Which port speed will be autonegotiated between a host with a 1 Gbps NIC connecting to a Cisco Catalyst 2960 switch with a 100 Mbps port? | 100 Mbps |
Which device separates broadcast domains? | router |
Which two special characteristics do LAN switches use to alleviate network congestion? (Choose two.) | Fast port speeds Fast Internal switching |
Which statement is true about broadcast and collision domains? | adding a switch to a network will increase the size of the broadcast domain |
What is one function of a Layer 2 switch? | determines which interface is used to forward a frame based on the destination MAC address |
What is the significant difference between a hub and a Layer 2 LAN switch? | a switch creates many smaller collision domains, and a hub increases the size of a single collision domain |
What will a Cisco LAN switch do if it receives an incoming frame and the destination MAC address is not listed in the MAC address table? | forward the frame out all ports except the port where the frame is received |
Which switch characteristic helps alleviate network congestion when a 10 Gbps port is forwarding data to a 1 Gbps port? | frame buffering |
Which switching method makes use of the FCS value? | store-and-forward |
What does the term "port density" represent for an Ethernet switch? | the number of available ports |
Which information does a switch use to keep the MAC address table information current? | the source MAC address and the incoming port |
Which two statements are true about half-duplex and full-duplex communications? (Choose two.) | full duplex increases the effective bandwidth full duplex allows both ends to transmit and receive simultaneously |
Which type of address does a switch use to build the MAC address table? | source MAC address |
Which option correctly describes a switching method? | store-and-forward: ensures the the frame is free of physical and data-link errors |
Which network device can serve as a boundary to divide a Layer 2 broadcast domain? | router |
What is the purpose of frame buffers on a switch? | they hold traffic, thus alleviating network congestion |
