In the event of a brief power loss, this type of equipment can keep network devices operational temporarily, allowing for a switch to a backup power source.

What is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)?

100

This sends data to all hosts in a network area using the MAC address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.

What is a broadcast frame?

100

This term describes a perpetual loop of broadcast traffic that overloads a network, typically caused by redundant links without proper protocols in place.

 What is a broadcast storm?

100

This IEEE standard provides up to 30 watts of power to devices and is commonly used in PoE applications.

What is 802.3at (PoE+)?

100

The year GCIT's swimming pool was opened.

What is 1993?

200

When experiencing hardware failure, checking these status indicators on a network device can provide quick diagnostics, like identifying if there’s a power or connection issue.

What are LED status indicators?

200

This functions at the Data Link layer to create separate physical network segments, reducing the number of collisions by isolating traffic within each segment. 

What is a bridge?

200

This protocol’s algorithm disables certain ports to prevent loops, maintaining network stability in a switched environment.

What is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)?

200

The maximum data payload size for these frames is 9,216 bytes, reducing frame processing overhead in networks.

What are jumbo frames?

200

The address for GCIT and phone number.

300

On a network switch, a blinking amber LED often indicates this type of problem, such as duplex mismatch or excessive collisions.

What is a fault?

300

This allows each switch port to operate as a separate collision domain, enabling point-to-point full-duplex links, unlike hubs and bridges where collisions affect the entire shared domain. 

What is microsegmentation?

300

This term describes the process of combining two or more network links into a single logical channel to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy.

What is link aggregation?

300

The role assigned to a port that forwards traffic toward the root bridge in an STP-enabled network.

What is a root port?

These types of errors can indicate issues such as mismatched MTUs, high load, or access control list (ACL) permissions not met.

What are discards or drops?

400

This is to physically connect a host to the transmission medium. 

What is a NIC (network interface card?)

400

When using link aggregation at the switch end, Cisco refers to this as this specific term.

What is EtherChannel?  

400

This a unique hardware address for each Ethernet network interface port, and it may also be referred to as an Ethernet address (EA) or extended unique identifier (EUI). 

What is a MAC (media access control) address?

400

A game Favat is currently playing or can not wait for. (Three possibilities, all are on a console, one is also on mobile) 

What is Balatro? Diablo IV? Mario & Luigi: Brothership?

500

This frame error occurs when the size of a frame is less than 64 bytes, typically due to collisions or a duplex mismatch.

What is a runt frame?

500

Identify and explain the three principal modes of operation in Cisco IOS for managing a switch. What capabilities does each mode provide? 

(Daily Double)

What is User EXEC mode (read-only, basic troubleshooting), Privileged EXEC mode (configuration reporting and system management), and Global configuration mode (allows writing updates to the switch’s configuration). 

500

This IEEE standard defines link aggregation and includes the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).

What is 802.3ad?

500

This is a compact, hot-swappable interface module used to connect network and storage switches and transfer data:
