Ethernet network is a shared environment so all devices have the right to access to the medium. If more than one device transmits simultaneously, the signals collide and can not reach the destination.
If a device detects another device is sending, it will wait for a specified amount of time before attempting to transmit.
When there is no traffic detected, a device will transmit its message. While this transmission is occurring, the device continues to listen for traffic or collisions on the LAN. After the message is sent, the device returns to its default listening mode.
So we can see C and D are the correct answers. But in fact “answer C – when they detect no other devices are sending” and “when the medium is idle” are nearly the same.
Question 5
Which two benefits are provided by using a hierarchical addressing network addressing scheme? (Choose two)
A. reduces routing table entries
B. auto-negotiation of media rates
C. efficient utilization of MAC addresses
D. dedicated communications between devices
E. ease of management and troubleshooting

Answer: A E

Question 6
When a host transmits data across a network to another host, which process does the data go through?
A. standardization
B. conversion
C. encapsulation
D. synchronization

Answer: C
Explanation
To transmit to another host, a host must go through the TCP/IP model (very similar to the OSI model). At each layer, the message is encapsulated with that layer’s header (and trailer if it has). This process is called encapsulation.
Question 7
Which two Ethernet fiber-optic modes support distances of greater than 550 meters?
A. 1000 BASE-CX
B. 100 BASE-FX
C. 1000 BASE-LX
D. 1000 BASE-SX
E. 1000 BASE-ZX

Answer: C E
Explanation
Below lists the cabling standards mentioned above
StandardCablingMaximum length
1000 BASE-CXTwinaxial cabling25 meters
100 BASE-FXTwo strands, multimode400 m
1000 BASE-LXLong-wavelength laser, MM orSM fiber10 km (SM)3 km (MM)
1000 BASE-SXShort-wavelength laser, MM fiber220 m with 62.5-micron fiber; 550 mwith 50-micron fiber
1000 BASE-ZXExtended wavelength, SM fiber100 km
Note:
+ MM: Multimode
+ SM: Single-mode

Question 8
Refer to the exhibit. What type of connection would be supported by the cable diagram shown?
PinColorFunctionPinColorFunction
1White/GreenTX+1White/GreenTX+
2GreenTX-2GreenTX-
3White/OrangeRX+3White/OrangeRX+
6OrangeRX-6OrangeRX-
A. PC to router
B. PC to switch
C. server to router
D. router to router

Answer: B
Explanation
From the “Pin” and “Colour” in the exhibit we know that this is a straight-through cable so it can be used to connect PC to switch.
Question 9
Refer to the exhibit. What type of connection would be supported by the cable diagram shown?
