Question 3
Question
Which of the following is true about Ethernet crossover cables?
Answer
Pins 1 and 2 are reversed on the other end of the cable.
Pins 1 and 2 on one end of the cable connect to pins 3 and 6 on the other end of the cable.
Pins 1 and 2 on one end of the cable connect to pins 3 and 4 on the other end of the cable.

Answer
PC and router
PC and switch
Hub and switch
Router and hub
Wireless access point (Ethernet port) and switch
Question 5
Question
Which of the following is true about the CSMA/CD algorithm?
Answer
The algorithm never allows collisions to occur
Collisions can happen, but the algorithm defines how the computers should notice a collision and how to recover
The algorithm works with only two devices on the same Ethernet
None of the other answers is correct
Question 6
Question
Which of the following is a collision domain?
Answer
All devices connected to an Ethernet hub
All devices connected to an Ethernet switch
Two PCs, with one cabled to a router Ethernet port with a crossover cable and the other PC cabled to another router Ethernet port with a crossover cable
None of the other answers is correct
Question 7
Question
Which of the following describe a shortcoming of using hubs that is improved by instead using switches? (Choose two answers.)
Answer
Hubs create a single electrical bus to which all devices connect, causing the devices to share the bandwidth
Hubs limit the maximum cable length of individual cables (relative to switches)
Hubs allow collisions to occur when two attached devices send data at the same
time
Hubs restrict the number of physical ports to at most eight
Question 8
Question
Which of the following terms describe Ethernet addresses that can be used to communicate with more than one device at a time? (Choose two answers.)
Answer
Burned-in address
Unicast address
Broadcast address
Multicast address
Question 9
Question
Which of the following is one of the functions of OSI Layer 2 protocols?
Answer
Framing
Delivery of bits from one device to another
Error recovery
Defining the size and shape of Ethernet cards
Question 10
Question
Which of the following are true about the format of Ethernet addresses? (Choose three answers.)
Answer
Each manufacturer puts a unique code into the first 2 bytes of the address
Each manufacturer puts a unique code into the first 3 bytes of the address
Each manufacturer puts a unique code into the first half of the address
The part of the address that holds this manufacturer’s code is called the MAC
The part of the address that holds this manufacturer’s code is called the OUI
The part of the address that holds this manufacturer’s code has no specific name
Question 11
Question
Which of the following is true about the Ethernet FCS field?
Answer
It is used for error recovery
It is 2 bytes long
It resides in the Ethernet trailer, not the Ethernet header
