A failure of the switch that connects the Cisco Call Manager to the network will cause the entire IP telephony system to fail.

Using Layer 3 switches to interconnect the data center servers to the IP phones introduces too much delay.

The IP phones need to be redundantly connected to the switches to prevent single points of failure at the access layer.

If one of the Layer 3 switches fails, the Cisco Call Manager will be unreachable.

What can the NetworkingCompany network technician do to obtain or change the passwords and gain access to the router?

Use a TFTP server to download a new configuration file to the router that contains the passwords used on the car dealership network and then reload the router.

Connect a rollover cable to the serial0/0 port of the router in order to bypass the password security, and use the show running-config command to obtain the passwords.

Connect a console cable to the router, power cycle the router, issue a Ctrl-Break to enter ROM monitor mode, and change the configuration register to bypass the startup configuration.

19. The main office of a NetworkingCompany customer currently connects to three branch offices via three separate point-to-point T1 circuits. The customer network uses RIPv2 as the routing protocol within both the LAN and the WAN. The account manager proposes a change to a Frame Relay network because the costs are lower. A single local loop connection can be installed at the main office with three separate PVCs to connect the branch offices. How can the main office edge router be configured to enable the customer to continue to use RIP as the WAN routing protocol?

Enable Inverse ARP on the serial interface in order to learn the routes to the IP addresses of the remote routers.

To prevent the Frame Relay network from causing a routing loop, disable split horizon on the serial interface.

Create three separate point-to-point subinterfaces on the serial interface and assign a different subnet IP address to each one.

Configure the serial interface with a single interface DLCI number and create frame-relay map statements for each remote site address.

When questioned, the systems engineer responds that the switches recommended by the designer cannot be purchased within the budget limitations of the customer. Which action should the account manager take?

Inform the customer that the project cannot be completed given the unreasonable budget constraints.

Communicate any risks associated with the equipment substitution and obtain customer approval to proceed.

Because the customer is probably aware that the budget limitations will require lower cost, less capable equipment, the account manager should do nothing.

35. After performing a password recovery operation on a router, the network field engineer copies the running configuration to the startup configuration and then reloads the router. The router boots successfully but immediately enters the setup mode. The engineer manually loads the startup configuration using the copy start run command and verifies that the configuration is correct and the passwords are reset. What can cause the router to enter setup mode rather than load the correct startup configuration file?

The field engineer configured the incorrect passwords in the startup configuration file.

The configuration register setting was not changed back to the correct value before the router was reloaded.

The running configuration was not successfully saved to the startup configuration before the router was reloaded.

DLCI 22 replaces the MAC address in the ARP table for entry 10.1.1.1.

The remote router that is connected to network 10.1.1.0 enters 22 the DLCI for host 10.1.1.1.

Inverse-ARP is used to add an entry for 10.1.1.1 into the Frame Relay map table using DLCI 22.
