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.
Which statement is true about MAC addresses? MAC addresses are implemented by software. A NIC only needs a MAC address if connected to a WAN. The first three bytes are used by the vendor assigned OUI. The ISO is responsible for MAC addresses regulations.
The first three bytes are used by the vendor assigned OUI.
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 link between the switches will work at the fastest speed that is supported by both switches. The link between switches will work as full-duplex. If both switches support different speeds, they will each work at their own fastest speed. The auto-MDIX feature will configure the interfaces eliminating the need for a crossover cable. The connection will not be possible unless the administrator changes the cable to a crossover cable. The duplex capability has to be manually configured because it cannot be negotiated.

Preamble
Beginning of frame - Field 1
Which two statements are correct about MAC and IP addresses during data transmission if NAT is not involved? (Choose two.) A packet that has crossed four routers has changed the destination IP address four times. Destination MAC addresses will never change in a frame that goes across seven routers. 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. Every time a frame is encapsulated with a new destination MAC address, a new destination IP address is needed.

What is a characteristic of port-based memory buffering? Frames in the memory buffer are dynamically linked to destination ports. All frames are stored in a common memory buffer. Frames are buffered in queues linked to specific ports. All ports on a switch share a single memory buffer.
Frames are buffered in queues linked to specific ports.
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 are two features of ARP? (Choose two.) If a host is ready to send a packet to a local destination device and it has the IP address but not the MAC address of the destination, it generates an ARP broadcast. An ARP request is sent to all devices on the Ethernet LAN and contains the IP address of the destination host and its multicast MAC address. When a host is encapsulating a packet into a frame, it refers to the MAC address table to determine the mapping of IP addresses to MAC addresses. If no device responds to the ARP request, then the originating node will broadcast the data packet to all devices on the network segment. If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it responds with an ARP reply.
If a host is ready to send a packet to a local destination device and it has the IP address but not the MAC address of the destination, it generates an ARP broadcast. If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it responds with an ARP reply.
What is a characteristic of a contention-based access method? It processes more overhead than the controlled access methods do. It has mechanisms to track the turns to access the media. It is a nondeterministic method. It scales very well under heavy media use.
It is a nondeterministic method
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 destination device. It will send an ARP request for the MAC address of the default gateway. It will send the frame and use its own MAC address as the destination. It will send the frame with a broadcast MAC address. It will send a request to the DNS server for the destination MAC 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.

Which address or combination of addresses does a Layer 3 switch use to make forwarding decisions? IP address only port address only MAC address only MAC and port addresses MAC and IP addresses

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.
