Q

What is the MAIN difference between a Hub and a Switch?

A Hub puts all Hosts in their own Collision Domain
A Hub operates at Layer 1 and a Switch operates at Layer 4
A Hub uses ARP, and a Switch doesn’t.
A Switch puts all Hosts in their own Collision Domain.

A

A Switch puts all Hosts in their own Collision Domain.

Explanation:
Collision Domains in Hubs means that ALL Hosts belong to the Same Collision Domain. Only one device can transmit at a time, and all other Hosts “Listen” to the Network in order to avoid Collisions. Total Network Bandwidth is Shared among all Hosts.

In contrast, with Switches, each Host belongs to it’s own Collision Domain, eliminates the possibility of Collisions on a Switch because of Point to Point Connections. The same is true for Bridges, Switches, and Routers.

A

CSMA/CD

Explanation:
CSMA/CD is a Technology used for devices to listen and see who is Communicating. Collision Detection.

ARP is a Method used to get the MAC Address of Hosts.

Full-Duplex is a Communication Mode where two devices can talk at the same time.

CSMA/CA is for Collision Avoidance rather than Detection.

Q

When troubleshooting Structured Cabling, you notice that you cannot access any Network resources or get on the Internet. You cannot even ping another Host on your Subnet. What would be the MOST logical thing to check first?

The Horizonal Runs
The Configuration on the Router
If your Computer has an IP Address
If the NIC has a Link Light

A

If the NIC has a Link Light

Explanation:
The first thing to check if you cannot access ANYTHING AT ALL is the Link Light.
The Link Light will verify that you have a Connection.

Checking for an IP Address is an Earlier Step, it isn’t the MOST logical one based on the problem.
