DANTE LEVEL 2 NEWEST 2025 ACTUAL EXAM
COMPLETE 100 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED
A+ (BRAND NEW VERSION!)
Local Area Network (LAN) - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Contacted directly through a Dante switch
Wide Area Network (WAN) - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Connects the network across a wider
geographical area. Is reached through a router (gateway)
What kind of notation do IP Addresses use? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Dotted-Quad or Dot
Decimal Notation
Subnet - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..A group of local IP addresses
Subnet Mask - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..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? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..0-
255
What is the range of numbers we can actually use when assigning IP addresses in
dotted-quad form? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..1-254
Domain Name Service (DNS) - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..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 - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..192 . 168 . ___ . ___
10 . ___ . ___ . ___
172 . 16-31 . ___ . ___
169 . 254 . ___ . ___
What are the two primary DHCP settings? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..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? -
✔✔ANSW✔✔..DHCP Server
If no DHCP server is found for automatic IP addressing, what is the back up plan? -
✔✔ANSW✔✔..Link Local
How does Link Local work? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..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 - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Strategically isolates LANs on the same switch
Non-Blocking Architecture - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..The switch is not the bandwidth bottleneck
in the network
Your only restriction is your individual port speed
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..A protocol that disables a second trunk
line between the same two switches to prevent a Broadcast Storm
Broadcast Storm - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..An endless loop of broadcast information. Like
microphone feedback but for broadcast
Link Aggregation Group (LAG) - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Allows trunk lines to be combined for
more bandwidth
How can trunk lines contact multiple VLANs? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..By "tagging" packets
It its best practice to have one untagged VLAN, the rest being tagged
TCP - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Like "signature required" mail, the sender gets a notification that
the message was received
Appropriate when communications are likely to be interrupted, when missing a packet
would invalidate the date, or when timely delivery is a convenience rather than a
necessity
UDP - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Like "first class" mail, a message is put on the network and
assumed to be delivered successfully - no notification
, Appropriate when communications are not likely to be interrupted (LAN), when a
missing packet in sequences can be overcome (error correction), or when timely
delivery and/or low overhead is a priority
UDP is ideal for real-time networks
Potential problems with TCP - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Creates additional overhead from
confirmation messages, increasing the likelihood of problems (not ideal for live Dante
systems)
When Dante sends media across a network, which can be used? (select two)
- Unicast
- Multicast
- Broadcast - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Unicast or Multicast
IGMP Snooping - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..A tool for managing multicast traffic
Without IGMP Snooping, Multicast behaves like Broadcast
Unicast - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..One-to-one transmission that can cross a router for
transmission
Signal must be duplicated to send to multiple destinations, which can cause strain on
transmitters and switches
Best latency performance
Broadcast - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..One-to-all transmission that does not cross the router
(contained to LAN)
Generally used for locating devices (DHCP) rather than a means for communication
Multicast - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..One-to-many transmission that does not cross the router
(contained to LAN)
Transmissions will only go to destinations that need the communications
Better bandwidth management as channel count rises
IGMP Querier - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Keeps the master list of where all the Multicast
subscriptions go
