Question 1

Question
Which one of the following answers is most accurate about the cabling of a typical modern Ethernet LAN?
Answer
  • Connect each device in series using coaxial cabling
  • Connect each device in series using UTP cabling
  • Connect each device to a centralized LAN hub using UTP cabling
  • Connect each device to a centralized LAN switch using UTP cabling

Question 2

Question
Which of the following is true about the cabling of a 10BASE2 Ethernet LAN?
Answer
  • Connect each device in series using coaxial cabling
  • Connect each device in series using UTP cabling
  • Connect each device to a centralized LAN hub using UTP cabling
  • Connect each device to a centralized LAN switch using UTP cabling

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.
  • The cable can be up to 1000 meters long to cross over between buildings.
  • None of the other answers is correct

Question 4

Question
Each answer lists two types of devices used in a 100BASE-TX network. If these devices were connected with UTP Ethernet cables, which pairs of devices would require a straight-through cable? (Choose three answers.)
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
  • It is used for encryption
  • None of the other answers is correct
