Which statement describes the process of escalating a help desk trouble ticket?
The help desk technican resolves the customer problem over the phone and closes the trouble ticket.
Remote desktop utilities enable the help desk technician to fix a configuration error and close the trouble ticket.
After trying unsuccessfully to fix a problem, the help desk technician sends the trouble ticket to the onsite support staff.
When the problem is solved, all information is recorded on the trouble ticket for future reference.
What are two functions of the physical layer of the OSI model? (Choose two.)
adding the hardware address
converting data to bits
encapsulating data into frames
signal generation
routing packets
A customer calls the ISP help desk after setting up a new PC with a cable modem but being unable to access the Internet. After the help desk technician has verified Layer 1 and Layer 2, what are three questions the help desk technician should ask the customer? (Choose three.)
What is your subnet mask?
Can you ping the default gateway?
Is the network cable properly attached to the cable modem?
Is the network cable correctly connected to the network port on the PC?
Which scenario represents a problem at Layer 4 of the OSI model?
An incorrect IP address on the default gateway.
A bad subnet mask in the host IP configuration.
A firewall filtering traffic addressed to TCP port 25 on an email server.
An incorrect DNS server address being given out by DHCP.
What are two basic procedures of incident management? (Choose two.)
opening a trouble ticket
using diagnostic tools to identify the problem

Do you have a firewall that is configured on your PC?
Do you have a link light on your network card?
Is your PC configured to obtain addressing information using DHCP?
What default gateway address is configured in your TCP/IP settings?
Can you ping http://www.cisco.com?
An ISP help desk technician receives a call from a customer who reports that no one at their business can reach any websites, or get their e-mail. After testing the communication line and finding everything fine, the technician instructs the customer to run nslookup from the command prompt. What does the technician suspect is causing the customer's problem?
improper IP address configuration on the host
hardware failure of the ISR used to connect the customer to the ISP
bad cables or connections at the customer site
failure of DNS to resolve names to IP addresses
Which layers of the OSI model are commonly referred to as the upper layers?
application, presentation, session
application, session, network
presentation, transport, network
presentation, network, data link
session, transport, network
Refer to the exhibit. Host A is unable to communicate with any other hosts. On this network is a DHCP server that is responsible for assigning addresses to hosts. Based on the output of the ipconfig command on host A, what is the most likely cause of the problem?
The host did not get addressing configuration from the DHCP server.
The DNS server could not be reached.
The default gateway interface is down.
The IP address is a public address and should be private
