The TCP/IP model is a hierarchical protocol for network communication. It consists of four layers: the application layer, the transport layer, the internet layer, and the network interface layer. Each layer has specific functions and protocols that enable data transmission over the internet123

The TCP/IP model does not specify how to compress, fragment, encrypt, or analyze data. These are functions that may be performed by some protocols at different layers, but they are not part of the TCP/IP model itself. Therefore, option B is incorrect.

The TCP/IP model does not depend on the underlying physical network or data link technology. It can work on any network that supports IP addressing and routing, such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, ATM, etc. Therefore, options A and E are incorrect.

The TCP/IP model specifies how to assemble, address, transmit, route, and disassemble a data packet. This is the core function of the internet layer, which uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to perform these tasks. IP is responsible for delivering packets from the source to the destination, based on the IP addresses of the hosts. Therefore, option C is correct.

The TCP/IP model is a set of communication protocols used on IP-based networks only. This means that any network that supports the internet layer of the TCP/IP model can use the TCP/IP protocols. IP-based networks are the most common and widely used networks in the world, as they enable the interconnection of different networks and devices across the internet. Therefore, option D is correct. References: https://www.guru99.com/tcp-ip-model.html

 Wi-Fi is a wireless networking protocol that uses radio waves to communicate data over the air. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that have different characteristics depending on their amplitude, phase, and frequency. Amplitude is the height of the wave, phase is the position of the wave relative to a reference point, and frequency is the number of cycles of the wave per second. To transmit data using Wi-Fi, these characteristics are modulated, or changed, according to a predefined scheme that encodes bits of information. For example, a high amplitude wave can represent a 1 bit, and a low amplitude wave can represent a 0 bit. Similarly, a positive phase shift can represent a 1 bit, and a negative phase shift can represent a 0 bit. Likewise, a high frequency wave can represent a 1 bit, and a low frequency wave can represent a 0 bit. By modulating these characteristics, Wi-Fi can transmit data in binary form over the air. Different modulation schemes can achieve different data rates and reliability, depending on the channel conditions and interference. Some common modulation schemes used by Wi-Fi are Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). References: Understanding Wi-Fi and How It Works, Introduction to Wi-Fi Wireless Networking, Wireless Communication - Overview, Wireless Communication | Set 1.

 The 5 GHz band is a radio frequency band used for Wi-Fi communications. It has a higherdata bandwidth than the 2.4 GHz band, but a shorter range and less penetration through walls. The 5 GHz band is divided into several sub-bands, each with a different set of channels. One of these sub-bands is the U-NII-3 band, which covers the frequency range from 5725 MHz to 5850 MHz. This sub-band contains 24 non-overlapping channels, numbered from 149 to 172. Channels 149 to 161 are part of the 5 GHz band and can be used for Wi-Fi communications. Channels 165 and 169 are restricted to indoor use only, and channel 173 is not allowed in some regions. Channels 12, 13, and 14 are not part of the 5 GHz band, but belong to the 2.4 GHz band, which has a different set of channels and regulations. U-NII-5 is not a valid sub-band name, but a proposed extension of the 5 GHz band to include the frequency range from 5925 MHz to 7125 MHz. This extension is not yet approved or implemented, and therefore not part of the 5 GHz band. References: List of WLAN channels, What’s the Difference Between 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi (and Which Should I Use)?, What is the difference between 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz wireless frequencies?

 A switch is a device that operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It is responsible for forwarding frames based on the MAC addresses of the source and destination devices. A switch can also perform media access control, VLAN tagging, QoS, and other Layer 2 functions. A router, on the other hand, operates at the network layer (Layer 3) and routes packets based on their IP addresses. A transceiver is a device that converts electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa, and operates at the physical layer (Layer 1). A UTP cable is a type of twisted pair cable that is also used at the physical layer to transmit data. References: Data link layer - Wikipedia, Data Link Layer | Layer 2 | The OSI-Model, What is Layer 2? - Definition from Techopedia, An Overview of Layer 2 Ethernet – What is it and why does it matter?

To enable internet access on a multilayer switch, you need to configure a default route that points to the ISP router as the next hop. A default route is a special type of static route that matches any destination IP address that is not found in the routing table. The syntax for adefault route is ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 , where 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 means any IP address and any subnet mask. Alternatively, you can use the slash notation 0.0.0.0/0 to represent the same thing. Therefore, the correct configuration line to enter on the switch is ip route 0.0.0.0/0 172.16.31.254, which means that any traffic that is not destined for a local network will be forwarded to the ISP router at 172.16.31.254.

