6. A network administrator is measuring the transfer of


bits across the company backbone for a mission
critical financial application. The administrator notices
that the network throughput appears lower than the
bandwidth expected. Which three factors could
influence the differences in throughput? (Choose
three.)

the amount of traffic that is currently crossing the


network
the sophistication of the encapsulation method applied
to the data
the type of traffic that is crossing the network
the latency that is created by the number of
network devices that the data is crossing
the bandwidth of the WAN connection to the Internet
the reliability of the gigabit Ethernet infrastructure of
the backbone

Explanation: Throughput usually does not match the


specified bandwidth of physical links due to multiple
factors. These factors include, the amount of traffic,
type of traffic, and latency created by the network
devices the data has to cross.

7. What are two characteristics of fiber-optic cable? 


(Choose two.)

It is not affected by EMI or RFI.


Each pair of cables is wrapped in metallic foil.
It combines the technique of cancellation, shielding,
and twisting to protect data.

29/01/2022, 16:58 CCNA 1 v7 Modules 4 - 7: Ethernet Concepts Exam Answers

It typically contains 4 pairs of fiber-optic wires.


It is more expensive than UTP cabling is.

Explanation: Fiber-optic cabling supports higher


bandwidth than UTP for longer distances. Fiber is
immune to EMI and RFI, but costs more, requires more
skill to install, and requires more safety precautions.

8. What is a primary role of the Physical layer in


transmitting data on the network?

create the signals that represent the bits in each


frame on to the media
provide physical addressing to the devices
determine the path packets take through the network
control data access to the media

Explanation: The OSI physical layer provides the


means to transport the bits that make up a frame
across the network media. This layer accepts a
complete frame from the data link layer and encodes it
as a series of signals that are transmitted to the local
media.

9. With the use of unshielded twisted-pair copper wire


in a network, what causes crosstalk within the cable
pairs?

the magnetic field around the adjacent pairs of


wire
the use of braided wire to shield the adjacent wire
pairs
the reflection of the electrical wave back from the far
end of the cable
the collision caused by two nodes trying to use the
media simultaneously


Explanation: Crosstalk is a type of noise, or
interference that occurs when signal transmission on
one wire interferes with another wire. When current
flows through a wire a magnetic field is produced. The
produced magnetic field will interface the signal carried
in the adjacent wire.

10. Refer to the graphic. What type of cabling is


shown?

STP
UTP
coax
fiber

Explanation: Network cabling include different types of


cables:
UTP cable consists of four pairs of color-coded
wires that have been twisted together and then
encased in a flexible plastic sheath.
STP cable uses four pairs of wires, each wrapped
in a foil shield, which are then wrapped in an overall
metallic braid or foil.
Coaxial cable uses a copper conductor and a
layer of flexible plastic insulation surrounds the
copper conductor.
Fiber cable is a flexible, extremely thin,
transparent strand of glass surrounded by plastic
insulation.

11. In addition to the cable length, what two factors


could interfere with the communication carried over
UTP cables? (Choose two.)

crosstalk
bandwidth
size of the network

signal modulation technique
electromagnetic interference

distance and signal interference. Data is transmitted on


copper cables as electrical pulses. The electrical
pulses are susceptible to interference from two
sources:
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio
frequency interference (RFI) – EMI and RFI signals
can distort and corrupt the data signals being carried
by copper media.
Crosstalk – Crosstalk is a disturbance caused by
the electric or magnetic fields of a signal on one wire
interfering with the signal in an adjacent wire.

12. Refer to the graphic. What type of cabling is


shown?

STP
UTP
coax
fiber
13. Which two devices commonly affect wireless
networks? (Choose two.)

Blu-ray players
home theaters
cordless phones
microwaves
incandescent light bulbs
external hard drives

Explanation: Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is 


the interference that is caused by radio transmitters
and other devices that are transmitting in the same
frequency.

