a single byte of binary 11111111*
the IP address of the serial interface
a single byte of binary 00000000

2
How does PPP interface with different network layer protocols?

by specifying the protocol during link establishment through LCP
by encoding the information field in the PPP frame
by using separate NCPs*
by negotiating with the network layer handler

3

Place the options in the following order:
Compression
Multilink
Maximum Receive Unit
– not scored –

4
Which command can be used to view the cable type that is attached to a serial interface?

Router(config)# show controllers*
Router(config)# show ip interface
Router(config)# show interfaces
Router(config)# show ip interface brief

5
In which situation would the use of PAP be preferable to the use of CHAP?

when plain text passwords are needed to simulate login at the remote host*
when router resources are limited
when multilink PPP is used
when a network administrator prefers it because of ease of configuration

6
Which protocol will terminate the PPP link after the exchange of data is complete?

IPCP
LCP*
IPXCP
NCP

7

Refer to the exhibit. Which statement describes the status of the PPP connection?

Both the link-establishment and network-layer phase completed successfully.*
Only the network-layer phase completed successfully.
Only the link-establishment phase completed successfully.
Neither the link-establishment phase nor the network-layer phase completed successfully.

8
Which is an advantage of using PPP on a serial link instead of HDLC?

option for session establishment
higher speed transmission
option for authentication*
fixed-size frames

9
Which three statements are true about PPP? (Choose three.)

PPP can use synchronous and asynchronous circuits.*
PPP carries packets from several network layer protocols in LCPs.
PPP can only be used between two Cisco devices.
PPP uses LCPs to agree on format options such as authentication, compression, and error detection.*
PPP uses LCPs to establish, configure, and test the data link connection.*

10
When configuring Multilink PPP, where is the IP address for the multilink bundle configured?

on a subinterface
on a physical serial interface
on a physical Ethernet interface
on a multilink interface*

11
Which field marks the beginning and end of an HDLC frame?

FCS
Flag*
Control
Data

12

Refer to the exhibit. Based on the debug command output that is shown, which statement is true of the operation of PPP.

Both PAP and CHAP authentication were attempted.
A PPP session was successfully established.*
CHAP authentication failed because of an unknown hostname.
The debug output is from router R2.

13
During a PPP session establishment phase, which two messages are sent by the requested party if the options are not acceptable? (Choose two.)

Configure-Reject*
Code-Reject
Discard-Request
Configure-Nak*
Protocol-Reject

14
A network administrator is evaluating authentication protocols for a PPP link. Which three factors might lead to the selection of CHAP over PAP as the authentication protocol? (Choose three.)

uses an unpredictable variable challenge value to prevent playback attacks*
uses a three-way authentication periodically during the session to reconfirm identities*
transmits login information in encrypted format*
control by the remote host of the frequency and timing of login events
establishes identities with a two-way handshake
makes authorized network administrator intervention a requirement to establish each session