The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong syntax or the wrong IP address. Option A uses the route command instead of the ip route command, which is not valid on a multilayer switch. Option C uses the routing command instead of the ip route command, which is also not valid on a multilayer switch. Option D uses the ip routing command instead of the ip route command, which is used to enable routing on the switch, not to configure a default route. Option D also omits the dots in the IP address and the subnet mask, which makes it invalid.

Broadcast communication is the distribution of audio or video content to a dispersed audience via any electronic mass communications medium, using the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves), in a one-to-many model1. A broadcast message is a message that is sent to all endpoints on the network, regardless of their address or identity2. An example of a broadcast message is an ARP request, which is used to find the MAC address of a device that has a specific IP address3. An ARP request is sent to the broadcast address of the network, which is usually the last address in the subnet (e.g., 192.168.1.255 for a /24 network). All devices on the network receive the ARP request and check if their IP address matches the one in the request. If so, they reply with their MAC address to the sender of the ARP request. If not, they ignore the request4. Therefore, an ARP request is an example of broadcast communication, while the other options are not. A DHCP offer is a message that is sent by a DHCP server to a specific client that requested an IP address5. An ICMP echo is a message that is sent by a device to test the connectivity and latency to another device. An HTTP Get is a message that is sent by a web browser to request a web page from a web server. These messages are not broadcast, but rather unicast, meaning they are sent to a single destination. References: 1: Broadcasting - Wikipedia 2: Broadcast communication network - Wikipedia 3: [Address Resolution Protocol - Wikipedia] 4: [How ARP Works - Cisco] 5: [DHCP - Wikipedia] : [Ping (networking utility) - Wikipedia] : [Hypertext Transfer Protocol - Wikipedia] : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_Resolution_Protocol : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/dynamic-address-allocation- resolution/13718-5.html : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_(networking_utility) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol

To access the second interface of a one-rack-unit standalone ArubaOS-CX switch, you should enter the command interface 0/0/2. This command specifies the interface name in the format of interface //, where  is the chassis number,  is the module number, and  is the port number. For a one-rack-unit standalone switch, the chassis number is always 0, and the module number is also 0 for the front panel ports. The port number starts from 1 and increments by 1 for each port. Therefore, the second interface of the switch is named interface 0/0/2. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the correct interface naming convention for a one-rack-unit standalone switch. References: ArubaOS-CX 10.05 Command-Line Interface Guide 6200 Switch Series, ArubaOS-CX Switches - Configuring for initial access and performing a software upgrade

The IP address 10.0.128.0/23 is a Class A private address with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0. This means that the network prefix is 10.0.128.0 and the host identifier is the last 9 bits of the address. To find the number of IP assignable addresses, we need to subtract 2 from the total number of possible hosts, which is29=512. This is because the network address (10.0.128.0) and the broadcast address (10.0.129.255) are reserved and cannot be assigned to any host. Therefore, the number of IP assignable addresses is 512 - 2 = 510.References:IP Subnet Calculator,CIDR Calculator for IPv4 addresses,Free online IPv4 subnet calculator

OWE is a Wi-Fi technology that assists with data privacy on open networks by providing unauthenticated data encryption. OWE is based on the standard defined in RFC 8110, which specifies an extension to IEEE 802.11 that uses a cryptographic handshake to encrypt the devices connecting to open network access points. OWE reduces the risk of data exposure or theft when using an open Wi-Fi network, without adding complexity or scalability burdens. OWE is part of the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Enhanced Open™ program, which is a new certification for Wi-Fi devices that support this technology123 References:

Layer 2 encapsulation is the process of adding a header and a trailer to the data coming from the upper layer (Layer 3) before sending it over the physical medium. The header and the trailer contain information such as source and destination MAC addresses, error detection, and protocol type. The devices that perform Layer 2 encapsulation are usually switches, bridges, or network interface cards (NICs). In the given network diagram, the PC is sending a message to the server. The PC first adds a Layer 2 header and trailer to the data and sends it to Switch-1. Switch-1 performs Layer 2 encapsulation again before forwarding it to the router. The router operates at Layer 3 and does not perform Layer 2 encapsulation. It only removes the Layer 2 header and trailer, checks the destination IP address, and forwards the packet to the next hop. The packet then reaches Switch-2, where Layer 2 encapsulation occurs again before it is sent to the server. The server also performs Layer 2 de-encapsulation by removing the header and trailer and passing the data to the upper layer. Therefore, the devices that have performed Layer 2 encapsulation by the time the message arrives at the server are Switch-1 and Switch-2. References: Understanding Data Link Layer Encapsulation, How Data Encapsulation & De-encapsulation Works?, HDLC Protocol and Encapsulation method Explained
