1. Which category of switch is used to aggregate traffic at the edge of the network?
- campus LAN switches
- cloud-managed switches
- service provider switches
- data center switches
Explanation: Service provider switches aggregate traffic at the network edge.
2. Field replaceable line cards are a feature found on which type of switch?
- modular
- fixed configuration
- virtual
- stackable
Explanation: Modular switches feature interchangeable field-replaceable line cards.
3. This is the term used to describe switches that can be interconnected and managed as one larger single switch.
- modular
- stackable
- cloud-managed
- multilayer
Explanation: Stackable switches are interconnected to function as a single large switch.
4. This is the term used to describe the number of ports available on a single switch.
- speed
- scalability
- density
- modularity
Explanation: Port density refers to the number of ports on a single switch.
5. This is the term used to describe how much data a switch can process per second.
- forwarding rate
- power
- reliability
- wire speed
Explanation: Forwarding rate refers to how much data a switch can process per second.
6. Which type of switch supports routing protocols and can forward IP packets at close to Layer 2 forwarding rates?
- modular
- stackable
- cloud-managed
- multilayer
Explanation: Multilayer switches are able to route packets and use application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to quickly forward IP packets.
