Question 1

An association indicates that the destination address is for a networking device connected to one of the hub ports.

Accepted Answer

An association typically refers to a relationship or link between data sets, objects, or entities in various contexts, not specifically to a networking device's connection to a hub port. In networking, a hub broadcasts data to all its ports without establishing a dedicated path or association to a specific destination address.

Question 2

Which of the following terms is used to describe that the MAC address is assigned when a host is connected?&#10;A)ARP assignment&#10;B)DHCP assignments&#10;C)Dynamic assignment&#10;D)Static assignment

Accepted Answer

Dynamic assignment refers to the process where a MAC address is assigned to a device dynamically when it connects to a network. Unlike static assignment, which is fixed and manually configured, dynamic assignment allows for flexible and automatic configuration of device addresses.

Question 3

Which of the following terms is used to describe that a MAC address has been manually assigned?&#10;A)Dynamic assignment&#10;B)ARP assignment&#10;C)DHCP assignment&#10;D)Static assignment

Accepted Answer

Static assignment is the term used to describe when a MAC address has been manually set, as opposed to being automatically assigned by a network service or protocol.

Question 4

A broadcast can cause a network slow-down.

Accepted Answer

Broadcasts can lead to network slow-down because they are sent to all devices on a network, causing each device to process the broadcast packet, which can consume bandwidth and processing resources, leading to potential congestion and reduced network performance.

Question 5

The list of MAC addresses and port locations for hosts connected to the bridge ports is called an association table.

Accepted Answer

The list of MAC addresses and port locations for hosts connected to the bridge ports is called a MAC address table or CAM table (Content Addressable Memory), not an association table.

Question 6

A temporary storage of MAC addresses recently contacted is called which of the following? (Select all that apply.)&#10;A)ARP cache&#10;B)ARP file&#10;C)RARP cache&#10;D)ARP table

Accepted Answer

The ARP cache and ARP table both refer to the temporary storage of MAC addresses that have been recently contacted.

Question 7

A multicast is characterized by which of the following? (Select all that apply.)&#10;A)It uses Class D addressing.&#10;B)It uses class C addressing.&#10;C)It is used when messages are sent to a specific group of networking devices.&#10;D)None of these answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

Multicast uses Class D addressing, which is specifically reserved for multicast groups. It is used to send messages to a specific group of devices rather than to all devices on a network.

Question 8

The logical address is another name for a MAC address.

Accepted Answer

A logical address refers to an IP address, which is used at the network layer to identify a network interface, while a MAC address is a physical address used at the data link layer to identify a physical network interface.

Question 9

What is the purpose of the secure tab on a switch?&#10;A)The switchport will use port discovery to assign a MAC address to the port.&#10;B)The switchport will automatically disable itself if a device with a different MAC address connects to the port.&#10;C)The switchport will use a different MAC address than the one connected to the port and will automatically enable itself.&#10;D)This enables the switch to select which networking devices have a selectable IP address.

Accepted Answer

The secure tab or port security feature on a switch allows the switch to restrict input to an interface by limiting and identifying MAC addresses of the workstations that are allowed to access the port. When a device with a different MAC address tries to connect to the port, the port can automatically disable itself to prevent unauthorized access, which is described in option B.

Question 10

Which of the following devices interconnects two LANs running the same type of networking protocol?&#10;A)Protocol bridge&#10;B)Transparent switch&#10;C)Transparent bridge&#10;D)Protocol hub

Accepted Answer

A transparent bridge is used to connect two LANs that are using the same networking protocol, allowing them to communicate as if they were a single network. It operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, forwarding frames based on MAC addresses.

Question 11

The AUI port is used to connect which of the following? (Select all that apply.)&#10;A)100Mbps Ethernet&#10;B)10Mbps Ethernet&#10;C)1000Mbps Ethernet&#10;D)All of these answers are correct.&#10;E)None of these answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The AUI port is used to connect...

Question 12

The network address is another name for a layer 4 address.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The network address is another name for...

Question 13

What is the length of time an IP address is assigned to a switchport called?&#10;A)Delay time&#10;B)Enable time&#10;C)Aging time&#10;D)Access time

Accepted Answer

The answer of What is the length of time an...
