Network Devices

Question 1

Your company purchases a new bridge, which filters packets based on the Mac address of the destination computer. On which layer of the OSI model is the device functioning?

– Transport
– Presentation
– Datalink
– Session

Answer 1

– Datalink

Question 2

How do switches and bridges learn where devices are located on the network?

– When a friend enters a report, the destination IP address is copied from the frame header
– When a frame enters a report, the source IP address is copied from the frame header.
– When a frame enters a port, the source mac address is copied from the frame header
– When a frame enters a port, the destination Mac address is copied from the frame header

Answer 2

– When a frame enters a port, the source mac address is copied from the frame header

– Send the frame out of all eight ports
– Send the frame out of ports two through eight
– Drop the frame
– Send the frame out the destination port

Answer 4

– Send the frame out of ports two through eigh

Question 5

Which of the following best describes how a switch functions?

– It connects multiple segments of different architectures. It translates frames, and forward them to the appropriate segment
– It connects multiple cable segments or devices, and broadcast frames to all of its ports
– It connects multiple cable segments or devices, and forwards frames to the appropriate segment
– It connects multiple segments of different architectures. It translates frames come and broadcast them to all of its ports.

Answer 5

– It connects multiple cable segments or devices, and forwards frames to the appropriate segment
