Has low latency:
CUT-THROUGH
May forward runt frames:
CUT-THROUGH
Begins forwarding when the destination address is received:
CUT-THROUGH
Always stores the entire frame:
STORE-AND-FORWARD
Checks the CRC before forwarding.
STORE-AND-FORWARD
Checks the frame length before forwarding.
STORE-AND-FORWARD
A host is trying to send a packet to a device on a remote LAN segment, but there are currently no mappings in its ARP cache. How will the device obtain a destination MAC address?
It will send an ARP request for the MAC address of the default gateway.
Which address or combination of addresses does a Layer 3 switch use to make forwarding decisions?
MAC and IP addresses
What are two potential network problems that can result from ARP operation?
- On large networks with low bandwidth, multiple ARP broadcasts could cause data communication delays.
- Network attackers could manipulate MAC address and IP address mappings in ARP messages with the intent of intercepting network traffic.
Launch PT Hide and Save PT
Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instruction and then answer the question.
What destination address will PC1 include in the destination address field of the Ethernet frame that it sends to PC2?
0030.a3e5.0401
How does adding an Ethernet line card affect the form factor of a switch?
by expanding the PORT DENSITY
Which two statements are correct about MAC and IP addresses during data transmission if NAT is not involved? (Choose two.)
- Destination and source MAC addresses have local significance and change every time a frame goes from one LAN to another.
- Destination IP addresses in a packet header remain constant along the entire path to a target host.
What is the Layer 2 multicast MAC address that corresponds to the Layer 3 IPv4 multicast address 224.139.34.56?
01-00-5E-0B-22-38
What is the purpose of the preamble in an Ethernet frame?
is used for timing SYNCHRONIZATION
A Layer 2 switch is used to switch incoming frames from a 1000BASE-T port to a port connected to a 100Base-T network. Which method of memory buffering would work best for this task?
SHARED memory buffering
A network administrator is connecting two modern switches using a straight-through cable. The switches are new and have never been configured. Which three statements are correct about the final result of the connection? (Choose three.)
- The AUTO-MDIX feature will configure the interfaces eliminating the need for a crossover cable.
- The LINK between switches will work as FULL-DUPLEX.
- The LINK between the switches will work at the FASTEST SPEED that is supported by both switches.
Refer to the exhibit. PC1 issues an ARP request because it needs to send a packet to PC2. In this scenario, what will happen next?
PC2 will send an ARP reply with its MAC address.
MAC only
What is a characteristic of a contention-based access method?
It is a NONDETERMINISTIC method.
What statement illustrates a drawback of the CSMA/CD access method?
COLLISIONS can decrease network performance.
When would a switch record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table?
when another switch is connected to the SWITCH PORT
Which two statements describe a fixed configuration Ethernet switch? (Choose two.)
- A fixed configuration switch may be stackable.*
- The number of ports on the switch cannot be increased.*
Which two statements describe features or functions of the logical link control sublayer in Ethernet standards? (Choose two.)
- Logical link control is implemented in software.
- The data link layer uses LLC to communicate with the upper layers of the protocol suite.
A network administrator issues the following commands on a Layer 3 switch:
DLS1(config)# interface f0/3 DLS1(config-if)# no switchport DLS1(config-if)# ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.0 DLS1(config-if)# no shutdown DLS1(config-if)# end
What is the administrator configuring?
a ROUTED PORT
Which statement is true about MAC addresses?
The first three bytes are used by the vendor assigned OUI.
