DANTE LEVEL 2 TEST 2025 UPDATED ACTUAL EXAM WITH CORRECT SOLUTIONS.
How does precision time protocol (PTP) work in dante devices? - (ANSWER)The clock leader dstributes a
very accurate date-time reference. Each follower derives the required sample rate or frame rate from
this leader.
What is the golden rule for commissioning redundant networks? - (ANSWER)Work on one network at a
time, verify that devices are not set to switched mode
How much switching capacity is needed for a switch with 10 1 Gbps ports? - (ANSWER)20 Gbps-10 Gbps
both ways on each port
When would be a good time to consider engaging QoS? - (ANSWER)Whenever 100 Mbps dante devices
are on the network
When ports begin to approach saturation, around 60-80%.
When we have traffic on a converged network, so there is something to de-prioritize
How many switches should be IGMP querier? - (ANSWER)Only one
DSCP values range from 0-63. What is that used for in QoS? - (ANSWER)When configuring the switch,
you can determine which DSCP values will lead to which queue.
How can you monitor Dante traffic performance? - (ANSWER)Dante controller latency screen-shows
packet arrival times. Counts as a late packet if it doesn't make it within the latency window.
When should IGMP snooping or any multicast management be considered for a dante network? -
(ANSWER)When the estimated multicast bandwidth may approach a network ports saturation point,
impacting performance.
TCP vs UDP - (ANSWER)TCP: A connection with delivery verification. Good for general internet traffic
where dropped packets are likely.
