  1. 10Base2
  2. Thicknet
  3. 10Base5
  4. Thinnet

Answer – B, D
Explanation – Both Thicknet and Thinnet are 10Mbps baseband technologies that use 50 ohm terminators.

6. Which three major services does LANE provide?

  1. Connection-oriented service between LANs
  2. Connectionless service between LANs
  3. The ability to carry multicast services
  4. Media access control driver services

Answer – B, C, D
Explanation – LANE provides connectionless service on broadcast LANS and allows multicast services and MAC services.

7. How many bits is a MAC address?

  1. 24
  2. 48
  3. 94
  4. 96

Answer – B
Explanation – A MAC address is 6 bytes, or 48 bits long.

8. Which PPP protocol provides a method for establishing, configuring, maintaining, and terminating the point-to-point connection?

  1. TCP
  2. NCP
  3. LCP
  4. IPCP

Answer – C
Explanation – Link Control Protocol (LCP) is used to set up and maintain a connection as well as authentication.

9. Which PPP protocol is used to establish and configure different network layer protocols?

  1. TCP
  2. NCP
  3. LCP
  4. IPCP

Answer – B
Explanation – Network Control Protocol creates an independent field in a PPP header to identify the upper-layer network protocol.

10. What was created to overcome the problem of collisions that occur when packets are transmitted simultaneously from different nodes?

  1. Collsion detection and jamming paterns
  2. CSMA/CD
  3. TCP/IP
  4. Ethernet

Answer – A, B
Explanation – Collision detection and jamming patterns are used within the CSMA/CD protocol to control collisions in a network segment.

11. In a MAC address, how many bits does the IEEE assign?

  1. 24
  2. 48
  3. 94
  4. 96

Answer – A
Explanation – A MAC address is 6 bytes long (48 bits). The IEEE assigns the first 3 bytes to the manufacturer.

13. What is an R reference used for in ISDN?

  1. To define the reference point between non-ISDN equipment (TE2) and a TA
  2. To define the reference point between user terminals and an NT2
  3. To define the reference point between NT1 and NT2 devices
  4. To define the reference point between NT1 devices and line-termination equipment in a carrier network

Answer – A
Explanation – This is the point in the network between the Terminal Adapter (TA) and the interface of a router or phone that is not equipped to handle the ISDN signaling techniques.

14. What is an S reference used for in ISDN?

  1. To define the reference point between non-ISDN equipment (TE2) and a TA
  2. To define the reference point between user terminals and an NT2
  3. To define the reference point between NT1 and NT2 devices
  4. To define the reference point between NT1 devices and line termination equipment in a carrier network

Answer – B
Explanation – ISDN is a two-wire technology (one-pair). The S reference point defines the place in the network where the four-wire network must be turned into a two-wire network for use on an ISDN network. Since the T reference point is basically the same thing, it is typically called an S/T reference point.

  2. I
  3. Q
  4. S

Answer – C
Explanation – The Q protocol is used to discuss the switching and signaling techniques in an ISDN network.

16. What is a TE1 used for in ISDN?

  3. As terminals that predate ISDN standards
  4. As terminals that understand ISDN standards

Answer – D
Explanation – Terminal Equipment type 1 devices already understand ISDN signaling techniques.

17. What is a TE2 used for with ISDN?

  1. Typically, as a provider’s equipment, such as a switch or a PBX
  2. To implement the physical layer specifications and connect the user devices to the ISDN network
  3. As terminals that do not natively support ISDN standards
  4. As terminals that understand ISDN standards

Answer – C
Explanation – Terminal Equipment type 2 devices do not understand ISDN signaling standards and need a terminal adapter to convert the signaling.

18. What is the LMI responsible for?

  1. Keepalives
  2. Multicasting
  3. Multicast addressing
  4. The status of virtual circuits

Answer – A, B, C, and D
Explanation – Local Management Interface is used for keepalives between PVCs, multicasting and providing the status of virtual circuits between devices on a frame relay network.

19. Which of the following is true regarding half-duplex Ethernet?

  1. Uses a point-to-point connection between the transmitter of the transmitting station and the receiver of the receiving station
  2. Uses a single cable similar to a narrow one-way-bridge road
  3. Is not compatible with 100BaseT
  4. Works only with Cisco switches

Answer – B
Explanation – Half-duplex is one twisted-pair wire in which the signal travels in both directions down the wire, but just one direction at a time.

20. Which of the following allow you to mitigate partial meshed frame relay networks and support split horizon protocols?

  1. LANE
  2. Ethernet
  3. Secondary
  4. Subinterfaces
