Which of the following devices run exclusively at the Physical layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model? (Choose all that apply.)

Which of the following devices enables two computers to communicate when they are using different protocols at each layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model?

Which of the following best describes the function of a firewall?

Which of the following terms is used to describe the method by which a firewall examines the port numbers in Transport layer protocol headers?

Which of the following physical network devices can conceivably be implemented as software in a computer's operating system? (Choose all that apply.)

Which of the following criteria does a firewall capable of service-dependent filtering use to block traffic?

Ralph is a freelance network consultant installing a three-node small business network. The computers are all in the same room and use wired Ethernet to connect to the switched ports of a multifunction device. The device also functions as a network address translation (NAT) router for a cable modem connection to the Internet. NAT provides a measure of security, but Ralph wants to be sure that the network is protected from unauthorized Internet traffic and attacks against open ports. Which of the following solutions would enable Ralph to accomplish this goal with the minimum cost to the client?

Which of the following statements about hubs and switches are true? (Choose all that apply.)

Which of the following devices perform essentially the same function? (Choose two.)

Which of the following switch types immediately forwards frames after looking at only the destination address?

Which of the following is something that only a firewall capable of stateful packet inspection can do?
