What is the main function of the Collision Detection (CD) in the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)?

A. To stop any data transmission

B. To detect simultaneous data transmission and signal a temporary jam

C. To assign different access times to nodes

D. To enable conversations without back-off algorithms

Incorrect

Correct!

Explanation: The ’Collision Detection’ (CD) part of CSMA/CD is there to detect when two network nodes are attempting to transmit data at the same time. When this simultaneous transmission, or ’collision’, is detected, the nodes both transmit a temporary jam signal. This prevents any other nodes from creating additional collisions.

What is the key difference between the operation of the IPv4 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)?

A. ARP uses unicast, while NDP uses multicast

B. NDP uses broadcasts, while ARP uses multicast

C. ARP uses broadcasts, while NDP uses multicast

D. NDP uses unicast, while ARP uses broadcasts

Incorrect

Correct!

Explanation: In an IPv4 network, when two hosts begin to communicate, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) would send a broadcast to all listening hosts and devices on the network to find the MAC address corresponding to the destination IP address. The broadcast mechanism poses a challenge as the network size grows, with an increase in the residual bandwidth required from ARP. The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) used by IPv6, however, resolves the destination layer 2 MAC address for a given destination IPv6 address using multicast traffic rather than broadcasts. This significantly reduces residual traffic.

Which of the following best describes the functionality of a hub in a network?

A. Hubs function at layer 7 (application layer) of the OSI model and perform complex routing.

B. Hubs function as multiport repeaters at the Physical layer (layer 1) of the OSI model, repeating Ethernet frames on all ports.

C. Hubs boost the fiber-optic signal in WAN applications over long distances.

D. Hubs drop frames from devices not participating in the exchange of data, conserving useful bandwidth.

Incorrect

Correct!

Explanation: Hubs operate at the Physical layer (layer 1) of the OSI model. They function as multiport repeaters, repeating the Ethernet frames sent by any device on all other connected ports. This behavior forces devices not participating in the specific exchange of data to ’listen’ to the conversation and takes up bandwidth, even though these non-participating devices will simply drop the frames.

What is a collision domain and how does it affect network communications?

A. It’s a terminology used to describe all devices that receive a broadcast, thereby affecting network communication through uniting all devices

B. It’s the group of nodes that receive broadcasts sent out by a device, ultimately slowing down network speed due to the need of resolving all system IPs

C. It’s the situation when two nodes send a frame simultaneously on the same physical network causing a collision, reducing the bandwidth and affecting communication

D. It’s a term used to define all devices that send broadcast messages, ultimately affecting the network by increasing broadcast traffic

Incorrect

Correct!

Explanation: A collision domain refers to a network scenario where one or more networks begin to transmit data at the same time ultimately ending in a data collision. This reduces the network’s communication efficiency because a collision requires all nodes on the network to stop and wait for a random period of time via the CSMA/CD contention method, making no data transmittable during this wait time.
