8.

Which function is a unique responsibility of the DCE devices shown in the exhibit?

9. Which address does a bridge use to make filtering and switching decisions?
• source MAC
• source IP
• destination MAC*
• destination IP

10. What is characteristic of how a hub operates?
• A hub selectively drops packets that represent potential security risks.
• A hub forwards data out all interfaces except the inbound interface.*
• A hub dynamically learns the interfaces to which all devices are attached.
• At start up, a hub queries the devices on all interfaces in order to learn the MAC addresses of the attached devices.