14. Which two statements describe the services


provided by the data link layer? (Choose two.)
https://itexamanswers.net/ccna-1-v7-modules-4-7-ethernet-concepts-exam-answers.html 6/34
29/01/2022, 16:58 CCNA 1 v7 Modules 4 - 7: Ethernet Concepts Exam Answers

It defines the end-to-end delivery addressing scheme.


It maintains the path between the source and
destination devices during the data transmission.
It manages the access of frames to the network
media.
It provides reliable delivery through link establishment
and flow control.
It ensures that application data will be transmitted
according to the prioritization.
It packages various Layer 3 PDUs into a frame
format that is compatible with the network interface.

Explanation: The data link layer is divided into two


sub layers, namely Logical Link Control (LLC) and
Media Access Control (MAC). LLC forms a frame from
the network layer PDU into a format that conforms to
the requirements of the network interface and media. A
network layer PDU might be for IPv4 or IPv6. The MAC
sub layer defines the media access processes
performed by the hardware. It manages the frame
access to the network media according to the physical
signaling requirements (copper cable, fiber optic,
wireless, etc.)

15. What is the function of the CRC value that is found


in the FCS field of a frame?

to verify the integrity of the received frame


to verify the physical address in the frame
to verify the logical address in the frame
to compute the checksum header for the data field in
the frame
16. What is contained in the trailer of a data-link frame?

logical address
physical address
data
error detection
17. Which statement describes a characteristic of the

frame header fields of the data link layer?

They all include the flow control and logical connection


fields.
Ethernet frame header fields contain Layer 3 source
and destination addresses.
https://itexamanswers.net/ccna-1-v7-modules-4-7-ethernet-concepts-exam-answers.html 7/34
29/01/2022, 16:58 CCNA 1 v7 Modules 4 - 7: Ethernet Concepts Exam Answers

They vary depending on protocols.


They include information on user applications.

Explanation: All data link layer protocols encapsulate


the Layer 3 PDU within the data field of the frame.
However, the structure of the frame and the fields that
are contained in the header vary according to the
protocol. Different data link layer protocols may use
different fields, like priority/quality of service, logical
connection control, physical link control, flow control,
and congestion control.

18. A network team is comparing physical WAN


topologies for connecting remote sites to a
headquarters building. Which topology provides high
availability and connects some, but not all, remote
sites?

mesh
partial mesh
hub and spoke
point-to-point

Explanation: Partial mesh topologies provide high


availability by interconnecting multiple remote sites, but
do not require a connection between all remote sites. A
mesh topology requires point-to-point links with every
system being connected to every other system. A
point-to-point topology is where each device is
connected to one other device. A hub and spoke uses
a central device in a star topology that connects to
other point-to-point devices.

19. Which two fields or features does Ethernet examine


to determine if a received frame is passed to the data
link layer or discarded by the NIC? (Choose two.)

auto-MDIX

CEF
Frame Check Sequence
minimum frame size
source MAC address
20. Which media communication type does not require
media arbitration in the data link layer?
https://itexamanswers.net/ccna-1-v7-modules-4-7-ethernet-concepts-exam-answers.html 8/34
29/01/2022, 16:58 CCNA 1 v7 Modules 4 - 7: Ethernet Concepts Exam Answers

deterministic
half-duplex
full-duplex
controlled access

Explanation: Half-duplex communication occurs when


both devices can both transmit and receive on the
medium but cannot do so simultaneously. Full-duplex
communication occurs when both devices can transmit
and receive on the medium at the same time and
therefore does not require media arbitration. Half-
duplex communication is typically contention-based,
whereas controlled (deterministic) access is applied in
technologies where devices take turns to access the
medium.

21. Which statement describes an extended star


topology?

End devices connect to a central intermediate


device, which in turn connects to other central
intermediate devices.
End devices are connected together by a bus and
each bus connects to a central intermediate device.
Each end system is connected to its respective
neighbor via an intermediate device.
All end and intermediate devices are connected in a
chain to each other.

