CCNA 1 Module 6 Exam

1 Refer to the exhibit. Host A is communicating with host F. What happens to a frame sent from host A to host F as it travels over the Ethernet segments?

*The frame format remains the same across each Ethernet segment.

2 How many hexadecimal digits are in a MAC address?

*12

3 What are three functions of a NIC in a PC? (Choose three.)

*A NIC connects the PC to the network media.
*A NIC detects collisions on the Ethernet segment.
*A NIC passes the contents of selected frames to the upper OSI layers.

4 At what layer of the OSI model does a MAC address reside?

*2

5 A router has an Ethernet, Token Ring, serial, and ISDN interface. Which interfaces will have a MAC address?

*Ethernet and Token Ring interfaces

6 In an Ethernet LAN, how does the NIC know when it can transmit data?

*An Ethernet NIC transmits data after listening for the absence of a signal on the media.

7 Which characteristics describe carrier sense multiple access collision detect (CSMA/CD)? (Choose three.)

*nondeterministic
*collision environment
*first-come, first-served approach

8 Which two devices can provide full-duplex Ethernet connections? (Choose two.)

*NIC
*Layer 2 switch

9 On a local area network, one workstation can send data on the line while it is receiving data. What type of data transfer does this describe?

*full duplex

10 Refer to the exhibit. The small office network shown in the exhibit consists of four computers connected through a hub. Which configuration would cause collisions and errors on the network?

*administratively configured full duplex

11 Refer to the exhibit. The switch and workstation are administratively configured for full-duplex operation. Which statement accurately reflects the operation of this link?

*No collisions will occur on this link


12. Refer to the exhibit. All hosts are in listen mode. Host 1 and Host 4 both transmit data at the same time. How do the hosts respond on the network? (Choose two.)

*After the end of the jam signal, Hosts 1, 2, 3, and 4 invoke a backoff algorithm.
*If a host has data to transmit after the backoff period of that host, the host checks to determine if the line is idle, before transmitting.

13. When a collision occurs in a network using CSMA/CD, how do hosts with data to transmit respond after the backoff period has expired?

*The hosts return to a listen-before-transmit mode.

14 Which statement describes how CSMA/CD on an Ethernet segment manages the retransmission of frames after a collision occurs?

*The devices transmitting when the collision occurs DO NOT have priority for retransmission.

15 Refer to the exhibit. A technician wants to increase the available bandwidth for the workstation by allowing the switch and the NIC on the workstation to transmit and receive simultaneously. What will permit this?

*full-duplex

16 Why do hosts on an Ethernet segment that experience a collision use a random delay before attempting to transmit a frame?

*A random delay helps prevent the stations from experiencing another collision during the transmission.

17 In which two layers of the OSI model does Ethernet function? (Choose two.)

*data link
*physical

18 Which of the following are specified by IEEE standards as sublayers of the OSI data link layer? (Choose two.)

*Logical Link Control
*Media Access Control

19 Where does the MAC address originate?
*burned into ROM on the NIC card Stumble Upon Toolbar
