Below is the toughest networking trivia questions quiz that is perfectly designed for all those who think that they know all there is to networking. Do give it a shot and get to see how well you informed are and what you are yet to learn about networking. All the best, and keep an eye out for more quizzes just like it!

A Segment is encapsulated at the Network Layer.
A Packet is encapsulated at the Network Layer.
Frame is encapsulated at the Network Layer
Data is encapsulated at the Network Layer.
Router and Ethernet Switch
Ethernet Switch only
Ethernet Switch and Hub
None of the above
A Network Layer Address is used to forward the packet from one network segment to another network segment. The Data Link Address is used to forward the frame from one device to another within the network segment.
The IP Address can be used to forward packets to the final destination but historically Ethernet was developed first so it continues to be used for Data Link Addressing
A Data Link Layer Address is used to forward the packet from one network segment to another network segment. The Network Layer Address is used to forward the frame from one device to another within the network segment
Since MAC addresses are unique, a Data Link Layer Addresses can be used to forward frames to any destination. A Network Layer Address is logical a can only be used to send data to a destination on the same network segment
Local Area Networks are typically within a building and connect office workers to servers.
Local Area Networks typically connect users within a single room.
Local Area Networks are used to connect an organization's network segments which are located in different cities.
Local Area networks cover a geographic area roughly the size of a city.
None of these answers are correct.
It is the process of adding a protocol header and sometimes a trailer to a block of application data.
It is the process of removing the data portion of the PDU and passing it up to the next higher layer.
It is the process of obtaining a MAC addresses which corresponds to a given IP address.
It is the process of obtaining an IP addresses which corresponds to a given MAC address
Segmentation is the process of breaking the application data stream into pieces or blocks of data
Segmentation is the process where devices communicate in both directions at the same time.
Segmentation is the process which allows data to be delivered to a destination on a different network.
Segmentation allows a server to determine which service the data should be directed to.
48 bits (12 Hex digits)
48 bits (18 Hex digits)
MAC Addresses don't use Hex digits
24 bits (6 Hex digits)
32 bits (18 Hex digits)
After a frame arrives at a switch port, the Switch looks up the destination MAC address in the MAC Address Table to determine on which port to send the frame and then sends the frame.
After a frame arrives at a switch port, the Switch looks up the destination MAC address in the Routing Table to determine on which port to send the frame and then sends the frame
After a packet arrives at a switch port, the Switch looks up the source MAC address in the MAC Address Table to determine on which port to send the frame and then sends the frame
After a frame arrives at a switch port, the Switch looks up the destination MAC address in the arp table to determine on which port to send the frame and then sends the frame
All the above are variations of the correct basic operation
The frame is sent out all ports except the ingress port (original incoming port)
The frame is dropped until it learns the correct port from the source address of an incoming frame.
The frame is sent out all ports in an attempt to reach the destination device
The switch sends an ARP request and the device with the destination MAC address responds
Switches populate the MAC Address Table by observing the Source MAC Address of all incoming frames
When a device sends a frame via a Switch, the Switch reads the Source MAC Address of the frame and enters it into the MAC Address Table together with the physical port number on which the frame arrived
This is usually done by the network administrator by statically adding the information to the MAC Address Table
When a device sends a frame via a Switch, the Switch reads the Destination MAC Address of the frame and enters it into the MAC Address Table together with the physical port number on which the frame arrived.
When a device sends a frame via a Switch, the Switch reads the Source IP Address of the frame and enters it into the MAC Address Table together with the port number on which the frame arrived.

The OSI Model has 4 layers whereas the TCP/IP Model has 7 layers.
The TCP/IP Model was developed for the TCP and IP protocols whereas the OSI Model is generic
The OSI Model was developed by the IETF whereas the TCP/IP Model was developed by the ITU standards body
Layer 3 of the TCP/IP Model is the Transport layer whereas layer 2 of the OSI Model is the Transport layer
