Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) NetworkingExam - CCST-Networking Exam Practice Test
Move each network type from the list on the left to the correct example on the right.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
* Two home office computers are connected to a switch by Ethernet cables.
* Network Type: LAN (Local Area Network)
* Explanation: A LAN connects devices within a limited area such as a home, office, or building, using Ethernet cables or Wi-Fi.
* Three government buildings in the same city connect to a cable company over coaxial cables.
* Network Type: MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
* Explanation: A MAN connects networks across a city or campus, often using fiber optic or coaxial cables.
* A cell phone connects to a Bluetooth headset.
* Network Type: PAN (Personal Area Network)
* Explanation: A PAN connects devices within a personal workspace, typically using wireless technologies like Bluetooth.
* A financial institution connects its branches through a telecommunications service provider.
* Network Type: WAN (Wide Area Network)
* Explanation: A WAN connects multiple LANs over long distances, often using leased lines or satellite links provided by telecommunications companies.
* LAN (Local Area Network): Used for connecting devices within a small geographical area such as a single building or home.
* MAN (Metropolitan Area Network): Covers a larger geographical area than a LAN, typically a city or campus.
* PAN (Personal Area Network): Connects devices within the range of an individual person, such as connecting a phone to a Bluetooth headset.
* WAN (Wide Area Network): Spans large geographical areas, connecting multiple LANs across cities, countries, or continents.

You purchase a new Cisco switch, turn it on, and connect to its console port. You then run the following command:
For each statement about the output, select True or False.
Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct selection.
For each statement about the output, select True or False.
Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct selection.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
* The two interfaces are administratively shut down:
* False: The output does not show any "shutdown" command under the interfaces, which would indicate that they are administratively shut down. Therefore, they are likely in their default state, which is administratively up.
* The two interfaces have default IP addresses assigned:
* False: The output does not show any IP address configuration. In the default state, interfaces do not have IP addresses assigned unless explicitly configured.
* The two interfaces can communicate over Layer 2:
* True: By default, interfaces on a switch are Layer 2 interfaces capable of forwarding Ethernet frames. As there is no configuration provided that changes this, it can be assumed they can communicate over Layer 2.
* Interface Status: The absence of the "shutdown" command means the interfaces are not administratively shut down.
* IP Address Assignment: There is no evidence in the output that IP addresses have been assigned to the interfaces, which would typically be shown as "ip address" entries.
* Layer 2 Communication: Switch interfaces in their default state operate at Layer 2, enabling them to forward Ethernet frames and participate in Layer 2 communication.
