module 6 Network design/ access layer Flashcards
exam prep
Which destination address is used in an ARP request frame?
FFFF.FFFF.FFFF.FFFF
Which network device can serve as a boundary to divide a Layer 2 broadcast domain?
Router
Which term refers to the process of placing one message format inside another message format?
Encapsulation
What is the purpose of the core layer in the Cisco hierarchical network design model?
High-speed backbone switching
Which network device has the primary function to send data to a specific destination based on the information found in the MAC address table?
Switch
Refer to the exhibit. How is a frame sent from PCA forwarded to PCC if the MAC address table on switch SW1 is empty?
sw1 floods the frame on all ports on SW1, excluding the port through which the frame entered the switch
What information does an Ethernet switch examine and use to build its address table?
Source MAC address
Which three fields are found in an 802.3 Ethernet frame? (Choose three.)
1- Frame check Sequence
2- Source physical address
3-Destination physical address
Which two devices would commonly be found at the access layer of the hierarchical enterprise LAN design model? (Choose two.)
1- access point
2- Layer 2 switch
Which statement is true about broadcast and collision domains?
Adding a switch to a network will increase the size of the broadcast
How much data can be encapsulated into a normal sized Ethernet frame before it is sent over the network?
46 to 1500
What is the purpose of ARP in an IPv4 network?
To obtain a specific MAC address when IP address is known
he process of prepending protocol information with information from another protocol is called:
Encapsulation
When an Ethernet frame is sent out an interface, the destination MAC address indicates:
The MAC address of the device, which is on this network that will receive the Ethernet Frame
Which Ethernet frame field indicates the beginning of an Ethernet frame?
Preamble and SFD
The Ethernet protocol is at what layer of the OSI Model?
Layer 2 data link
An IP address is considered what type of address:
Logical
Which address does not change when a device is connected to a new network?
physical
An Ethernet MAC address is considered what type of address:
Physical
Which portion of an IP address uniquely identifies that device on that network?
Host
Which design layer provides connectivity to devices on an Ethernet LAN?
Access
Ethernet switches make their forwarding decision based on what field of the Ethernet frame?
Destination MAC address
When a switch receives an Ethernet frame and the destination MAC address of that frame is not in its MAC address table, the switch will:
Forward the frame out all ports except in the incoming port
Ethernet switches add entries to their MAC address table based on what field of the Ethernet frame?
Source MAC address
