DANTE LEVEL 3 FINAL PAPER 2025/2026 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔Dante is an example of ________________ network service - ✔✔Real-time
✔✔Detailed understanding of the OSI model is required to design a Dante network. -
✔✔False
✔✔You have a four-channel Dante to analog output device which uses the Ultimo chip.
Which of the following subscriptions are valid? (select all that apply) - ✔✔-Subscribing
four channels from a single transmitting device.
-Subscribing two channels each from two different transmitting devices.
-Subscribing three channels from a single transmitting device and a one channel from
another.
✔✔In a production network, multicast management is more critical than QoS. - ✔✔True
✔✔SCENARIO: After setting up the network, you open Dante controller. You notice that
a particular device's name shows, but does not contain any relevant device information.
What is the likely cause of this issue? - ✔✔Incorrect static IP address
✔✔Strict priority queuing is preferred for real time services. - ✔✔True
✔✔The three layer hierarchical model describes a model for network topology - ✔✔True
✔✔A router will not pass - ✔✔Broadcast traffic
✔✔A ________ segments a broadcast domain. - ✔✔Router
✔✔In a [________] transaction, bandwidth is only used between a [________] and a
transmitter when an active subscription is made. - ✔✔Unicast, receiver
✔✔SCENARIO: You oversee a facility which contains many Dante devices. The audio
distribution of the facility requires you to use several multicast Dante flows. Around 30%
of the devices use Brooklyn II. The remaining devices use Ultimo (100Mbps). The
system has been running continuously for at least 5 days. You notice the system is
passing audio, but with occasional sound distortions. As the first step of your trouble
shooting process, you look at the multicast bandwidth usage on the status bar in Dante
Controller. It indicates that you have 90Mbps of multicast traffic on the network. What
would be the potential solution for this? - ✔✔Turn on IGMP Snooping
✔✔QoS will not have a positive effect on constant bandwidth services. - ✔✔True
, ✔✔A VLAN can be assigned an IP address in order to allow a router to connect it to
another VLAN. - ✔✔True
✔✔What is the maximum number of channels that may be contained in a unicast flow? -
✔✔4
✔✔Dante Controller provides a tool for checking the [________] of a [________] . This
can indicate the [________] performance of a switch. - ✔✔latency, multicast flow, IGMP
snooping
✔✔A unicast Dante flow allows for the use of much lower latency settings than a
multicast flow. - ✔✔True
✔✔A transmit flow is a sequence of packets from multiple port addresses. - ✔✔False
✔✔If 3 channels are being sent within 1 unicast flow, how much bandwidth is being
used? (sample rate 48KHz/24-bit) - ✔✔6mbps
✔✔A switch populates its [________] by observing the source [________] . - ✔✔MAC
address table, MAC addresses
✔✔DSCP stands for.... - ✔✔Differentiated Services Code Point
✔✔When a packet has passed through a router, the [________] of the outbound
interface is used as the source , and the MAC address of the next hop router interface
becomes the [________] MAC address. - ✔✔MAC address, destination
✔✔Diffserv QoS uses ______ tags. - ✔✔DSCP
✔✔How is a unicast flow created in a Dante network? - ✔✔By Dante Controller telling
the receiver which channels to request from which transmitter
✔✔A Dante receiving device has a latency setting of 1ms. A Dante transmitting device
has a latency setting of 1ms. If a subscription is created between these units, when will
the audio playout of the receiving device? - ✔✔1 milli second
✔✔SCENARIO: You have a Dante system where there are no devices set as "Preferred
Master" or "Enable Sync to External". A mixing console that is not in use is removed
from the system and is repurposed for some remote AV production work on a different
Dante network. On this new system it is set to "Enable Sync to External" and used with
an external clock. Once the production work is completed, the console is powered
down, disconnected, and brought back the original system. It is reconnected to the
