B. Physical
C. Application
D. Transport
Bridges segment networks but are not able to determine addresses like the network layer
does.
23. Repeaters are on what layer?
A. Transport
B. Session
C. Physical
D. Application
All repeaters can do is boost a signal. An active hub is a good example of a repeater.
A switching hub is a good example of layer 3 addressing, since switches go by network
addresses and IPX addresses rather than just boost signals. Bridges can only read mac
addresses, and not the full IPX or TCPIP addresses.
24. Which of the following are considered routing protocols?
A. OSPF
B. IP
C. IPX

B. Switches forward packets based only on the IP address in the packet.
C. Switches forward packets based on the IP address in the frame
D. Switches forward packets based on the MAC address in the frame
Switches are network device that filters, forwards, and floods frames based
on the destination address of each frame.
The switch operates at the data link layer of the OSI model.
Switches use layer 2 addresses to filter the network
75. How does the cut-through switching technique work?
A. The LAN switch copies the entire frame into its buffers and then looks up
the destination address in its forwarding, table and determines the outgoing interface
B. The switch waits only for the header to be received
before it checks the destination address and starts forwarding the packets
C. By using broadcast addresses as source addresses
D. By using a Class II repeater in a collision domain
Packet switching approach that streams data through a switch
so that the leading edge of a packet exits the switch at the output port before
the packet finishes entering the input port. A device using cut-through packet switching reads, processes, and forwards packets
as soon as the destination address is looked up, and the outgoing port determined.
Also known as on-the-fly packet switching.
76. How do switches use store and forward?
A. The switch waits only for the header to be received
before it checks the destination address and starts
forwarding the packets
B. The LAN switch copies the entire frame into
its buffers and then looks up the destination address
in its forwarding, table and determines
the outgoing interface
C. By using a class II repeater in a collision domain
D. By using broadcast addresses as source addresses
Packet-switching technique in which frames are completely processed
before being forwarded out the appropriate port.
This processing includes calculating the CRC and checking the destination address.
In addition, frames must be temporarily stored until network resources
(such as an unused link) are available to forward the message. Contrast
with cut-through packet switching.
77. Choose all of the following that are needed to support full-duplex Ethernet.

A. Switching with 53-byte cells
B. CSMA/CD
C. IEEE 802.5
D. 802.3u
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using UTP wiring.
Like the 10BaseT technology on which it is based, 100BaseT sends link
pulses over the network segment when no traffic is present. However,
these link pulses contain more information than those used in 10BaseT.
Based on the IEEE 802.3 standard.
79. Choose all of the following that are advantages
to segmenting with routers.
A. Manageability
B. Flow control
C. Explicit packet lifetime control

to determine the optimal path along which network traffic should be forwarded.
Routers forward packets from one network to another based on network layer information
