H1 sends a broadcast
message to H2, and the hub forwards it to all devices.

message to H2, and the hub forwards it directly to H2.

4. What does the 100 mean
when referencing the 100BASE-T Ethernet standard?
type of cable used
|
|
type of data
transmission
|
|
speed of
transmission
|
|
type of connector
required
|
|
maximum length of
cable allowed
|
5. Which address does
an NIC use when deciding whether to accept a frame?
source IP address
|
|
source MAC address
|
|
destination IP
address
|
|
destination MAC
address
|
|
source Ethernet
address
|
6. Which type of
address is used in an Ethernet frame header?
logical addresses
only
|
|
IP addresses only
|
|
MAC addresses only
|
|
broadcast addresses
only
|
7. What is the
function of the FCS field in an Ethernet frame?
detects transmission
errors
|
|
provides timing for
transmission
|
|
contains the start
of frame delimiter
|
|
indicates which
protocol will receive the frame
|
8. What is the purpose
of logical addresses in an IP network?
They identify a
specific NIC on a host device.
|
|
They are used to
determine which host device accepts the frame.
|
|
They provide
vendor-specific information about the host.
|
|
They are used to
determine the network that the host is located on.
|
|
They are used by
switches to make forwarding decisions.
|
9. Which device
accepts a message on one port and always forwards the message to all other
ports?
modem
|
|
switch
|
|
router
|
|
hub
|
10. Which two
networking devices are used to connect hosts to the access layer?
hub and switch
|
|
switch and router
|
|
hub and router
|
|
switch and computer
|
|
client and server
|
11. Host A needs to
learn the MAC address of Host B, which is on the same LAN segment. A message
has been sent to all the hosts on the segment asking for the MAC address of
Host B. Host B responds with its MAC address and all other hosts disregard the
request. What protocol was used in this scenario?
ARP
|
|
DHCP
|
|
DNS
|
|
WINS
|
12. A switch receives
a frame with a destination MAC address that is currently not in the MAC table.
What action does the switch perform?
It drops the frame.
|
|
It sends out an ARP
request looking for the MAC address.
|
|
It floods the frame
out of all active ports, except the origination port.
|
|
It returns the frame
to the sender.
|
13. What is a benefit
of having a router within the distribution layer?
prevents collisions
on a local network
|
|
keeps broadcasts
contained within a local network
|
|
controls which hosts
have access to the network
|
|
controls
host-to-host traffic within a single local network
|
14.
Refer to the graphic.
What does the router do after it determines that a data packet from Network 1
should be forwarded to Network 2?
It sends the data
packet as it was received.
|
|
It reassembles the
frame with different MAC addresses than the original frame.
|
|
It reassembles the
data packet with different IP addresses than the original data packet.
|
|
It reassembles both
the packet and the frame with different destination IP and MAC addresses.
|
15. Which table does a
router use to make decisions about the interface through which a data packet is
to be sent?
ARP table
|
|
routing table
|
|
network table
|
|
forwarding table
|
16. If the default
gateway is configured incorrectly on the host, what is the impact on
communications?
The host is unable
to communicate on the local network.
|
|
The host can
communicate with other hosts on the local network, but is unable to
communicate with hosts on remote networks.
|
|
The host can
communicate with other hosts on remote networks, but is unable to communicate
with hosts on the local network.
|
|
There is no impact
on communications.
|
17. What device is
typically used as the default gateway for a computer?
a server hosted by
the ISP
|
|
the router interface
closest to the computer
|
|
a server managed by
a central IT department
|
|
the switch interface
that connects to the computer
|
18. What type of route
allows a router to forward packets even though its routing table contains no
specific route to the destination network?
dynamic route
|
|
default route
|
|
destination route
|
|
generic route
|

for disabling simple file sharing?
It enables the user
to map a remote resource with a local drive.
|
|
It enables the user
to share all files with all users and groups.
|
|
It enables the user
to share printers.
|
|
It enables the user
to set more specific security access levels.
