SHEET NO.4
Question: Choose the correct Answer:

1. Which network device has the primary function to send data to a specific destination
based on the information found in the MAC address table?
a. hub
b. router
c. switch
d. modem

2. How does a switch "learn" MAC addresses?

a. The switch uses a mathematical formula to determine what the MAC address would
be for each computer connected to it.
b. The switch comes loaded with the most frequently used addresses.
c. The switch reads each frame and makes a note of where each MAC address came
from.
d. All the MAC addresses must be entered manually.

3. Why is the use of a switch preferred over a hub?

a. Devices on a hub have to share the available bandwidth.
b. Switches are intelligent; they read the frame and determine where to send it.
c. All of the above

4. Routers do not forward broadcast packets.

a. True
b. False

5. What does a switch store in its switching table?

a. The destination MAC address of a frame and the port it was received on
b. the destination IP address of a frame and the port it was received on
c. The source IP address of a frame and the port it was received on
d. The source MAC address of a frame and the port it was received on

6. When a frame is received, which component reads the source and destination MAC
addresses, looks up the destination to determine where to send the frame, and forwards
it out the correct port?
a. Router
b. Hub
c. Switch
d. Repeater

1
7. Which network device makes forwarding decisions based on the destination MAC
address that is contained in the frame?
a. repeater
b. hub
c. switch
d. router

8. 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. (Not all options are used.)

2
9. What addressing information is recorded by a switch to build its MAC address table?
a. the destination Layer 3 address of incoming packets
b. the destination Layer 2 address of outgoing frames
c. the source Layer 3 address of outgoing packets
d. the source Layer 2 address of incoming frames

10. Is an electronic device that connects to the Internet via an ISP (Internet Service
Provider). It converts digital data to analog signals for transmission over a phone line.
a. Modem
b. Hub
c. Repeater
d. Switch

11. Devices that connect entire networks to each other. They use IP addresses to forward
packets to other networks. They contain tables of IP addresses along with optimal
routes to other networks.
a. Switches
b. Routers
c. Hubs
d. Bridges

12. A device that connects the internal networks and the outside network (Internet).
a. Gateway
b. Switch
c. Repeater
d. Hub

13. Network devices called concentrators because they serve as a central connection point
for a LAN. It extends the range of a signal by receiving then regenerating it and sending
it out all other ports. Allows for collisions on the network segment and is often not a
good solution.
a. switch
b. Computer
c. Router
d. Hub

14. What will a Layer 2 switch do when the destination MAC address of a received frame is
not in the MAC table?
a. It initiates an ARP request.
b. It broadcasts the frame out of all ports on the switch.
c. It notifies the sending host that the frame cannot be delivered.
d. It forwards the frame out of all ports except for the port at which the frame was
received.

15. A network device has several ports and refers to a table of MAC addresses to determine
which port to use to forward the frame. It forwards the data to the exact destination
only.
a. Bridge
b. Switch
c. Router
d. Hub

16. A device designed to filter and transfer IP packets between dissimilar types of computer
networks is called:
a. Hub
b. Switch
c. Load Balancer
d. Router

17. Which BEST describes the function of a switch?

a. Connects printers together in a LAN
b. Connects devices together in a WAN
c. Connects devices together in a LAN
d. Shares Internet connection on a LAN

18. Switches use ...........

a. IP address
b. MAC address
c. MCA adress
d. a,c

19. In which layer we use Router?

a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4

20. The disadvantage from using this device results from a fact that any incoming signal on
any of its ports is re-created and sent out on any connected ports, which in turn forces
all the connected devices to share the total amount of available bandwidth.
a. Hub
b. Switch
c. Access Point
d. Bridge

21. Which device is more intelligent when sending data packets?

a. hub
b. switch

22. A switch stores the MAC addresses of every device on the network. True or False?
a. TRUE
b. FALSE

4
23. Which device broadcasts any data to all devices on a network?
a. hub
b. switch
c. router

24. Switch is a
a. broadcast device
b. unicast device

25. A device that can operate in place of Hub is a

a. switch
b. router

26. Device used to connect multiple networks

a. Hub
b. Switch
c. Router
d. Connector

27. Which device allows a network to connect to the Internet?

a. Router
b. Switch
c. Hub
d. WAP

28. Which device broadcasts any data to all devices on a network?

a. Router
b. Switch
c. Hub
d. WAP

29. Routers have two different kinds of ports: Ethernet and
