- Q1What is CSMA/CD?This protocol enforces that traffic can be transmitted and received on an interface at the same time.This protocol attempts to avoid collisions in wireless networks.This protocol enforces that traffic cannot be transmitted and received on an interface at the same time.This protocol detects collisions, and when a collision is detected, a backoff period is initiated to prevent any further collisions.30s
- Q2Where is Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) predominantly used?Fiber connectionsEthernet networksPoint-to-point linksWireless networks30s
- Q3What would be an example of encapsulation?A method of adjusting signaling from one form to another.The process of encoding a message or information in such a way that only authorized parties can access it.A method of combining multiple signals into a single signal for transport.The process of building a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) from the application layer down to the data link layer.30s
- Q4The intent of packets is to carry the payload. What is the upper limit of the payload referred to as?Jumbo FramesMaximum Transferable UnitMaximum Transmission UnitMaximum Frame Size30s
- Q5Which statement describes the form of communication known as multicast?It is used when it is necessary to send data to all devices on a network.It is used to send data to a single receiving interface.It is an IPv6 features that can be used to send data to single or multiple devices on a network.It is used when one host sends data to multiple interested hosts simultaneously.30s
- Q6Which statement describes a switch?A switch repeats traffic that comes in and shares a single collision domain between all connected devices.A switch segments collision domains and provides layer 2 capabilities.A switch provides security elements to a network through policy rules.A switch segments broadcast domains and provides layer 3 capabilities.30s
- Q7Which statement describes the form of communication known as unicast?It is used to send data to multiple interested hosts simultaneously.It is an IPv6 feature that can be used to send to single or multiple devices on a network.It is used to send data to a single receiving interface.It is used when it is necessary to send data to all devices on a network.30s
- Q8Which statement describes routers?Routers can segment both collision and broadcast domains and provide both layer 2 and layer 3 capabilities.Routers segment broadcast domains and provide layer 3 capabilities.Routers segment collision domains and provide layer 2 capabilities.Routers repeat traffic that comes in and share a single collision domain between all connected devices.30s
- Q9How many broadcast domains are present in the following topology?5141030s
- Q10How many broadcast domains are present in this topology?5109130s
- Q11How many collision domains are present in this topology?1019430s
