Same for: 6.2.6 Check Your Understanding – Switch Speeds and Forwarding Methods
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.
