Introduction to Networks ( Version 7.

00) – Modules 4 – 7: Ethernet

Concepts Exam
1. What is the purpose of the OSI physical layer?
 controlling access to media
 transmitting bits across the local media
 performing error detection on received frames
 exchanging frames between nodes over physical network
media
2. Why are two strands of fiber used for a single fiber optic connection?
 The two strands allow the data to travel for longer distances
without degrading.
 They prevent crosstalk from causing interference on the
connection.
 They increase the speed at which the data can travel.
 They allow for full-duplex connectivity.
3. Which characteristic describes crosstalk?
 the distortion of the network signal from fluorescent lighting
 the distortion of the transmitted messages from signals carried in adjacent wires
 the weakening of the network signal over long cable lengths
 the loss of wireless signal over excessive distance from the
access point
4. Which procedure is used to reduce the effect of crosstalk in copper cables?
 requiring proper grounding connections
 twisting opposing circuit wire pairs together
 wrapping the bundle of wires with metallic shielding
 designing a cable infrastructure to avoid crosstalk interference
 avoiding sharp bends during installation
5. Match the situation with the appropriate use of network media.
 6. A network administrator is measuring the transfer of bits across the company
backbone for a mission critical financial application. The administrator notices that
the network throughput appears lower than the bandwidth expected. Which three
factors could influence the differences in throughput? (Choose three.)
 the amount of traffic that is currently crossing the network
 the sophistication of the encapsulation method applied to the
data
 the type of traffic that is crossing the network
 the latency that is created by the number of network devices that the data is
crossing
 the bandwidth of the WAN connection to the Internet
 the reliability of the gigabit Ethernet infrastructure of the
backbone
Explanation: Throughput usually does not match the specified
bandwidth of physical links due to multiple factors. These factors
include, the amount of traffic, type of traffic, and latency created
by the network devices the data has to cross.

7. What are two characteristics of fiber-optic cable? (Choose

two.)
 It is not affected by EMI or RFI.
 Each pair of cables is wrapped in metallic foil.
 It combines the technique of cancellation, shielding, and
twisting to protect data.
 It typically contains 4 pairs of fiber-optic wires.
 It is more expensive than UTP cabling is.
Explanation: Fiber-optic cabling supports higher bandwidth than
UTP for longer distances. Fiber is immune to EMI and RFI, but
costs more, requires more skill to install, and requires more
safety precautions.

8. What is a primary role of the Physical layer in transmitting data

on the network?
 create the signals that represent the bits in each frame on to the media
 provide physical addressing to the devices
 determine the path packets take through the network
 control data access to the media
 Explanation: The OSI physical layer provides the means to
transport the bits that make up a frame across the network
media. This layer accepts a complete frame from the data link
layer and encodes it as a series of signals that are transmitted to
the local media.
9. With the use of unshielded twisted-pair copper wire in a network, what causes
crosstalk within the cable pairs?
 the magnetic field around the adjacent pairs of wire
 the use of braided wire to shield the adjacent wire pairs
 the reflection of the electrical wave back from the far end of
the cable
 the collision caused by two nodes trying to use the media
simultaneously
Explanation: Crosstalk is a type of noise, or interference that
occurs when signal transmission on one wire interferes with
another wire. When current flows through a wire a magnetic field
is produced. The produced magnetic field will interface the signal
carried in the adjacent wire.
10. Refer to the graphic. What type of cabling is shown?

 STP
 UTP
 coax
 fiber
Explanation: Network cabling include different types of cables:
 UTP cable consists of four pairs of color-coded wires that have
been twisted together and then encased in a flexible plastic
sheath.
 STP cable uses four pairs of wires, each wrapped in a foil
shield, which are then wrapped in an overall metallic braid or
foil.
 Coaxial cable uses a copper conductor and a layer of flexible
plastic insulation surrounds the copper conductor.
 Fiber cable is a flexible, extremely thin, transparent strand of
glass surrounded by plastic insulation.
11. In addition to the cable length, what two factors could interfere with the
communication carried over UTP cables? (Choose two.)
 crosstalk
 bandwidth
 size of the network
 signal modulation technique
 electromagnetic interference
Explanation: Copper media is widely used in network
communications. However, copper media is limited by distance
and signal interference. Data is transmitted on copper cables as
electrical pulses. The electrical pulses are susceptible to
interference from two sources:
 Electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) –
EMI and RFI signals can distort and corrupt the data signals
being carried by copper media.
 Crosstalk – Crosstalk is a disturbance caused by the electric or
magnetic fields of a signal on one wire interfering with the
signal in an adjacent wire.
12. Refer to the graphic. What type of cabling is shown?

