N10-005: Exam Answer 1

Q.  Which of the following is an example of an IPv4 address using CIDR notation?

A. 127.0.0.1
B. 192.168.1.1
C. 192.168.5.1/30
D. 169.254.17.4/36

is correct. Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) uses a slash (/) and a decimal number to indicate how many bits are one (1) in the subnet mask. The /30 indicates that the subnet mask is 255.255.255.252.

A is incorrect. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address but it doesn’t use CIDR notation.
B is incorrect. An address without a slash is not using CIDR notation.
C is incorrect.  CCMP is an encryption protocol used with wireless networks.

Objective:  1.3 Explain the purpose and properties of IP addressing.

N10-005 Exam: Answer 2

Q.What class of IP address is 224.100.200.3?

A. Class A
B. Class B
C. Class C
D. Class D

Answer D is correct. Class D addresses are used for multicasting and they start with 224.

A is incorrect. Class A addresses are in the range of 1.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.254. In other words, the first number is any number from 1 to 126. 127 is reserved for testing and 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address.
B is incorrect. Class B addresses are in the range of 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.254. In other words, the first number is any number from 128 to 191. 127 is reserved for testing and 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address.
C is incorrect. Class C addresses are in the range of 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.254. In other words, the first number is any number from 192 to 223.

Objective:  1.3 Explain the purpose and properties of IP addressing.

N10-005: Answer 3

Q.  Using ipconfig, you see a computer has an IP address of 169.254.4.23 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. What type of address is this?

A. IPv6
B. APIPA
C. DHCP assigned
D. DNS assigned

Answer B is correct. An address starting with 169.254.x.x is an Automatic Private Internet Protocol Addressing (APIPA) address.
A is incorrect. IPv6 addresses use hexadecimal characters, not decimal characters.
C is incorrect. APIPA addresses are assigned when a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client requests a DHCP lease, but a DHCP server doesn’t offer a DHCP lease. In other words, a DHCP server never assigns an APIPA address.
Dis incorrect. Domain Name System (DNS) servers resolve host names to IP addresses with A or AAAA records, IP addresses to host names with PTR records, locate mail servers with MX records, and allow systems to have an alias with CNAME records. DNS servers do not assign any type of IP addresses.
Objective:  1.3 Explain the purpose and properties of IP addressing.
