When reading the story, you know that the code has been created by humans, so it might actually be english and use concepts like our number system, our computer code system (I'm thinking ASCII), things that you should not assume when decoding a real alien message.

Looking at the numbers I notice that digits 6 to 9 do not occur in the message, which is statistically unexpected. This leads me to believe the number base might be 6 rather than our common base 10. In the story there are insects mentioned. Insects have 6 legs, so this makes sense (after all, our base 10 was based on the number of fingers).

Next, I notice the code 052 appearing regularly, so that could be a space. Let's check a hypothesis. 052 in base 6 is 5*6+2 = 32. 32 is the ASCII code for a space!!

Now, a decoding algorithm is ready to be devised:

"for each number in the sequence, parse it as a base-6 number and then print out its corresponding ASCII value".

The following node.js snippet does this:

var code = ['220','241','255','245','052','313',

           '311','052','312','303','052','312',

           '252','245','052','205','241','251',

           '253','243','052','203','253','302',

           '251','244','303','301','053'];

           

var msg = "";

for (let n of code) {

   msg += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(n,6));

}

console.log(msg);


And the message is.........:

<em>Take us to the Magic Kingdom!</em>

So, do these aliens want to visit Disneyland????

You are configuring a switch that has three hosts attached to FastEthernet 0/2 through 0/4. All three hosts are part of a public
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Port security and violation mode.

Explanation:

A switch is a layer two device of the OSI model. It is used to transmit frames between nodes within a network. It transfers frames by discovering the destination Mac address and saving it to its address table, and sending the frame to the egest port to the destination.

The port security command is used to specify the Mac addresses that are recognised by a port. There are three types of port security, they are, dynamic, static and sticky Mac addresses that can configured on an interface.

The security violation command is used to decide what happens to a port when it detects an unfamiliar Mac address. The three security violation modes are protect, restrict and shutdown. It is used as an interface command alongside the port security command.
