Task 703

What is the main purpose of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in a network?

• To improve network security

• To prevent network loops

• To enhance network speed

• To enable VLANS

Which switch feature allows multiple VLANs to pass over a single link?

• Port Mirroring

• Trunking

• PoE

• STP

What is the purpose of Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

• To prevent network loops

• To transmit data at higher speeds

• To supply electrical power over network cables

• To create virtual LANs

Which of the following best describes port mirroring?

• Creating separate broadcast domains

• Copying traffic from one port to another for monitoring

• Enabling multiple VLANs on one link

• Allowing devices to communicate within the same VLAN

Which protocol is used to prevent broadcast storms by avoiding redundant paths in a network?

• VLAN

• PoE

• Tranking

• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

What does VLAN stand for, and what is its primary function?

• Virtual LAN, isolates traffic within a logical group

• Virtual Link Aggregation Network, connects multiple links

• Verified LAN, provides enhanced security

• Virtual LAN, merges all broadcast domains

In port-based network access control, which protocol is commonly used for port authentication?

• STP

• 802.1X

• VLAN

• PoE

When using trunking, what does the swtich do with traffic from multiple VLANs?

• Blocks it to prevent loops

• Assigns it to separate physical links

• Tags it with VLAN IDs for transport over one link

• Mirrors it to monitor traffic

Which feature allows a switch to deliver both power and data to a device like a VoIP phone or security camera?

• Port Mirroring

• VLAN

• PoE

• Trunking

What does STP do when it detects a change in the network topology?

• It disables PoE on affected ports

• It recalculates paths to prevent loops

• To disables all VLANs

• It initiates port mirroring
