1. | What type of RJ45 UTP cable is used between switches? |
|||||||
Answer: Option B Explanation: To connect two switches together, you would use a RJ45 UTP crossover cable. |
2. | Which of the following are unique characteristics of half-duplex Ethernet when compared to full-duplex Ethernet?
|
|||||||
Answer: Option C Explanation: Unlike full duplex, half-duplex Ethernet operates in a shared collision domain, and it has a lower effective throughput than full duplex. |
3. | When data is encapsulated, which is the correct order? |
|||||||
Answer: Option C Explanation: The encapsulation method is data, segment, packet, frame, bit. |
4. | Segmentation of a data stream happens at which layer of the OSI model? |
|||||||
Answer: Option D Explanation: The Transport layer receives large data streams from the upper layers and breaks these up into smaller pieces called segments. |
5. | How to implement a network medium that is not susceptible to EMI. Which type of cabling should you use? |
|||||||
Answer: Option D Explanation: Fiber-optic cable provides a more secure, long-distance cable that is not susceptible to EMI interference at high speeds. |
6. | What type of RJ45 UTP cable do you use to connect a PC's COM port to a router or switch console port? |
|||||||
Answer: Option D Explanation: To connect to a router or switch console port, you would use an RJ45 UTP rolled cable. |
7. | Which fields are contained within an IEEE Ethernet frame header?
|
|||||||
Answer: Option A Explanation: An Ethernet frame has source and destination MAC addresses, an Ether-Type field to identify the Network layer protocol, the data, and the FCS field that holds the answer to the CRC. |
8. | Acknowledgments, sequencing, and flow control are characteristics of which OSI layer? |
|||||||
Answer: Option C Explanation: A reliable Transport layer connection uses acknowledgments to make sure all data is transmitted and received reliably. A reliable connection is defined by a virtual circuit that uses acknowledgments, sequencing, and flow control, which are characteristics of the Transport layer (layer 4). |
