Question 5

____ are combinations of networking hardware and software that connect two dissimilar kinds of networks.
A) Routers
B) Switches
C) Gateways
D) Broadcast domains

Accepted Answer

Routers connect similar kinds of networks, switches connect devices within a network, and broadcast domains refer to the extent of a network's broadcast transmission. Gateways, however, are specifically designed to connect two dissimilar kinds of networks, allowing them to communicate and share data.

Question 11

A ____ is a multiport connectivity device that directs data between nodes on a network.
A) switch
B) bridge
C) router
D) gateway

Accepted Answer

The answer of A ____ is a multiport connectivity device...

Question 12

Switches can create ____ by grouping a number of ports into a broadcast domain.
A) trunks
B) spanning trees
C) gateways
D) VLANs

Accepted Answer

Switches create VLANs by grouping a number of ports into a broadcast domain, allowing for better network traffic management and security segmentation. Trunks are used to carry traffic between switches, spanning trees prevent loops in the network, and gateways connect different networks together. However, neither of these options refers to the grouping of ports into a broadcast domain, which is the definition of a VLAN.

Question 14

Switches that operate anywhere between Layer 4 and Layer 7 are also known as ____ switches.
A) peripheral
B) STP
C) content
D) multiport

Accepted Answer

Switches that operate between Layer 4 and Layer 7 are known as content switches. These switches are also called application switches or Layer 7 switches because they can look at the application-level data in network traffic. They can make forwarding decisions based on factors such as server availability, server load, or specific content requests.

Question 16

____ routing is a technique in which a network administrator programs a router to use specific paths between nodes.
A) Static
B) Dynamic
C) Best path
D) Link-state

Accepted Answer

Static routing is a technique in which a network administrator programs a router in advance to use specific paths between nodes. This can be useful in situations where the network topology is not expected to change frequently, as it is more simple to configure and does not require constant updates.

Question 18

To eliminate the possibility of a broadcast storm,switches and bridges implement the ____.
A) RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
B) STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)
C) BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)
D) OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol

Accepted Answer

To eliminate the possibility of a broadcast storm, switches and bridges implement the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). STP ensures that there are no loops in the network topology by blocking redundant links and allowing only one active path between any two network devices. This prevents packets from endlessly circulating and causing a broadcast storm. RIP, BGP, and OSPF are all routing protocols used to determine paths for data to travel between networks, and do not directly address the issue of broadcast storms.
