49. What are two characteristics of Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)? (Choose two.)
- When a packet arrives on a router interface, it is forwarded to the control plane where the CPU searches for a match in the fast-switching cache.
- This is the fastest forwarding mechanism on Cisco routers and multilayer switches.
- With this switching method, flow information for a packet is stored in the fast-switching cache to forward future packets to the same destination without CPU intervention.
- When a packet arrives on a router interface, it is forwarded to the control plane where the CPU matches the destination address with a matching routing table entry.
- Packets are forwarded based on information in the FIB and an adjacency table.
50. A network administrator of a college is configuring WLAN security with WPA2 Enterprise authentication. Which server is required when deploying this type of authentication?

- Only one of the two bands would work at a time.
- Users will not be able to use the WLAN.
- Old 802.11 standards may not be supported anymore.
52. A network administrator is configuring a WLC to provide WLAN access to users in an office building. When testing the newly created WLAN, the administrator does not see the SSID from a wireless device. What is a possible cause?
- The WLAN security setting is incorrect.
- The APs have not been configured for the new WLAN.
- The new WLAN needs to be enabled.
- The RADUIS server is not operational.
53. What is the best way to prevent a VLAN hopping attack?
- Disable trunk negotiation for trunk ports and statically set nontrunk ports as access ports.
- Disable STP on all nontrunk ports.
- Use VLAN 1 as the native VLAN on trunk ports.
- Use ISL encapsulation on all trunk links.

The clients are not receiving IP parameters from the DHCPv4 server. What is a possible cause?
- The IP address is incorrect for the subnet mask that is used.
- The pool cannot be named ‘RELAY’.
- The ip helper-address command is missing.
- The router is configured as a DHCPv4 client.
55. Consider the following command:
