  • Q2
    Which network design feature requires Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to ensure correct network operation?
    static default routes
    link-state dynamic routing that provides redundant routes
    removing single points of failure with multiple Layer 2 switches
    implementing VLANs to contain broadcasts

  • Q3
    What is the outcome of a Layer 2 broadcast storm?
    CSMA/CD will cause each host to continue transmitting frames.
    Routers will take over the forwarding of frames as switches become congested.
    ARP broadcast requests are returned to the transmitting host.
    New traffic is discarded by the switch because it is unable to be processed.

  • Q4
    What is the purpose of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)?
    allows Cisco devices to exchange routing table updates
    creates smaller broadcast domains
    prevents routing loops on a router
    prevents Layer 2 loops

  • Q5
    What is a characteristic of a Layer 2 loop?
    Routers continually forward packets to other routers.
    Broadcast frames are forwarded back to the sending switch.
    A switch is continually forwarding the same unicast frame.
    The Time-to-Live attribute of a frame is set to infinity.