 STP
 UTP
 coax
 fiber
13. Which two devices commonly affect wireless networks? (Choose two.)
 Blu-ray players
 home theaters
 cordless phones
 microwaves
 incandescent light bulbs
 external hard drives
Explanation: Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is the interference
that is caused by radio transmitters and other devices that are
transmitting in the same frequency.
14. Which two statements describe the services provided by the data link layer?
(Choose two.)
 It defines the end-to-end delivery addressing scheme.
 It maintains the path between the source and destination
devices during the data transmission.
 It manages the access of frames to the network media.
 It provides reliable delivery through link establishment and flow
control.
 It ensures that application data will be transmitted according
to the prioritization.
 It packages various Layer 3 PDUs into a frame format that is compatible with the
network interface.
Explanation: The data link layer is divided into two sub layers,
namely Logical Link Control (LLC) and Media Access Control
(MAC). LLC forms a frame from the network layer PDU into a
format that conforms to the requirements of the network
interface and media. A network layer PDU might be for IPv4 or
IPv6. The MAC sub layer defines the media access processes
performed by the hardware. It manages the frame access to the
network media according to the physical signaling requirements
(copper cable, fiber optic, wireless, etc.)
15. What is the function of the CRC value that is found in the FCS field of a frame?
 to verify the integrity of the received frame
 to verify the physical address in the frame
 to verify the logical address in the frame
 to compute the checksum header for the data field in the frame
 16. What is contained in the trailer of a data-link frame?
 logical address
 physical address
 data
 error detection
17. Which statement describes a characteristic of the frame header fields of the data
link layer?
 They all include the flow control and logical connection fields.
 Ethernet frame header fields contain Layer 3 source and
destination addresses.
 They vary depending on protocols.
 They include information on user applications.
Explanation: All data link layer protocols encapsulate the Layer 3
PDU within the data field of the frame. However, the structure of
the frame and the fields that are contained in the header vary
according to the protocol. Different data link layer protocols may
use different fields, like priority/quality of service, logical
connection control, physical link control, flow control, and
congestion control.
18. A network team is comparing physical WAN topologies for connecting remote
sites to a headquarters building. Which topology provides high availability and
connects some, but not all, remote sites?
 mesh
 partial mesh
 hub and spoke
 point-to-point
Explanation: Partial mesh topologies provide high availability by
interconnecting multiple remote sites, but do not require a
connection between all remote sites. A mesh topology requires
point-to-point links with every system being connected to every
other system. A point-to-point topology is where each device is
connected to one other device. A hub and spoke uses a central
device in a star topology that connects to other point-to-point
devices.
19. Which two fields or features does Ethernet examine to determine if a received
frame is passed to the data link layer or discarded by the NIC? (Choose two.)
 auto-MDIX
 CEF
 Frame Check Sequence
 minimum frame size
 source MAC address
20. Which media communication type does not require media arbitration in the data
link layer?
 deterministic
 half-duplex
 full-duplex
 controlled access
Explanation: Half-duplex communication occurs when both devices
can both transmit and receive on the medium but cannot do so
simultaneously. Full-duplex communication occurs when both
devices can transmit and receive on the medium at the same
time and therefore does not require media arbitration. Half-
duplex communication is typically contention-based, whereas
controlled (deterministic) access is applied in technologies
where devices take turns to access the medium.
21. Which statement describes an extended star topology?
 End devices connect to a central intermediate device, which in turn connects to
other central intermediate devices.
 End devices are connected together by a bus and each bus
connects to a central intermediate device.
 Each end system is connected to its respective neighbor via an
intermediate device.
 All end and intermediate devices are connected in a chain to
each other.
Explanation: In an extended star topology, central intermediate
devices interconnect other star topologies.
22. What is a characteristic of the LLC sublayer?
 It provides the logical addressing required that identifies the
device.
 It provides delimitation of data according to the physical
signaling requirements of the medium.
 It places information in the frame allowing multiple Layer 3 protocols to use the
same network interface and media.
 It defines software processes that provide services to the
physical layer.
23. What are three ways that media access control is used in networking? (Choose
three.)
 Ethernet utilizes CSMA/CD.
 Media access control provides placement of data frames onto the media.
 Contention-based access is also known as deterministic.
 802.11 utilizes CSMA/CD.
 Data link layer protocols define the rules for access to different media.
 Networks with controlled access have reduced performance
due to data collisions.
24. During the encapsulation process, what occurs at the data link layer for a PC
connected to an Ethernet network?
 An IP address is added.
 The logical address is added.
 The physical address is added.
 The process port number is added.
Explanation: The Ethernet frame includes the source and
destination physical address. The trailer includes a CRC value in
the Frame Check Sequence field to allow the receiving device to
determine if the frame has been changed (has errors) during the
transmission.
25. What three items are contained in an Ethernet header and trailer? (Choose
three.)
 source IP address
 source MAC address
 destination IP address
 destination MAC address
 error-checking information
Explanation: Layer 2 headers contain the following:
 Frame start and stop indicator flags at the beginning and end of
a frame
 Addressing – for Ethernet networks this part of the header
contains source and destination MAC addresses
 Type field to indicate what Layer 3 protocol is being used
 Error detection to determine if the frame arrived without error

