7.4.6 Check Your Understanding – Switch Speeds and Forwarding Methods Answers

1. What are two methods for switching data between ports on a switch? (Choose two.)

  • cut-off switching
  • cut-through switching
  • store-and-forward switching
  • store-and-supply switching
  • store-and-restore switching

Explanation: The two methods for switching data between ports on a switch are cut-through switching and store-and-forward switching.

2. Which switching method can be implemented using fast-forward switching or fragment-free switching?

  • cut-off switching
  • cut-through switching
  • store-and-forward switching
  • store-and-restore switching

Explanation: Cut-through switching is implemented using either fast-forward switching or fragment-free switching.

3. Which two types of memory buffering techniques are used by switches? (Choose two.)

  • long-term memory buffering
  • port-based memory buffering
  • shared memory buffering
  • short-term memory buffering

Explanation: Switches use two memory buffering techniques: Port-based memory buffering and shared memory buffering.

4. What feature automatically negotiates the best speed and duplex setting between interconnecting devices?

  • auto-MDIX
  • autobots
  • autonegotiation
  • autotune

Explanation: Autonegotiation is a technology that automatically negotiates the speed and duplex between two connected devices.
