Ccna, Ccnp, And Cisco Security Practice Questions: Telnet, Signature Definition Files, And More!
Let’s test your knowledge of Telnet, SDF files, and other important Cisco certification exam topics. Answers are at the bottom of the page. No peeking!
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:
You attempt to Telnet to a Cisco router, and you receive the following message. What password is the router referring to?
R1#telnet 172.12.123.3
Trying 172.12.123.3
User Access Verification

CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:
What is the purpose of the 256MB.sdf file? What does the "256" refer to?
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
According to Cisco best practices, an OSPF area should contain no more than how many routers?
CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:
What purpose does the following command serve? What protocol is being configured?
R1(config-if)#standby 5 track s0/0 25
CCNP / ONT Exam:
What factors are generally used to determine whether Predictor or Stacker should be used for L2 payload compression?
Here are the answers!
CCNA: Answer: The password required here is the VTY line password.
CCNA Security / ISCW: Answer: This is one of three preconfigured Signature Definition Files. Cisco's website recommends running the Intruder Prevention System (IPS) with the preconfigured files - attack-drop.sdf, 128MB.sdf, and 256MB.sdf. The "128MB" and "256MB" refer to the amount of memory necessary to use these particular files.
BSCI: Answer: An OSPF area should contain no more than 50 routers.
BCMSN: Answer: This line configures HSRP Interface Tracking. Serial 0/0 is the tracked interface, and the "25" at the end of this command changes the decrement from its default of 10.
ONT: Answer: Cisco's website recommends that you choose Predictor if the congestion is due to an overloaded router, while Stacker is a good selection if limited bandwidth is the issue.
Additionally, Cisco's recommendation is that you disable compression if the CPU load goes over the 40% mark.
