Which statement describes a characteristic of the frame header fields of the data link layer?
They all include the flow control and logical connection fields.
Ethernet frame header fields contain Layer 3 source and destination addresses.
They vary depending on protocols.
They include information on user applications.
Addressing
Helps to direct the frame toward its destination.
checks if the frame has been damaged during the transfer.
used by the LLC to identify the Layer 3 protocol.
identifies the beginning of a frame.
Error detection
Helps to direct the frame toward its destination.
checks if the frame has been damaged during the transfer.
used by the LLC to identify the Layer 3 protocol.
identifies the beginning of a frame.
type
Helps to direct the frame toward its destination.
checks if the frame has been damaged during the transfer.
used by the LLC to identify the Layer 3 protocol.
identifies the beginning of a frame.
frame start
Helps to direct the frame toward its destination.
checks if the frame has been damaged during the transfer.

identifies the beginning of a frame.
What is the purpose of the OSI physical layer?
controlling access to media
transmitting bits across the local media
performing error detection on received frames
exchanging frames between nodes over physical network media

full duplex
half duplex
multiplex
simplex
What is a characteristic of a WAN hub-and-spoke topology?
It requires that some of the branch sites be interconnected through point-to-point links.
It requires that every site be interconnected to each other through point-to-point links.
All sites require a hub device that connects to a router.
The branch sites are connected to a central site through point-to-point links.
wireless
This type of copper media is used in industrial or similar environments where there is a lot of interference.
This type of media provides the most mobility options.
This type of media is used for high transmission speed and can also transfer data over long distances.
Traditionally used for television but can now be used in a network to connect the customer location to the wiring of the customer premises.

Which is a function of the Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer?
to define the media access processes that are performed by the hardware
to provide data link layer addressing
to identify which network layer protocol is being used
to accept segments and package them into data units that are called packe
What method is used to manage contention-based access on a wireless network?

Which statement correctly describes frame encoding?
It uses the characteristic of one wave to modify another wave.
It transmits data signals along with a clock signal which occurs at evenly spaced time durations.
It generates the electrical, optical, or wireless signals that represent the binary numbers of the frame.
It converts bits into a predefined code in order to provide a predictable pattern to help distinguish data bits from control bits.
A network administrator is designing a new network infrastructure that includes both wired and wireless connectivity. Under which situation would a wireless connection be recommended?
The end-user device only has an Ethernet NIC.
The end-user device requires a dedicated connection because of performance requirements.
