1
Which statements are true concerning the shared memory
buffering used by an Ethernet switch? (Choose two.)
Frames are processed through a single queue.
All frames are placed in a common memory buffer.
Frames are placed in a queue for the destination port.
A port with a full memory buffer can cause frames for
available ports to be delayed.
Each switch port is statically assigned a buffer of equal size.

2
What are the functions of routers? (Choose three.)
improving network performance by increasing latency
by twenty to thirty percent
segmenting broadcast domains
forwarding packets based on destination network layer
addresses
segmenting collision domains
forwarding packets as soon as the destination MAC address
is read
developing routing table entries based on source IP addresses

3
What are the functions of a Layer 2 Ethernet switch? (Choose three.)
preventing broadcasts
increasing available bandwidth per user
decreasing the size of collision domains
isolating traffic among segments
routing traffic between different networks
decreasing the number of broadcast domains

4
Why does a switch have higher throughput compared to a bridge?
Switching occurs in software.
Switching occurs in hardware.
Switches create multiple broadcast domains.
Switches segment LANs.

5
Why would a network administrator segment a network with a
Layer 2 switch? (Choose two.)
to create fewer collision domains
to enhance user bandwidth
to create more broadcast domains
to eliminate virtual circuits
to isolate traffic between segments
to isolate ARP request messages from the rest of the network

F

7
Hubs are concerned with which PDU?
bits
frames
packets
datagrams

8
Which statements are true regarding hubs? (Choose three.)
Hubs operate at Layer 1 of the OSI model.
They create separate collision domains.
Signals are distributed through all ports.
Layer 2 addresses are used to make decisions.
They calculate the CRC for each frame received prior to
forwarding.
Bandwidth is shared among all connected users.

9
Which device provides segmentation within a single network?
hub
server
switch
transceiver

Refer to the graphic. Which point in the frame must be reached
before it is forwarded by a switch that is using fast-forward mode?
A
B
C
D
E
F

12
Which switching mode changes to store-and-forward mode after
it detects a given number of errors?
cut-through
adaptive fast-forward
fragment-free
adaptive cut-through

13
Which form of buffering is used by bridges?
cut-through
fragment-free
fast-forward
store-and-forward

14
Where are switching tables stored in a Cisco LAN switch?
ROM
CAM
Flash
SIMM
NRAM

15
Which of the following are true regarding the addition of switches
to a network? (Choose two.)
They increase the number of collision domains.
They decrease the number of collision domains.
They increase the number of broadcast domains.
They decrease the number of broadcast domains.
They increase the amount of bandwidth available to users.
They decrease the amount of bandwidth available to users.

16
Which of the following is used to build a switching table?
source IP addresses
destination IP addresses
destination MAC addresses
source MAC addresses

17
Which statements describe asymmetric switching? (Choose three.)
It uses data compression algorithms to manage higher
bandwidth interfaces.
It is often used to provide high bandwidth uplinks for a
number of lower bandwidth client interfaces.
It provides connections between network segments that
operate at different bandwidths.
It uses cut-through forwarding when going from a lower
bandwidth to a higher bandwidth interface.
It is used to provide more bandwidth to network clients
than to backbone or server links.
It may require buffering frames before forwarding to the
destination interface.

18
What does switch latency describe?
forwarding method used by a switch
time it takes for a frame to be received by a switch
improvement in network performance from using a switch
time delay between when a frame enters and exits a switch
increase in the size of a collision domain from using a switch

19
How does an Ethernet bridge handle an incoming frame?
(Choose three.)
The source MAC address and input interface pair are added
to the bridging table.
The destination MAC address and input interface pair are
added to the bridging table.
If no match to the destination MAC address is found in the
bridging table, the frame is discarded.
If no match to the destination MAC address is found in the
bridging table, the frame is flooded out all other interfaces.
If a match to the destination MAC address is found in the
bridging table, the frame is forwarded out the associated
interface.
If a match to the source MAC address is found in the bridging
table, the frame is forwarded to all ports.

20
Which attribute is used by a bridge to make forwarding decisions?
source IP address
source MAC address
destination IP address
destination MAC address
Layer 4-7 protocol address
