Quiz About CCNA 1 Chapter 3

In this scenario, the protocol used is ARP (Address Resolution Protocol). ARP is used to map an IP address to a MAC address on a local network. Host A sends a message to all the hosts on the segment asking for the MAC address of Host B. Host B responds with its MAC address, allowing Host A to learn it. The other hosts disregard the request as it is not intended for them. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used to assign IP addresses to devices on a network, DNS (Domain Name System) is used to translate domain names to IP addresses, and WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) is a legacy protocol used in older versions of Windows for name resolution.

Encapsulation is the term used to describe the process of placing one message format into another format so that the message can be delivered across the appropriate medium. This involves wrapping the original message in a new format or container to ensure compatibility and proper transmission. Encapsulation helps to ensure that the message is correctly understood and received by the recipient, regardless of the medium or network being used for communication.

A router uses a routing table to make decisions on where a data packet is to be sent. The routing table contains information about various networks and their corresponding next-hop routers. By referencing this table, the router can determine the most appropriate path for the data packet to reach its destination. The routing table is crucial for the router to efficiently direct network traffic and ensure that data packets are delivered to the correct destination.

If the default gateway is configured incorrectly on the host, the impact on communications is that the host can communicate with other hosts on the local network, but is unable to communicate with hosts on remote networks. The default gateway is responsible for routing traffic between different networks, so if it is set incorrectly, the host will not be able to send data to hosts outside of its local network.

The default gateway is the IP address of the router interface that connects directly to the computer. It is responsible for forwarding network traffic between different networks. The router interface closest to the computer is the most logical choice for the default gateway as it provides the shortest path for the computer to communicate with devices outside of its own network.

The 100 in 100BASE-T Ethernet standard refers to the speed of transmission. This standard supports a maximum data transfer rate of 100 megabits per second (Mbps).

A hub is a networking device that accepts a message on one port and forwards the message to all other ports. Unlike a switch or a router, a hub does not have the ability to filter or direct traffic to specific ports based on the destination. Instead, it simply broadcasts the message to all connected devices. This makes a hub less efficient in terms of network performance and security compared to switches or routers.

The correct answer is MAC addresses only. In an Ethernet frame header, only MAC addresses are used. MAC addresses are unique identifiers assigned to network interface controllers (NICs) by the manufacturer. They are used to identify the source and destination devices in a local area network (LAN) environment. Logical addresses, such as IP addresses, are used at the network layer and are encapsulated within the Ethernet frame. Broadcast addresses are used to send a message to all devices on a network.

Disabling simple file sharing allows the user to set more specific security access levels. With simple file sharing enabled, all files are shared with all users and groups, which can pose a security risk. By disabling it, the user gains more control over who can access and modify their files, ensuring that only authorized users have the necessary permissions.

The FCS field in an Ethernet frame is responsible for detecting transmission errors. It is a checksum value calculated by the sender and appended to the frame. When the frame is received, the recipient recalculates the checksum and compares it to the value in the FCS field. If the values match, it indicates that the frame was transmitted without errors. If they don't match, it means that errors occurred during transmission, and the frame is discarded.

An integrated router can perform the functions of a switch and a wireless access point. A switch is a network device that connects multiple devices within a local area network (LAN), allowing them to communicate with each other. A wireless access point, on the other hand, enables wireless devices to connect to a wired network. An integrated router combines the functionality of both devices, allowing it to route network traffic and provide wireless connectivity. This eliminates the need for separate switches and wireless access points in a network setup.

The correct answer is H1 sends a unicast message to H2, but the hub forwards it to all devices. This is because a hub operates at the physical layer of the OSI model and does not have any intelligence to differentiate between devices. When H1 sends a unicast message to H2, the hub simply forwards it to all devices connected to it, including H2.

A default route must be configured on the router to prevent it from dropping packets that it does not know how to forward. A default route acts as a "catch-all" route, instructing the router to send any packets with unknown destinations to a specific next hop or gateway. By having a default route, the router ensures that even if it doesn't have a specific route for a packet, it will still be able to forward it to the appropriate destination instead of dropping it.

An NIC (Network Interface Card) uses the destination MAC address when deciding whether to accept a frame. The destination MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to the NIC of the intended recipient of the frame. When a frame is received, the NIC checks if the destination MAC address matches its own MAC address. If it does, the NIC accepts the frame and processes it. If the destination MAC address does not match, the NIC discards the frame as it is not intended for it.

A hub and a switch are used to connect hosts to the access layer in a network. A hub is a simple device that broadcasts all incoming data packets to all connected devices, while a switch is more intelligent and selectively forwards data packets to the intended destination based on their MAC addresses. Both devices provide connectivity between hosts and the network, but a switch offers better performance and security compared to a hub.

Logical addresses in an IP network are used to determine the network that the host is located on. These addresses help in identifying the network portion of an IP address, which is crucial for routing packets across different networks. By using logical addresses, routers can make forwarding decisions based on the network information and route the packets to the appropriate destination network. This allows for efficient communication between different hosts on different networks within the IP network infrastructure.

A network logical map includes the naming scheme and IP addressing scheme. The naming scheme refers to the way devices and hosts are identified and labeled within the network. It provides a standardized method for naming and organizing network components. The IP addressing scheme, on the other hand, is the allocation and management of IP addresses within the network. It defines how devices are assigned unique IP addresses and allows for communication between them. Both the naming scheme and IP addressing scheme are essential components of a network logical map as they provide a structured and organized framework for network management.

The correct answer is "provides consistent interconnections across networks" and "simplifies new product development". Networking standards ensure that different devices and systems can communicate with each other effectively, regardless of the vendor or technology being used. This consistency in interconnections allows for seamless integration of various network components. Additionally, having standardized protocols simplifies the development of new products as manufacturers can rely on established standards rather than creating proprietary protocols from scratch.

After determining that a data packet from Network 1 should be forwarded to Network 2, the router reassembles the frame with different MAC addresses than the original frame.

When a switch receives a frame with a destination MAC address that is not in the MAC table, it will flood the frame out of all active ports, except the port from which the frame originated. This is because the switch does not have information about the destination MAC address and needs to send the frame to all connected devices in order to find the correct destination. By flooding the frame, the switch increases the chances of reaching the correct destination device.

Having a router within the distribution layer helps to keep broadcasts contained within a local network. This means that broadcast traffic is not propagated to other networks, reducing network congestion and improving overall network performance. By containing broadcasts, the router helps to ensure that network resources are not wasted on unnecessary traffic and that only devices within the local network receive the broadcast messages. This also enhances network security by preventing the broadcast traffic from reaching unauthorized networks or devices.
