Question #1
One advantage of dynamic routing is that it:
- A . Automatically maintains routing tables.
- B . Limits traffic derived from routing protocols.
- C . Reduces broadcast traffic.
- D . Automatically enables DHCP.
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
Dynamic Routing, also called adaptive routing, describes the capability of a system, through which routes are characterized by their destination, to alter the path that the route takes through the system in response to a change in conditions. The adaptation is intended to allow as many routes as possible to remain valid (that is, have destinations that can be reached) in response to the change.

Question #3
Connecting to a private network address from a public network requires:
- A . Network address translation (NAT).
- B . Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
- C . Network Access Protection (NAP).
- D . Dynamic domain name system (DDNS).
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
The majority of NATs map multiple private hosts to one publicly exposed IP address. In a typical configuration, a local network uses one of the designated "private" IP address subnets (RFC 1918). A router on that network has a private address in that address space. The router is also connected to the Internet with a "public" address assigned by an Internet service provider.

- A . IP address resolution to canonical names
- B . Secure shell connections
- C . Address reservation
- D . Network file transfer
- E . IP address exclusion
Correct Answer: CE
CE
Explanation:
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized network protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses for interfaces and services.
Some network devices need to use statically assigned IP addresses rather than addresses dynamically assigned through DHCP. For example, DHCP servers must have statically configured IP addresses. Also, some devices (such as legacy network printers) do not support DHCP. For the devices that need static IP assignments, the company creates an exclusion range from each IP address range.

Question #25
When a client’s DHCP-issued address expires, the client will:
- A . Select a new address and request approval from the DHCP server.
- B . Require manual configuration with a static IP address.
- C . Attempt to obtain a new address by broadcasting.
- D . Continue to use the address until it is notified to stop.
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
Rebinding would occur.
Rebinding
If the DHCP client is unable to communicate with the DHCP server from which it obtained its lease, and 87.5 percent of its lease time has expired, it will attempt to contact any available DHCP server by broadcasting DHCPRequest messages. Any DHCP server can respond with a DHCPAck message, renewing the lease, or a DHCPNak message, forcing the DHCP client to initialize and restart the lease process.
Note:
Renewing
IP addressing information is leased to a client, and the client is responsible for renewing the lease. By default, DHCP clients try to renew their lease when 50 percent of the lease time has expired. To renew its lease, a DHCP client sends a DHCPRequest message to the DHCP server from which it originally obtained the lease.
