01
Front

How does a switch forward traffic within a LAN?

Back

A switch connects devices within a LAN and forwards Ethernet frames using MAC addresses.

02
Front

What does a VLAN separate, and what is usually needed for inter-VLAN communication?

Back

A VLAN divides a switched network into separate Layer 2 broadcast domains. Devices in different VLANs generally need a router or Layer 3 switch to communicate.

03
Front

Which IEEE family standardizes Ethernet?

Back

Ethernet is standardized in the IEEE 802.3 family and operates over media including twisted-pair copper and fiber.

04
Front

How many usable host addresses does a conventional IPv4 /26 subnet provide?

Back

A /26 leaves 6 host bits, giving 64 total addresses. Under conventional LAN counting, 62 are usable because the first is the network address and the last is the broadcast address.

05
Front

How long is an IPv6 address, and what prefix is typical for a LAN?

Back

IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long. A typical LAN is assigned a /64 prefix.

06
Front

What should you check first when troubleshooting a device with no network access?

Back

First check the physical link: power, cable seating, port status, Wi-Fi association, and link speed. Then check Ethernet and VLAN settings before investigating IP configuration.

07
Front

What does a router do between IP networks?

Back

A router connects different IP networks and forwards packets using IP addresses.

08
Front

How can a wireless access point connect Wi-Fi clients to a LAN?

Back

A wireless access point connects Wi-Fi clients to the wired LAN; it can bridge clients onto a switch-connected network without acting as a router.

09
Front

Why is VLAN separation not a complete security policy?

Back

VLAN separation can organize users, servers, or IoT devices, but it is not by itself a complete security policy.

10
Front

Which three IPv4 ranges are reserved for private internets?

Back

The private IPv4 ranges are 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16.

11
Front

Where is an IPv6 link-local address used?

Back

An IPv6 link-local address is used only on its local link.

12
Front

Does IPv6 use an IPv4-style broadcast address?

Back

IPv6 does not use an IPv4-style broadcast address.