Explanation: In an extended star topology, central


intermediate devices interconnect other star
topologies.

22. What is a characteristic of the LLC sublayer?

It provides the logical addressing required that


identifies the device.
It provides delimitation of data according to the

physical signaling requirements of the medium.
It places information in the frame allowing multiple
Layer 3 protocols to use the same network interface
and media.
It defines software processes that provide services to
the physical layer.

23. What are three ways that media access control is


used in networking? (Choose three.)

Ethernet utilizes CSMA/CD.


Media access control provides placement of data
frames onto the media.
Contention-based access is also known as
deterministic.
802.11 utilizes CSMA/CD.
Data link layer protocols define the rules for
access to different media.
Networks with controlled access have reduced
performance due to data collisions.
24. During the encapsulation process, what occurs at
the data link layer for a PC connected to an Ethernet
network?

An IP address is added.
The logical address is added.
The physical address is added.
The process port number is added.

Explanation: The Ethernet frame includes the source


and destination physical address. The trailer includes a
CRC value in the Frame Check Sequence field to allow
the receiving device to determine if the frame has been
changed (has errors) during the transmission.

25. What three items are contained in an Ethernet


header and trailer? (Choose three.)

source IP address
source MAC address
destination IP address
destination MAC address
error-checking information

Explanation: Layer 2 headers contain the following:


Frame start and stop indicator flags at the 
beginning and end of a frame
Addressing – for Ethernet networks this part of
the header contains source and destination MAC
addresses
Type field to indicate what Layer 3 protocol is
being used

Error detection to determine if the frame arrived


without error

26. What type of communication rule would best


describe CSMA/CD?

access method
flow control
message encapsulation
message encoding

Explanation: Carrier sense multiple access collision


detection (CSMA/CD) is the access method used with
Ethernet. The access method rule of communication
dictates how a network device is able to place a signal
on the carrier. CSMA/CD dictates those rules on an
Ethernet network and CSMA/CA dictates those rules
on an 802.11 wireless LAN.

27. Which three basic parts are common to all frame


types supported by the data link layer? (Choose three.)

header
type field
MTU size
data
trailer
CRC value

Explanation: The data link protocol is responsible for


NIC-to-NIC communications within the same network.
Although there are many different data link layer
protocols that describe data link layer frames, each
frame type has three basic parts:
Header
Data
Trailer

28. Which statement is true about the CSMA/CD access
method that is used in Ethernet?

When a device hears a carrier signal and transmits, a


collision cannot occur.

29/01/2022, 16:58 CCNA 1 v7 Modules 4 - 7: Ethernet Concepts Exam Answers

A jamming signal causes only devices that caused the


collision to execute a backoff algorithm.
All network devices must listen before
transmitting.
Devices involved in a collision get priority to transmit
after the backoff period.
29. What is the auto-MDIX feature on a switch?

the automatic configuration of an interface for


10/100/1000 Mb/s operation
the automatic configuration of an interface for a
straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable
connection
the automatic configuration of full-duplex operation
over a single Ethernet copper or optical cable
the ability to turn a switch interface on or off
accordingly if an active connection is detected

Explanation: The auto-MDIX enables a switch to use


a crossover or a straight-through Ethernet cable to
connect to a device regardless of the device on the
other end of the connection.

30. Refer to the exhibit. What is the destination MAC


address of the Ethernet frame as it leaves the web
server if the final destination is PC1?


00-60-2F-3A-07-AA
00-60-2F-3A-07-BB
00-60-2F-3A-07-CC
00-60-2F-3A-07-DD

29/01/2022, 16:58 CCNA 1 v7 Modules 4 - 7: Ethernet Concepts Exam Answers

Explanation: The destination MAC address is used for


local delivery of Ethernet frames. The MAC (Layer 2)
address changes at each network segment along the
path. As the frame leaves the web server, it will be
delivered by using the MAC address of the default
gateway.

