DANTE LEVEL 3 END OF COURSE 2025/2026 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS RATED A+
of Dante are completely satisfied by a COTS infrastructure - ✔✔True
✔✔What is the result of the following situation: Music is playing through a Dante system
that is using an external word clock. The word clock is connected to a single Dante
device, which has "Enable Sync to External" and "Preferred Master" checked in the
Dante Controller Clock Status tab, and is also correctly configured in the hardware
settings of the device. The word clock gets disconnected and... - ✔✔...the sound of
silence becomes readily apparent because the Dante devices mute due to the loss of
sync. (Clock master trying to chase the disconnected word clock)
✔✔A switch connects its interfaces together by referencing its [________] . - ✔✔MAC
address table?
✔✔You have purchased a Dante-enabled device with a Brooklyn2 inside. How many
unicast flows are needed to transport 64 audio channels? - ✔✔16 flows
✔✔QoS protects against too much bandwidth being used on a link. - ✔✔False
✔✔A reply to ARP whohas message is - ✔✔Unicast
✔✔It is recommended for the backplane of a switch to be able to accommodate full
bandwidth use of all ports in both directions. - ✔✔True
✔✔Dante uses ______ for clocking. - ✔✔PTP
✔✔SCENARIO: Your Dante network is live. When you power up Dante controller on
your laptop, you notice that only device names seem to show, and you are unable to
see channel names. What is the likely cause of this? - ✔✔Anti-virus firewall or other
security software
✔✔Collision domains are a practical concern on a switched network - ✔✔False
✔✔What is the key aim of a network? - ✔✔Interoperability
✔✔A [________] can either permit or block a/an [________] or a port on a particular
transport protocol. - ✔✔firewall, IP address
✔✔A network is a group of devices that connect and can interoperate together. -
✔✔True
, ✔✔The CPU in a switch can slow down multicast traffic when IGMP snooping is
enabled - ✔✔True
✔✔Switches can [________] data if there is contention on an interface. - ✔✔queue
✔✔OSI model is a __________. - ✔✔Conceptual model
✔✔When a Dante enabled device is plugged into a network, how does the Dante
Controller discover it? - ✔✔By listening to the device's announcement using mDNS
✔✔QoS protects against unexpected temporary peaks in bandwidth that may affect
time critical services. - ✔✔True
✔✔A Dante receiving device has a latency setting of 1ms. A Dante transmitting device
has a latency setting of 2ms. If a subscription is created between these units, when will
the audio playout of the receiving device? - ✔✔2 milli seconds
✔✔ARP stands for - ✔✔Address Resolution Protocol
✔✔The amount of bandwidth used by a multicast flow vary based on number of
channels. - ✔✔True
✔✔All managed switches come from the factory with all of their configuration settings
disabled. - ✔✔False
✔✔Traffic on the public internet is unicast - ✔✔True
✔✔How much bandwidth does a unicast flow at 48KHz/24-bit sample rate use? -
✔✔6mbps
✔✔Dante requires strict priority queuing when QoS is used. - ✔✔True
✔✔Dante is best used on switches with at least_______ queues. - ✔✔4
✔✔SCENARIO: You have a Dante system installed in which you can see more than
one device reported as clock master in the clock status tab of Dante Controller. There
are no layer 2 tunnels, or any other 'advanced' configuration in the network. You also
notice that devices are reporting that they lose sync occasionally. What steps would you
take to find the root cause of the problem? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY) - ✔✔-Check
switch configurations for any evidence of ACLs being configured. Check that all PTP
traffic can traverse the network in both directions to all switches - specifically UDP ports
