9. Question

Refer to the exhibit. The exhibit shows a small switched network and the contents of the MAC address table of the switch. PC1 has sent a frame addressed to PC3. What will the switch do with the frame?

The switch will forward the frame only to port 2.
The switch will forward the frame to all ports except port 4.
The switch will forward the frame to all ports.

10. Question

Which switching method uses the CRC value in a frame?

cut-through
fast-forward
fragment-free
store-and-forward

11. Question

What is auto-MDIX?

a type of Cisco switch
an Ethernet connector type
a type of port on a Cisco switch
a feature that detects Ethernet cable type

12. Question

True or False?
When a device is sending data to another device on a remote network, the Ethernet frame is sent to the MAC address of the default gateway.

true
false

13. Question

The ARP table in a switch maps which two types of address together?

Layer 3 address to a Layer 2 address
Layer 3 address to a Layer 4 address
Layer 4 address to a Layer 2 address
Layer 2 address to a Layer 4 address

14. Question

Refer to the exhibit. PC1 issues an ARP request because it needs to send a packet to PC2. In this scenario, what will happen next?

CCNA1 v6.0 Chapter 5 Exam 004

PC2 will send an ARP reply with its MAC address.
RT1 will send an ARP reply with its Fa0/0 MAC address.
RT1 will send an ARP reply with the PC2 MAC address.
SW1 will send an ARP reply with the PC2 MAC address.
SW1 will send an ARP reply with its Fa0/1 MAC address.

15. Question

Refer to the exhibit. A switch with a default configuration connects four hosts. The ARP table for host A is shown. What happens when host A wants to send an IP packet to host D?

CCNA1 v6.0 Chapter 5 Exam 003

Host A sends an ARP request to the MAC address of host D.
Host D sends an ARP request to host A.
Host A sends out the packet to the switch. The switch sends the packet only to the host D, which in turn responds.
Host A sends out a broadcast of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Every other host connected to the switch receives the broadcast and host D responds with its MAC address.

16. Question

Refer to the exhibit. The switches are in their default configuration. Host A needs to communicate with host D, but host A does not have the MAC address for its default gateway. Which network hosts will receive the ARP request sent by host A?

CCNA1 v6.0 Chapter 5 Exam 002

only host D
only router R1
only hosts A, B, and C
only hosts A, B, C, and D
only hosts B and C
only hosts B, C, and router R1

17. Question

Which statement describes the treatment of ARP requests on the local link?

They must be forwarded by all routers on the local network.
They are received and processed by every device on the local network.
They are dropped by all switches on the local network.
They are received and processed only by the target device.

18. Question

What are two potential network problems that can result from ARP operation? (Choose two.)

Manually configuring static ARP associations could facilitate ARP poisoning or MAC address spoofing.
On large networks with low bandwidth, multiple ARP broadcasts could cause data communication delays.
Network attackers could manipulate MAC address and IP address mappings in ARP messages with the intent of intercepting network traffic.
Large numbers of ARP request broadcasts could cause the host MAC address table to overflow and prevent the host from communicating on the network.
Multiple ARP replies result in the switch MAC address table containing entries that match the MAC addresses of hosts that are connected to the relevant switch port.

19. Question

Fill in the blank.
A collision fragment, also known as a ………………….. frame, is a frame of fewer than 64 bytes in length.

20. Question

Fill in the blank.
On a Cisco switch, ……………………….. memory buffering is used to buffer frames in queues linked to specific incoming and outgoing ports.

21. Question

Fill in the blank.
ARP ………………….. is a technique that is used to send fake ARP messages to other hosts in the LAN. The aim is to associate IP addresses to the wrong MAC addresses.

22. Question

Sort elements

low latency
may forward runt frames
begins forwarding when the destination address is received
always stores the entire frame
checks the CRC before forwarding
checks the frame length before forwarding
does not forward broadcasts

cut-through
cut-through
cut-through
store-and-forward

23. Question

What is the minimum Ethernet frame size that will not be discarded by the receiver as a runt frame?

64 bytes
512 bytes
1024 bytes
1500 bytes

24. Question

What is a characteristic of port-based memory buffering?

All frames are stored in a common memory buffer.
Frames are buffered in queues linked to specific ports.
All ports on a switch share a single memory buffer.
Frames in the memory buffer are dynamically linked to destination ports.

25. Question

What is the aim of an ARP spoofing attack?

to flood the network with ARP reply broadcasts
to fill switch MAC address tables with bogus addresses
to associate IP addresses to the wrong MAC address
to overwhelm network hosts with ARP requests
