Which statement is true about broadcast and collision domains?

Adding a router to a network will increase the size of the collision domain.

The size of the collision domain can be reduced by adding hubs to a network.

The more interfaces a router has the larger the resulting broadcast domain.

Adding a switch to a network will increase the size of the broadcast domain.

Refer to the exhibit. The PC that is attached to port Fa0/1 is sending a packet that has the destination MAC address of 0050.0fae.299c. Based on the current S1 MAC address table, what will S1 do first when the packet arrives at the switch?

Forward the data to S2

Broadcast an ARP request to all S1 ports except port Fa0/1

Add the MAC address of the PC that is attached to Fa0/1 to the MAC address table

Broadcast the data to all S1 ports and all S2 ports that have attached end devices

Broadcast the data to all S1 ports that have attached end devices, except the Fa0/1 port

When the appropriate switch form factor for a network is being determined, what type of switch should be selected when future expansion is important and cost is not a limiting factor?

Stackable switch

1 rack unit switch

Fixed configuration switch

Modular switch

Which switching method describes a switch that transfers a frame as soon as the destination MAC address is read?

Fragment-free

Cut-through

Store-and-forward

Latency forwarding

Which option correctly describes a switching method?

Cut-through: makes a forwarding decision after receiving the entire frame

Store-and-forward: forwards the frame immediately after examining its destination MAC address

cut-through: provides the flexibility to support any mix of Ethernet speeds

Store-and-forward: ensures that the frame is free of physical and data-link errors

Which two statements about Layer 2 Ethernet switches are true? (Choose two.)

Layer 2 switches prevent broadcasts.

Layer 2 switches have multiple collision domains.

Layer 2 switches route traffic between different networks.

Layer 2 switches decrease the number of broadcast domains.

Layer 2 switches can send traffic based on the destination MAC address.

Which two characteristics describe a converged network? (Choose two.)

Decreased service calls

Support of voice and video both using the same switch

Separate wiring infrastructure for voice and video traffic

Affordability for small and medium businesses

cheaper equipment cost

When an appropriate switch form factor for a network is being determined, what should be selected when fault tolerance and bandwidth availability are desired but the budget is limited?

stackable switch

non-stackable switch

Fixed configuration switch

Modular switch

Which cost-effective physical network topology design is recommended when building a three-tier campus network that connects three buildings?

Bus

Mesh

Extended star

Dual ring

Which service is provided by an automated attendant feature on a converged network?

Point-to-point video

Call routing

IT management interface

Video conferencing

Which function is supplied by the access layer in a three-layer network design?
