01. Two routers are configured to authenticate a PPP link. The security team asks which of PAP and CHAP exposes the password on the link.
What is the correct answer?
a) CHAP, because it transmits the password in response to the challenge it receives
b) Neither, because both hash the username and password before transmitting them
c) Both, because PPP authentication takes place before the link is encrypted
d) PAP, because it sends the username and password directly across the link
02. Hosts on a branch subnet fail to obtain addresses automatically. The DHCP server is reachable and working, but it sits on a different subnet, across a router from the clients.
What explains the failure, and what resolves it?
a) The clients' initial messages are unicasts, which the router cannot resolve; a static route is needed
b) The clients' initial messages are broadcasts, which the router does not forward; a DHCP relay is needed
c) The server cannot allocate addresses outside its own subnet; a second server on the branch subnet is needed
d) The router discards the messages because they carry no source address; assigning the router an address on both subnets resolves it
03. An engineer examines an interface and finds it has an IPv6 address beginning FE80::.
What is the scope of this address?
a) It is a temporary address used only until a global address is configured
b) It is a globally routable address that can be reached from anywhere on the internet
c) It is valid only on the local link and is not forwarded by a router
d) It is a multicast address, used to reach all nodes and routers attached to the link
04. On a Comware device, what is the effect of prefixing a previously entered configuration command with undo?
a) It hides the command from the running configuration without changing behavior
b) It restores the device to the last saved configuration file
c) It reverses every command entered since the session began, returning the device to its login state
d) It reverses that command, removing the setting or returning it to its default
05. A router learns two routes to the same destination prefix 172.16.8.0/24. One is a static route with preference 60 and metric 0. The other is an OSPF route with preference 10 and metric 100.
Which route is installed in the routing table, and on what basis?
a) The static route, because its metric of 0 is lower than the OSPF metric of 100
b) The static route, because a manually configured route always overrides a learned one
c) The OSPF route, because its preference of 10 is lower than the static preference of 60
d) Both routes, because they have different metrics and can share the load
06. Two switches are connected by several physical links bundled into one logical aggregation. The design team is deciding between a static bundle and one negotiated with LACP.
Which statements about choosing LACP are correct?
(Choose two.)
a) A single traffic flow can exceed the capacity of one member link
b) The two ends exchange information and agree which links may join the bundle
c) The bundle continues to operate if the two ends disagree about its membership
d) A miscabled or one-way link can be detected and kept out of the bundle
e) Spanning tree treats each member link as a separate path to be blocked or forwarded
07. Before upgrading the system software on a production H3C router, an engineer copies the current configuration file to an external server.
What is the purpose of this step?
a) It frees storage space on the device so the new software image can be written
b) It is required before the device will permit new system software to be loaded
c) It allows the device's configuration to be restored if the upgrade has to be reversed
d) It transfers the configuration into the new software version's format automatically
08. A branch reaches head office over a leased line, with a backup broadband circuit that should carry traffic only if the leased line fails. Both paths are configured as static routes to the same destination.
How should the backup route be configured?
a) With a lower preference than the primary route, so it is held ready to take over
b) With a higher preference than the primary route, so it is installed only when the primary is withdrawn
c) With the same preference as the primary route, so the router can switch between them as needed
d) With a longer prefix than the primary route, so it is selected only for unmatched traffic
09. Four hosts connect to a hub. That hub connects to one port of a switch, and three further hosts connect to other ports on the same switch. No VLANs are configured.
How many collision domains and broadcast domains exist?
a) Four collision domains and one broadcast domain
b) Seven collision domains and one broadcast domain
c) Seven collision domains and seven broadcast domains
d) One collision domain and four broadcast domains
10. Data being sent by an application is passed down through the protocol stack toward the physical medium.
In which order is it named as it descends?
a) Segment, then frame, then packet, then bits
b) Packet, then segment, then frame, then bits
c) Frame, then packet, then segment, then bits
d) Segment, then packet, then frame, then bits
