DANTE LEVEL 3 STUDY GUIDE 2025/2026 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔Routers do not use IP addresses- they only use MAC addresses. - ✔✔False
✔✔The amount of bandwidth used by a multicast flow varies based on the number of
transmitting channels. - ✔✔True
✔✔A unicast Dante flow allows for the use of much lower latency settings than a
multicast flow. - ✔✔True
✔✔What is an example of a concern IT Administrators may have with multicast? -
✔✔Multicast potentially floods throughout the network if a multicast management
strategy like IGMP Snooping is not engaged
✔✔A network solution allows a group of devices to connect and can interoperate
together. - ✔✔True
✔✔Key resource considerations for a successful Dante network should address
network infrastructure and the Dante hardware for the project. Designers should
consider: (select all that apply) - ✔✔Enough bandwidth within the switch
Enough Rx flows in Dante devices
Enough bandwidth on trunk lines
Enough Tx flows in Dante devices
✔✔QoS will not have a positive effect on constant bandwidth services. - ✔✔True
✔✔ARP tables are held in nodes (e.g. - Dante devices, laptops, and other network
endpoints). - ✔✔True
✔✔How much bandwidth does a unicast audio flow use? (Assume 48kHz, 24-bit.) -
✔✔6mbps
✔✔An ARP whohas message is - ✔✔Broadcast
✔✔To stop multicast traffic from flooding the network, __________ can be used. -
✔✔IGMP
✔✔A unicast flow is created by a transmitter alone. - ✔✔False
✔✔Your Dante network is working great. Dante Controller works fine on one computer,
but another computer only shows device names... even when you use the same
, network cable/port for each computer. What are potential cause(s) of this? - ✔✔All of
the above
✔✔QoS can protect Dante's time critical services from temporary bandwidth spikes
coming from other traffic on the network. - ✔✔True
✔✔What is the key aim of a network service? - ✔✔Interoperability
✔✔A switch populates its [ ? ] by observing the source [ ? ] of ARP requests and
responses passing through. - ✔✔MAC Address Table
MAC addresses
✔✔QoS sorts packets in to priority queues based on their ______ tags. Dante packets
will tag packets with values of 56 for clocking, 46 for audio/video media and 8 for
control. - ✔✔DSCP
✔✔On a Unicast transmission, a transmitter and receiver have latency settings of
4msec and 2msec, respectively. When will the audio playout of the receiving device? -
✔✔4 milli second
✔✔A network session is, - ✔✔an instance when a connection between two devices is
created to transfer data
✔✔What steps should be taken in order to segment a broadcast domain? -
✔✔Establish VLANs to break the network in to groups - broadcast traffic does not cross
the VLAN.
✔✔Dante devices have a maximum number of flows. - ✔✔True
✔✔Multicast traffic can take more time to pass through a switch when IGMP snooping is
enabled. - ✔✔True - With IGMP Snooping engaged, the switch will need to reference a
subscription lists to find who to send the packet to, then forward the packet
appropriately.
✔✔A transmit flow is a sequence of packets from multiple port addresses. - ✔✔False
✔✔Dante Controller provides a diagnostic graph for checking the [ ? ] of flows between
two devices. - ✔✔Latency
✔✔If 3 channels are being sent within 1 unicast flow, how much bandwidth is being
used? (sample rate 48KHz/24-bit) - ✔✔6mbps
