Which statement is true about broadcast and collision demains? © Topic 2.2.0 - A switch that receives a broadcast frame will forward the frame out all other interfaces, including interfaces that connect to other switches. These switches will also perform the same forwarding action. By adding more switches to the network, the size of the broadcast domain increases. Adding a router to a network will Increase the size of the collision domain. The size of the collision domain can be reduced by adding hubs to a network. The more interfaces a router has the larger the resulting broadcast domain. @ Acting a switch to a network will increase the size of the broadcast domain. 2. What is one function of a Layer 2 switch? © Topic 2.1.0 - A switch builds a MAC address table of MAC addresses and associated port numbers by examining the source MAC address found in inbound frames. To forward a frame onward, the switch examines the destination MAC address, looks in the MAC address for a port number associated with that. destination MAC address, and sends it to the specific port. If the destination MAC address is not in the table, the switch forwards the frame out all ports except the inbound port that originated the frame. @ determines which interface is used to forward a trame based on the3. What is the significant difference between a hub and a Layer 2 LAN switch? Q Topic 2.2.0 - Hubs operate only at the physical layer, forwarding bits as wire signals out all ports, and extend the collision domain of a network. Switches forward frames at the data link layer and each switch port is a separate collision domain, and thus more, but smaller, collision domains are created. Switches do not manage broadcast domains because broadcast frames are always forwarded out all active ports. @A switch creates many smaller collision domains, and a hub increases the size of a single collision domain ) A hub forwards frames, and a switch forwards only packets. ) A hub divides collision domains, and a switch divides broadcast domains. Each port of a hub is a collision domain, and each port of a switch is a broadcast domain. 4, What will a Cisco LAN switch do if it receives an incoming frame and the destination MAC address is not listed in the MAC address table? © Topic 2.1.0 - A LAN switch populates the MAC address table based on source MAC addresses. When a switch receives an incoming frame with a destination MAC address that is not listed in the MAC address table, the switch forwards the frame out all ports except for the ingress port of the frame. When the destination device responds, the switch adds the source MAC address and the port on which it was received to the MAC address table. () Send the frame to the default gateway address. (O) Use ARP to resolve the port that is related to the frame.5. Which switch characteristic helps alleviate network congestion when a 10 Gbps port is forwarding data to a 1 Gbps port? Q Topic 2.2.0 - The large frame buffers on a switch hold the ingress traffic until such time that the slower egress port can transmit the data. This reduces the number of dropped frames and alleviates network congestion. O high port density CO fast port speed fast internal switching @ trame buffering 6. Which switching method makes use of the FCS value? © Topic 2.1.0 - The store-and-forward method performs error checking on the frame using the frame-check sequence (FCS) value before sending the frame. The FCS value is the last field in the frame. large frame buffer @ store-and-forward ) broadcast cut-through7. What does the term "port density” represent for an Ethemet switch? © Topic 2.2.0 - The term port density represents the number of. ports available in a switch. A one rack unit access switch can have up to 48 ports. Larger switches may support hundreds of ports. ~) the memory space that is allocated to each switch port the speed of each port @ the number of available ports ) the numbers of hosts that are connected to each switch port 8. Which information does a switch use to keep the MAC address table information current? © Topic 2.1.0 - To maintain the MAC address table, the switch uses the source MAC address of the incoming packets and the port that the packets enter. The destination address is used to select the outgoing port. ) the source MAC address and the outgoing port CO the destination MAC address and the incoming port ©@ the source MAC address and the incoming port ~) the source and destination MAC addresses and the outgoing port O the destination MAC address and the outgoing port the source and destination MAC addresses and the incoming port9. Which two statements are true about half-duplex and full-duplex communications? (Choose two.) © Topic 2.2.0 - Full-duplex communication allows both ends to transmit and receive simultaneously, offering 100 percent efficiency in both directions for a 200 percent potential use of stated bandwidth. Half-duplex communication is unidirectional, or one direction at a time. Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gb/s NICs require full duplex to operate, and do not support half-duplex operation. ] Full duplex offers 100 percent potential use of the bandwidth. Full duplex inereases the effective bandwidth. ] Half duplex has only one channel. Full duplex allows both ends to transmit and receive simultaneously. (JAI! modern NICs support both half-duplex and full-duplex communication. 10. Which type of address does a switch use to build the MAC address table? © Topic 2.1.0 - When a switch receives a frame with a source MAC address that is not in the MAC address table, the switch will add that MAC address to the table and map that address to a specific port. Switches do not use IP addressing in the MAC address table. @ source MAC adress destination MAC address ) source IP address ) destination IP address11. Which option correctly describes a switching method? © Topic 2.1.0 - Store-and-forward switching performs an error check on an incoming frame after receiving the entire frame on the ingress port. Switches which use this method have the flexibility to support any mix of Ethernet speeds. The cut-through method begins the forwarding process after the destination MAC address of an incoming frame is looked up and the egress port has been determined. CO store-and-forward: forwards the frame immediately after examining its destination MAC address @ store-and-forward: ensures that the frame is free of physical and data-link errors ( cut-through: makes a forwarding decision after receiving the entire frame © cut-through: provides the flexibility to support any mix of Ethernet speeds 12. Which network device can serve as a boundary to divide a Layer 2 broadcast domain? © Topic 2.2.0 - Layer 1 and 2 devices (LAN switch and Ethernet hub) and access point devices do not filter MAC broadcast frames. Only a Layer 3 device, such as a router, can divide a Layer 2 broadcast domain. © Ethermet hub C Ethemet bridge access point router13. What is the purpose of frame buffers on a switch? © Topic 2.2.0 - Switches have large frame buffers that allow data waiting to be transmitted to be stored so the data will not be dropped. This feature is beneficial especially if the incoming traffic is from a faster port than the egress port used for transmittin © They hold trate, thus alleviating network congestion © They provide temporary storage of the frame checksum, C) They execute checksum values before transmission. ) They provide a basic security scan on received frames. 14. Which network device can be used to eliminate collisions on an Ethernet network? © Topic 2.2.0 - A switch provides microsegmentation so that no. other device competes for the same Ethernet network bandwidth. D) hub @ switen O firewall O) router
