Question 12
Question
What cable type uses the pinout arrangement shown below?
Answer
-
Fiber optic
-
Rolled
-

-
Crossover
Question 13
Question
Which of the following is not one of the actions taken in the operation of CSMA/CD when a collision occurs?
Answer
-
A jam signal informs all devices that a collision occurred.
-
The collision invokes a random backoff algorithm on the systems involved in the collision.
-
Each device on the Ethernet segment stops transmitting for a short time until its backoff
timer expires.
-
All hosts have equal priority to transmit after the timers have expired.
Question 14
Question
Which of the following statements is false with regard to Ethernet?
Answer
-
There are very few collisions in full-duplex mode.
-
A dedicated switch port is required for each full-duplex node.
-
The host network card and the switch port must be capable of operating in full-duplex
mode to use full-duplex.
-
The default behavior of 10Base-T and 100Base-T hosts is 10 Mbps half-duplex if the
autodetect mechanism fails.

-
A= crossover, B= straight-through
-
A= straight-through, B= straight-through
-
A= straight-through, B= crossover