26. What type of communication rule would best describe CSMA/CD?

 access method
 flow control
 message encapsulation
 message encoding
Explanation: Carrier sense multiple access collision detection
(CSMA/CD) is the access method used with Ethernet. The access
method rule of communication dictates how a network device is
able to place a signal on the carrier. CSMA/CD dictates those
rules on an Ethernet network and CSMA/CA dictates those rules
on an 802.11 wireless LAN.
27. Which three basic parts are common to all frame types supported by the data
link layer? (Choose three.)
 header
 type field
 MTU size
 data
 trailer
 CRC value
Explanation: The data link protocol is responsible for NIC-to-NIC
communications within the same network. Although there are
many different data link layer protocols that describe data link
layer frames, each frame type has three basic parts:
 Header
 Data
 Trailer

28. Which statement is true about the CSMA/CD access method that is used in
Ethernet?
 When a device hears a carrier signal and transmits, a collision
cannot occur.
 A jamming signal causes only devices that caused the collision
to execute a backoff algorithm.
 All network devices must listen before transmitting.
 Devices involved in a collision get priority to transmit after the
backoff period.
29. What is the auto-MDIX feature on a switch?
 the automatic configuration of an interface for 10/100/1000
Mb/s operation
 the automatic configuration of an interface for a straight-through or a crossover
Ethernet cable connection
 the automatic configuration of full-duplex operation over a
single Ethernet copper or optical cable
 the ability to turn a switch interface on or off accordingly if an
active connection is detected
Explanation: The auto-MDIX enables a switch to use a crossover or
a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a device
regardless of the device on the other end of the connection.
30. Refer to the exhibit. What is the destination MAC address of the Ethernet frame
as it leaves the web server if the final destination is PC1?

 00-60-2F-3A-07-AA
 00-60-2F-3A-07-BB
 00-60-2F-3A-07-CC
 00-60-2F-3A-07-DD
Explanation: The destination MAC address is used for local
delivery of Ethernet frames. The MAC (Layer 2) address changes
at each network segment along the path. As the frame leaves the
web server, it will be delivered by using the MAC address of the
default gateway.
31. A Layer 2 switch is used to switch incoming frames from a 1000BASE-T port to
a port connected to a 100Base-T network. Which method of memory buffering
would work best for this task?
 port-based buffering
 level 1 cache buffering
 shared memory buffering
 fixed configuration buffering
Explanation: With shared memory buffering, the number of frames
stored in the buffer is restricted only by the of the entire memory
buffer and not limited to a single port buffer. This permits larger
frames to be transmitted with fewer dropped frames. This is
important to asymmetric switching, which applies to this
scenario, where frames are being exchanged between ports of
different rates. With port-based memory buffering, frames are
stored in queues that are linked to specific incoming and
outgoing ports making it possible for a single frame to delay the
transmission of all the frames in memory because of a busy
destination port. Level 1 cache is memory used in a CPU. Fixed
configuration refers to the port arrangement in switch hardware.

32. What are two examples of the cut-through switching method?

(Choose two.)
 store-and-forward switching
 fast-forward switching
 CRC switching
 fragment-free switching
 QOS switching
Explanation: Store-and forward switching accepts the entire frame
and performs error checking using CRC before forwarding the
frame. Store-and-forward is often required for QOS analysis. Fast-
forward and fragment-free are both variations of the cut-through
switching method where only part of the frame is received before
the switch begins to forward it.

