A switch with a default configuration connects four hosts. The ARP table for host A is shown. What happens when host A wants to send an IP packet to host D? ~Host A sends an ARP request to the MAC address of host D. ~Host D sends an ARP request to host A. ~Host A sends out the packet to the switch. The switch sends the packet only to the host D, which in turn responds. ~Host A sends out a broadcast of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Every other host connected to the switch receives the broadcast and host D responds with its MAC address.

Host A sends out a broadcast of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Every other host connected to the switch receives the broadcast and host D responds with its MAC address.

What statement describes Ethernet? ~It defines the most common LAN type in the world. ~It is the required Layer 1 and 2 standard for Internet communication. ~It defines a standard model used to describe how networking works. ~It connects multiple sites such as routers located in different countries.

It defines the most common LAN type in the world.

The ARP table in a switch maps which two types of address together? ~Layer 3 address to a Layer 2 address ~Layer 3 address to a Layer 4 address ~Layer 4 address to a Layer 2 address ~Layer 2 address to a Layer 4 address

Layer 3 address to a Layer 2 address

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. ~Logical link control is specified in the IEEE 802.3 standard. ~The LLC sublayer adds a header and a trailer to the data. ~The data link layer uses LLC to communicate with the upper layers of the protocol suite. ~The LLC sublayer is responsible for the placement and retrieval of frames on and off the media.

Logical link control is implemented in software. & The data link layer uses LLC to communicate with the upper layers of the protocol suite.

What are two potential network problems that can result from ARP operation? (Choose two.) ~Manually configuring static ARP associations could facilitate ARP poisoning or MAC address spoofing. ~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. ~Large numbers of ARP request broadcasts could cause the host MAC address table to overflow and prevent the host from communicating on the network. ~Multiple ARP replies result in the switch MAC address table containing entries that match the MAC addresses of hosts that are connected to the relevant switch port.

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.

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. ~RT1 will send an ARP reply with its Fa0/0 MAC address. ~RT1 will send an ARP reply with the PC2 MAC address. ~SW1 will send an ARP reply with the PC2 MAC address. ~SW1 will send an ARP reply with its Fa0/1 MAC address.

PC2 will send an ARP reply with its MAC address.

What happens to runt frames received by a Cisco Ethernet switch? ~The frame is dropped. ~The frame is returned to the originating network device. ~The frame is broadcast to all other devices on the same network. ~The frame is sent to the default gateway.

The frame is dropped.

Refer to the exhibit. The exhibit shows a small switched network and the contents of the MAC address table of the switch. PC1 has sent a frame addressed to PC3. What will the switch do with the frame? ~The switch will discard the frame. ~The switch will forward the frame only to port 2. ~The switch will forward the frame to all ports except port 4. ~The switch will forward the frame to all ports. ~The switch will forward the frame only to ports 1 and 3.

The switch will forward the frame to all ports except port 4.

Which statement describes the treatment of ARP requests on the local link? ~They must be forwarded by all routers on the local network. ~They are received and processed by every device on the local network. ~They are dropped by all switches on the local network. ~They are received and processed only by the target device.

They are received and processed by every device on the local network.

What is auto-MDIX? ~a type of Cisco switch ~an Ethernet connector type ~a type of port on a Cisco switch ~a feature that detects Ethernet cable type

a feature that detects Ethernet cable type

Match the characteristics to either the cut-through or store-and-forward forwarding method. ~always stores the entire frame ~checks the CRC before forwarding ~checks the frame length before forwarding ~does not forward broadcasts ~has low latency ~may forward runt frames ~begins forwarding when the destination address is received

cut-through: ~has low latency ~may forward run frames ~begins forwarding when the destination address is received store-and-forward: ~always stores the entire frame ~checks the CRC before forwarding ~checks the frame length before forwarding

The switches are in their default configuration. Host A needs to communicate with host D, but host A does not have the MAC address for its default gateway. Which network hosts will receive the ARP request sent by host A? ~only host D ~only router R1 ~only hosts A, B, and C ~only hosts A, B, C, and D ~only hosts B and C ~only hosts B, C, and router R1

only hosts B, C, and router R1
