Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer 3 Layer 4 Layer 5 Layer 6 Layer 7 Which of the following names are used for the addresses used at the data link layer on an Ethernet network? (Choose 3) Physical address Network address Hierarchical address MAC address Burned-in address How many bits are there in a data link layer Ethernet address? 16 32 48 64 128 How are data link layer Ethernet addresses normally written down? In dotted decimal form As groups of 2 or 4 hexadecimal digits In binary as octets In octal What is the protocol data unit at the data link layer? Segment Packet Frame Datagram
Encapsulation at the data link layer involves: Adding a header Adding a trailer Adding a header and a trailer Changing the IP address to a MAC address

A physical network topology shows: How devices are linked by cables or wireless connections How the network is split into subnets How access to the medium is controlled How the layer 2 and layer 3 addresses are matched Which of the following are characteristics of Ethernet? (Choose 3) Uses tokens to control access to the medium First come-first served access to the medium Deterministic access to the medium Contention-based access to the medium Collisions can occur Large overhead to control access to the medium Which factors are important when you choose the Layer 2 protocol for a network? (Choose 3) Whether it is a LAN or a WAN Whether you will use cable or wireless Whether you will use TCP or UDP Whether you will connect to the Internet or not The number of hosts on the network
Which statements about topologies are true? (Choose 2) Ring, star, bus and mesh are types of physical topology The logical topology is concerned with the way frames are passed from one node to another The physical topology must be the same as the logical topology An Ethernet network always has a physical bus topology The logical topology is the arrangement of the cables
The logical topology determines The arrangement of PCs within a building The method of media access control The type of gateway router required The layer 3 protocol to be used
Which would be the most useful to you if you wanted to check where the network cables run in a building? A knowledge of the logical topology A knowledge of the physical topology

A knowledge of the IP addressing system used A knowledge of the media access control method
What are the two sublayers of the data link layer? Physical access and network access sublayers Logical link control and network access sublayers Logical link control and media access control sublayers CSMA/CD sublayer and media access control sublayer
What is defined by IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Wi-fi Token Ring Logical link control
Which media access control method is used on Ethernet networks? Token passing CSMA/CD CSMA/CA MAC addresses
Which is true of the non-deterministic approach to media access control?

SW
It is first-come-first-served so you cannot predict the order in which hosts will be able to place messages on the medium. It uses token passing so that the order in which hosts place messages on the medium is strictly controlled. The hosts cannot determine whether or not there has been a collision on a shared medium. The medium is not shared, so collisions do not occur.

Which is true of a token ring network? It uses a non-deterministic method of media access control. There should be no collisions because only the host that has the token can place a message on the medium. Its method of media access control has a higher overhead than that of an Ethernet network. It is more efficient than an Ethernet network because collisions are detected more quickly.
A network with a point to point topology: (choose 2) Has only 2 nodes Must be run in half duplex mode Can have a simpler form of media access control than a multiaccess network Is subject to collisions because it has a less sophisticated form of Layer 2 protocol
A link where data can flow successfully in both directions at the same time is operating in: Half duplex mode Full duplex mode Simplex mode Multiplex mode
Why is there more than one data link layer protocol in common use? There is a lack of standardisation and widespread use of proprietary protocols. Certain media and environments need more complex control mechanisms than others to ensure delivery of data. Each network layer protocol needs a different data link layer protocol. LANs need a non-deterministic protocol and WANs need a deterministic protocol.
How would a host on an Ethernet network detect that there is an incoming frame starting to arrive? Each frame starts with a preamble, originally used for synchronisation, and the preamble ends with a frame start delimiter. Frames arrive at fixed intervals so it can predict when the next frame will arrive. The destination address is the first field in the frame, so the host detects a frame when it recognises its own address.

SW
When there is no incoming frame the medium is completely clear, so the host just checks for any activity.
What is the purpose of the frame trailer? Addressing Error checking Showing the frame length Showing the layer 3 protocol used
A message is to be sent from a host on an Ethernet network to a host on a remote network. What MAC address does the host use as the destination address in the frame header? The MAC address of the host on the remote network. Its own MAC address. The MAC address of the local switch. The MAC address of the default gateway.
Which data link layer protocol allows hosts to negotiate multilink, authentication and compression options? Ethernet PPP HDLC ISDN
What is true of Point to Point Protocol? It is commonly used on serial WAN links with only 2 nodes. It is commonly used on LANs that are not subject to collisions. It can be used only on fibre optic links. PPP can be used only when IP is the layer 3 protocol. PPP uses MAC addresses as layer 2 addresses
