1. Which statements describe asymmetric switching? (Choose three.)

6. Which statements are true concerning the shared memory buffering used by an Ethernet switch? (Choose two.)

10. Which switching mode changes to store-and-forward mode after it detects a given number of errors?
• cut-through
• adaptive fast-forward
• fragment-free
• adaptive cut-through
11. Which of the following is a Layer 2 broadcast address?
• 0.0.0.0
• 255.255.255.255
• 11:11:11:11

12. Where are switching tables stored in a Cisco LAN switch?
• ROM
• CAM
• Flash
• SIMM
• NRAM
13. Which of the following is used to build a switching table?
• source IP addresses
• destination IP addresses
• destination MAC addresses
• source MAC addresses
14. How does an Ethernet bridge handle an incoming frame? (Choose three.)
• The source MAC address and input interface pair are added to the bridging table.
• The destination MAC address and input interface pair are added to the bridging table.
• If no match to the destination MAC address is found in the bridging table, the frame is discarded.
• If no match to the destination MAC address is found in the bridging table, the frame is flooded out all other interfaces.
• If a match to the destination MAC address is found in the bridging table, the frame is forwarded out the associated interface.
• If a match to the source MAC address is found in the bridging table, the frame is forwarded to all ports.
15. Which attribute is used by a bridge to make forwarding decisions?
• source IP address
• source MAC address
• destination IP address
• destination MAC address
• Layer 4-7 protocol address
16. Which statements are true regarding hubs? (Choose three.)
• Hubs operate at Layer 1 of the OSI model.
• They create separate collision domains.
• Signals are distributed through all ports.
• Layer 2 addresses are used to make decisions.
• They calculate the CRC for each frame received prior to forwarding.
• Bandwidth is shared among all connected users.
17. What does switch latency describe?
• forwarding method used by a switch
• time it takes for a frame to be received by a switch
• improvement in network performance from using a switch
• time delay between when a frame enters and exits a switch
• increase in the size of a collision domain from using a switch
18. Why does a switch have higher throughput compared to a bridge?
• Switching occurs in software.
• Switching occurs in hardware.
• Switches create multiple broadcast domains.
• Switches segment LANs.
