RS1 Chapter 5
A collision fragment, also known as a RUNT frame, is a frame of fewer than 64 bytes in length.
RUNT
Which statement describes the treatment of ARP requests on the local link?
They are received and processed by every device on the local network.*
What is auto-MDIX?
a feature that detects Ethernet cable type*
Which switching method uses the CRC value in a frame?
store-and-forward*
What statement illustrates a drawback of the CSMA/CD access method?
Collisions can decrease network performance.*
What happens to runt frames received by a Cisco Ethernet switch?
The frame is dropped.*
How does adding an Ethernet line card affect the form factor of a switch?
by expanding the port density*
n a Cisco switch, port-based memory buffering is used to buffer frames in queues linked to specific incoming and outgoing ports.
port-based
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*
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 a characteristic of port-based memory buffering?
Frames are buffered in queues linked to specific ports.*
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.* If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it responds with an ARP reply.*
What statement describes Ethernet?
It defines the most common LAN type in the world.*
What is a characteristic of a contention-based access method?
It is a nondeterministic method.*
The ARP table in a switch maps which two types of address together?
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.* 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.)
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.*
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*
What is the minimum Ethernet frame size that will not be discarded by the receiver as a runt frame?
64 bytes*
What are the two sizes (minimum and maximum) of an Ethernet frame? (Choose two.)
64 bytes* 1518 bytes*
Which statement is true about MAC addresses?
The first three bytes are used by the vendor assigned OUI.*
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*
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.* The auto-MDIX feature will configure the interfaces eliminating the need for a crossover cable.*
What statement describes a characteristic of MAC addresses?
They must be globally unique.*
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*
What addressing information is recorded by a switch to build its MAC address table?
the source Layer 2 address of incoming frames
What is the aim of an ARP spoofing attack?
to associate IP addresses to the wrong MAC address*
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 destination address is used in an ARP request frame?
FFFF.FFFF.FFFF*
True or False? When a device is sending data to another device on a remote network, the Ethernet frame is sent to the MAC address of the default gateway.
True
ARP spoofing is a technique that is used to send fake ARP messages to other hosts in the LAN. The aim is to associate IP addresses to the wrong MAC addresses
spoofing
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*
