Question 1

Question
What is Ethernet ? (Choose two)
Answer
  • 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.
  • Ethernet is a access method that provides end to end delivery during network services.

Question 2

Question
What is a collision domain?
Answer
  • 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.

Question 3

Question
What is a broadcast domain?
Answer
  • 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.

Question 4

Question
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.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 5

Question
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)
Answer
  • 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.
  • Each device on the segment stops transmitting for a short time until their backoff timers expire.
  • All hosts have equal priority to transmit after the timers have expired.

Question 6

Question
What is the difference between Half Duplex and Full Duplex Ethernet?
Answer
  • 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.
  • Full Duplex uses two pairs on the network cable wire with a signal running in both directions which offers a collision free network segment.

Question 7

Question
Full Duplex Ethernet can run on Hub device environments
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 8

Question

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 10

Question
In the Data Link layer there are four different types of Ethernet frames.
Answer

Question 13

Question

Answer
  • Sub Network Access Protocol (SNAP)
  • Ethernet_II

Question 14

Question
What makes up Ethernet Addressing ?
Answer
  • It uses Media Access Control (MAC) which is a sublayer of the Data Link Layer
  • The MAC is a 48 bit (6 byte) address burned into every Ethernet network interface card (NIC) but it can be overridden.
  • It uses Media Access Control (MAC) which is a sublayer of the Physical Layer
  • The MAC address is divided into two parts, first 24 bits is called the Organizational Unit Identifier (OUI) and the second 24 bits are Vendor assigned.

Question 15

Question
What are the values of a nibble and a byte in binary numbering?
Answer
  • A nibble is 8 bits with the value of each bit are the following: 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
  • A byte is 8 bits with the value of each bit are the following: 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
  • A byte is 4 bits with the value of each bit are the following: 8 4 2 1
  • A nibble is 4 bits with the value of each bit are the following: 8 4 2 1

Question 16

Question
Each hex character has a value of one _______ and every two hex characters has the value of one _____
Answer
  • Each hex character has a value of one byte (8 bits) and every two hex characters has the value of one nibble (4 bits).
  • Each hex character has a value of one nibble (4 bits) and every two characters has the value of one byte (8 bits).

Question 17

Question
In order to convert a hex value to a decimal value, you must first convert hex into binary, then add the binary values that will result in the decimal value. Example: 0xC84 => 1100 1000 0100 => 2048 + 1024 + 128 + 4 => 3204
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 18

Question
In order to convert binary to hex, you must first break the 8 bit binary into two 4 bit nibbles, then add up each nibble value separately which will result in the hex value. Example: 01010101 => 0101 => 5 and 0101 => 5 , now add the two nibble values separately in hex format using "0x" => 0x55
Answer
  • True
  • False
