	The route that the packets take to reach the destination site will vary.
	Packet-switched networks send data packets over different routes of a shared public network owned by a carrier to reach the same destination.
	In a packet-switching network, each customer uses the full bandwidth on its virtual circuit.
	The 3PSTN uses packet switching.
	The cost to the customer is generally lower than with point-to-point leased lines.
12. Which three statements accurately describe DSL? (Choose three.)
	An ISP is not required to connect enterprise users through DSL.
	Current DSL technologies are using sophisticated coding and modulation techniques to achieve data rates of up to 10 Mbps.
	A subscriber can connect to a DSL enterprise network directly.
	DSL technology is a circuit-switched connection technology that uses existing twisted-pair telephone lines to transport high-bandwidth data, such as multimedia and video, to service subscribers.
	DSL technology allows use of the local-loop line for normal telephone voice connection and an always-on connection for instant network connectivity.
	DSL technologies place upload (upstream) and download (downstream) data transmissions at frequencies above this 4-kHz window, allowing both voice and data transmissions to occur simultaneously on a DSL service.

	Upstream (upload) speed is usually faster than the downstream (download) speed.
	DSL is not universally available in all geographic locations.
15. Which two statements accurately describe cable connections? (Choose two.)

	Cable modems enable two-way, high-speed data transmissions using the same coaxial lines that transmit cable television.
	Cable modem access provides speeds superior to leased lines, with lower costs and simpler installation.
	Cable modems use the telephone system infrastructure, so there are local-loop charges.
16. Which three statements accurately describe the history of the Internet? (Choose three.)
	The 1993 release of a graphical, easy-to-use browser called Navigator popularized the web.
	U.S. Department of Defense researchers devised a way to break messages into parts, sending each part separately to its destination, where reassembly of the message would take place. Today, this method of data transmission is known as a packet system
	The University of Southern California installed the first computer on the packet system developed by the Department of Defense.
	The origin of what has become the Internet began with a need at the Department of Defense for an inventory management network that linked several of their computing facilities around the country.

20. Which statement most accurately describes static and dynamic routes?
	Dynamic routes are manually configured by a network administrator, whereas static routes are automatically learned and adjusted by a routing protocol.
	Static routes are manually configured by a network administrator, whereas dynamic routes are automatically learned and adjusted by a routing protocol.
	Static routes tell the router how to forward packets to networks that are not directly connected, whereas dynamic routes tell the router how to forward packets to networks that are directly connected.
	Dynamic routes tell the router how to forward packets to networks that are not directly connected, whereas static routes tell the router how to forward packets to networks that are directly connected.

	Both 186.157.5.0 and 10.1.1.3 use a mask of 255.255.255.0.
	The router should use network 186.157.5.0 to get to address 10.1.1.3.
	You want the router to trace a route to network 186.157.5.0 via 10.1.1.3.

	The time required to connect through the WAN is fast.
	There are no limitations on the signal rate in a PSTN connection.
26. Which three statements accurately describe a point-to-point communication link? (Choose three.)
	A point-to-point (or serial) communication link provides a single, preestablished WAN communications path from the customer premises through a carrier network, such as a telephone company, to a remote network.
	Carriers usually lease out point-to-point lines. This is why point-to-point lines are often called leased lines.
	A point-to-point (or serial) line usually connects two relatively close sites.
	For a point-to-point line, the carrier dedicates fixed transport capacity and facility hardware to the line of a customer.
	The purpose of a DSU/CSU in a point-to-point communication link is to ensure reliable delivery of data packets over the connection.
	Multiplexing technologies are not used in point-to-point communications.
27. Which three statements accurately describe bandwidth available for WAN connections? (Choose three.)
	In North America, bandwidth is usually expressed as a “DS” number (DS0, DS1, and so forth) that technically refers to the rate and format of the signal.
	To get a DS1 line (also called a T1 line), 12 DS0s can be bundled to achieve a total speed of 1.544 Mbps.
	The bandwidth on a serial connection can be incrementally increased to accommodate the need for faster transmission.
	The most fundamental line speed is 1.544 Mbps (DS1), which is the bandwidth required for an uncompressed, digitized phone call.
	Optical networks use a bandwidth hierarchy, which again differs between North America and Europe. In Europe, the OC defines the bandwidth points, and in North America, the SDH defines the bandwidth points.
	Bandwidth refers to the rate at which data is transferred over the communication link.

	PPP provides router-to-router and host-to-network connections over asynchronous circuits.
	PPP originally emerged as an encapsulation protocol for transporting IP traffic over point-to-point links.
	PPP established a standard for the management of TCP sessions.
	PPP provides router-to-router and host-to-network connections over synchronous and asynchronous circuits.
	The LCP in PPP is used for establishment, configuration, and testing the data-link connection.
30. Which three statements describe considerations for point-to-point communication links? (Choose three.)
	Point-to-point communication links require minimal expertise to install and maintain.
	Point-to-point communication links usually offer a high quality of service.
	Point-to-point communication links provide permanent, dedicated capacity that is always available.
	With leased lines, the bandwidth of the line is usually what is needed for communication.
	Point-to-point communication links are available on a shared basis.
	In point-to-point communication links, endpoints share the interfaces on the router, which decreases equipment costs.
31. Which command enables HDLC?

34. What does the ppp authentication chap pap command configure?
	CHAP authentication will always be used.
	Either CHAP or PAP will be used, selected at random for security.
	CHAP authentication will be used unless the remote router requests PAP.
	If authentication fails using CHAP, then PAP authentication is attempted.
35. Which output from the show interface command indicates that PPP is configured properly?
	Encaps = PPP
	PPP encapsulation
	Encapsulation PPP
	Encapsulation HDLC using PPP
36. Which three statements properly describe Frame Relay? (Choose three.)
	Frame Relay works at the application layer.
	The connection to the network edge is often a leased line but dial-up connections are available from some providers using ISDN or xDSL lines.
	Frame Relay implements no error or flow control.
	Available data rates for Frame Relay are commonly up to 10 Mbps.
	Most Frame Relay connections are SVCs rather than PVCs.
	Frame Relay provides both PVC and SVC service using shared medium-bandwidth connectivity that carries both voice and data traffic.
37. Which three statements accurately describe ATM? (Choose three.)
	ATM is implemented by using virtual circuits.
	An ATM network is comprised of ATM routers, which are responsible for forwarding cells and packets.
	Virtual circuits provide a bidirectional communications path from one ATM endpoint to another.
	An ATM virtual circuit is a physical circuit-switched connection created between two computer endpoints across an ATM network.
	ATM can run over only coaxial cable using DS3.
