A network administrator is configuring a new network segment that will use EIGRP as its routing protocol. The network consists of several routers connected in a mesh topology. The administrator wants to ensure efficient use of bandwidth and quick convergence in case of a link failure.
One of the routers, Router A, is connected to a critical server that hosts time-sensitive applications.
What should the administrator prioritize when configuring EIGRP on Router A to ensure the best performance for time-sensitive applications?
Increase the bandwidth metric on all links.
Increase the hop count metric.
Decrease the delay metric on the link to the critical server.
Enable periodic updates of the entire routing information base.
Decrease the delay metric on the link to the critical server.

In a RIP network, Router X is connected to networks 10.0.1.0/24 and 10.0.2.0/24. Router Y is connected to networks 10.0.2.0/24 and 10.0.3.0/24. Router Z is connected to networks 10.0.3.0/24 and 10.0.4.0/24.
If Router X needs to send data to the 10.0.4.0/24 network, which of the following paths will it choose based on RIP's routing protocol mechanics?
Directly to Router Z because it is the final destination
It will not be able to find a route because RIP does not support more than two hops
To Router Y, then back to Router X because of a routing loop
To Router Y, then Router Z because it has the lowest hop count
To Router Y, then Router Z because it has the lowest hop count

You run a small network for your business that has a single router connected to the Internet and a single switch. You keep sensitive documents on a computer that you would like to keep isolated from other computers on the network.
Other hosts on the network should not be able to communicate with this computer through the switch, but you still need to access the network through the computer.
Which of the following should you use in this situation?
Spanning Tree
VLAN
VPN
Port security
VLAN

What does a router do when it receives a packet with a destination address?

Discards the packet immediately
Sends the packet back to the source
Forwards the packet based on the source address
Reads destination the address and forwards the packet

A network engineer is troubleshooting connectivity issues in a network and uses the traceroute command to diagnose the problem. The traceroute output shows that packets are being sent through an unexpected path that includes the same routers multiple times.
What does this indicate, and what should the engineer check first?
This indicates a split horizon issue; the engineer should check if split horizon is disabled.
This indicates a well-optimized network; the engineer should check for any unused routes.
This indicates a potential routing loop; the engineer should check the routing configurations on the involved routers.
This indicates excessive route summarization; the engineer should check the summarization boundaries.
This indicates a potential routing loop; the engineer should check the routing configurations on the involved routers

A small tech startup, TechInnovate, has recently moved to a new office and is in the process of setting up their internet connection. They have been allocated a single public IP address by their Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The company has 25 employees, each with at least one device that needs to connect to the Internet. The IT manager decides to implement Port Address Translation (PAT) on their network router.
Given this scenario, which of the following outcomes is MOST likely to occur as a result of implementing PAT?
Each device will be assigned a public IP address by the router.
Internet access will be limited to only one device at a time due to the single public IP address.
Each device will be assigned a unique public IP address by the router.
All devices will be able to access the Internet simultaneously using the single public IP address.
All devices will be able to access the Internet simultaneously using the single public IP address.
