Which OSI layer determines the route a packet takes from sender to receiver? a. 7 b. 1 c. 3 d. 4
3
Which OSI layer is responsible for setting up, maintaining, and ending ongoing infor- mation exchanges across a network? a. 6 b. 3 c. 2 d. 5
5
At which Data Link sublayer does the physical address reside? a. Media Access Control (MAC) b. Logical Link Control (LLC) c. Data Access Control (DAC) d. Network Access Control (NAC)
A
Which term refers to stripping header information as a PDU is passed from one layer to a higher layer? a. Deencapsulation b. Encapsulation c. PDU stripping d. Packetization
A
The original commercial version of Ethernet supported 10 Mbps bandwidth; the version introduced in the early 1990s supports 100 Mbps; and in 1998, Gigabit Ethernet was introduced. All versions use the same data frame formats, with the same maximum PDU sizes, so they can interoperate freely. Given this information and what you know of lay- ered technologies, which of the following statements is true? (Choose all that apply.) a. Ethernet works at the Data Link and Physical layers of the OSI model, and upgrades to newer, faster versions of Ethernet can be made by changing only the components that work at these layers. b. Ethernet spans several layers and requires a new protocol stack to upgrade to new versions. c. Changes in technology at one layer of the OSI model don't usually affect the opera- tion of other layers. d. Ethernet isn't considered a scalable technology.
A and C
