#hat is the reason for not having redundancy at every layer?
fficiency
Availability
"calability
Cost
"# $3%&'%$''( %var%www%apps%conversion%tmp%scratch)$%$*$+$,&'-.doc
#hat is link aggregation?
2oad balancing across different routes that have the same number of
hops
Two or more links acting as a single virtual link with the combined
bandwidth
"ending alternate packets on different links
3sing a single physical interface with subinterfaces to connect to
different devices
#hat is another name for the core layer of the network?
4ertical cabling
5ori6ontal cabling
High-speed backbone
#A7 link
#hich of these processes is an 0"1 layer 3 process carried out by distribution
layer switches?
Routing between VA!s
"witching using 8AC addresses
2ink aggregation
Provision of Po
#hich feature of network switches is particularly important in a converged
network?
Port security
"uality o# service
2ink aggregation
8odularity
5ow might a company save money by having a converged network in their
new premises rather than having separate data, phone and video networks?
7etworking devices designed for converged networks are cheaper
They need only one set o# network cables installed instead o#
three
9hey can re-use all their old PCs, phones and videoconferencing
e/uipment
8anagement is easier, so they can employ staff with fewer
/ualifications
#hich type of switch has a chassis into which line cards can be installed?
"tackable switch

:i;ed configuration switch
8ultilayer switch
$odular switch
#hat is a characteristic of a fi;ed configuration switch?
%ou cannot alter the number o# ports
<ou cannot alter how it is connected to other switches
1t has a fi;ed si6e of one rack unit
1t has line cards fi;ed into its chassis
#hich is a desirable characteristic of an access layer switch allocated to a
department where there are a large number of computer users?
8ultilayer capabilities
High port density
5igh latency
Ability to route between 42A7s
#hat is special about stackable switches?
9hey can be fitted easily into a switch cabinet
They can be connected through special ports and act as a single
switch
9hey have a modular construction so that they can have e;tra ports if
re/uired
9hey have a strengthened case that is able to take e;tra weight
9he Catalyst ;press -'' switch is the cheapest switch in the Catalyst range.
9his is a fi;ed configuration switch with up to $* &'%&'' ports and optional
Po. 1t offers forwarding rates from =.= >b%s to $* >b%s, web-based
management, and converged data%1P communications support. #here would
it best be used?

employees)
0ne of a group of access layer switches providing connectivity for a
single department within a larger company.
