3.  Match the PPP option with the correct description. (Not all options are used.)

Place the options in the following order: 
Compression -> Increases the effective throughput on PPP connections by reducing the amount of data in the frame that must travel across the link.

Refer to the exhibit. Based on the debug command output that is shown, which statement is true of the operation of PPP.

Both PAP and CHAP authentication were attempted.

13. During a PPP session establishment phase, which two messages are sent by the requested party if the options are not acceptable? (Choose two.)

Configure-Reject*
Code-Reject
Discard-Request
Configure-Nak*
Protocol-Reject

14. A network administrator is evaluating authentication protocols for a PPP link. Which three factors might lead to the selection of CHAP over PAP as the authentication protocol? (Choose three.)

uses an unpredictable variable challenge value to prevent playback attacks*
uses a three-way authentication periodically during the session to reconfirm identities*
transmits login information in encrypted format*
control by the remote host of the frequency and timing of login events
establishes identities with a two-way handshake
makes authorized network administrator intervention a requirement to establish each session

15. Match the steps to the PPP CHAP authentication process sequence. (Not all options are used.)

Place the options in the following order: 
Step 3 -> calculate the MD5 hash
Step 2 -> calculate the ID and random number
Step 4 -> send challenge ID, hash, and username
Step 1 -> use LCP to negotiate the type of authentication
– not scored – 
Step 5 -> calculate the hash based on received information
Step 6 -> compare the received hash with the calculated hash

16. What are three components of PPP? (Choose three.)

LCP*
multilink
NCP*
HDLC-like framing*
compression
authentication

17

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is configuring the PPP link between the two routers. However, the PPP link cannot be established. Based on the partial output of the show running-config command, what is the cause of the problem?​

Layer 3
Layer 4
Layer 2
Layer 1*

21. Match the phases of establishing a PPP session in the correct order. (Not all options are used.)

Place the options in the following order: 
Phase 3  -> negotiate with the network layer to configure L3 protocol
– not scored – 
Phase 1  -> establish the link and negotiate configuration options
Phase 2 -> determine the quality of the link

22. Which three physical layer interfaces support PPP? (Choose three.)

GigabitEthernet
asynchronous serial*
HSSI*

Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instructions and then answer the question.
Why is the serial link between router R1 and router R2 not operational?
