by: Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933

To help you in your preparation for your Cisco CCNA, CCENT, and CCNP exams, here are some free practice questions covering everything from OSPF to route redistribution. And for you Network+ and Security+ certification candidates, there are questions for you as well on the OSI model and SYN attacks. I'll be adding A+ certification questions in future articles.

Let's get started!

CCENT / Network+ Certification:

Does Layer 2 of the OSI model perform error detection, error correction, both, or neither?

Answer: The Data Link layer is capable of error detection, but not error correction.


Security+ Certification:
