Computer Networks Final Exam Q&A
A network device is capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving data. Which mode is that
device operating in? - =Full-Duplex
A switch receives a frame with a destination MAC address that is unknown. How will the switch handle
the frame? - =It will flood the frame out all ports, except the port is was received on
What role does the frame check sequence perform in an Ethernet frame? - =Error detection
A MAC address is 48 bits in length. The first 24 bits of a MAC address is compromised of the OUI. What is
significant about the OUI? - =It identifies the manufacturer of the NIC
A switch receives a frame. The source MAC address is unknown when the frame is received. How will
the switch handle that frame? - =It will add the source MAC address to its ARP table and forward the
frame
You need to provide network connectivity to 150 client computers that will reside in the same sub
network, and each client computer must be allocated dedicated bandwidth. Which device should you
use to accomplish the task? - =Switch

MAC addresses

Select the correct statement regarding an 8-port Ethernet hub. - =Includes one collision domain and one
broadcast domain
For an interface on a router to forward traffic, the interface must: - =Have an IP address assigned

of other bus activity. - =FALSE
Network topology refers to the way individual end stations access the network prior to transmission of
user data. - =FALSE
