DANTE CERTIFICATION LEVEL 2 2ND EDITION
COMPREHENSIVE EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
◉ Match the clocking roles with their explanations. Answer: Boundary
clock - a device that accepts a clock from another source, then feeds that
clock to other devices.
Primary clock - a device that is the original time reference for all other
devices on the network.
Follower - A device that accepts a clock from another source
◉ What is the main purpose of using a GPS clock. Answer: It offers a
steady time reference at any location on earth, overcoming the network
jitter of long-distance connections. (long distance can mean hundreds or
thousands of miles.
◉ Scenario: You are the AV manager for a facility that has an
auditorium, meeting spaces, and background music/paging system all on
a flat, Layer 2 network. The technicians in the auditorium often change
subscriptions on their devices as different events roll through, but the
other domains do not require custom patching much.
, Problem: From time to time, the AV technicians mistakenly patch to
devices in the meeting spaces or BGM system. That in turn breaks
patching that was already in place. The technicians don't always realize
they made a mistake, at which point someone needs to go and figure out
what went wrong.
We could certainly use a Dante Preset to quickly restore the BGM and
meeting spaces when this sort of thing happens, but that is after-the-fact
and after the problem has been seen by others.
What could be done to prevent these accidental mistakes in the first
place. Answer: Add Dante Domain Manager, and place the auditorium in
a separate domain from the other functional group(s).
◉ You have a very large Dante deployment that will span multiple
subnets. You really don't want to enter all the device IP addresses
manually - what can you use to automatically discover devices across
subnets?
HTTPS. Answer: DNS-SD
◉ When you connect Dante Controller to a network, you notice some
Dante device listings are shown in red. What might cause this? (Select
all that Apply). Answer: Dante devices are in a different subnet than the
computer running Dante controller.
Dante Controller might be expecting to see devices on the primary
network, but it connected to the secondary (or vice versa).
