You are a networking student, and you are explaining to a classmate the characteristics of a NIC. Which of the following are NIC characteristics?

• NICs operates at the Data Link Layer

• NICs is embedded with a physical address

• NICs can be used to connect wired and wireless transmission media to a host

• NICs can only be found in a PC

Zayne is experiencing issues with his laptop. He submits a help ticket to the IT department and describes the following problems: intermittent connectivity and slow network speeds. What is the IT technician most likely to troubleshoot on Zayne's laptop?

• The monitor

• The keyboard

• The motherboard

• The network interface card

Which of the following components are modular transceivers used to terminate multiple types of cable and connector types?

• (MTP) Multi-fiber Termination Push on

• (SFP) Small Form Factor Pluggable

• Multi-mode cable

• Single mode cable

Which of the following is a data link protocol used to manage the creation, modification and deletion of VLANs and the propagation the VLAN database?

• (VTP) Virtual Trunking Protocol

• Root Bridge

• Designated Port

• (STP) Spanning Tree Protocol

Match the following

• Management VLAN

• This VLAN prioritizes telecommunication network traffic for latency and high quality.

• Default VLAN

• This VLAN handles untagged traffic on trunk ports

• Voice VLAN

• This VLAN manages network devices and services

• Native VLAN

• This VLAN has all ports are assigned to it by default.

1. A switch will flood all the interface ports on a switch, if this MAC address is not in the forward/filter table.  Note: First letter in answer should be capitalized.

A network administrator is configuring VLANs on a single switch with devices connected to VLAN 10, VLAN 20, and VLAN 30. What is the primary advantage of configuring VLANs?

• Reduces the number of devices connected to the switch

• Improves the speed of network traffic

• Segment broadcast domains and improves security

• Increases the number of available IP addresses

Two connected switches have been configured with VLAN 10 and VLAN 20. What’s the most efficient way to ensure communication between devices in the same VLAN on separate switches?

• Use a direct cable connection for each VLAN

• Use a router to connect the two switches

• Use an 802.1Q trunk to connect the switches

• Configure a separate network for each VLAN

A device is connected to VLAN 20 on Switch A, and the administrator wants it to communicate with a device on VLAN 20 on Switch B. What happens to the Ethernet frame when it reaches the trunk link?

• The VLAN tag is added and sent across the trunk

• The VLAN tag is removed and the frame is sent to VLAN 200 on Switch B

• The frame is discarded

• The frame is sent with no changes

A network administrator has multiple VLANs configured on a switch, but a specific device needs to bypass the VLAN tagging. Which VLAN would be used for this traffic?

• Native VLAN

• Trunk VLAN

• Management VLAN

• Default VLAN
