What are the essential steps to prepare a switch for remote management access?

Configure the switch with a default gateway, and assign an IP address to the switch virtual interface (SVI).

which of the following statements is true regarding broadcast and collision domains?

a switch creates a separate collision domain for each connected device but maintains a single broadcast domain for all devices.

why does a switch utlize the (FCS) filed in its operation?

to detect and prevent the forwarding of damaged or corrupted frames.

Which of the following options correctly describes a switching method?

Store-and-forward switching processes and checks the entire frame before forwarding it

Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gb NICs require full-duplex connections to operate. In full-duplex mode, the collision detection circuit on the NIC is disabled.

TRUE

Which of the following statements is true about preparing a switch for remote management access?

The switch virtual interface (SVI) should be assigned an IP address and a subnet mask to allow for remote management.

Which impact does adding a Layer 2 switch have on a network?

eliminate collision domains and reduce congestion

Refer to the exhibit, should you be concerned about the collisions observed on the interface?

Yes, because collisions should never occur on a full duplex interface, indicating a potential network issue

Which statement accurately describes a broadcast domain in a LAN?

A broadcast domain includes all Layer 2 devices and it can be broken by a Layer 3 device.

Refer to the exhibit: A frame with a source address of CC was received on port 1, and its destination address is EE. How will the switch handle this frame?

Drop the frame

Put the router bootup sequence in order:

After a Cisco switch is powered on:

1. load the bootstrap program

2. perform the POST (Power-On Self-Test)

3. locate and load the Cisco IOS software

4. locate and load the startup configuration file or enter setup mode

How does a switch determine the egress interface for a received frame?

By using the MAC address table to match the destination MAC address.

Which of the following statements accurately describes Switch Virtual Interfaces (SVIs)?

A default SVI is established for VLAN 1 for switch administration purposes.

Refer to the exhibit, What is a possible reason for a Switch Virtual Interface (SVI) to be in a down/down state?

VLAN99 is not assigned to any interface.

What is the primary difference between ingress and egress in networking?

Ingress refers to data entering a device, while egress refers to data exiting a device.

A switch will never allow traffic to be forwarded out the interface it received the traffic.

False

Which statement accurately describes the function of automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) on a switch?

With auto-MDIX enabled, the switch can automatically adjust the connection type based on the cable used.

What is a runt in networking?

A frame that is smaller than the minimum size of 64 bytes, often resulting from collisions or errors.

Which of the following statements about Layer 2 switch frame buffering are true?

Fragment-free buffering minimizes the chance of forwarding damaged frames.

Which of the following statements is true regarding the management of a switch?

1. The switch does not need a default gateway if it is managed locally.

2. The switch should be configured with a default gateway if it will be managed remotely.
