Answer: B
Explanation: A demarc (also known as a “demarcation point” or a “demarc extension”) is the
point in a telephone network where the maintenance responsibility passes from a telephone
company to the subscriber (unless the subscriber has purchased inside wiring maintenance). The
demarc is typically located in a box mounted to the outside of a customer’s building (for
example, a residential home).

22) Which ISDN endpoint is a device (such as an ISDN phone) that natively supports ISDN?
A) R reference point
B) U reference point
C) Terminal endpoint 1 (TE1)

23) Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) is a Cisco technology that automates the creation of
VPN connections in a WAN topology. In what type of WAN topology is DMVPN most
commonly used?
A) Point to point
B) Ring
C) Full mesh
D) Hub and spoke

Explanation: A popular method of implementation for overlay networks today is the Dynamic
Multipoint VPN (DMVPN). This Cisco invention has the ability to automate the creation of VPN
connections in a WAN topology. While DMVPN can technically be used in any layout, it is most
often seen implemented with the popular hub-and-spoke (partial mesh) WAN topology.

Explanation: A SIP trunk allows Internet telephony service providers (ITSPs) to deliver
telephone services and unified communications to customers equipped with SIP-based private
branch exchange (IP-PBX) and unified communications facilities. Most unified communications
applications offer voice, video, and other streaming media applications such as desktop sharing,
web conferencing, and shared whiteboard technologies.
