What are two things that could be attempted that would allow communications between the hosts?

Page2


Workstation A has been assigned an IP address of 192.0.2.24/28. Workstation B has been assigned an IP address of 192.0.2.100/28. The two workstations are connected with a straight- through cable. Attempts to ping between the hosts are unsuccessful. What are two things that could be attempted that would allow communications between the hosts? (Choose two.)

 

A. Replace the straight-through cable with a crossover cable.
B. Change the subnet mask of the hosts to /25.
C. Change the subnet mask of the hosts to /26.
D. Change the address of Workstation A to 192.0.2.15.
E. Change the address of Workstation B to 192.0.2.111.

Answer : A and B

Explanation:

A: Host to Host communication needs crossover cable.



Both hosts using 190.0.2.0 network with /28 mask.

Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.240

= 256 – 240 = 16

Network Address Broadcast Address
0 15
16 31 (Host A)
32 47
48 63
64 79
80 95
96 111 (Host B)
112 127
128 143
144 159
160 175


Option D and E are not possible: because both are broadcast addresses.



In case we use /26 instead of /28  then

Network Address Broadcast Address
0 63 (Host A)
64 127 (Host B)
128 191
192 255

C: Now also Host A and Host B belongs to different subnets.



In case we use /25 instead of /28 then

Network Address Broadcast Address
0 128 (Host A & Host B)
128 255

B: If we use /25, both Host A and Host B belongs same subnet

Cisco Packet Tracer Multi User Connection

Multiuser communication allows multiple point-to-point (peer) connections between multiple instances of Packet Tracer. By allowing communication between Packet Tracer instances, a new door has been opened to a fun, interactive, social, collaborative, and competitive learning environment. Instructors will now be able to create a variety of activities for students to learn in groups that will facilitate greater social interaction between students. Students will benefit from this environment by working together to solve problems and share ideas. Both students and teachers should take full advantage that Multiuser will offer in their learning environment. Technical Information Communicates between instances using PTMP. PTMP is TCP based. By default, uses TCP port 38000, is customizable, and each new instances on the same PC will use the next available port. On by default. UPnP will attempt to establish port forwarding to facilitate home networks. All network co...

Access Control List (ACL) Simlet

An administrator is trying to ping and telnet from Switch to Router with the results shown below: For this question we only need to use the show running-config command to answer all the questions below: Router>enable Router#show running-config   Question 1 Which will fix the issue and allow ONLY ping to work while keeping telnet disabled? A. Correctly assign an IP address to interface fa0/1 B. Change the ip access-group command on fa0/0 from “in” to “out” C. Remove access-group 106 in from interface fa0/0 and add access-group 115 in. D. Remove access-group 102 out from interface s0/0/0 and add access-group 114 in E. Remove access-group 106 in from interface fa0/0 and add access-group 104 in Answer : E Explanation: The question was not about FTP so skip line #1 and line #2. The line #3 denies telnet traffic and line #4 permits icmp-echo traffic. L...

Host A pings interface S0/0 on router 3. What is the TTL value for that ping?

Refer to the exhibit. Host A pings interface S0/0 on router 3. What is the TTL value for that ping? A. 252 B. 253 C. 254 D. 255 Answer : B Explanation: The TTL or Time-To-Live gives you an indication of the number of routers between the source and destination. The TTL is used to prevent an IP packet from looping inside an IP network and causing a network meltdown. The initial TTL packet value for an IP packet is 255 and then it is decremented by 1 each time it encounters a router. When this value reaches 0, the packet is discarded by a router. The TTL value is contained in each IP packet including ICMP packets. The TTL value given by the ping command is in fact the TTL value of an echo_response packet. By default, Windows will decrease the TTL by 128 and Ubuntu Linux by 192. The above the exact topology of this questions. I used 10.0.0.1 for Host A’s IP address and 12.0.0.2 for R3 S0/0’s IP address. All router has been config...
