 flow control
* encapsulation
encoding
 multicasting
 access method

2)

 Refer to the graphic. Five PCs are connected through a hub. If host H1 wants to reply to a message from host H2, which statement is true?
* H1 sends a unicast message to H2, but the hub forwards it to all devices.
H1 sends a unicast message to H2, and the hub forwards it directly to H2.
 H1 sends a broadcast message to H2, and the hub forwards it to all devices.
 H1 sends a multicast message to H2, and the hub forwards it directly to H2.

3)
 
Which two statements concerning networking standards are true? (Choose two.)
 adds complexity to networks
 encourages vendors to create proprietary protocols
* provides consistent interconnections across networks
ensures that communications work best in a single-vendor environment
* simplifies new product development

4)
 
What does the 100 mean when referencing the 100BASE-T Ethernet standard?
 type of cable used
 type of data transmission
* speed of transmission
type of connector required
 maximum length of cable allowed

5)
 
Which address does an NIC use when deciding whether to accept a frame?
 source IP address
 source MAC address
 destination IP address
* destination MAC address
source Ethernet address

6)
 
Which type of address is used in an Ethernet frame header?
 logical addresses only
 IP addresses only
* MAC addresses only
broadcast addresses only

7)
hat is the function of the FCS field in an Ethernet frame?
* detects transmission errors
 provides timing for transmission
 contains the start of frame delimiter
 indicates which protocol will receive the frame

8)
 
What is the purpose of logical addresses in an IP network?
 They identify a specific NIC on a host device.
 They are used to determine which host device accepts the frame.
 They provide vendor-specific information about the host.
* They are used to determine the network that the host is located on.
They are used by switches to make forwarding decisions.

9)
 
Which device accepts a message on one port and always forwards the message to all other ports?
 modem
 switch
 router
* hub

10)
 
Which two networking devices are used to connect hosts to the access layer? (Choose two.)
 router
* hub
* switch
 server
 computer

11)
 
Host A needs to learn the MAC address of Host B, which is on the same LAN segment. A message has been sent to all the hosts on the segment asking for the MAC address of Host B. Host B responds with its MAC address and all other hosts disregard the request. What protocol was used in this scenario?
* ARP
DHCP
 DNS
 WINS

12)
 
A switch receives a frame with a destination MAC address that is currently not in the MAC table. What action does the switch perform?
 It drops the frame.
 It sends out an ARP request looking for the MAC address.
* It floods the frame out of all active ports, except the origination port.
It returns the frame to the sender.

13)
 
What is a benefit of having a router within the distribution layer?
 prevents collisions on a local network
* keeps broadcasts contained within a local network
controls which hosts have access to the network
 controls host-to-host traffic within a single local network

14)

 Refer to the graphic. What does the router do after it determines that a data packet from Network 1 should be forwarded to Network 2?
 It sends the data packet as it was received.
* It reassembles the frame with different MAC addresses than the original frame.
It reassembles the data packet with different IP addresses than the original data packet.
 It reassembles both the packet and the frame with different destination IP and MAC addresses.

15)
 
Which table does a router use to make decisions on where a data packet is to be sent?
 ARP table
* routing table
network table
 forwarding table

16)
 
If the default gateway is configured incorrectly on the host, what is the impact on communications?
 The host is unable to communicate on the local network.
* The host can communicate with other hosts on the local network, but is unable to communicate with hosts on remote networks.
The host can communicate with other hosts on remote networks, but is unable to communicate with hosts on the local network.
 There is no impact on communications.

17)
 
What device is typically used as the default gateway for a computer?
 a server hosted by the ISP
* the router interface closest to the computer
a server managed by a central IT department
 the switch interface that connects to the computer

18)
 
If a router receives a packet that it does not know how to forward, what type of route must be configured on the router to prevent the router from dropping it?
 dynamic route
* default route
destination route
 default destination

19)
 
Which two items are included in a network logical map? (Choose two.)
* naming scheme
* IP addressing scheme
length of cable runs
 physical location of networking devices
 specific layout of interconnections between networking devices and hosts

20)
 
An integrated router can normally perform the functions of which two other network devices? (Choose two.)
 NIC
* switch
 e-mail server
 application server
* wireless access point

21)
  
What is a reason for disabling simple file sharing?
 It enables the user to map a remote resource with a local drive.
 It enables the user to share all files with all users and groups.
 It enables the user to share printers.
* It enables the user to set more specific security access levels.