31. A Layer 2 switch is used to switch incoming frames


from a 1000BASE-T port to a port connected to a
100Base-T network. Which method of memory buffering
would work best for this task?

port-based buffering
level 1 cache buffering
shared memory buffering
fixed configuration buffering

Explanation: With shared memory buffering, the


number of frames stored in the buffer is restricted only
by the of the entire memory buffer and not limited to a
single port buffer. This permits larger frames to be
transmitted with fewer dropped frames. This is
important to asymmetric switching, which applies to
this scenario, where frames are being exchanged
between ports of different rates. With port-based
memory buffering, frames are stored in queues that are
linked to specific incoming and outgoing ports making it
possible for a single frame to delay the transmission of
all the frames in memory because of a busy destination
port. Level 1 cache is memory used in a CPU. Fixed
configuration refers to the port arrangement in switch
hardware.

32. What are two examples of the cut-through switching


method? (Choose two.)

store-and-forward switching 
fast-forward switching
CRC switching
fragment-free switching
QOS switching

https://itexamanswers.net/ccna-1-v7-modules-4-7-ethernet-concepts-exam-answers.html 13/34
29/01/2022, 16:58 CCNA 1 v7 Modules 4 - 7: Ethernet Concepts Exam Answers

Explanation: Store-and forward switching accepts the


entire frame and performs error checking using CRC
before forwarding the frame. Store-and-forward is often
required for QOS analysis. Fast-forward and fragment-
free are both variations of the cut-through switching
method where only part of the frame is received before
the switch begins to forward it.

33. Which frame forwarding method receives the entire


frame and performs a CRC check to detect errors
before forwarding the frame?

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

Explanation: Fast-forward and fragment-free


switching are variations of cut-through switching, which
begins to forward the frame before the entire frame is
received.

34. What is the purpose of the FCS field in a frame?

to obtain the MAC address of the sending node


to verify the logical address of the sending node
to compute the CRC header for the data field
to determine if errors occurred in the transmission
and reception

Explanation: The FCS field in a frame is used to


detect any errors in the transmission and receipt of a
frame. This is done by comparing the CRC value within
the frame against a computed CRC value of the frame.
If the two values do not match, then the frame is
discarded.

35. Which switching method has the lowest level of
latency?

cut-through
store-and-forward
fragment-free
https://itexamanswers.net/ccna-1-v7-modules-4-7-ethernet-concepts-exam-answers.html 14/34
29/01/2022, 16:58 CCNA 1 v7 Modules 4 - 7: Ethernet Concepts Exam Answers

fast-forward

Explanation: Fast-forward switching begins to forward


a frame after reading the destination MAC address,
resulting in the lowest latency. Fragment-free reads the
first 64 bytes before forwarding. Store-and-forward has
the highest latency because it reads the entire frame
before beginning to forward it. Both fragment-free and
fast-forward are types of cut-through switching.

36. A network administrator is connecting two modern


switches using a straight-through cable. The switches
are new and have never been configured. Which three
statements are correct about the final result of the
connection? (Choose three.)

The link between the switches will work at the


fastest speed that is supported by both switches.
The link between switches will work as full-duplex.
If both switches support different speeds, they will
each work at their own fastest speed.
The auto-MDIX feature will configure the interfaces
eliminating the need for a crossover cable.
The connection will not be possible unless the
administrator changes the cable to a crossover cable.
The duplex capability has to be manually configured
because it cannot be negotiated.

Explanation: Modern switches can negotiate to work


in full-duplex mode if both switches are capable. They
will negotiate to work using the fastest possible speed
and the auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default, so a
cable change is not needed.

