DANTE LEVEL 2 ACTUAL EXAM PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
● What protocol does Dante for clocking? Answer: A. NTP
B. PTP
C. SMPTE Time Code
● As a simple rule of thumb, how much latency should be allowed per
network switch hop? Answer: A. 0.001 msec (1 microsecond)
B. 0.01 msec (10 microseconds)
C. 0.1 msec (100
microseconds)
D. 1.0 msec
● If a transmitting device runs out of flows, what should you do to
enable all subscriptions to be made? Answer: A. Get a managed switch
with Packet Propagation Protocol (PPP) to duplicate a stream with new
destination IP addresses.
, B. Flip stream(s) to unicast so it only takes one flow for multiple
destinations.
C. Flip stream(s) to multicast so it only takes one flow for multiple
destinations.
D. Add a Dante AVIO "repeater" module, which will accept a stream and
retransmit it with up to 32 more streams.
● The redundant port allows for a second network connection in case the
first fails. Which describes the operation? Answer: A. Primary and
secondary can be connected in the same broadcast domain (VLAN). If
one cable fails, the other will take over.
B. The secondary network is dormant until a problem is encoutered on
the primary. In that case, the primary network shuts down, and the
secondary network starts sending and receiving data.
C. The primary and secondary operate full time in separate broadcast
domains. If the connection fails on one network, it will continue to the
other.
D. Dante devices establish redundancy by linking devices in a ring. If
one like breaks, the signal can traverse the ring in the other direction.
