Network Fundamentals Chapter 9 - Ethernet

This document discusses Ethernet networking concepts including: 1. CSMA/CD allows hosts to access the shared Ethernet medium to prevent collisions. 2. VLANs allow networks to be segmented virtually for security and management. 3. MAC addresses identify devices on the network and switches use destination MAC addresses to make forwarding decisions.

Chapter 9 – Ethernet

1. Match the Ethernet frame fields on the left to their function on the right.

2. What is a primary function of CSMA/CD in an Ethernet network?

a. assigns MAC addresses to hosts

b. defines the area in which collisions can occur

c. identifies the start and end of Ethernet frame

d. provides a method to determine when and how hosts access the Ethernet medium

e. creates the header in the Ethernet frame as data is encapsulated

f. maps an IP address to a MAC address

3. What technology is the IEEE 802.3ac standard specifically designed to accommodate?

a. Simple Network Management Protocol

b. Address Resolution Protocol

c. Virtual Local Area Network

d. Voice over IP

e. Internet Control Message Protocol

4. What is the purpose of media access control?

a. It identifies which workstation has sent a frame.

b. It determines which Layer 3 protocol should handle a frame


c. It identifies which Ethernet frame format to use on the network.

d. It determine which workstation on a shared medium LAN is allowed to transmit data.

5. How are collisions detected on an Ethernet network?

a. Stations identify the altered FC field on the colliding packets.

b. The signal amplitude on the networking media is higher than normal.

c. Traffic on the network cannot be detected due to a blockage.

d. The signal amplitude on the networking media is lower than normal.

6. Which Layer 2 sublayer provides services to the network layer of the OSI Model?

a. FCS

8. In the graphic, Host A has reached 50% completion in sending 1KB Ethernet frame to Host D when
Host B wishes to transmit its own frame to Host C. What must Host B do?
a. Host B can transmit immediately since it is connected on its own cable segment.

b. Host B must wait to receive a CSMA transmission from the hub, to signal its turn.

c. Host B must send a request signal to Host A by transmitting an interframe gap.

d. Host B must wait until it is certain that Host A has completed sending its frame.

9. Which of the following are field s in an 802.3 Ethernet frame? (Choose three.)

a. source physical address

b. source logical address

c. media type identifier

d. frame check sequence

e. destination physical address

a. source IP

b. destination IP

c. source MAC

d. destination MAC
