   • a dialup connection that is supplied by their local telephone service provider
   • Virtual Private Networks that would enable the company to connect easily and securely with employees
   • private dedicated lines through their local service provider
   • a broadband service, such as DSL, through their local service provider

2. Which network scenario will require the use of a WAN?

   • Employee workstations need to obtain dynamically assigned IP addresses.
   • Employees need to connect to the corporate email server through a VPN while traveling.
   • Employees in the branch office need to share files with the headquarters office that is located in a separate building on the same campus network.
   • Employees need to access web pages that are hosted on the corporate web servers in the DMZ within their building.

3. Which two devices are needed when a digital leased line is used to provide a connection between the customer and the service provider? (Choose two.)

5. What is a requirement of a connectionless packet-switched network?

   • Each packet has to carry only an identifier.
   • The network predetermines the route for a packet.
   • Full addressing information must be carried in each data packet.
   • A virtual circuit is created for the duration of the packet delivery.
