Deck 10: Ethernet and Fibre Channel

Question 1

A broadcast recipient address means that all devices connected to the LAN are to receive the message.

Answer 1

True

Question 2

A MAC frame includes various bit patterns to enable a receiver to correctly recognize key parts of the information contained in the frame.

Answer 2

True

Question 3

Network topology refers to the way individual end stations access the network prior to transmission of user data.

Answer 3

False

Question 4

Every MAC frame must include two addresses,which allows an alternative receiver to be designated in the event an error occurs.

Question 5

The original commercial Ethernet,as well as the original IEEE 802.3 standard,operated at 100 Mps.

Question 6

In the MAC frame,the start of frame delimited (SFD)provides the receiver with the starting point of meaningful data in the frame.

Question 7

Which of the following LAN technologies has the highest capacity?

A)Ethernet
B)Fast Ethernet
C)Fibre Channel
D)Wireless LAN
E)Gigabit Ethernet

Question 8

A layer 3 switch is just another name for a router.

Question 9

Two general approaches to connecting multiple LANs are bridges and switches.

Question 10

Because of increased functionality of modern layer 2 switches,bridges have been replaced by these types of switches.

Question 11

Which of the following is not one for the speeds found in modern Ethernet LAN?

A)10 Mbps
B)100 Mbps
C)1 Gbps
D)10 Gbps
E)100 Gbps

Question 12

On a bus topology LAN,each station can send and receive data to or from another station independent of other bus activity.

Question 13

In general,the performance of a LAN declines with increased lengths of connections and/or the number of devices using it.
