Cisco CCST-NETWORKING Exam Questions & Answers

Correct Answer: C

On a Cisco switch, a port with a blinking green LED typically indicates that the port is up (active) and is currently transmitting or receiving data. This is a normal state indicating active traffic on the port.

-A. Link is up with cable malfunctions: Usually indicated by an amber or blinking amber light.

-B. Link is up and not stable: Not typically indicated by a green blinking light.

-D. Link is up and there is no activity: Would be indicated by a solid green light withoutblinking.

Thus, the correct answer is C. Link is up and active.

Correct Answer:

Based on the image description provided, here are the cable types matched with the appropriate connection descriptions:

Connects Switch S1 to Router R1 Gi0/0/1 interfaceCable Type: = Straight-through UTP Cable

Connects Router R2 Gi0/0/0 to Router R3 Gi0/0/0 via underground conduitCable Type : = Fiber Optic Cable

Connects Router R1 Gi0/0/0 to Router R2 Gi0/0/1Cable Type: = Crossover UTP Cable Connects Switch S3 to Server0 network interface cardCable Type: = Straight-through UTP Cable

The choices are based on standard networking practices where:

Straight-through UTP cablesare typically used to connect a switch to a router or a network interface card.

Fiber optic cablesare ideal for long-distance, high-speed data transmission, such as connections through an underground conduit.

Crossover UTP cablesare used to connect similar devices, such as router-to-router connections.

These matches are consistent with the color-coded cables in the image: green for switch connections, yellow for router-to-router connections within the same rack, and blue for inter-rack connections. The use of these cables follows the

Ethernet cabling standards.

Connects Switch S1 to Router R1 Gi0/0/1 interface:

Connects Router R2 Gi0/0/0 to Router R3 Gi0/0/0 via underground conduit:

Connects Router R1 Gi0/0/0 to Router R2 Gi0/0/1:

Connects Switch S3 to Server0 network interface card:

Straight-through UTP Cable: Used to connect different devices (e.g., switch to router, switch to server).

Crossover UTP Cable: Used to connect similar devices directly (e.g., router to router, switch to switch).

Fiber Optic Cable: Used for long-distance and high-speed connections, often between buildings or data centers.

Correct Answer:

Two home office computers are connected to a switch by Ethernet cables. Three government buildings in the same city connect to a cable company over coaxial cables.

A cell phone connects to a Bluetooth headset.

A financial institution connects its branches through a telecommunications service provider.

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.
