Routers process ________ by examining layer 3 addressing information
- A.
Frames
- B.
Bits
- C.
Datagrams
- D.
Information
Correct Answer
C. DatagramsExplanation
Routers process datagrams by examining layer 3 addressing information. Routers are network devices that operate at the network layer of the OSI model. They receive packets (datagrams) from one network and determine the best path to forward them to the destination network based on the layer 3 addressing information, such as IP addresses. Routers make decisions based on this addressing information to efficiently route the packets to their intended destinations.Rate this question:

Which type of frame processing is the fastest, but least reliable.
- A.
Store and forward
- B.
Cut-through
- C.
Modified cut-through
Correct Answer
B. Cut-throughExplanation
Cut-through frame processing is the fastest method as it starts forwarding the frame as soon as the destination address is received, without waiting for the complete frame. However, it is also the least reliable method as it doesn't perform any error checking before forwarding the frame. This means that if there are any errors in the frame, they will be propagated to the destination, potentially causing data corruption.Rate this question:
-
- 6.
Which type of frame processing is the most common:
- A.
Cut through
- B.
Modified cut through
- C.
Store and forward
Correct Answer
B. Modified cut throughExplanation
Modified cut through is the most common type of frame processing. In modified cut through, the switch begins forwarding the frame before it has been fully received, only after examining the destination address. This type of processing offers a balance between low latency and error checking, as it quickly forwards frames while still being able to detect and discard frames with errors. This approach is commonly used in modern networking switches to optimize performance while maintaining data integrity.Rate this question:
-
- 7.
Which type of frame processing is the most reliable, but slowest.
- A.
Cut-through
- B.
Store-and-forward
- C.
Modified cut-through
Correct Answer
B. Store-and-forwardExplanation
Store-and-forward frame processing is the most reliable but slowest method. In this method, the switch receives the entire frame before forwarding it to the destination. It checks the frame for errors, discards any corrupted frames, and only forwards error-free frames. This process ensures that the destination receives the complete and error-free frame, making it the most reliable method. However, because the switch has to wait for the entire frame before forwarding, it introduces additional latency, making it the slowest method compared to cut-through and modified cut-through processing.Rate this question:

What is used to describe the amount of time it takes a port or switch to process a frame
- A.
Flow control
- B.
Latency
- C.
Rise time
- D.
Forwarding time
Correct Answer
B. LatencyExplanation
Latency is the correct answer because it refers to the amount of time it takes for a port or switch to process a frame. It is a measure of the delay or time lag experienced in data transmission. Latency can be affected by various factors such as network congestion, distance, and processing capabilities of the devices involved. By understanding and minimizing latency, network administrators can optimize the efficiency and performance of their networks.Rate this question:

If a hub generates frames faster than the switch port can forward them, the switch can stop hub transmission by generating one or more false collision signals. This method is called:
- A.
Error stopping
- B.
Backpressure
- C.
Rate control
- D.
Bit sequencing
Correct Answer
B. BackpressureExplanation
Backpressure is a method used by a switch to stop a hub from transmitting frames faster than the switch port can handle. The switch generates false collision signals, which causes the hub to back off and stop transmitting temporarily. This technique helps to regulate the flow of data and prevent congestion in the network.Rate this question:

Select the true statements about a switch
- A.
Can also be called a multiport bridge
- B.
Creates multiple collision domains
- C.
Creates a single collision domain
- D.
Creates multiple broadcast domains
- E.
Creates a single broadcast domain
Correct Answer(s)
A. Can also be called a multiport bridge
B. Creates multiple collision domains
E. Creates a single broadcast domainExplanation
A switch can also be called a multiport bridge because it operates at the data link layer and connects multiple devices together. It creates multiple collision domains because each port on the switch has its own separate collision domain, which helps to reduce collisions and improve network performance. However, a switch creates a single broadcast domain because it forwards broadcast packets to all connected devices.Rate this question:

A port on a switch can be described as a ___________ connection
- A.
Shared
- B.
Dedicated
- C.
Balanced
Correct Answer
B. DedicatedExplanation
A port on a switch can be described as a dedicated connection because it is exclusively assigned to a single device. This means that the bandwidth and resources of the port are dedicated solely to that device, ensuring a consistent and reliable connection without any interference or competition from other devices.Rate this question:
-
- 14.
A port on a hub is referred to as a ___________ connection
- A.
Dedicated
- B.
Shared
Correct Answer
B. SharedExplanation
A port on a hub is referred to as a shared connection because in a hub, all the ports are connected to a single shared network. This means that the bandwidth and resources of the network are shared among all the devices connected to the hub. Any data transmitted through one port is broadcasted to all other ports, which can lead to collisions and slower transmission speeds. Therefore, a port on a hub is considered a shared connection.Rate this question:

B. Quality of service (QoS) capableExplanation
For an organizational network to support voice applications, it must be capable of providing quality of service (QoS). QoS ensures that voice traffic is prioritized and given sufficient bandwidth, low latency, and minimal packet loss to maintain a high level of call quality. Without QoS capabilities, voice applications may suffer from poor audio quality, delays, and dropped calls, making it essential for the network to prioritize voice traffic over other types of data. Packet switching, VLAN capability, and convergence are also important for efficient network communication, but QoS is specifically required for supporting voice applications.Rate this question:
