* ARP* FTPCorrect answer: BInternet Control Message Protocol - ICMP is a management protocol and messaging serviceprovider for IP. Its messages are carried as IP datagrams.

ICMP is used in the following events:Destination Unreachable - If a router cannot send an IP packet any further, it uses an ICMP echoto send a message back to the sender notifying it that the remote node is unreachable.Buffer Full - If a routers memory buffer is full ICMP will send out a message to the originator.Hops - Each IP datagram is assigned a path. This consists of hops. If it goes through themaximum number of hops, the packet is discarded and the discarding router sends an ICMP echoto the host.Ping - Ping use ICMP echo message to check connectivity.

60. Which is true regarding store-and-forward switching method?* Latency varies depending on frame-length* Latency is constant

* It is default for all Cisco switches* It only reads the destination hardware address before forwarding the frameCorrect answer: AStore-and-Forward switching copies the entire frame into its buffer and computes the CRC. If aCRC error is detected, the frame is discarded, or if the frame is a runt (less than 64 bytesincluding the CRC) or a giant (more than 1518 bytes including the CRC). The LAN switch thenlooks up the destination address in its switching table and determines the outgoing interface. Theframe is then forwarded to the outgoing interface. Cisco Catalyst 5000 switches uses the Store-and-Forward method. The problem with Store-and-Forward switching is latency is increased.Latency also varies with the size of the frame. The larger the frame, the more latency associated.This of course is due to the fact that the entire frame is copied into its buffer before being

forwarded.

Q2.You have an IP of156.233.42.56 with a subnet mask of 7 bits. How many hosts and subnetsare possible?A.126 hosts and 510 subnets


40/43

B.128 subnets and 512 hostsC. 510 hosts and 126 subnetsD. 512 subnets and 128 hostsCorrect answer: CExplanation:

Class B network has the form N.N.H.H, the default subnet mask is 16 bits long.There is additional 7 bits to the default subnet mask. The total number of bits in subnet are 16+7= 23.This leaves us with 32-23 =9 bits for assigning to hosts.7 bits of subnet mask corresponds to (2^7-2)=128-2 = 126 subnets.9 bits belonging to host addresses correspond to (2^9-2)=512-2 = 510 hosts.Continue Reading.....
