The previous post posed a question that appeared straightforward – but one that set up a couple of the more common mistakes that people make with the subject of Layer 2 frame forwarding. The goal was twofold: yet another practice
How does a Layer 2 switch choose where to send a frame? Does it think about more than the destination MAC address? One of the common mistakes videos in the new “CCENT ICND1 100-105 Exam Prep LiveLessons” product talks about
The previous sample question gave us lots of example static IPv4 routes to think about. The answer and explanation are below the fold, as usual. Ask’em if you’ve got’em!

Host A web browsers to server E, which sits on a different subnet. Who ARPs for whom, and where? Check the question, pick your answer, and come back here to check your answer and see the explanation.
Are you an #ARP pretender? ARP is simple. At the same time, ARP can be used as both a testing tool and interview tool determine whether someone really knows how networks work, or if they just read the basics in
You know the drill. Check this earlier port security question, and then come back here to check your answer and logic. The answer is below the fold. Enjoy!
The lobby has a live Ethernet port: it’s time to lock that port down with port security. As usual, this post poses the question, and the next post (which will be linked at the bottom of this one once it’s there)
It seems simple… and then you’re sitting at the #CCENT or #CCNA exam. Where does that Ethernet frame really go? I posted a question about LAN Switching a few days back. Here are the answers! Post with any related clarifications or comments.
To get your #CCENT and #CCNA, you must have the skill to predict how switches forward Ethernet frames. This skill goes beyond a simple generic list of actions like forward/filter/flood. This next question gives you another chance to build those
