1 What is one advantage of using the cut-through switching method instead of the store-and-forward switching method?has a positive impact on bandwidth by dropping most of the invalid framesmakes a fast forwarding decision based on the source MAC address of the framehas a lower latency appropriate for high-performance computing applications?*provides the flexibility to support any mix of Ethernet speeds2 A network designer must provide a rationale to a customer for a design which will move an enterprise from a flat network topology to a hierarchical network topology. Which two features of the hierarchical design make it the better choice? (Choose two.)reduced cost for equipment and user trainingless required equipment to provide the same performance levelssimpler deployment for additional switch equipment*easier to provide redundant links to ensure higher availability*lower bandwidth requirements3 What are two advantages of modular switches over fixed-configuration switches? (Choose two.)availability of multiple ports for bandwidth aggregationlower forwarding ratesneed for fewer power outlets*lower cost per switchincreased scalability*4Refer to the exhibit. Consider that the main power has just been restored. PC1 asks the DHCP server for IPv4 addressing. The DHCP server sends it an IPv4 address. While PC2 is still booting up, PC3 issues a broadcast IPv4 DHCP request. To which port will SW1 forward this request?? to Fa0/1, Fa0/2, and Fa0/4 only?to Fa0/1, Fa0/2, Fa0/3, and Fa0/4to Fa0/1 and Fa0/2 onlyto Fa0/1, Fa0/2, and Fa0/3 only*to Fa0/1 only?5 What is one function of a Layer 2 switch?forwards data based on logical addressinglearns the port assigned to a host by examining the destination MAC addressduplicates the electrical signal of each frame to every portdetermines which interface is used to forward a frame based on the destination MAC address*6Refer to the exhibit. Fill in the blank.There are ” 12 ” collision domains in the topology.?7 What is a collapsed core i