37. Which advantage does the store-and-forward


switching method have compared with the cut-through
switching method?

collision detecting
frame error checking
faster frame forwarding
frame forwarding using IPv4 Layer 3 and 4 information

https://itexamanswers.net/ccna-1-v7-modules-4-7-ethernet-concepts-exam-answers.html 15/34
29/01/2022, 16:58 CCNA 1 v7 Modules 4 - 7: Ethernet Concepts Exam Answers

Explanation: A switch using the store-and-forward


switching method performs an error check on an
incoming frame by comparing the FCS value against
its own FCS calculations after the entire frame is
received. In comparison, a switch using the cut-through
switching method makes quick forwarding decisions
and starts the forwarding process without waiting for
the entire frame to be received. Thus a switch using
cut-through switching may send invalid frames to the
network. The performance of store-and-forward
switching is slower compared to cut-through switching
performance. Collision detection is monitored by the
sending device. Store-and-forward switching does not
use IPv4 Layer 3 and 4 information for its forwarding
decisions.

38. When the store-and-forward method of switching is


in use, what part of the Ethernet frame is used to
perform an error check?

CRC in the trailer


source MAC address in the header
destination MAC address in the header
protocol type in the header

Explanation: The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) part


of the trailer is used to determine if the frame has been
modified during transit.​If the integrity of the frame is
verified, the frame is forwarded. If the integrity of the
frame cannot be verified, then the frame is dropped.

39. Which switching method uses the CRC value in a


frame?

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

Explanation: When the store-and-forward switching


method is used, the switch receives the complete
frame before forwarding it on to the destination. The
cyclic redundancy check (CRC) part of the trailer is
https://itexamanswers.net/ccna-1-v7-modules-4-7-ethernet-concepts-exam-answers.html 16/34
29/01/2022, 16:58 CCNA 1 v7 Modules 4 - 7: Ethernet Concepts Exam Answers

used to determine if the frame has been modified


during transit.​​In contrast, a cut-through switch
forwards the frame once the destination Layer 2
address is read. Two types of cut-through switching
methods are fast-forward and fragment-free.

40. What are two actions performed by a Cisco switch?


(Choose two.)

building a routing table that is based on the first IP


address in the frame header
using the source MAC addresses of frames to
build and maintain a MAC address table
forwarding frames with unknown destination IP
addresses to the default gateway
utilizing the MAC address table to forward frames
via the destination MAC address
examining the destination MAC address to add new
entries to the MAC address table

Explanation: Important actions that a switch performs


are as follows:
When a frame comes in, the switch examines the
Layer 2 source address to build and maintain the
Layer 2 MAC address table.
It examines the Layer 2 destination address to
determine how to forward the frame. When the
destination address is in the MAC address table,
then the frame is sent out a particular port. When the
address is unknown, the frame is sent to all ports
that have devices connected to that network.

41. Which two statements describe features or


functions of the logical link control sublayer in Ethernet
standards? (Choose two.)

Logical link control is implemented in software.


Logical link control is specified in the IEEE 802.3
standard.

The LLC sublayer adds a header and a trailer to the
data.
The data link layer uses LLC to communicate with
the upper layers of the protocol suite.

https://itexamanswers.net/ccna-1-v7-modules-4-7-ethernet-concepts-exam-answers.html 17/34
29/01/2022, 16:58 CCNA 1 v7 Modules 4 - 7: Ethernet Concepts Exam Answers

The LLC sublayer is responsible for the placement and


retrieval of frames on and off the media.

Explanation: Logical link control is implemented in


software and enables the data link layer to
communicate with the upper layers of the protocol
suite. Logical link control is specified in the IEEE 802.2
standard. IEEE 802.3 is a suite of standards that define
the different Ethernet types. The MAC (Media Access
Control) sublayer is responsible for the placement and
retrieval of frames on and off the media. The MAC
sublayer is also responsible for adding a header and a
trailer to the network layer protocol data unit (PDU).

42. What is the auto-MDIX feature?

It enables a device to automatically configure an


interface to use a straight-through or a crossover
cable.
It enables a device to automatically configure the
duplex settings of a segment.
It enables a device to automatically configure the
speed of its interface.
It enables a switch to dynamically select the
forwarding method.

