In the graphic, Host A has reached 50% completion in sending a 1 KB Ethernet

frame to Host D when Host B wishes to transmit its own frame to Host C. What
must Host B do?

Host B can transmit immediately since it is connected on its own cable segment.
Host B must wait to receive a CSMA transmission from the hub, to signal its
turn.
Host B must send a request signal to Host A by transmitting an interframe gap.
* Host B must wait until it is certain that Host A has completed sending its
frame.

2 Ethernet operates at which layers of the OSI model? (Choose two.)

Network layer
Transport layer
* Physical layer
Application layer
Session layer
* Data-link layer

3 Which of the following describe interframe spacing? (Choose two.)

* the minimum interval, measured in bit-times, that any station must wait before
sending another frame

Cisco-Training.net
the maximum interval, measured in bit-times, that any station must wait before
sending another frame
the 96-bit payload padding inserted into a frame to achieve a legal frame size
the 96-bit frame padding transmitted between frames to achieve proper
synchronization
* the time allowed for slow stations to process a frame and prepare for the next
frame
the maximum interval within which a station must send another frame to avoid
being considered unreachable

4 What three primary functions does data link layer encapsulation provide?
(Choose three.)

* addressing
* error detection
* frame delimiting
port identification
path determination
IP address resolution

5 When a collision occurs in a network using CSMA/CD, how do hosts with

data to transmit respond after the backoff period has expired?

* The hosts return to a listen-before-transmit mode.

The hosts creating the collision have priority to send data.
The hosts creating the collision retransmit the last 16 frames.
The hosts extend their delay period to allow for rapid transmission.

6 What are three functions of the upper data link sublayer in the OSI model?
(Choose three.)

recognizes streams of bits

* identifies the network layer protocol
* makes the connection with the upper layers identifies the source and
destination applications
* insulates network layer protocols from changes in physical equipment
determines the source of a transmission when multiple devices are transmitting

7 What does the IEEE 802.2 standard represent in Ethernet technologies?

MAC sublayer
Physical layer
* Logical Link
Control sublayer
Network layer

8 Why do hosts on an Ethernet segment that experience a collision use a random
delay before attempting to transmit a frame?

A random delay is used to ensure a collision-free link.

A random delay value for each device is assigned by the manufacturer.
A standard delay value could not be agreed upon among networking device
vendors.
* A random delay helps prevent the stations from experiencing another collision
during the transmission.

9 Refer to the exhibit. Which option correctly matches the frame field type with
the contents that frame field includes?

header field - preamble and stop frame

* data field - network layer packet
data field - physical addressing
trailer field - FCS and SoF

10 Host A has an IP address of 172.16.225.93 and a mask of 255.255.248.0.

Host A needs to communicate with a new host whose IP is 172.16.231.78. Host
A performs the ANDing operation on the destination address. What two things
will occur? (Choose two.)

Host A will change the destination IP to the IP of the nearest router and forward
the packet.
Host A will broadcast an ARP request for the MAC of its default gateway.
A result of 172.16.225.0 will be obtained.
* Host A will broadcast an ARP request for the MAC of the destination host.
A result of 172.16.224.0 will be obtained.
* A result of 172.16.225.255 will be obtained.

11 Which of the following is a drawback of the CSMA/CD access method?

* Collisions can decrease network performance.

It is more complex than non-deterministic protocols.
Deterministic media access protocols slow network performance.
CSMA/CD LAN technologies are only available at slower speeds than other
LAN technologies.

12 Ethernet operates at which layer of the TCP/IP network model?

application
physical
transport
Cisco-Training.net
internet
data link
* network access

13 What is the primary purpose of ARP?

translate URLs to IP addresses

* resolve IPv4 addresses to MAC addresses
provide dynamic IP configuration to network devices
convert internal private addresses to external public addresses

14

Refer to the exhibit. The switch and workstation are administratively configured
for full-duplex operation. Which statement accurately reflects the operation of
this link?

* No collisions will occur on this link.

Only one of the devices can transmit at a time.
The switch will have priority for transmitting data.
The devices will default back to half duplex if excessive collisions occur.

A packet with the destination IP of Router_A.
* A frame with the destination MAC address of Router_A.
* A packet with the destination IP of Server_B.
A frame with the destination MAC address of Server_B.

16 Which statements correctly describe MAC addresses? (Choose three.)

dynamically assigned

* copied into RAM during system startup
layer 3 address
* contains a 3 byte OUI
* 6 bytes long
32 bits long

17 Which two features make switches preferable to hubs in Ethernet-based

networks? (Choose two.)
