CCNA 1 R&S Introduction to Networks Chapter 5 QUIZ

1 Fill in the blank.
The Ethernet “_________” sublayer is responsible for communicating directly with the physical layer.

Correct Answer
MAC

Mac

mac

2 Which two functions or operations are performed by the MAC sublayer? (Choose two.)

It is responsible for Media Access Control.*
It performs the function of NIC driver software.
It adds a header and trailer to form an OSI Layer 2 PDU.*
It handles communication between upper and lower layers.
It adds control information to network protocol layer data.

3 What is a characteristic of a contention-based access method?

It processes more overhead than the controlled access methods do.
It has mechanisms to track the turns to access the media.
It is a nondeterministic method.*
It scales very well under heavy media use.

4 Fill in the blank.

On Ethernet networks, the hexadecimal address FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF represents the “______” MAC address.

Correct Answer
broadcast

Broadcast

BROADCAST

5 Fill in the blank.
A collision fragment, also known as a “_________” frame, is a frame of fewer than 64 bytes in length.​

Correct Answer
RUNT

Runt

runt

6 What type of address is 01-00-5E-0A-00-02?

an address that reaches every host inside a local subnet
an address that reaches one specific host
an address that reaches every host in the network
an address that reaches a specific group of hosts*

7

Refer to the exhibit. What is the destination MAC address of the Ethernet frame as it leaves the web server if the final destination is PC1?

00-60-2F-3A-07-AA
00-60-2F-3A-07-BB
00-60-2F-3A-07-CC*
00-60-2F-3A-07-DD

8 Which destination address is used in an ARP request frame?

0.0.0.0
255.255.255.255
FFFF.FFFF.FFFF*
AAAA.AAAA.AAAA
the physical address of the destination host

9

Refer to the exhibit. PC1 issues an ARP request because it needs to send a packet to PC3. In this scenario, what will happen next?

RT1 will forward the ARP request to PC3.
RT1 will send an ARP reply with its own Fa0/0 MAC address.*
RT1 will send an ARP reply with the PC3 MAC address.
SW1 will send an ARP reply with its Fa0/1 MAC address.
RT1 will send an ARP reply with its own Fa0/1 MAC address.

10

Refer to the graphic. H2 has sent a broadcast message to all of the hosts. If host H1 wants to reply to the broadcast message, which statement is true?

H1 sends a unicast message to H2, but the switch forwards it to all devices.
H1 sends a unicast message to H2, and the switch forwards it directly to H2.*
H1 sends a broadcast message to H2, and the switch forwards it to all devices.
H1 sends a multicast message to H2, and the switch forwards it directly to H2.

11 Which action is taken by a Layer 2 switch when it receives a Layer 2 broadcast frame?

It drops the frame.
It sends the frame to all ports except the port on which it received the frame.*
It sends the frame to all ports that are registered to forward broadcasts.
It sends the frame to all ports.

12 Which term defines the processing capabilities of a switch by rating how much data can be processed per second?

switching rate
forwarding rate*
port density
form factor

13 Which interface command must be entered in a Layer 3 switch before an IPv4 address can be assigned to that interface?

ip classless
no shutdown
no switchport*
switchport​
