65. [RxNx] Which one of the following is true concerning IPX load balancing?
a) Activated by default
b) Must be configured
c) IPX does not load balance
d) Requires a Novell File Server
e) None of the above
Answer
b) Must be configured
IPX load balances when configured, the command to use is ipx maximum-paths. So if you have equal cost paths to a destination, the default is the router will choose the first path it receives, unlike Cisco’s implementation of IP RIP that will use up to 4 equal cost paths
66. [BxNx] What is the purpose of spanning tree?
a) Prevents bridging loops
b) Prevents routing loops
c) Cisco supported feature that can be used per VLAN
d) Can be initiated on any routed interface
e) All of the above
Answer
a) Prevents bridging loops
c) Cisco supported feature that can be used per VLAN
Transparent bridging requires that only one way exists through the bridge circuit to prevent routing loops. Also Cisco switching supports spanning tree an a per VLAN basis. This is done by placing selected ports in a blocking mode. Remember that a bridge either forwards a packet or filters a packet based on it’s mac address.
