Assignment 3
This assignment is based on CCNA Chapters 12-13.
- How long is the interpacket gap?
- Which station typically transmits the jam signal once a collision has been detected?
- Identify the devices used to create separate collision domains.
- Latency depends on media resistance, number of nodes and what else?
- What causes most Ethernet errors?
- What action may resolve a high collision rate on a network segment?
- The typical causes of late collisions are:
- Which class of 803.3 repeaters has higher latency?
- Of the two types of directional communication, which type does not loop back transmissions?
- How do routers typically handle broadcasts and multicasts?
- Give one reason why a switch provides increased security on a network.
- Identify the advantage that shared memory buffering has over port-based memory.
- Of the four switching modes, which one will propagate errors the most?
- True or false, a minimum-sized Ethernet packet essentially turns a fragment-free switch into a store-and-forward switch.
- Identify the layer two protocol designed to prevent switching/bridging loops.
- While configuring the logical path in an STP-enabled network any logical loops are removed. How is this accomplished?
- What are the two switch port states?
- All switch ports will be in one of two stable states when the network is completely configured. Identify the two states.
- The most common VLAN configuration is:
- Which type of VLAN is configured port-by-port?
Know the following terms from both chapters:
- Backoff Period
- Bit Time
- Broadcast
- Frame Tagging
- Gateway
- Jam Signal
- Management VLAN
- Preamble
- Virtual LAN (VLAN)
