customer approval to proceed.
Because the customer is probably aware that the budget limitations will require lower cost,
less capable equipment, the account manager should do nothing.

The router needs a routing protocol configured.
The router needs additional Fast Ethernet interfaces installed.

Refer to the exhibit. A NetworkingCompany designer is reviewing a diagram of a customer
network. What two risks or issues can be identified in the topology that is shown?
The firewall router and ISP connection represent a single point of failure.
A failure of the switch that connects the Cisco Call Manager to the network will cause the
entire IP telephony system to fail.
Using Layer 3 switches to interconnect the data center servers to the IP phones introduces too
much delay.
The IP phones need to be redundantly connected to the switches to prevent single points of
failure at the access layer.
If one of the Layer 3 switches fails, the Cisco Call Manager will be unreachable.

The TFTP server and the router must be on different networks for the transfer.
The TFTP server software must be the same version as the Cisco IOS software.
When should a network designer specify that a dedicated firewall appliance be used at the
perimeter of the network rather than a router with a Cisco IOS software-based firewall feature
set?
There are multiple servers in the DMZ.
The network is large in size and network traffic can overload the device.
Traffic filtering is needed on the internal network.
Multiple levels of access to the network are needed.
