Question 1

You want to verify the configuration register entry of a Cisco 2500 series router. What
command should you use on the router?

a. show config-reg

b. show version

c. show register

d. show running-config

e. show bootflash

f. show flash
Answer 1
Correct answer: b
Explanation:
The 'show version' command is one of the most used IOS commands. It displays the configuration
register setting including various useful hardware and software information of the router. A sample output
of this command is as follows:
Router#show version

Question 2
Users on a network subnet experience slow connectivity when trying to access file servers
located on another LAN segment. There are more than 200 users on the subnet. A Cisco
2500 router serves as the default gateway as well as the firewall for the subnet. You
suspect the problem could be caused by excessive CPU utilization on the router.
What command will verify that this is the case?

a. show cpu

b. show cpu utilization

c. show cpu processes

d. show hardware

e. show processes cpu


Answer 2
Correct answer: e
Explanation:
Use the 'show processes cpu' command to display CPU utilization on a Cisco router.

Router# show processes cpu

Question 3
Which four of the following must you know about configuring passwords on a Cisco router?

a. It is possible to configure all line access passwords during setup configuration mode.

b. All passwords can be encrypted.

c. Each line access port can be assigned a password.

d. Local database can be used for password authentication.

e. External Radius or TACACS servers can be used for password authentication.

f. Only privileged configuration mode can


Answer 3
Correct answers: b, c, d, e
The following are true when configuring passwords on a Cisco router.
All passwords on a Cisco router can be encrypted using the 'service password-encryption'
command.
Each line access port can be assigned a password.
Configure the local database authentication using the 'user user-name password user-
password' command.
Configure the external database authentication using the 'aaa new-model' command.

Question 4
Which three of the following information is gathered by the Cisco Discovery Protocol?

a. Hardware platform.

b. All addresses of each layer 3 protocol.

c. Only one address of each layer 3 protocol.

d. Routing table.
e. Routing protocol .

f. Device ID.
Answer 4
Correct answers: a, c, f
Explanation:
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a layer-2 proprietary protocol developed by Cisco to
communicate basic device configuration and information. CDP works by periodically
multicast a layer 2 traffic on connected interfaces. CDP discovers neighboring devices
regardless of which protocol suite they are running. The physical media must support the
Subnetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) encapsulation.
Summary information collected includes:
- Device identifiers
- Address list
- Port identifier
- Capabilities list
- Platform
However, only one address of each layer 3 protocol is shown in the CDP information.

Question 5
It was a Saturday morning. You had just been waked up by a pager call about a connectivity
problem between a branch router and the head office router. Both routers are connected via
a leased line. The link needs to be up 24-hour a day because it carries important financial
transactions.
You began your troubleshooting by trying to connect to the branch router using telnet but
failed. Fortunately, you managed to connect to a dial up modem attached to the branch
router. You did a 'show interface' command on the router. The result is shown below:
Branch#show interface serial 0/0
Serial0/0 is down, line protocol is down
Hardware is HD64570
Internet address is 192.168.10.2/30
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255
Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec)
Last input never, output 00:03:11, output hang never
Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
Input queue: 0/75/0 (size/max(drops): Total output drops: 0
Queuing strategy: weighted fair
Output queue: 0/1000/64/0 (size/max active/threshold/drops)
Conversations 0/2/256 (active/max active/max total)
Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated)
5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 no buffer
Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort
11 packets output, 476 bytes, 0 underruns
0 output errors, 0 collisions, 27 interface resets
0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out
11 carrier transitions
DCD=down DSR=down DTR=down RTS=down CTS=down
Based on the output of the 'show interface serial 0/0' command issued on the branch router,
which OSI layer is most likely causing the problem?

a. Transport layer

b. Session layer

c. Data layer

d. Physical layer

e. Network layer
Answer 5
Correct answer: d
Explanation:
The most important clue of the problem encountered here is 'Serial0/0 is down'. This
indicates a problem with physical connectivity on interface serial 0/0. If the output above
showed ' Serial0/0 is up, line protocol is down', then there is very likely an issue with the
data-link layer.
Test Objective:
OSI Reference Model & Layered Communications
