1.

What action does the ARP process take when a host needs to build a frame, but the ARP cache does not contain an address mapping?

a)

The ARP process sends out an ARP request to the IPv4 broadcast address to discover the MAC address of the destination device.

b)

The ARP process sends out an ARP request to the IPv4 broadcast address to discover the IPv4 address of the destination device.

c)

The ARP process sends out an ARP request to the Ethernet broadcast address to discover the IPv4 address of the destination device

d)

The ARP process sends out an ARP request to the Ethernet broadcast address to discover the MAC address of the destination device.

a)

megabits per second

b)

twists per meter

specifying the bandwidth of the channel or medium for each type of communication

b)

dictating the content of the message sent during communication

c)

providing the rules required for a specific type of communication to occur

13.

What will a Cisco LAN switch do if it receives an incoming frame and the destination MAC address is not listed in the MAC address table?

a)

Drop the frame.

b)

Use ARP to resolve the port that is related to the frame.

c)

Forward the frame out all ports except the port where the frame is received.

d)

Send the frame to the default gateway address.

14.

A small publishing company has a network design such that when a broadcast is sent on the LAN, 200 devices receive the transmitted broadcast. How can the network administrator reduce the number of devices that receive broadcast traffic?

a)

Segment the LAN into smaller LANs and route between them.

b)

Add more switches so that fewer devices are on a particular switch

c)

Replace at least half of the switches with hubs to reduce the size of the broadcast domain.

d)

Replace the switches with switches that have more ports per switch. This will allow more devices on a particular switch.

17.

A router receives an incoming packet and determines that the packet should be forwarded to a remote destination host. What will the router do to forward the packet?

a)

It encapsulates the frame with the destination IP address by using the specific IP address configured on the interface of the next hop router.

b)
