| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which characteristic describes crosstalk? | the distortion of the transmitted messages from signals carried in adjacent wires |
| A network administrator is designing a new network infrastructure that includes both wired and wireless connectivity. Under which situation would a wireless connection be recommended? | The end-user device needs mobility when connecting to the network. |
| What is a characteristic of UTP cabling? | cancellation |
| Which standards organization oversees development of wireless LAN standards? | IEEE |
| What is the definition of bandwidth? | the amount of data that can flow from one place to another in a given amount of time |
| A network administrator is troubleshooting connectivity issues on a server. Using a tester, the administrator notices that the signals generated by the server NIC are distorted and not usable. In which layer of the OSI model is the error categorized? | physical layer |
| What is the purpose of the OSI physical layer? | transmitting bits across the local media |
| Which statement correctly describes frame encoding? | It converts bits into a predefined code in order to provide a predictable pattern to help distinguish data bits from control bits. |

| Which statement describes the half-duplex mode of data transmission? | Data that is transmitted over the network flows in one direction at a time. |
| What method is used to manage contention-based access on a wireless network? | CSMA/CA |
| What are two services performed by the data link layer of the OSI model? (Choose two.) | It provides media access control and performs error detection, and it accepts Layer 3 packets and encapsulates them into frames. |
| Which layer of the OSI model is responsible for specifying the encapsulation method used for specific types of media? | data link |
| What are the two sizes (minimum and maximum) of an Ethernet frame? (Choose two.) | 64 bytes and 1518 bytes |
| What statement describes a characteristic of MAC addresses? | They must be globally unique. |
| Which function or operation is performed by the LLC sublayer? | It communicates with upper protocol layers. |
| What is auto-MDIX? | a feature that detects Ethernet cable type |
| What type of address is 01-00-5E-0A-00-02? | an address that reaches a specific group of hosts |
| Which two characteristics describe Ethernet technology? (Choose two.) | It is supported by IEEE 802.3 standards and it uses the CSMA/CD access control method. |
| 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 |
| What addressing information is recorded by a switch to build its MAC address table? | the source Layer 2 address of incoming frames |
| Which statement is true about MAC addresses? | The first three bytes are used by the vendor assigned OUI. |
