| 85 | ||
| 90 | ||
![]() |
BA | |
| A1 | ||
| B3 | ||
| 1C | ||
| 12. | ![]() Refer to the exhibit. What command was executed on a host computer to produce the results shown? |
|

| 13. | What are the two basic functions of the ARP protocol? (Choose two.) | |
| resolve known IPv6 addresses to MAC addresses | ||
| resolve known MAC to IP addresses | ||
![]() |
maintain ARP cache in RAM | |
![]() |

| 14. | ![]() Refer to the exhibit. The switch and workstation are administratively configured for full-duplex operation. Which statement accurately reflects the operation of this link? |
|
![]() |
No collisions will occur on this link. | |
| Only one of the devices can transmit at a time. | ||
| The switch will have priority for transmitting data. | ||
| The devices will default back to half duplex if excessive collisions occur. | ||
| 15. | Why do hosts on an Ethernet segment that experience a collision use a random delay before attempting to transmit a frame? | |
| A random delay is used to ensure a collision-free link. | ||
| A random delay value for each device is assigned by the manufacturer. | ||
| A standard delay value could not be agreed upon among networking device vendors. | ||
![]() |
A random delay helps prevent the stations from experiencing another collision during the transmission. | |
| 16. | Which statements correctly describe MAC addresses? (Choose three.) | |
| dynamically assigned | ||
![]() |
copied into RAM during system startup | |
| layer 3 address | ||

| 19. | ![]() In the graphic, Host A has reached 50% completion in sending a 1 KB Ethernet frame to Host D when Host B wishes to transmit its own frame to Host C. What must Host B do? |
|
| Host B can transmit immediately since it is connected on its own cable segment. | ||
| Host B must wait to receive a CSMA transmission from the hub, to signal its turn. | ||
| Host B must send a request signal to Host A by transmitting an interframe gap. | ||
![]() |
Host B must wait until it is certain that Host A has completed sending its frame. | |
| 20. | After an Ethernet collision, when the backoff algorithm is invoked, which device has priority to transmit data? | |
| the device involved in the collision with the lowest MAC address | ||
| the device involved in the collision with the lowest IP address | ||
![]() |
any device in the collision domain whose backoff timer expires first | |
| those that began transmitting at the same time | ||
| 21. | Which of the following is a drawback of the CSMA/CD access method? | |
![]() |
Collisions can decrease network performance. | |
| It is more complex than non-deterministic protocols. | ||
| Deterministic media access protocols slow network performance. | ||
