ANSWERS | LATEST VERSION
SCENARIO: You have a Dante system that seems to be functioning correctly, there
are no external word clocks configured, no preferred master configured, but there
are still a number of devices that report they are losing sync occasionally. What
steps would you take to find the root cause of the problem? - ..(ANSWER)...-You
suspect that multicast traffic is not able to traverse the network in both directions
(i.e. from master to all slaves, and from all slaves to the master). To check if this is
the case you enable unicast delay requests on the slaves, then monitor the clock
status histogram for evidence of disruption in PTP. When this resolves the
problem you suspect that ACLs blocking multicast on UDP ports 319 and 320 in a
direction from the slave to the master is to blame.
-If IGMP Snooping is enabled, you test the system with no audio and IGMP
Snooping turned off. When this resolves the problem you suspect that IGMP
snooping has been interfering with the distribution of multicast traffic between
the slaves and the master. You enable unicast delay requests on all slaves to
reduce the amount of multicast traffic that the switches need to track via IGMP.
Switches look at ________ - ..(ANSWER)...Destination MAC addresses to forward
frames
Things to consider when building a network from scratch: - ..(ANSWER)...Sizing
links for worst case traffic loads
Dante automatically changes a unicast flow to a multicast flow when necessary. -
..(ANSWER)...False
, 2
Dante uses ______ DSCP tags. - ..(ANSWER)...4
Apart from separate cabling, a ________ can be used to separate broadcast
domains. - ..(ANSWER)...VLAN
In a [________] transaction bandwidth is only consumed on the [________] path
between a receiver and a transmitter. - ..(ANSWER)...unicast, shortest
A session is ________ - ..(ANSWER)...an instance when a connection between two
devices is created to transfer data
A Dante device can have an unlimited number of receive flows. -
..(ANSWER)...False
How do you find out how many transmit flows you are using? - ..(ANSWER)...Tx
tab in Dante controller
An ARP whohas message is ________ - ..(ANSWER)...Broadcast
Giving an external word-clock to a Dante device replaces its internal clock. -
..(ANSWER)...False
, 3
IGMP snooping listens for reports to [________] messages in order to restrict
[________] traffic. - ..(ANSWER)...IGMP query, multicast
ARP tables are held in nodes - ..(ANSWER)...True
Match these layer numbers to the corresponding layer names in the OSI model: -
..(ANSWER)...Layer 7 - Application
Layer 6 - Presentation
Layer 5 - Session
Layer 4 - Transport
Layer 3 - Network
Layer 2 - Datalink
Layer 1 - Physical
Dante devices have a set number of flows. - ..(ANSWER)...True
A Dante receiving device has a latency setting of 1ms. A Dante transmitting device
has a latency setting of 250µs. If a subscription is created between these units,
when will the audio playout of the receiving device? - ..(ANSWER)...1 milli seconds
Sync traffic is the most time critical traffic in a Dante network and is tagged with
DSCP ______. - ..(ANSWER)...56
