DANTE CERTIFICATION LEVEL 2 EXAM SOLVED
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
◉ Wide Area Network (WAN).
Answer: Connects the network across a wider geographical area. Is
reached through a router (gateway)
◉ What kind of notation do IP Addresses use?.
Answer: Dotted-Quad or Dot Decimal Notation
◉ Subnet.
Answer: A group of local IP addresses
◉ Subnet Mask.
Answer: Helps determine what IP addresses are in our subnet
Should be an unbroken string of binary ones followed by zeros
A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 can be abbreviated as "/24"
,◉ What is the range of numbers for IP addresses in dotted-quad
form?.
Answer: 0-255
◉ What is the range of numbers we can actually use when assigning
IP addresses in dotted-quad form?.
Answer: 1-254
◉ Domain Name Service (DNS).
Answer: Translates domain names into IP addresses
If multiples are on a list, the first one to return an answer is followed
◉ Subnets reserved for use on a local network.
Answer: 192 . 168 . ___ . ___
10 . ___ . ___ . ___
172 . 16-31 . ___ . ___
169 . 254 . ___ . ___
◉ What are the two primary DHCP settings?.
Answer: IP Range (a.k.a. DHCP pool) and Lease Time (e.g. 24 hours)
,◉ What is the priority option for automatic IP addressing for Dante
devices?.
Answer: DHCP Server
◉ If no DHCP server is found for automatic IP addressing, what is
the back up plan?.
Answer: Link Local
◉ How does Link Local work?.
Answer: Assigns each device a random address in 169 . 254 . ___ . ___
Sends an ARP request to ensure that an address is available
Once Link Local address is set, we continue looking for DHCP
Service
◉ VLAN.
Answer: Strategically isolates LANs on the same switch
◉ Non-Blocking Architecture.
Answer: The switch is not the bandwidth bottleneck in the network
, Your only restriction is your individual port speed
◉ Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
Answer: A protocol that disables a second trunk line between the
same two switches to prevent a Broadcast Storm
◉ Broadcast Storm.
Answer: An endless loop of broadcast information. Like microphone
feedback but for broadcast
◉ Link Aggregation Group (LAG).
Answer: Allows trunk lines to be combined for more bandwidth
◉ How can trunk lines contact multiple VLANs?.
Answer: By "tagging" packets
It its best practice to have one untagged VLAN, the rest being tagged
◉ TCP.
Answer: Like "signature required" mail, the sender gets a
notification that the message was received
