CCST-NETWORKING Exam Questions & Answers

Correct Answer: C

In the provided image of the Cisco PoE switch, the ports identified with number 6 are the standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports typically found on switches that provide both data connectivity and Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE ports are designed to

supply power to devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices directly through the Ethernet cable.

Ports:

2: Console port (for management and configuration)

3 and 4: Specific function ports (often for management)

6: RJ-45 Ethernet ports (capable of providing PoE)

7: SFP ports (for fiber connections, typically do not provide PoE) Thus, the correct answer is C. Ports identified with number 6.

Correct Answer: A

SFTP, or Secure File Transfer Protocol, is a protocol that allows for secure file transfer capabilities between networked hosts. It is a secure extension of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). SFTP encrypts both commands and data, preventing

passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted openly over the network. It is typically used for secure file transfers over the internet and is built on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol1.

The Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a secure version of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that uses SSH (Secure Shell) to encrypt all commands and data. This ensures that sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and

files being transferred, are securely transmitted over the network.

-ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used for network diagnostics and is not designed for file transfer.

-NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to synchronize clocks between computer systems and is not related to file transfer.

-HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is used for transmitting web pages over the internet and does not inherently provide secure file transfer capabilities.

Thus, the correct protocol that allows secure uploading of files to another computer on the internet is SFTP.

Correct Answer: C

The tracert command output shows the path taken to reach the destination IP address, 192.168.1.10. The command output indicates:

-Hops 1 and 2 are successfully reached.

-Hop 3 times out, meaning the router at hop 3 did not respond to the tracert request.

However, this does not necessarily indicate a problem with forwarding packets, as some routers may be configured to block or not respond to ICMP requests. -Hops 4 and 5 are successfully reached, with hop 5 being the destination IP

192.168.1.10, indicating that the server is reachable.

Thus, the correct answer is C. The server with the address 192.168.1.10 is reachable over the network.

The tracert command output indicates that the server with the address 192.168.1.10 is reachable over the network. The asterisk (*) at hop 3 suggests that the probe sent to that hop did not return a response, which could be due to a variety of

reasons such as a firewall blocking ICMP packets or the router at that hop being configured not to respond to ICMP requests. However, since the subsequent hops (4 and 5) are showing response times, it means that the packets are indeed

getting through and the server is reachable.
