Which protocol is used by IPv6 devices to detect duplicate addresses before using them?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> DHCP<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ARP<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Duplicate Address Detection<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> SMTP<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3. Duplicate Address Detection<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duplicate Address Detection, or DAD, is an IPv6 Neighbor Discovery function used to determine whether an IPv6 address is already in use on the local network. Before assigning an address to an interface, an IPv6 host can send a Neighbor Solicitation message to check for another device using the same address. This helps prevent address conflicts. IPv6 does not use ARP for this function. DHCP may provide configuration, while SMTP is associated with email transmission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 382. Which device separates broadcast domains by default?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hub<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Router<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Repeater<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Layer 1 media converter<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2. Router<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A router separates broadcast domains because broadcast traffic received on one routed interface is not normally forwarded to another routed interface. Each routed interface represents a different Layer 3 network. Hubs and repeaters operate at lower layers and do not create separate broadcast domains. Layer 2 switches also normally form a single broadcast domain per VLAN unless VLAN segmentation is configured. Therefore, a router is the device traditionally used to separate broadcast domains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 383.

Depending on the options used, it can show IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, DNS-related information, and DHCP details. It is commonly used during network troubleshooting to verify whether a host has received the expected configuration. Other commands may perform different administrative functions, but <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ipconfig<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the standard Windows command for viewing basic IP configuration information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 384. Which IPv4 address class traditionally contains addresses beginning with values from 1 through 126 in the first octet?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Class D<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Class C<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Class A<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Class B<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3. Class A<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the historical classful IPv4 addressing system, Class A addresses used first-octet values from 1 through 126. Class B traditionally covered 128 through 191, Class C covered 192 through 223, and Class D was reserved for multicast. Although modern IPv4 networks use CIDR rather than relying on these historical classes for routing, the classful categories remain relevant when studying networking fundamentals. Therefore, the traditional Class A range begins with first-octet values from 1 through 126.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 385. What is the main purpose of a DNS A record?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Map a hostname to an IPv4 address<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Map an IPv6 address to a hostname<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Identify a mail server<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Specify a VLAN ID<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1. Map a hostname to an IPv4 address<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A DNS A record associates a hostname with an IPv4 address. When a client queries DNS for a hostname that has an A record, the DNS response can provide the corresponding IPv4 address so the client can establish communication. An AAAA record is used for IPv6 addresses, while MX records identify mail-exchange servers. VLAN IDs are unrelated to DNS records. Therefore, the A record is specifically used to map a hostname to an IPv4 address.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 386.

RADIUS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RADIUS, or Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, provides centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting capabilities. It is commonly used for network access services such as wireless authentication, VPN access, and administrative login environments. A centralized authentication server can validate user credentials and return authorization information to the requesting network device. ARP handles IPv4 address resolution, ICMP provides network control messages, and TFTP provides simple file transfer. Therefore, RADIUS is the protocol associated with centralized AAA services in many network environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 387.

These addresses are intended for communication on the local network link and are not routed beyond that link. They are important for Neighbor Discovery and other local IPv6 operations. The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2000::\/3<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> range is associated with global unicast addressing, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FF00::\/8<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the multicast range, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FC00::\/7<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is associated with unique local addresses. Therefore, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FE80::\/10<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the correct prefix for IPv6 link-local addresses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 388. Which feature allows a network administrator to prioritize certain types of traffic over less time-sensitive traffic?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> QoS<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> NAT<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ARP<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> DHCP<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1. QoS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality of Service, or QoS, provides mechanisms for classifying, prioritizing, queuing, and managing network traffic. It can be especially useful for applications such as voice and video that are sensitive to delay, jitter, and packet loss. QoS policies can prioritize important traffic when network resources are congested. NAT translates addresses, ARP performs IPv4-to-MAC resolution, and DHCP provides host configuration. Therefore, QoS is the technology used to manage traffic priority and improve predictable application performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 389. Which IPv4 prefix represents a network containing 16 addresses?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/24<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/30<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/28<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/27<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/28<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An IPv4 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/28<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> network contains 16 total addresses because there are 4 host bits remaining, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2^4 = 16<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In a traditional subnet, some addresses are reserved for the network and broadcast addresses, leaving 14 normally usable host addresses. A <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/30<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contains 4 total addresses, a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/27<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contains 32, and a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/24<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contains 256.

