Testout ICND1 Objective 1.0

Which of the following accurately describes how switches and hubs work? (Select two.)

A hub repeats frames to all ports, regardless of the destination address. Switches use the hardware address in the frame to send it only to the port where the device is located.

Which of the following statements are true about bridges? (Choose two.)

Bridges broadcast messages from one network segment to another. Bridges connect two network segments with the same network address.

Which of the following is an advantage of using a bridge?

Bridges can be used to increase the maximum physical distance of a LAN.

Which of the following is a list of Layer 2 devices?

Bridge, network interface card, switch

You have a small network with two switches, SwitchA and SwitchB. Each switch has three client computers connected. WrkA_1, WrkA_2, and WrkA_3 are connected to SwitchA using their own subnet, while WrkB_4, WrkB_5, and WrkB_6 are connected to SwitchB using a different subnet. You need to connect SwitchA and SwitchB so that workstations connected to SwitchA can communicate with workstations connected to SwitchB. Which should you do?

Connect SwitchA and SwitchB to a router using a straight-through cable on each side.

You manage a small LAN for a branch office. The branch office has six file servers. You want to use full-duplex Ethernet and offer guaranteed bandwidth to each server. How should you design the network?

Connect all network devices to a switch. Connect each server to its own switch port.

which of the following best describe how a switch functions? (Select two.)

It filters the network traffic based on hardware addresses. It connects multiple network segments and forwards packets to the appropriate segment.

You are asked to design a LAN segmentation solution for Company AGH. They have three workgroups, Accounting, Sales, and Service. Most network traffic is localized within the individual workgroups, but some traffic crosses between each group. Company AGH is especially concerned about the security of information within the Accounting department. Which segmentation device meets the needs while providing the most economical and simplest administration?

Router

You have been put in charge of connecting two company networks that were previously separated. You need to connect a 100BaseTx Ethernet network with an older token ring network. Most traffic will be localized within each network, with only a little traffic crossing between networks. Both networks are using the TCP/IP protocol suite. Which connectivity device would be the best choice in this situation?

Router

Which of the following are general advantages of using routers on your network? (Select three.)

Routers support multiple routing protocols for better flexibility. Routers provide multiple links between devices to support load balancing. Routers provide more features, such as flow control, error detection, and congestion control, than switches or bridges.

You want to prevent collisions on your network by creating separate collision domains and defining virtual LANs. Which of the following devices should you choose?

Switch

Which of the following are characteristics of a switch? (Select two.)

The collision domain on a switch is all devices connected to a single switch port. A switch reads the MAC address in a frame and makes forwarding decisions based on that address.
