[All SSCP Questions]

Which of the following was designed to support multiple network types over the same serial link?

AEthernet

BSLIP

CPPP

DPPTP

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) was designed to support multiple network types over the same serial link, just as Ethernet supports multiple network types over the same LAN. PPP replaces the earlier Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) that only supports IP over a serial link. PPTP is a tunneling protocol.

Ethernet can't do that, right? Just checking!

I thought PPTP was for VPNs, not serial links?

Wait, isn't SLIP also for serial links?

I feel like I saw something about Ethernet not being the right choice for this type of question. PPP seems to fit better.

I remember practicing a question about SLIP and PPP, and I think PPP was the right answer for supporting multiple protocols.

I think PPP is the one that supports multiple network types, but I'm not completely sure.

I'm a bit confused between PPP and PPTP. I know PPTP is more about tunneling, but did it also support multiple types?

I've got it! The settings to modify are removing the HTTP compression profile and modifying the virtual server type to performance. That should reduce the load on the LTM device without impacting the application.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read each option and compare it to my understanding of WSDL to make the right choice.

Okay, I've got this. The unmitigated risk is the risk before any mitigation activities are taken, the known risk is the risk that's been identified, and the mitigated risk is the risk that's been reduced through mitigation efforts. I'll select A for this one.
