Ethernet Networks In Review - Chapter 3

Question 1 of 37

1

What is Ethernet ? (Choose two)

Select one or more of the following:

  • Ethernet is a trademark for a family of Ethernet technologies for Local Area Networks (LANs) was introduced in 1980 and standardized in 1985 as IEEE 802.3

  • Ethernet is a contention based media access method that allows all hosts on a network to share the same bandwidth of a link.

Explanation

Question 2 of 37

1

What is a collision domain?

Select one of the following:

  • This is an Ethernet term describing two devices on one physical segment both sends out a packet at the same time. This will result in a collision and forcing both devices to retransmit at a later time. A collision domain is typically found in a Hub network environment.

  • A collision domain is a feature where a device fails to send a packet to the network and tries to resend the packet.

Explanation

Question 3 of 37

1

What is a broadcast domain?

Select one of the following:

  • Its part of a network technology that provides broadcasts for all hosts connected to the internetwork.

  • This refers to a group of devices on a network segment that hear all the broadcasts sent on that network segment.

Explanation

Question 4 of 37

1

Carrier Sense Multiple Access w/collision detection (CSMA/CD) is a protocol that helps devices share the bandwidth evenly without having two devices transmit at the same time on the network medium.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 5 of 37

1

When two devices send out a packet at the same time on the same segment causing a collision, how does CSMA/CD act on resolving this? (Choose four)

Select one or more of the following:

  • A jam signal informs all devices that a collision occurred.

  • The collision triggers a random back off algorithm.

  • The signal provides the devices to generate an inquiry file log.

  • All hosts have equal priority to transmit after the timers have expired.

Explanation

Question 6 of 37

1

What is the difference between Half Duplex and Full Duplex Ethernet?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Half Duplex uses just one pair on the network cable wire with a signal running in both directions. It also uses CSMA/CD protocol to help detect and prevent collisions. Half Duplex is typically run on hub environments.

  • Full Duplex uses one pair on the network cable wire with a signal running in both directions which offers a collision free network segment.

  • Half Duplex uses two pairs on the network cable wire with a signal running in both directions which is a collision free network segment. Half Duplex is typically run on hub environments.
