answer
how the connection between nodes appears to the data link layer how nodes share the media (pg 206)
question
What makes fiber preferable to copper cabling for interconnecting buildings? (Choose three.)
answer

question
Refer to the exhibit. What is the maximum possible throughput between the PC and the server?
answer
128 kb/s The maximum throughput between any two nodes on a network is determined by the slowest link between those nodes.
question
Which statement describes a characteristic of the frame header fields of the data link layer?
answer
They vary depending on protocols.
question
Which statement correctly describes frame encoding?
answer
It converts bits into a predefined code in order to provide a predictable pattern to help distinguish data bits from control bits.
question
A network administrator is designing a new network infrastructure that includes both wired and wireless connectivity. Under which situation would a wireless connection be recommended?

question
What method is used to manage contention-based access on a wireless network?
answer
CSMA/CA Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is used with wireless networking technology to mediate media contention. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) is used with wired Ethernet technology to mediate media contention. Priority ordering and token passing are not used (or not a method) for media access control.
