    Explanation
    IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is a protocol that helps reduce multicast flooding on a layer 2 switch. It allows hosts to join and leave multicast groups, and it enables switches to only forward multicast traffic to ports where hosts have expressed an interest in receiving it. By using IGMP, switches can effectively control and limit the propagation of multicast traffic, reducing unnecessary flooding and improving network efficiency.

    QUESTION NO: 490 A technician is troubleshooting the phone service at a site. The technician tests one of the connections on the 66 block and no dial tone is present. Which of the following would be the BEST tool to test the connection at the demarcation point?

    • Butt set

    • Cable tester

    • Multimeter

    • Toner probe

    Correct Answer
    A. Butt set
    Explanation
    A butt set is the best tool to test the connection at the demarcation point because it allows the technician to directly connect to the phone line and listen for a dial tone. It can also be used to test for noise on the line and check for proper voltage levels. A cable tester is used to test the integrity of network cables, not phone lines. A multimeter is used to measure voltage, current, and resistance, but it does not provide the same level of functionality as a butt set for testing phone lines. A toner probe is used to trace and identify cables, but it does not test for dial tone or other phone line issues.

    QUESTION NO: 478 A VoIP telephone with a built-in hub is plugged into a single network using both the hub port and the telephone port. The network begins to experience severe lag due to a significant increase in traffic. Which of the following features would help to prevent this from occurring in the future?

    • Port mirroring

    • VLANS

    • Spanning tree

    • Trunking

    Correct Answer
    A. Spanning tree
    Explanation
    Spanning tree is a protocol that prevents loops and ensures a loop-free logical topology in a network. In this scenario, the severe lag is likely caused by a loop created by connecting the VoIP telephone with both the hub port and the telephone port. By implementing spanning tree, the protocol will detect and disable one of the redundant connections, preventing the loop and resolving the lag issue. This feature will help to prevent such occurrences in the future.
