What are the possible reasons the MAC layer would be unable to send a frame in sixteen attempts? (Choose two.)

The destination is more than 16 hops away and unreachable.

A physical problem exists on the network.

The destination never received a token and therefore could not return verification of the CRC.

What happens on an Ethernet network after a collision occurs? (Choose three.)

A backoff algorithm is invoked and transmission is stopped.

Devices involved in the collision have a random period of time for priority retransmission of the damaged packet.

The devices involved in the collision release a token indicating the time each station may begin retransmitting.

The devices with data to transmit return to a listen-before-transmit mode.

Transmit work will restart with the reissuance of all data.

How are collisions detected on an Ethernet network?

Stations identify the altered FCS field on the colliding packets.

The signal amplitude on the networking media increases.

There is blockage on the network causing no traffic to be detected.

The signal amplitude on the networking media decreases.

What is indicated when the length/type frame field value is greater than 0x600?

DIX formatted frame header

Ethernet II code used to interpret the frame

length of frame is 600 bits

Why is Ethernet considered very scalable?

The NIC cards do not need to be changed to increase the bandwidth of the network.

Bandwidth can be increased without changing the underlying technology.

Ethernet standards do not need to change as new technologies are introduced.

Ethernet changes the packet as necessary to move from one link to another.

What does the "10" in 10Base2 indicate about this version of Ethernet?

The version uses Base10 numbering within the frames.

The version operates at a transmission rate of 10 Mbps.

Frames can travel 10 meters unrepeated.

The maximum frame length is 10 octets.

What does the word "Base" indicate in 10Base2?

thinnet coaxial cable

Which Ethernet data link layer frame comparison is correct?

higher speed networks require more fields be included in the frame

the faster speed frame structures are incompatible with the slower speed networks

Why is half-duplex mode not permitted on 10 Gigabit Ethernet?

It was removed from the Ethernet standards as outdated technology.

Transmission is completed before the sending station can be made aware of any collisions.

Full-duplex transmission is needed in order to reach 10 Gigabit speeds.

Full-duplex stations transmit too quickly, blocking half-duplex stations from sending data.
