1
Which attribute is used by a bridge to make forwarding decisions?
source IP address
source MAC address
destination IP address
destination MAC address
Layer 4-7 protocol address
2
What is the effect of adding additional hosts to a half-duplex Ethernet network? (Choose three.)
collisions increase
collisions decrease
jam signals increase
jam signals decrease
throughput decreases
throughput increases
3
How does an Ethernet bridge handle an incoming frame? (Choose three.)
The source MAC address and input interface pair are added to the bridging table.
The destination MAC address and input interface pair are added to the bridging table.
If no match to the destination MAC address is found in the bridging table, the frame is discarded.
If no match to the destination MAC address is found in the bridging table, the frame is flooded out all other interfaces.
If a match to the destination MAC address is found in the bridging table, the frame is forwarded out the associated interface.
If a match to the source MAC address is found in the bridging table, the frame is forwarded to all ports.
4
Which of the following is used to build a switching table?
source IP addresses
destination IP addresses
destination MAC addresses
source MAC addresses
5
After a collision occurs on a half-duplex Ethernet network, how does a transmitting host proceed? (Choose two.)
It does not stop transmitting.
It listens to determine if the network is in use before attempting to retransmit.
It resumes transmitting while the jam signal clears the wire.
It resumes transmitting based on the NIC back-off algorithm.
It will take priority and be the first host to transmit after the collision.
6
Which statements describe asymmetric switching? (Choose three.)
It uses data compression algorithms to manage higher bandwidth interfaces.
It is often used to provide high bandwidth uplinks for a number of lower bandwidth client interfaces.
It provides connections between network segments that operate at different bandwidths.
It uses cut-through forwarding when going from a lower bandwidth to a higher bandwidth interface.
It is used to provide more bandwidth to network clients than to backbone or server links.
It may require buffering frames before forwarding to the destination interface.
7
Which statements are true concerning the shared memory buffering used by an Ethernet switch? (Choose two.)
Frames are processed through a single queue.
All frames are placed in a common memory buffer.
Frames are placed in a queue for the destination port.
A port with a full memory buffer can cause frames for available ports to be delayed.
Each switch port is statically assigned a buffer of equal size.
8
Which statements are true regarding hubs? (Choose three.)
Hubs operate at Layer 1 of the OSI model.
They create separate collision domains.
Signals are distributed through all ports.
Layer 2 addresses are used to make decisions.
They calculate the CRC for each frame received prior to forwarding.
Bandwidth is shared among all connected users.
9
What are the functions of routers? (Choose three.)
improving network performance by increasing latency by twenty to thirty percent
segmenting broadcast domains
forwarding packets based on destination network layer addresses
segmenting collision domains
forwarding packets as soon as the destination MAC address is read
developing routing table entries based on source IP addresses
10
Which of the following devices use physical addresses to make forwarding decisions? (Choose two.)

bridge
router
switch
concentrator
multi-port repeater
11
Which form of buffering is used by bridges?
cut-through
fragment-free
fast-forward
store-and-forward
12
Switching may be implemented to improve the performance of which of the following networking technologies? (Choose three.)
Ethernet 10BASE-T
Ethernet 10BASE2
FDDI
Token Ring
EIA-232
13
Hubs are concerned with which PDU?
bits