33. Which frame forwarding method receives the entire frame and
performs a CRC check to detect errors before forwarding the
frame?
 cut-through switching
 store-and-forward switching
 fragment-free switching
 fast-forward switching
 Explanation: Fast-forward and fragment-free switching are
variations of cut-through switching, which begins to forward the
frame before the entire frame is received.
34. What is the purpose of the FCS field in a frame?
 to obtain the MAC address of the sending node
 to verify the logical address of the sending node
 to compute the CRC header for the data field
 to determine if errors occurred in the transmission and reception
Explanation: The FCS field in a frame is used to detect any errors
in the transmission and receipt of a frame. This is done by
comparing the CRC value within the frame against a computed
CRC value of the frame. If the two values do not match, then the
frame is discarded.
35. Which switching method has the lowest level of latency?
 cut-through
 store-and-forward
 fragment-free
 fast-forward
Explanation: Fast-forward switching begins to forward a frame
after reading the destination MAC address, resulting in the
lowest latency. Fragment-free reads the first 64 bytes before
forwarding. Store-and-forward has the highest latency because it
reads the entire frame before beginning to forward it. Both
fragment-free and fast-forward are types of cut-through
switching.
36. A network administrator is connecting two modern switches using a straight-
through cable. The switches are new and have never been configured. Which three
statements are correct about the final result of the connection? (Choose three.)
 The link between the switches will work at the fastest speed that is supported by
both switches.
 The link between switches will work as full-duplex.
 If both switches support different speeds, they will each work
at their own fastest speed.
 The auto-MDIX feature will configure the interfaces eliminating the need for a
crossover cable.
 The connection will not be possible unless the administrator
changes the cable to a crossover cable.
 The duplex capability has to be manually configured because it
cannot be negotiated.
Explanation: Modern switches can negotiate to work in full-duplex
mode if both switches are capable. They will negotiate to work
using the fastest possible speed and the auto-MDIX feature is
enabled by default, so a cable change is not needed.
37. Which advantage does the store-and-forward switching method have compared
with the cut-through switching method?
 collision detecting
 frame error checking
 faster frame forwarding
 frame forwarding using IPv4 Layer 3 and 4 information
Explanation: A switch using the store-and-forward switching
method performs an error check on an incoming frame by
comparing the FCS value against its own FCS calculations after
the entire frame is received. In comparison, a switch using the
cut-through switching method makes quick forwarding decisions
and starts the forwarding process without waiting for the entire
frame to be received. Thus a switch using cut-through switching
may send invalid frames to the network. The performance of
store-and-forward switching is slower compared to cut-through
switching performance. Collision detection is monitored by the
sending device. Store-and-forward switching does not use IPv4
Layer 3 and 4 information for its forwarding decisions.
38. When the store-and-forward method of switching is in use, what part of the
Ethernet frame is used to perform an error check?
 CRC in the trailer
 source MAC address in the header
 destination MAC address in the header
 protocol type in the header
Explanation: The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) part of the trailer
is used to determine if the frame has been modified during
transit. If the integrity of the frame is verified, the frame is
forwarded. If the integrity of the frame cannot be verified, then
the frame is dropped.
 39. Which switching method uses the CRC value in a frame?
 cut-through
 fast-forward
 fragment-free
 store-and-forward
Explanation: When the store-and-forward switching method is
used, the switch receives the complete frame before forwarding
it on to the destination. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) part
of the trailer is used to determine if the frame has been modified
during transit. In contrast, a cut-through switch forwards the
frame once the destination Layer 2 address is read. Two types of
cut-through switching methods are fast-forward and fragment-
free.
40. What are two actions performed by a Cisco switch? (Choose two.)
 building a routing table that is based on the first IP address in
the frame header
 using the source MAC addresses of frames to build and maintain a MAC address
table
 forwarding frames with unknown destination IP addresses to
the default gateway
 utilizing the MAC address table to forward frames via the destination MAC
address
 examining the destination MAC address to add new entries to
the MAC address table
Explanation: Important actions that a switch performs are as
follows:
 When a frame comes in, the switch examines the Layer 2
source address to build and maintain the Layer 2 MAC address
table.
 It examines the Layer 2 destination address to determine how
to forward the frame. When the destination address is in the
MAC address table, then the frame is sent out a particular port.
When the address is unknown, the frame is sent to all ports
that have devices connected to that network.
41. Which two statements describe features or functions of the logical link control
sublayer in Ethernet standards? (Choose two.)
 Logical link control is implemented in software.
 Logical link control is specified in the IEEE 802.3 standard.
 The LLC sublayer adds a header and a trailer to the data.
 The data link layer uses LLC to communicate with the upper layers of the
protocol suite.
 The LLC sublayer is responsible for the placement and retrieval
of frames on and off the media.
Explanation: Logical link control is implemented in software and
enables the data link layer to communicate with the upper layers
of the protocol suite. Logical link control is specified in the IEEE
802.2 standard. IEEE 802.3 is a suite of standards that define the
different Ethernet types. The MAC (Media Access Control)
sublayer is responsible for the placement and retrieval of frames
on and off the media. The MAC sublayer is also responsible for
adding a header and a trailer to the network layer protocol data
unit (PDU).
42. What is the auto-MDIX feature?
 It enables a device to automatically configure an interface to use a straight-
through or a crossover cable.
 It enables a device to automatically configure the duplex
settings of a segment.
 It enables a device to automatically configure the speed of its
interface.
 It enables a switch to dynamically select the forwarding
method.
Explanation: The auto-MDIX feature allows the device to configure
its network port according to the cable type that is used
(straight-through or crossover) and the type of device that is
connected to that port. When a port of a switch is configured
with auto-MDIX, this switch can be connected to another switch
by the use of either a straight-through cable or a crossover cable.

