A.
There are no collisions in full-duplex mode.

B.
A dedicated switch port is required for each full-duplex node.

C.
Ethernet hub ports are preconfigured for full-duplex mode.

D.
In a full-duplex environment, the host network card must check for the availability of the network
media before transmitting.

E.
The host network card and the switch port must be capable of operating in full-duplex mode.

Explanation:
Half-duplex Ethernet is defined in the original 802.3 Ethernet and Cisco says you only use one
wire pair with a digital signal running in both directions on the wire. It also uses the CSMA/CD
protocol to help prevent collisions and to permit retransmitting if a collision does occur. If a hub is
attached to a switch, it must operate in half-duplex mode because the end stations must be able to
detect collisions. Half-duplex Ethernet—typically 10BaseT—is only about 30 to 40 percent efficient
as Cisco sees it, because a large 10BaseT network will usually only give you 3- to 4Mbps—at
most.
Full-duplex Ethernet uses two pairs of wires, instead of one wire pair like half duplex. Also, full
duplex uses a point-to-point connection between the transmitter of the transmitting device and the
receiver of the receiving device, which means that with full-duplex data transfer, you get a faster
data transfer compared to half duplex. And because the transmitted data is sent on a different set
of wires than the received data, no collisions occur. The reason you don’t need to worry about
collisions is because now Full-duplex Ethernet is like a freeway with multiple lanes instead of the
single-lane road provided by half duplex. Full-duplex Ethernet is supposed to offer 100 percent
efficiency in both directions; this means you can get 20Mbps with a 10Mbps Ethernet running full
duplex, or 200Mbps for FastEthernet.

    QUESTION 151
    Which layer of the TCP/IP stack combines the OSI model physical and data link layers?
    A. Internet layer
    B. transport layer
    C. application layer
    D. network access layer
    Correct Answer: D
    QUESTION 152
    Which protocol uses a connection-oriented service to deliver files between end systems?
    A. TFTP
    B. DNS
    C. FTP
    D. SNMP
    E. RIP
    Correct Answer: C

    QUESTION 153
    Which transport layer protocol provides best-effort delivery service with no acknowledgment receipt required?
    A. HTTP
    B. IP
    C. TCP
    D. Telnet
    E. UDP
    Correct Answer: E
    Section: (none)

    Explanation
    Explanation/Reference:
    UDP provides a connectionless datagram service that offers best-effort delivery, which means that UDP does not guarantee delivery or verify sequencing for any
    datagrams.A source host that needs reliable communication must use either TCP or a program that provides its own sequencing and acknowledgment services.

    QUESTION 154
    Which layer of the OSI model controls the reliability of communications between network devices using flow control, sequencing and acknowledgments?
    A. Physical
    B. Data-link
    C. Transport
    D. Network
    Correct Answer: C
    QUESTION 155
    Which statements are true regarding ICMP packets? (Choose two.)
    A. They acknowledge receipt of TCP segments.
    B. They guarantee datagram delivery.
    C. TRACERT uses ICMP packets.
    D. They are encapsulated within IP datagrams.
    E. They are encapsulated within UDP datagrams.
    Correct Answer: CD
    QUESTION 156
    What must occur before a workstation can exchange HTTP packets with a web server?
    A. A UDP connection must be established between the workstation and its default gateway.
    B. A UDP connection must be established between the workstation and the web server.
    C. A TCP connection must be established between the workstation and its default gateway.
    D. A TCP connection must be established between the workstation and the web server.
    E. An ICMP connection must be established between the workstation and its default gateway.
    F. An ICMP connection must be established between the workstation and the web server.
    Correct Answer: D
