CCNA 2 R&S Essentials Chapter 1 QUIZ

1 Which function is supplied by the access layer in a three-layer network

design?
high-speed
routing
application
network
backbone connectivity

connectivity
of
access

policies
*

2 Which statement is true about broadcast and collision domains?

Adding a router to a network will increase the size of the collision domain.
The size of the collision domain can be reduced by adding hubs to a network.
The more interfaces a router has the larger the resulting broadcast domain.
Adding a switch to a network will increase the size of the broadcast domain. *
3 When an appropriate switch form factor for a network is being determined,
what should be selected when fault tolerance and bandwidth availability are
desired but the budget is limited?
stackable
non-stackable
fixed
modular switch

switch
configuration

*
switch
switch

4 What are the three layers of the switch hierarchical design model? (Choose
three.)
access
data
core
network
enterprise
distribution *

*
link
*
access

5 Which cost-effective physical network topology design is recommended when

building a three-tier campus network that connects three buildings?

bus
mesh
extended star *
dual ring
6 Which two characteristics describe a converged network? (Choose two.)
decreased service calls
support of voice and video both using the same switch *
separate wiring infrastructure for voice and video traffic
affordability for small and medium businesses *
cheaper equipment cost
7 Which service is provided by an automated attendant feature on a converged
network?
point-to-point
call
IT
video conferencing

video
*
interface

routing
management

8 When the appropriate switch form factor for a network is being determined,
what type of switch should be selected when future expansion is important and
cost is not a limiting factor?
stackable
1
fixed
modular switch *

rack

unit
configuration

switch
switch
switch

9 Which option correctly describes a switching method?

cut-through: makes a forwarding decision after receiving the entire frame
store-and-forward: forwards the frame immediately after examining its destination MAC
address
cut-through: provides the flexibility to support any mix of Ethernet speeds
store-and-forward: ensures that the frame is free of physical and data-link
errors*

Refer to the exhibit. A switch receives a Layer 2 frame that contains a source
MAC address of 000b.a023.c501 and a destination MAC address of
0050.0fae.75aa. Place the switch steps in the order they occur.
occurs first -> Correct Answer The switch adds the source MAC address to the
MAC address table.
occurs second -> Because the destination is not known, the switch forwards the
frame out all ports except the port through which the frame arrived.
11

Refer to the exhibit. The PC that is attached to port Fa0/1 is sending a packet
that has the destination MAC address of 0050.0fae.299c. Based on the current
S1 MAC address table, what will S1 do first when the packet arrives at the
switch?

forward
the
data
to
S2
broadcast
an ARP request
to
all
S1
ports
except
port
Fa0/1
add the MAC address of the PC that is attached to Fa0/1 to the MAC address
table
*
broadcast the data to all S1 ports and all S2 ports that have attached end devices
broadcast the data to all S1 ports that have attached end devices, except the Fa0/1
port
12 Which switching mode describes a switch that transfers a frame as soon as
the destination MAC address is read?
fragment-free
cut-through
store-and-forward
latency forwarding

13 Which two statements about Layer 2 Ethernet switches are true? (Choose
two.)
Layer
2
switches
prevent
broadcasts.
Layer
2
switches
have
multiple
collision
domains.
*
Layer
2
switches
route
traffic
between
different
networks.
Layer
2
switches
decrease
the
number
of
broadcast
domains.
Layer 2 switches can send traffic based on the destination MAC address. *