43. What is one advantage of using the cut-through switching

method instead of the store-and-forward switching method?
 has a positive impact on bandwidth by dropping most of the
invalid frames
 makes a fast forwarding decision based on the source MAC
address of the frame
 has a lower latency appropriate for high-performance computing applications
 provides the flexibility to support any mix of Ethernet speeds
Explanation: Cut-through switching provides lower latency
switching for high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
Cut-through switching allows more invalid frames to cross the
network than store-and-forward switching. The cut-through
switching method can make a forwarding decision as soon as it
looks up the destination MAC address of the frame.
44. Which is a multicast MAC address?
 FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
 5C-26-0A-4B-19-3E
 01-00-5E-00-00-03
 00-26-0F-4B-00-3E
45. Refer to the exhibit. What is wrong with the displayed termination?

 The woven copper braid should not have been removed.

 The wrong type of connector is being used.
 The untwisted length of each wire is too long.
 The wires are too thick for the connector that is used.
Explanation: When a cable to an RJ-45 connector is terminated, it
is important to ensure that the untwisted wires are not too long
and that the flexible plastic sheath surrounding the wires is
crimped down and not the bare wires. None of the colored wires
should be visible from the bottom of the jack.
 46. Refer to the exhibit. The PC is connected to the console port of the switch. All
the other connections are made through FastEthernet links. Which types of UTP
cables can be used to connect the devices?

 1 – rollover, 2 – crossover, 3 – straight-through

 1 – rollover, 2 – straight-through, 3 – crossover
 1 – crossover, 2 – straight-through, 3 – rollover
 1 – crossover, 2 – rollover, 3 – straight-through
Explanation: A straight-through cable is commonly used to
interconnect a host to a switch and a switch to a router. A
crossover cable is used to interconnect similar devices together
like switch to a switch, a host to a host, or a router to a router. If
a switch has the MDIX capability, a crossover could be used to
connect the switch to the router; however, that option is not
available. A rollover cable is used to connect to a router or
switch console port.

Which port does Switch0 use to send frames to the host with the
IPv4 address 10.1.1.5?
 Fa0/1
 Fa0/5
 Fa0/9
 Fa0/11
Explanation: Issuing the command ipconfig /all from the PC0
command prompt displays the IPv4 address and MAC address.
When the IPv4 address 10.1.1.5 is pinged from PC0, the switch
stores the source MAC address (from PC0) along with the port to
which PC0 is connected. When the destination reply is received,
the switch takes the destination MAC address and compares to
MAC addresses stored in the MAC address table. Issuing the show
mac-address-table on the PC0 Terminal application displays two
dynamic MAC address entries. The MAC address and port entry
that does not belong to PC0 must be the MAC address and port of
the destination with the IPv4 address 10.1.1.5.
48. What does the term “attenuation” mean in data communication?
 loss of signal strength as distance increases
 time for a signal to reach its destination
 leakage of signals from one cable pair to another
 strengthening of a signal by a networking device
Explanation: Data is transmitted on copper cables as electrical
pulses. A detector in the network interface of a destination
device must receive a signal that can be successfully decoded to
match the signal sent. However, the farther the signal travels,
the more it deteriorates. This is referred to as signal attenuation.
49. What makes fiber preferable to copper cabling for interconnecting buildings?
(Choose three.)
 greater distances per cable run
 lower installation cost
 limited susceptibility to EMI/RFI
 durable connections
 greater bandwidth potential
 easily terminated
Explanation: Optical fiber cable transmits data over longer
distances and at higher bandwidths than any other networking
media. Unlike copper wires, fiber-optic cable can transmit
signals with less attenuation and is completely immune to EMI
and RFI.
