Looks like I caught most of you out with this one. A global unicast Address can begin with either a 2 or a 3

At first glance this means there are 2 possible answers... But how many spotted the sneaky triple ::: in option 3? Format still counts.

Correct answer

Didn't answer this yesterday but the correct answer was

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

With PoE, Devices such as VoIP phones, Wireless AP or some Raspberry Pis don't require a separate power supply. Which can save space, clutter and cost.

A fun question, but by default a device that does not perform ARP is a Switch (layer2).
People get this one confused because switches facilitate ARPs by forwarding the requests, but doesn't populate its ARP table In the process as it is not the source.

This one is trickier than you might think. The correct answer is
POST.

Most may assume the answer is GET as a means to retrieve the token.
But actually you Post your credentials the response gives you the required token.

The answer is Management Plane

Data plane deals with traffic as it traverses the network.
Control plane handles processes destined for the network device.

@_ChrisJHart has a great post on it. tinyurl.com/yd8dtzs7
Understanding the Data, Control, and Management Planes of Network Devices | Christopher Hart
While troubleshooting connectivity issues and packet loss in computer networks, network engineers often misunderstand the difference between the data plane and control plane. This can lead to faulty troubleshooting, as network engineers might attempt to correlate data plane connectivity issues with control plane connectivity issues. In this post, we will investigate the concepts of the data, control, and management plane and explore the differences between them through practical examples.

This was close,
Wrong first,
User exec mode ">" is the level to enter enable command
Authentication was successful that why you see the prompt.
There was no indication of missing secret.

When you are not authorised command can be return unrecognised

Well done to those who git this. The correct answer was

Staff training is the best option here, while some options are improvements in themselves none of them directly impact the issue.

#YesterdaysCCNAQuestion

Well done if you got this because most people forget that a default gateway is required on a switch in order for it to be managed remotely.
It presents in a really interesting instance. Where the SSH traffic is received but can't be returned.

The answer is no.
Read only communities are not required in SNMP v3.

SNMPv3 is a good bit different from it's predecessor. You configure a user, auth pass, a priv pass and then a host.

The correct answer is that TFTP will work over the local network only.
It uses port 69, not 20 & 21.
Is less reliable and doesn't utilise secure channels.

#YesterdaysCCNAQuestion

The configuration would not need to be configured on the switch access port.

The helper address only needs to be configured on the gateway.

#YesterdaysCCNAQuestion

Correct answer was

Nslookup

Name server lookup
While ipconfig /displaydns typically shows the same information this is actually cached locally on your machine, and can actually be out of date depending on the timeout of the entry.

The answer is Outside Global

Depending the NAT situation with the outside. This can sometimes also be the same as Outside Local it basically depends on the overall "visibility" of the address.
