Step 1: Understanding MAC Address Table Lookup

When Host A sends a frame with MAC-B as the destination, SWA checks its MAC address table to determine the correct port to forward the frame.

According to the MAC table, MAC-B is associated with interface G0/0/2.

Step 2: Forwarding Behavior

Since SWA knows the destination MAC address and its associated interface, it will forward the frame only through G0/0/2.

Step 3: Analyzing the Answer Choices

Option A (Correct - Forwards only through G0/0/2): ✅

SWA correctly forwards the frame to G0/0/2, where HostB is connected.

Option B (Incorrect - Forwards through G0/0/3): ❌

MAC-B is not associated with G0/0/3, so the switch will not forward the frame there.

Option C (Incorrect - Floods the frame): ❌

Flooding occurs only when the MAC address is unknown, but in this case, MAC-B is known.

Option D (Incorrect - Discards the frame): ❌

The switch only discards frames if there’s a security violation or filtering rule, which is not mentioned here.

In PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) authentication, if the authentication fails, the authenticator sends an Authenticate-Reject message.

Option A (Incorrect - Authenticate-Ack): Sent when authentication is successful.

Option B (Incorrect - Authenticate-Reply): Not a valid PPP authentication message.

Option C (Correct - Authenticate-Reject): Sent when authentication fails, and the connection is rejected.

Option D (Incorrect - Authenticate-Nak): Used for PPP negotiation, not authentication failure.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

Advanced ACLs (3000-3999) allow filtering based on:

Source and Destination IPs

Protocol Number (C - Correct)

Destination Port Number (B - Correct)

Time-range (D - Correct)

A (Incorrect): ACLs do not filter based on the source interface, but rather on IPs, ports, and protocols.

Thus, the correct answer is A (Source Interface).

Statement A (False): Any router can function as an ASBR, not just ABRs. An ASBR is any router that connects OSPF to an external network, regardless of area.

Statement B (True): Area 0 is the OSPF backbone area, and all other areas must connect to it.

Statement C (True): Area partitioning reduces LSDB size by limiting the scope of LSAs within an area.

Statement D (True): Routers in the same area have the same LSDB, ensuring consistency in link-state information.

Thus, the correct answer is A (False statement).

NFV Overview:NFV replaces traditional hardware appliances with software-based solutions that can be deployed on virtualized infrastructure. This allows for flexible, cost-effective, and scalable network application deployment​​.

In one-arm routing (or router-on-a-stick) mode, a single physical link (with sub-interfaces) can carry traffic between multiple VLANs, reducing the number of physical links required. This approach minimizes cabling and port usage while still enabling inter-VLAN communication. However, it does not inherently reduce IP address usage, routing table entries, or the number of devices required​.

Tracert (Traceroute) works by sending packets with progressively higher TTL (Time-to-Live) values, causing them to expire at each router along the path. When TTL expires, the router sends back an ICMP "Time Exceeded" message, which includes the source IP address of that router. This allows Tracert to record the IP addresses of each router on the path to the destination​.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) packets are exchanged only on ports in Blocking, Listening, and Learning states.

Ports in Forwarding state DO NOT receive BPDU packets (BPDUs are only processed by non-designated ports).

If a forwarding port starts receiving BPDUs, it goes back to Listening state to re-evaluate STP topology.

✅ Reference: HCIA-Datacom Switching Guide – STP Port States

Switch (A): A network switch is a fundamental device used to connect devices in a local area network (LAN) and forward packets based on MAC addresses.

Firewall (B): A firewall is used to filter and protect the network from unauthorized access and threats.

Router (D): A router is essential for forwarding packets between different networks and managing routing.

Agile Controller (C): This is a network automation and management tool rather than a fundamental networking device. Since it is not typically deployed as a core network device, option C is the correct answer.
