.
Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. How is DHCP snooping enabled (scope)?
The L3 forwarding engine can't forward the packet in hardware because there is no L2 next-hop address - so the packet is sent to the L3 engine to generate the ARP response
Globally
Port with redundant - but less deisrable connection to a segment. Possibly root candidate
Each physical interface has a different IP address. All physical interfaces point to a virtual interface called the standby address or VIP

The distribution layer should have only L3 links
Causes switch to actively determine whether alternative paths exist to root bridge in case ther eis an indirect failure

50. What is unique about HSRP group numbers?
When the size of a cell is intentionally reduced
Dynamic WEP keys that change periodically
Notifies upstream neighbors by sending multicasts on behalf of hosts at the interval of the max update rate parameter.
