Cisco was approached by the Minister of the Education Department, to start an experiment in one of the public school districts since the government passed a Bill that all schools are to comply with the Safe Schools Initiative.
The situation at the schools in this district is as follows:
The district has approximately 3000 students dispersed in the following manner:
- one high school, one junior high school and three grade schools.
All the phone calls to these schools are switched by a local telephone company's centrex switch after which it is routed to the appropriate school.
The schools are all fitted with fractional T1 Frame Relay and Cisco routers for networking purposes. The users are on a switched 10/1/100 network utilizing Cisco switched and Category 5 cable. The high school has the Internet access through an Internet Service Provider which resides 35 miles away via a T1 Frame Relay. This internet connection is shared with the other schools in the district.
Due to the Safe Schools Initiative, phones need to be put in each classroom. Though the costs are astronomical and there are no facilities, the schools would also want to install video in each school for video conferencing purposes and it will be a definite aid in distance learning for the high school. ISDN PRI LINKS will be used to connect the video partners.
In addition to the above, there is also the student
information; that is stored on the
local servers and shared between the schools as learners graduate from elementary to junior high to high school as well as transfers in and out of the district; that has to be protected.
Why would you, the network administrator at Cisco , suggest IP telephony to this particular customer? (Choose all that apply.)

• A. Eliminate reliance on local provider for any future phone calls.
• B. The cost of adding additional telephones is minimal.
• C. All of the above.
• D. Reduction of long distance charges by using VoIP.
• E. Voice, video and data run on the same physical media, namely, Cat5 cable.

Your newly appointed Cisco trainee wants to know which of the following you would describe as characteristics of CDP.
What will your reply be? (Choose two.)

• A. It reports on directly connected Cisco devices like routers, bridges, switches and access servers
• B. It uses RMON to gather utilization statistics
• C. It does not use UTP protocol
• D. It supports any SNMP device
• E. It uses the UDP protocol
• F. It is media and protocol independent

Cisco requires its network to connect at higher data rate. The Cisco networks are located in deferent buildings with clear line of site. Which technology represents a solution to this need?

• A. Cellar Wireless
• B. Wireless LAN
• C. ISDN
• D. Mobile IP
• E. Broadband fixed Wireless

Study the exhibit below carefully:

Above is a converged voice and data network. This network is designed to carry voice calls on-net as close a possible to the destination to reduce long distance charges.
Why is it that a VoIP call can go off-net earlier than designed? (Choose two)

• A. The telephone user dials an access code.
• B. The local voice gateway detects lack of bandwidth.
• C. The local call manager server is too busy to process the call.
• D. The destination routing is not configured on both local and remote gateways.

This is a *Testlet* - it contains 3 questions that relate to the scenario below (3 of 3):
Cisco is a call center consulting company that has a large call center of its own. Cisco has been to busy with new business that the company has not moved toward IP telephony, even while encouraging it for clients. The company has a basic TDM network and wants to move toward a converged voice and data network.
When consulting with the decision makers, you find that they know that a packet-switched network is a better solution but they cannot explain why.

Which are three independent layers of a converged packet-switches network?
(Choose three)

• A. Open connection control
• B. Open call control
• C. Open service application
• D. Standards-based packet infrastructure
• E. Common channel signaling complex
• F. Digital trunk subsystem
