Switch Questions
A switch has 48 ports and 4 VLANs. How many collision and broadcast domains exist on the switch?
48, 4
Refer to the exhibit. SwitchA receives the frame with the addressing shown in the exhibit. According to the command output also shown in the exhibit, how will SwitchA handle this frame?
It will forward the frame out port Fa0/6 only.
Refer to the exhibit. The exhibit is showing the topology and the MAC address table. Host A sends a data frame to host D. What will the switch do when it receives the frame from host A?
The switch will add the source address and port to the MAC address table and forward the frame to host D.
Which address type does a switch use to make selective forwarding decisions?
destination MAC address
A switch receives a frame on one of its ports. There is no entry on the MAC address table for the destination MAC address. What will the switch do with the frame?
forward it out all ports except the one that received it.
Refer to the topology and switching table shown in the graphic. Host B sends a frame to Host C. What will the switch do with the frame?
send the frame out all ports except port 0/2
Refer to the exhibit. The ports that are shown are the only active ports on the switch. The MAC address table is shown in its entirety. The Ethernet frame that is shown arrives at the switch. What two operations will the switch perform when it receives this frame? (Choose two)
-The MAC address of 0000.00aa.aaaa will be added to the MAC Address Table -The Frame will be forwarded out fa0/1, fa0/2, fa0/3
Refer to the exhibit. The MAC address table is shown in its entirety. The Ethernet frame that is shown arrives at the switch. What two operations will the switch perform when it receives this frame? (Choose two)
-The MAC address of 0000.00aa.aaaa will be added to the MAC Address Table. -The frame will be forwarded out all active switch ports except for port fa0/0.
Which Layer 2 characteristics apply to Layer 2 switches? (Choose two)
-increases the number of collision domains -implements VLANs
What is the purpose of assigning an IP address to a switch?
allows remote management of the switch
How does a switch differ from a hub?
a switch tracks MAC addresses of directly-connected devices
