Hardware-based bridging (ASIC)
Wire speed
Low latency
Low cost
Options
A. 1 and 3
B. 2 and 4
C. 1, 2 and 4
D. All of the above
Correct Answer
All of the above
Explanation
Switches, unlike bridges, are hardware based. Cisco says its switches are wire speed and provide low latency, and I guess they are low cost compared to their prices in the 1990s.

1. A default Frame Relay WAN is classified as what type of physical network?
Frame Relay, by default, is a non-broadcast multi-access (NBMA) network, which means that broadcasts, such as RIP updates, will not be forwarded across the link by default.
2. What layer of the OSI model would you assume the problem is in if you type show interface serial 1 and receive the following message? "Serial1 is down, line protocol is down."
If you see that a serial interface and the protocol are both down, then you have a Physical layer problem. If you see
serial1 is up,
line protocol is down, then you are not receiving (Data Link) keepalives from the remote end.

The IEEE 802.11b standard provides a maximum data rate of up to only 11Mbps, and you can be around 150 feet, maybe farther, depending on conditions.
7. You have two switches connected together with two crossover cables for redundancy, and STP is disabled. Which of the following will happen between the switches?
Options
A. The routing tables on the switches will not update.
B. The MAC forward/filter table will not update on the switch.
C. Broadcast storms will occur on the switched network.
D. The switches will automatically load-balance between the two links.
Since the question never mentioned anything about a suspended session, you can assume that the Telnet session is still open, and you would just type
exit to close the session.