LLDP<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LLDP, or Link Layer Discovery Protocol, allows network devices to advertise and learn information about directly connected neighbors. It can provide details such as device identity, port information, system capabilities, and management information. This is useful for documenting topology and troubleshooting physical connections. Because LLDP is a standards-based protocol, it can operate between devices from different vendors when both support it. SMTP, FTP, and POP3 are application-layer protocols unrelated to Layer 2 neighbor discovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 391. What happens when a router receives a packet whose destination matches no specific routing-table entry and no default route exists?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It forwards the packet to every interface<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It normally discards the packet<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It converts the packet to a broadcast<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It sends it to the DNS server<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2. It normally discards the packet<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a router cannot find a matching route for a packet&#8217;s destination and there is no default route available, it normally has no valid forwarding path. The router therefore discards the packet. Depending on the circumstances and configuration, it may send an ICMP Destination Unreachable message back toward the source. A router does not normally broadcast an unroutable packet through all interfaces or forward it to a DNS server. Understanding this behavior is useful when diagnosing missing routes and connectivity failures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 392. Which protocol is commonly used to provide secure web communication?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> HTTP<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> HTTPS<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> TFTP<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Telnet<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2. HTTPS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HTTPS is HTTP carried over a secure TLS connection. It provides encryption and helps protect the confidentiality and integrity of information exchanged between a client and web server. It can also provide authentication of the server through digital certificates. Plain HTTP does not provide the same transport encryption. TFTP is a simple file-transfer protocol, while Telnet provides remote terminal access without modern encrypted-session protections. Therefore, HTTPS is the standard protocol used for secure web communication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 393. Which network metric represents the variation in packet delay over time?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Bandwidth<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Throughput<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Jitter<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> MTU<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3. Jitter<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jitter describes variation in packet delay over time. It is particularly important for real-time applications such as voice and video because inconsistent packet arrival times can negatively affect playback and conversation quality. Bandwidth represents the capacity of a link, throughput represents the actual rate of successful data transfer, and MTU represents the maximum transmission unit size. Therefore, jitter is the network performance metric associated with variation in packet delay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 394. Which Ethernet frame size is the standard maximum payload size for a normal Ethernet frame without considering additional jumbo-frame configurations?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 64 bytes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1518 bytes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 9000 bytes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1500 bytes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4. 1500 bytes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The standard Ethernet Maximum Transmission Unit, or MTU, for an IP payload is commonly 1500 bytes. The complete standard Ethernet frame can be up to 1518 bytes when the Ethernet header and Frame Check Sequence are included, excluding certain additional tagging considerations. Jumbo frames can support larger payloads, such as around 9000 bytes, when supported throughout the network path. The 64-byte value represents the minimum Ethernet frame size rather than the standard maximum IP payload.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 395.

TFTP<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TFTP, or Trivial File Transfer Protocol, provides a simple file-transfer mechanism using UDP. It has fewer features and less overhead than protocols such as FTP and SFTP and does not provide built-in encryption. TFTP has historically been used for tasks such as transferring network-device configurations or boot images in controlled environments. HTTPS provides secure web communication, SSH provides secure remote access, and IMAP is used for email retrieval. Therefore, TFTP is the protocol associated with simple connectionless file transfers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 396.

For example, guest systems, employee workstations, servers, and management devices can be placed into different segments and controlled with routing or firewall policies. Segmentation can reduce unnecessary communication and limit the scope of security incidents. Port mirroring is used for traffic analysis, while address resolution maps network-layer addresses to link-layer addresses. Therefore, segmentation is the appropriate concept.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 397.

Email clients commonly use SMTP when submitting outgoing messages to a mail service. IMAP and POP3 are primarily associated with retrieving email from mail servers, while DNS provides name-resolution services and can help locate mail servers through MX records. Therefore, SMTP is the protocol responsible for email transmission rather than mailbox retrieval.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 398.

A <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/27<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides 30 usable hosts, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/28<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides 14, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/29<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides 6. Therefore, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/26<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">255.255.255.192<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, provides 62 usable addresses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 399.

SSH<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SSH, or Secure Shell, provides encrypted remote terminal access to network devices and servers. It protects authentication credentials and session data during remote administration. Telnet provides similar terminal functionality but lacks the encryption expected for secure management. TFTP provides simple file transfers, while DHCP provides automatic network configuration. For secure remote command-line management, SSH is therefore the appropriate protocol. Network administrators commonly use SSH to configure and troubleshoot routers, switches, servers, and other infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question: 400.

Controlled change testing<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Controlled change testing involves modifying one relevant variable at a time and then observing the result. This approach makes it easier to determine which change affected the problem and reduces the risk of introducing multiple unknown factors simultaneously. It is especially useful when troubleshooting configuration issues involving interfaces, VLANs, routing, security policies, or services. Layered troubleshooting is also valuable, but it describes progressing through network layers or functional areas rather than specifically changing one variable at a time. Controlled testing provides clearer cause-and-effect evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; View Full HP HPE6-A90 Exam Dumps and Practice Test Dumps &nbsp; Question: 381.
