[Device Configuration and Verification]
Which two settings are standard Cisco console connections when configuring a terminal emulator to connect to the console port of a Cisco switch? (Choose two.)
When configuring a terminal emulator (such as PuTTY, Tera Term, or HyperTerminal) to connect to the console port of a Cisco switch, the standard settings are as follows:
Speed (baud rate): 9600
This is the default transmission speed for Cisco console ports, ensuring compatibility across various devices.
Data bits: 8
This setting specifies that each character transmitted consists of 8 data bits, which is standard for most serial communications.
Parity: None No parity bit is used, meaning there is no additional error-checking bit appended to each character.Wikipedia
Parity: None No parity bit is used, meaning there is no additional error-checking bit appended to each character.Wikipedia
Stop bits: 1
One stop bit indicates the end of a character transmission.
Flow control: None
No flow control is employed, allowing continuous data transmission without hardware or software-based pausing.
Therefore, options C (Speed: 9600) and D (Data bits: 8) are correct. Options A (Stop bits: 2), B (Flow control: Hardware), and E (Parity: Even) deviate from the standard settings and may result in communication issues if configured.

What is the primary advantage of installing and deploying Cisco UCS E-Series servers in branch office routers?
Cisco UCS E-Series servers are integrated, blade-style compute modules that can be installed inside Cisco ISR (Integrated Services Routers). Their primary advantage is to provide local compute resources in branch offices without needing a full data center environment.
This enables:
Hosting of virtual machines or applications locally
Reduced latency for edge computing
Lowered dependency on central data center resources
These servers are ideal for running branch-office workloads, virtualization, or edge analytics, allowing enterprises to deploy scalable compute capabilities closer to the data source.

Which hardware platform is Cisco Unified Communications Manager typically deployed on?
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) is typically deployed on Cisco UCS C-Series servers. These rack-mount servers provide the necessary computing resources to support CUCM's call control and session management functions in enterprise environments. The UCS C-Series servers offer scalability, reliability, and integration capabilities essential for unified communications deployments.
Options A (Cisco ASR routers), B (Cisco Catalyst switches), and C (Cisco ISR routers) are networking devices designed for routing and switching functions and are not intended as platforms for deploying CUCM.
[Cisco IOS Software Basics]
Which operating system powers the Cisco Nexus series of switches and is optimized for modern data center deployments?
Cisco NX-OS is the operating system specifically developed for Cisco Nexus series switches, which are widely used in modern data centers. NX-OS is optimized for scalability, high availability, and virtualization features.
It differs from IOS and IOS XE (used in traditional routers and switches) and IOS XR (used in carrier-grade platforms). NX-OS includes advanced features such as Virtual Port Channels (vPC), FabricPath, and integrated Layer 2/3 capabilities tailored for data center networks.

Which two devices are most commonly used in a WAN environment? (Choose two.)
In the context of Wide Area Networks (WANs), the key objective is to connect geographically separated networks using service provider infrastructure. The FLDTEC course emphasizes that WAN environments typically involve devices that can handle different physical transmission mediums and protocols.
Modems:
Modulate and demodulate analog signals to digital signals.
Used in WAN environments to connect over analog lines like DSL or leased lines.
Essential for interfacing between digital routers and analog telephone networks.
Optical Fiber Converters:
Also known as media converters, they are used to convert electrical signals to optical signals (and vice versa) for fiber transmission.
Common in WAN scenarios where long-distance high-speed transmission over fiber is required.
Incorrect Options:
A . Hubs: Obsolete Layer 1 devices used in LANs, not suitable for WANs.
D . Network Interface Cards (NICs): Used in end devices for LAN connectivity.
E . Wireless Access Points: Typically used in WLANs within local premises, not WAN infrastructure.
This aligns with Cisco's WAN architecture fundamentals as highlighted in FLDTEC under ''Cisco Equipment and Related Hardware.''
