Sample Questions

Question 1

What is the primary difference between a router and a switch?

A. Routers cannot be used in enterprise networks, under common configurations, as described in standard reference material
B. Switches operate at higher speeds than routers in deployment, in typical production scenarios
C. Routers forward packets between IP networks; switches forward frames within a broadcast domain
D. Switches use IP addresses to forward traffic between subnets, in the most widely deployed implementations

✓ Correct Answer: C

Routers perform Layer 3 forwarding between IP networks using routing tables; switches perform Layer 2 forwarding within a broadcast domain using MAC tables. B is overstated. A is incorrect. D describes router function, not switch function.

Question 2

A switch builds its forwarding table by recording what information?

A. IP addresses learned from ARP request and reply packets
B. BGP route advertisements received from upstream neighbors
C. Destination MAC addresses observed in outbound forwarded frames
D. Source MAC addresses observed on each physical port

✓ Correct Answer: D

Switches learn by inspecting the source MAC of arriving frames and mapping it to the ingress port. A is the ARP table, kept by hosts and routers. C reverses learning direction. B is a routing concept, not switching.
