An app on a user's computer is having problems downloading data. The app uses the following URL to download data:
[Link]
You need to use Wireshark to capture packets sent to and received from that URL. Which Wireshark filter options would you use to filter the results? Complete the
command
by selecting the correct option from each drop-down list. Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct selection.
A. Mastered
B. Not Mastered
Answer: A
Explanation:
To capture packets sent to and received from the
URL[Link] Wireshark, you would use the following filter options:
? Protocol:tcp
? Filter Type:port
? Port Number:7100
This filter setup in Wireshark will display all TCP packets that are sent to or received from port 7100, which is the port specified in the URL for the API service.
Since HTTPS typically uses TCP as the transport layer protocol, filtering by TCP and the specific port number will help isolate the relevant packets for
troubleshooting the app??s data download issues.
? cp: The app is using HTTPS, which relies on the TCP protocol for communication.
? port: The specific port number used by the application, which in this case is 7100.
? 7100: This is the port specified in the URL ([Link] This filter will capture all TCP traffic on port 7100, allowing you to analyze the
packets related to the application's data download.

NEW QUESTION 7
In the network shown in the following graphic, Switch1 is a Layer 2 switch.
PC-A sends a frame to PC-C. Switch1 does not have a mapping entry for the MAC address of PC-C. Which action does Switch1 take?
Answer: B
Explanation:
In a network, when a Layer 2 switch (like Switch1) receives a frame destined for a MAC address that is not in its MAC address table, it performs a flooding
operation. This means the switch will send the frame out of all ports except the port on which the frame was received. This flooding ensures that if the destination
device is connected to one of the other ports, it will receive the frame and respond, allowing the switch to learn its MAC address.
? A. Switch1 queries Switch2 for the MAC address of PC-C: This does not happen in
Layer 2 switches; they do not query other switches for MAC addresses.
? A. Switch1 drops the frame and sends an error message back to PC-A: This is not the default behavior for unknown unicast frames.
? D. Switch1 sends an ARP request to obtain the MAC address of PC-C: ARP is used by devices to map IP addresses to MAC addresses, not by switches to find
unknown MAC addresses.
Thus, the correct answer is B. Switch1 floods the frame out all active ports except port G0/1.

NEW QUESTION 9
Which two statements are true about the IPv4 address of the default gateway configured on a host? (Choose 2.)
Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct selection.
A. The IPv4 address of the default gateway must be the first host address in the subnet.
B. The same default gateway IPv4 address is configured on each host on the local network.
C. The default gateway is the Loopback0 interface IPv4 address of the router connected to the same local network as the host.
D. The default gateway is the IPv4 address of the router interface connected to the same local network as the host.
E. Hosts learn the default gateway IPv4 address through router advertisement messages.
Answer: BD
Explanation:
•Statement B: "The same default gateway IPv4 address is configured on each host on the local network." This is true because all hosts on the same local network
(subnet) use the same default gateway IP address to send packets destined for other networks.
•Statement D: "The default gateway is the IPv4 address of the router interface connected to the same local network as the host." This is true because the default
gateway is the IP address of the router's interface that is directly connected to the local network.
•Statement A: "The IPv4 address of the default gateway must be the first host address in the subnet." This is not necessarily true. The default gateway can be any
address within the subnet range.
•Statement C: "The default gateway is the Loopback0 interface IPv4 address of the router connected to the same local network as the host." This is not true; the
default gateway is the IP address of the router's physical or logical interface connected to the local network.
•Statement E: "Hosts learn the default gateway IPv4 address through router advertisement messages." This is generally true for IPv6 with Router Advertisement
(RA) messages, but not typically how IPv4 hosts learn the default gateway address.

the tickets:
? Ticket 1: Relocation of a printer, while necessary, is not urgent and does not
impact critical operations.
? Ticket 2: An ongoing webinar losing internet access is critical, especially if the webinar is time-sensitive and involves multiple participants.
? Ticket 3: Slower response time for a cloud-based application is important but typically not as urgent as a complete loss of internet access for a live event.
? Ticket 4: Wireless access down in the cafeteria affects users but does not have the same immediate impact as a live webinar losing connectivity.
Thus, the correct answer is B. Ticket 2: An online webinar is taking place in the conference
room. The video conferencing equipment lost internet access.
