CORRECT ANSWERS | GRADED A+ | VERIFIED
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
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

Layer 6 - Presentation
Layer 5 - Session
Layer 4 - Transport
Layer 3 - Network
Layer 2 - Datalink
Layer 1 - Physical
