DNS
SSH

11. Which two statements are true about using full-duplex Fast Ethernet? (Choose two.)

Performance is improved with bidirectional data flow.
Latency is reduced because the NIC processes frames faster.
Nodes operate in full-duplex with unidirectional data flow.
Performance is improved because the NIC is able to detect collisions.
Full-duplex Fast Ethernet offers 100 percent efficiency in both directions.

12. Which method would mitigate a MAC address flooding attack?

increasing the size of the CAM table
configuring port security
using ACLs to filter broadcast traffic on the switch
increasing the speed of switch ports

13. Which two basic functions are performed by network security tools? (Choose two.)

revealing the type of information an attacker is able to gather from monitoring network traffic
educating employees about social engineering attacks
simulating attacks against the production network to
determine any existing vulnerabilities
writing a security policy document for protecting networks
controlling physical access to user devices

14. Which action will bring an error-disabled switch port back to an operational state?

Remove and reconfigure port security on the interface.
Issue the switchport mode access command on the interface.
Clear the MAC address table on the switch.
Issue the shutdown and then no shutdown interface commands.

15. Refer to the exhibit. Which S1 switch port interface or interfaces should be configured with the ip dhcp snooping trust command if best practices are implemented?

CCNA 2 Chapter 2 Exam Answer 003 (v5.02, 2015)

only the G0/1 port
only unused ports
only the G0/1 and G0/24 ports
only the G0/2, G0/3, and G0/4 ports
only the G0/1, G0/2, G0/3, and G0/4 ports

16. Refer to the exhibit. Port Fa0/2 has already been configured appropriately. The IP phone and PC work properly. Which switch configuration would be most appropriate for port Fa0/2 if the network administrator has the following goals?

CCNA 2 Chapter 2 Exam Answer 004 (v5.02, 2015)

SWA(config-if)# switchport port-security
SWA(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address sticky
SWA(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address sticky
SWA(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 2
SWA(config-if)# switchport port-security
SWA(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 2
SWA(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address sticky
SWA(config-if)# switchport port-security
SWA(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 2
SWA(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address sticky
SWA(config-if)# switchport port-security violation restrict

17. Refer to the exhibit. What can be determined about port security from the information that is shown?

CCNA 2 Chapter 2 Exam Answer 005 (v5.02, 2015)

The port has been shut down.
The port has two attached devices.
The port violation mode is the default for any port that has port security enabled.
The port has the maximum number of MAC addresses that is supported by a Layer 2 switch port which is configured for port security.

Switch(config-if)# no shutdown

What is the effect of entering these commands?

All devices attached to this switch must be in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet to communicate.
The switch is able to forward frames to remote networks.
The address of the default gateway for this LAN is 192.168.1.2/24.
