You are working on a network design and determine that a new test-

data between each host and server running 10Mbps. Other depart-
ments use applications that require less than 3Mbps to the server.
What should you recommend?
A.
Replace the 10Mbps Ethernet hub with a 100Mbs Ethernet hub.
B.
Install a router between departments.
C.
Use a switch with a 100Mbps uplink to the server and 10Mbps to
the hosts.
D.
Use a bridge to break up collision domains.
10.
What technology is a used by Catalyst switches to resolve topology
loops and ensure that data flows properly through a single net-
work path?
A.
RIP
B.
STP
C.
IGRP
D.
Store-and-forward
E.
Cut-through
11.
Which of the following statements is true?
A.
A switch creates a single collision domain and a single broadcast
domain. A router creates a single collision domain.
B.
A switch creates separate collision domains but one broadcast
domain. A router provides a separate broadcast domain.
C.
A switch creates a single collision domain and separate broadcast
domains. A router provides a separate broadcast domain as well.
D.
A switch creates separate collision domains and separate broad-
cast domains. A router provides separate collision domains.