Explanation: The auto-MDIX feature allows the device


to configure its network port according to the cable
type that is used (straight-through or crossover) and
the type of device that is connected to that port. When
a port of a switch is configured with auto-MDIX, this
switch can be connected to another switch by the use
of either a straight-through cable or a crossover cable.

43. What is one advantage of using the cut-through


switching method instead of the store-and-forward
switching method? 
has a positive impact on bandwidth by dropping most
of the invalid frames
makes a fast forwarding decision based on the source
MAC address of the frame

https://itexamanswers.net/ccna-1-v7-modules-4-7-ethernet-concepts-exam-answers.html 18/34

has a lower latency appropriate for high-


performance computing applications​
provides the flexibility to support any mix of Ethernet
speeds

Explanation: Cut-through switching provides lower


latency switching for high-performance computing
(HPC) applications. Cut-through switching allows more
invalid frames to cross the network than store-and-
forward switching. The cut-through switching method
can make a forwarding decision as soon as it looks up
the destination MAC address of the frame.

44. Which is a multicast MAC address?

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
5C-26-0A-4B-19-3E
01-00-5E-00-00-03
00-26-0F-4B-00-3E
45. Refer to the exhibit. What is wrong with the
displayed termination?

The woven copper braid should not have been


removed.
The wrong type of connector is being used.
The untwisted length of each wire is too long.
The wires are too thick for the connector that is used.

Explanation: When a cable to an RJ-45 connector is
terminated, it is important to ensure that the untwisted
wires are not too long and that the flexible plastic
sheath surrounding the wires is crimped down and not
the bare wires. None of the colored wires should be
visible from the bottom of the jack.

46. Refer to the exhibit. The PC is connected to the


console port of the switch. All the other connections
are made through FastEthernet links. Which types of
UTP cables can be used to connect the devices?​

1 – rollover, 2 – crossover, 3 – straight-through


1 – rollover, 2 – straight-through, 3 – crossover
1 – crossover, 2 – straight-through, 3 – rollover
1 – crossover, 2 – rollover, 3 – straight-through

Explanation: A straight-through cable is commonly


used to interconnect a host to a switch and a switch to
a router. A crossover cable is used to interconnect
similar devices together like switch to a switch, a host
to a host, or a router to a router. If a switch has the
MDIX capability, a crossover could be used to connect
the switch to the router; however, that option is not
available. A rollover cable is used to connect to a
router or switch console port.

Which port does Switch0 use to send frames to the


host with the IPv4 address 10.1.1.5?

Fa0/1
Fa0/5
Fa0/9
Fa0/11

Explanation: Issuing the command ipconfig /all from


the PC0 command prompt displays the IPv4 address
and MAC address. When the IPv4 address 10.1.1.5 is
pinged from PC0, the switch stores the source MAC
address (from PC0) along with the port to which PC0 is
connected. When the destination reply is received, the
switch takes the destination MAC address and
compares to MAC addresses stored in the MAC
address table. Issuing the show mac-address-
table on the PC0 Terminal application displays two
dynamic MAC address entries. The MAC address and
port entry that does not belong to PC0 must be the
MAC address and port of the destination with the IPv4
address 10.1.1.5.

48. What does the term “attenuation” mean in data


communication?

loss of signal strength as distance increases


time for a signal to reach its destination
leakage of signals from one cable pair to another
strengthening of a signal by a networking device

Explanation: Data is transmitted on copper cables as 


electrical pulses. A detector in the network interface of
a destination device must receive a signal that can be
successfully decoded to match the signal sent.
However, the farther the signal travels, the more it
deteriorates. This is referred to as signal attenuation.

49. What makes fiber preferable to copper cabling for


interconnecting buildings? (Choose three.)

greater distances per cable run


lower installation cost
limited susceptibility to EMI/RFI
durable connections
