6. Which two statements are correct about MAC and IP addresses during data transmission if NAT is not involved? (Choose two.)

1.Destination and source MAC addresses have local significance and change every time a frame goes from one LAN to another.
 
2.Destination IP addresses in a packet header remain constant along the entire path to a target host.

3. Destination MAC addresses will never change in a frame that goes across seven routers.

4. A packet that has crossed four routers has changed the destination IP address four times.

5. Every time a frame is encapsulated with a new destination MAC address, a new destination IP address is needed.



7. What are two features of ARP? (Choose two.)

1.If a host is ready to send a packet to a local destination device and it has the IP address but not the MAC address of the destination, it generates an ARP broadcast.
 
2.If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it responds with an ARP reply.

3. An ARP request is sent to all devices on the Ethernet LAN and contains the IP address of the destination host and its multicast MAC address.

4. When a host is encapsulating a packet into a frame, it refers to the MAC address table to determine the mapping of IP addresses to MAC addresses.

5. If no device responds to the ARP request, then the originating node will broadcast the data packet to all devices on the network segment.



8.

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?


1. PC2 will send an ARP reply with its MAC address.

2. RT1 will send an ARP reply with its Fa0/0 MAC address.​

3. RT1 will send an ARP reply with the PC2 MAC address.​

4. SW1 will send an ARP reply with its Fa0/1 MAC address.​

5. SW1 will send an ARP reply with the PC2 MAC address.​



9. A host is trying to send a packet to a device on a remote LAN segment, but there are currently no mappings in its ARP cache. How will the device obtain a destination MAC address?

1. It will send an ARP request for the MAC address of the default gateway.

2. It will send a request to the DNS server for the destination MAC address.

3. It will send an ARP request for the MAC address of the destination device.

4. It will send the frame and use its own MAC address as the destination.

5. It will send the frame with a broadcast MAC address.



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

1. On large networks with low bandwidth, multiple ARP broadcasts could cause data communication delays.
 
2. Network attackers could manipulate MAC address and IP address mappings in ARP messages with the intent of intercepting network traffic.

3. 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.

4. Manually configuring static ARP associations could facilitate ARP poisoning or MAC address spoofing.

5. Large numbers of ARP request broadcasts could cause the host MAC address table to overflow and prevent the host from communicating on the network.



11. 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.)

2. The link between switches will work as full-duplex.
 
3. The auto-MDIX feature will configure the interfaces eliminating the need for a crossover cable.

4. The connection will not be possible unless the administrator changes the cable to a crossover cable.

5. The duplex capability has to be manually configured because it cannot be negotiated.

6. If both switches support different speeds, they will each work at their own fastest speed.

4. It is more complex than non-deterministic protocols.



20.Fill in the blank. The binary number 0000 1010 can be expressed as ______ in hexadecimal.

A



21. Match the characteristic to the forwarding method

A store-and-forward switch always stores the entire frame before forwarding, and checks its CRC and frame length. A cut-through switch can forward frames before receiving the destination address field, thus presenting less latency than a store-and-forward switch. Because the frame can begin to be forwarded before it is completely received, the switch may transmit a corrupt or runt frame. All forwarding methods require a Layer 2 switch to forward broadcast frames.
