2. What device is considered an intermediary device?

Explanation

A switch is considered an intermediary device because it acts as a bridge between multiple devices in a network. It receives data packets from one device and forwards them to the appropriate destination device based on the MAC address. It helps to create a network by connecting multiple devices together and facilitating communication between them. Unlike IP phones, laptops, printers, and file servers, which are endpoint devices, a switch does not generate or process data itself but rather facilitates the transfer of data between devices.

8. CCNA1Chapter22 thumb CCNA 1 Chapter 2 V4.0 Answers Refer to the exhibit. Which three labels correctly identify the network types for the network segments that are shown? (Choose three.)

Explanation

The correct labels for the network segments are Network B as WAN, Network C as LAN, and Network A as LAN. This is because WAN (Wide Area Network) refers to a network that covers a large geographical area, typically connecting multiple LANs. LAN (Local Area Network) refers to a network that covers a small area, such as a home, office, or building. Therefore, Network B and Network C fit the descriptions of WAN and LAN respectively. Network A is also a LAN because it is a local network within a specific area.

Submit
9.  During the encapsulation process, what occurs at the data link layer?

Explanation

During the encapsulation process at the data link layer, the physical address is added. The data link layer is responsible for creating frames and adding necessary information to them before they are transmitted over the network. One of the important pieces of information added at this layer is the physical address, also known as the MAC address. The MAC address uniquely identifies the network interface card of a device and is used for communication within a local network.

Submit
10. What is a PDU?

Explanation

A PDU, or Protocol Data Unit, is a layer specific encapsulation. This means that it is a unit of data that is created at a specific layer of the network protocol stack. Each layer has its own PDU format, which includes the necessary information for that layer to process and transmit the data. This encapsulation allows for the data to be properly handled and transmitted through the network, ensuring that it reaches its destination correctly.

Submit
11. Which characteristic correctly refers to end devices in a network?

Explanation

End devices in a network refer to devices that initiate or generate data flow. These devices are the source of data transmission within the network. They can be computers, smartphones, servers, or any device that sends data to other devices in the network. The term "originate data flow" accurately describes the role of end devices in a network. They are responsible for initiating communication and sending data to other devices.

Submit
12. Which layer encapsulates the segment into packets?  

Explanation

The network layer encapsulates the segment into packets. This layer is responsible for routing the packets across different networks and ensuring that they reach their intended destination. It adds necessary headers and information to the segment to create a packet that can be transmitted over the network.

Submit
13. What is the proper order of the layers of the OSI model from the highest layer to the lowest layer?  

Explanation

The OSI model is a conceptual framework that standardizes the functions of a communication system into seven different layers. The proper order of the layers from the highest to the lowest is as follows: application, presentation, session, transport, network, data link, physical. The application layer is responsible for providing network services to user applications. The presentation layer handles data formatting and encryption. The session layer manages communication sessions between applications. The transport layer ensures reliable delivery of data across the network. The network layer handles routing and logical addressing. The data link layer deals with the physical transmission of data. Finally, the physical layer is responsible for the actual transmission of raw bits over the network.

Submit
14.  Which statements correctly identify the role of intermediary devices in the network? (Choose three.

Explanation

Intermediary devices in a network play several important roles. They determine pathways for data by analyzing the destination address and finding the most efficient route for data transmission. They also retime and retransmit data signals to ensure that they reach their destination without errors or delays. Additionally, intermediary devices manage data flows by controlling the traffic and prioritizing certain types of data over others. However, they do not initiate the flow of data or serve as the final termination point for data flow.

Submit
15. What is a primary function of the trailer information added by the data link layer encapsulation?

Explanation

The primary function of the trailer information added by the data link layer encapsulation is to support error detection. This trailer contains a checksum or a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value that allows the receiving device to verify if the data has been corrupted during transmission. By comparing the checksum or CRC value with the received data, errors can be detected and appropriate actions can be taken to ensure data integrity.

Submit
16. What can be identified by examining the network layer header?

Explanation

By examining the network layer header, one can identify the destination host address. The network layer header contains information about the source and destination IP addresses, among other things. Therefore, analyzing the network layer header allows us to determine the specific host to which the data is being sent.

Submit
17. What is the purpose of the TCP/IP Network Access layer?

Explanation

The purpose of the TCP/IP Network Access layer is network media control. This layer is responsible for controlling the physical transmission of data over the network media, such as Ethernet cables or wireless connections. It handles tasks such as encoding and decoding data into electrical signals, addressing of network devices, and managing the flow of data between the network and the physical media.

Submit
18. Which two layers of the OSI model have the same functions as the TCP/IP model Network Access Layer? (Choose two.)

Explanation

The Network Access Layer in the TCP/IP model is responsible for the physical transmission of data and the logical addressing of devices on the network. The Physical layer in the OSI model also deals with the physical transmission of data, such as the electrical signals and cabling used. The Data Link layer in the OSI model is responsible for the logical addressing of devices on the network, similar to the Network Access Layer. Therefore, the Physical and Data Link layers in the OSI model have the same functions as the TCP/IP model's Network Access Layer.

Submit
19. What is the primary purpose of Layer 4 port assignment?

Explanation

Layer 4 port assignment is used to identify the processes or services that are communicating within the end devices. Layer 4 of the OSI model is the transport layer, which is responsible for establishing connections, managing data flow, and ensuring reliable delivery of data between end devices. By assigning specific port numbers to different processes or services, the transport layer can distinguish between them and ensure that the data is correctly routed to the appropriate destination. This allows for efficient communication and enables multiple services to run simultaneously on the same device.

Submit
20. What are two functions of encapsulation? (Choose two.)

Explanation

Encapsulation is a process in which data and its corresponding methods are bundled together into a single unit called an object. This helps in organizing and structuring the code. The two functions of encapsulation mentioned in the answer are:

1. Identifies pieces of data as part of the same communication: Encapsulation allows related data to be grouped together, making it easier to manage and understand the communication between different components of a system.

2. Ensures that data pieces can be directed to the correct receiving end device: By encapsulating data and methods within objects, encapsulation ensures that the data is accessed and manipulated only by the intended recipient, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring data integrity.

Submit
21. Select the statements that are correct concerning network protocols. (Choose three.)  

Explanation

Network protocols define the structure of layer-specific PDU's, which are the data units exchanged between layers. They also outline the functions necessary for communication between layers, ensuring that each layer performs its specific tasks. Additionally, network protocols require layer-dependent encapsulations, meaning that each layer adds its own header and footer to the data as it is passed down the protocol stack. These encapsulations help ensure that the data is properly understood and processed by the receiving layers.
