6. 

Refer to the exhibit. What statement is true about the exhibited output? 
• LCP is in the process of negotiating a link. 
• LCP and NCP are waiting for CHAP authentication to complete. 
• LCP negotiation has completed successfully, but NCP negotiation is in progress. 
• LCP and NCP negotiation is complete, and the data link service is available to carry packets.
7. Which three statements are true regarding LCP? (Choose three.) 
• It is responsible for negotiating link establishment. 
• It negotiates options for Layer 3 protocols running over PPP. 
• It uses MD5 encryption while negotiating link-establishment parameters. 
• It terminates the link upon user request or the expiration of an inactivity timer. 
• It can test the link to determine if link quality is sufficient to bring up the link. 
• It monitors the link for congestion and dynamically adjusts the acceptable window size.
8. Why are Frame Relay paths referred to as virtual? 
• Frame Relay PVCs are created and discarded on demand. 
• The connections between PVC endpoints act like dialup circuits. 
• There are no dedicated circuits to and from the Frame Relay carrier. 
• The physical circuits inside the Frame Relay cloud do not contain exclusive links for a specific Frame Relay connection.
9. What best describes the use of a data-link connection identifier (DLCI)?

• ARP 
• ICMP 
• Proxy ARP 
• Inverse ARP

11. Which three statements describe functions of the Point-to-Point Protocol with regards to the OSI model?(Choose three.) 
• operates at all layers of the OSI model 
• provides a mechanism to multiplex several network layer protocols 
• can be configured on both synchronous and asynchronous serial interfaces 
• uses Layer 3 of the OSI model to establish and maintain a session between devices 
• uses the data link layer to configure such options as error detection and compression 
• uses network control protocols to test and maintain connectivity between devices
12. At what physical location does the responsibility for a WAN connection change from the user to the service provider? 
• demilitarized zone (DMZ) 
• demarcation point 
• local loop 
• cloud
13. What does a Frame Relay switch use to inform the sender that there is congestion? 
• FECN 
• BECN 
• DE 
• FCS
14. 

Refer to the exhibit. What statement is true about the debug output? 
• R2 is using PAP instead of CHAP. 
• The routers have different CHAP passwords configured. 
• The administrator performed a shutdown on the R2 PPP interface during negotiation. 
• The Layer 3 protocol negotiation caused the connection failure.
15. Which two statements describe the function of time-division multiplexing? (Choose two.) 
• Multiple data streams share one common channel. 
• Conversations that require extra bandwidth receive any unused time slices. 
• Time slots are utilized on a first-come, first-served basis. 
• Time slots go unused if a sender has nothing to transmit. 
• Priority can be dedicated to one data source.
16. When customers use credit cards to make purchases at a small business, a modem is heard dialing a telephone number to transfer the transaction data to the central office. What type of WAN serial connection is in use? 
• leased line 
• point-to-point 
• circuit switched 
• packet switched
17. Which best describes data communications equipment (DCE)? 
• serves as data source and/or destination 
• responsible for negotiating windowing and acknowledgements 
• physical devices such as protocol translators and multiplexers 
• equipment that forwards data and is responsible for the clocking signal
18. Permanent virtual circuits and switched virtual circuits are both part of which option for WAN connectivity? 
• leased line 
• cell switching 
• packet switching 
• circuit switching
19. Which field of a frame uses error detection mechanisms to verify that the frame is not damaged intransit? 
• FCS 
• MTU 
• flag 
• control 
• protocol
20. What occurs in the encapsulation process as a data packet moves from a LAN across a WAN? 
• The Layer 2 encapsulation changes to a format that is appropriate for the WAN technology. 
• The Layer 3 encapsulation changes to a format that is appropriate for the WAN technology. 
• Both Layer 2 and Layer 3 encapsulation change to a technology that is appropriate for the WAN. 
• Both Layer 2 and Layer 3 encapsulation remain constant as the data packet travels throughout the network.
