Question
10. A switch and a NIC are negotiating a connection. The switch operates at 10 Mbps, and 10000 Mbps. The switch supports both half-duplex and full-duplex connect The NIC operates at 1000 Mbps and 10000 Mbps. The NIC supports both half-duple full-duplex connections. After the negotiation, what speed will the link operate at? wil i duplex connections x and be full-duplex or half-duplex? 11. Your boss wants to upgrade your full-duplex switched Ethernet local area network from 100BaseT to 1000BaseT Assume the existing NICs in your hosts are full-duplex and operate at IOMbps and 100Mbps. Will you need to upgrade the NICs? Assume the existing switch is full duplex and operates at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps. Will you need to upgrade the switch? Assume all of your existing horizontal cabling and patch cables are CAT6. Will you need to upgrade the cabling? (Hint: look at Table 3.1 in your text or the notes.) Will you need to upgrade your software? a. b. c. d. 12. State whether there will there be a collision in each of the following situations. a. Two hosts transmit through a hub simultaneously b. Two hosts transmit through a full-duplex switched Ethernet switch simultaneouslyExplanation / Answer
10) Since both supports 1000 and 10000 mbps and full/half duplex, as per cisco standards link will operate at full i.e. 10000mbps speed and in full duplex mode.
11)
a) It is recommended to upgrade NIC as it is not operating at 1000mpbs. If NIC oprates at lower speeds then there will always be negotiations between the NIC and the switch resulting at lower speeds and netwrok will not be able to take advantage of the 1000baseT.
b) Upgrading switches not required
c) No, for 1000bastT cables recommended are CAT5 or above so exixting cables should work.
12)
a) Collision will occur in half duplex but not in full duplex
b) No collision will not occur
