Question 1

Token ring networks can contain a maximum of ____ source-route bridges.&#10;A)two&#10;B)three&#10;C)seven&#10;D)fourteen

Accepted Answer

Token ring networks can contain a maximum of seven source-route bridges. This is due to the limitations in the source-routing protocol used in token ring networks, which can handle up to seven bridges in a route.

Question 2

____ communications are continuous bursts of data controlled by a clock signal that starts each burst.&#10;A)Synchronous&#10;B)Buffered&#10;C)Asynchronous&#10;D)Timed

Accepted Answer

Synchronous communication uses a clock signal to synchronize data transmissions. Each burst of data is controlled by the clock signal and starts at the same time, which ensures that the data is transmitted consistently and without errors. Buffered communication involves temporarily storing data in a buffer before transmitting it, while asynchronous communication does not use a clock signal to synchronize data transmissions. Timed communication is not a term typically used to describe communication methods.

Question 3

The method used by a repeater to close down a segment is called ____.&#10;A)partitioning&#10;B)formatting&#10;C)signing&#10;D)scanning

Accepted Answer

Partitioning refers to the method used by a repeater to close down a segment. This means that the repeater will separate or partition a section of the network to prevent any issues from affecting the entire network. Formatting, signing, and scanning are not methods used by a repeater to close down a segment.

Question 4

A bridge does not have the ability to look at frame addresses.

Accepted Answer

Bridges operate at the data link layer and have the ability to look at frame addresses (MAC addresses) to make forwarding decisions.

Question 5

____ provide bridging capacity along with the ability to increase the bandwidth on existing networks.&#10;A)Switches&#10;B)Bridges&#10;C)Hubs&#10;D)MAUs

Accepted Answer

Switches provide both bridging capacity and the ability to increase bandwidth on existing networks through features such as VLANs and link aggregation. Bridges and hubs primarily provide bridging capacity but do not have the same level of advanced features as switches. MAUs (Media Access Units) are obsolete networking devices used for Token Ring networks and do not apply to modern Ethernet networks.

Question 6

A(n)____ domain consists of segments of an Ethernet network in which two or more computers can transmit at the same time.&#10;A)communication&#10;B)network&#10;C)collision&#10;D)impact

Accepted Answer

A collision domain is a network segment where data packets can collide with each other when being sent on a shared medium, such as Ethernet.

Question 7

A bridge performs three important functions: ____, filtering, and forwarding.&#10;A)learning&#10;B)scanning&#10;C)translating&#10;D)routing

Accepted Answer

A bridge learns the MAC addresses of devices on the network to make intelligent forwarding decisions.

Question 8

Routing Information Protocol (RIP)can determine the best path to take when different options are available, such as Ethernet versus Fast Ethernet.

Accepted Answer

RIP determines the best path based on hop count, not on the type of network medium like Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

Question 9

____ sends only the portion of the routing table that pertains to its most immediate router links, which is called the &#34;link-state routing message.&#34;&#10;A)RIP&#10;B)The spanning tree algorithm&#10;C)BGP&#10;D)OSPF

Accepted Answer

OSPF sends only the portion of the routing table that pertains to its most immediate router links, which is called the "link-state routing message."

Question 10

A DSL modem user employs the full bandwidth of his or her line.

Accepted Answer

A DSL modem user can use the full bandwidth of their line, up to the speed specified by their internet service provider. However, actual speeds may vary depending on factors like distance from the telephone exchange or the quality of the phone line.

Question 11
