Questions About The OSI Model

The document contains 20 multiple choice questions about the layers of the OSI model. It tests knowledge about which layer is responsible for various network functions, such as determining communicating partners, routing paths, formatting data, managing sessions, ensuring reliable data transmission, providing logical addressing, and encapsulating/decapsulating different types of data packets, frames and bits. The physical, data link, network, transport and application layers are covered in the questions.

Questions about the OSI model

1. Which layer chooses and determines the availability of communicating partners


along with the resources necessary to make the connection, coordinates
partnering applications, and forms a consensus on procedures for controlling
data integrity and error recovery?

- The aplication layer.

2. Which layer is responsible for converting data packets from the Data Link layer
into electrical signals?

- The physical layer

3. At which layer is routing implemented, enabling connections and path selection


between two end systems?

- The network layer

4. Which layer defines how data is formatted, presented, encoded, and converted
for use on the network?

- Presentation layer

5. Which layer is responsible for creating, managing, and terminating sessions


between applications?

- The sesion layer

6. Which layer ensures the trustworthy transmission of data across a physical link
and is primarily concerned with physical addressing, line discipline, network
topology, error notification, ordered delivery of frames, and flow control?

- Physical layer

7. Which layer is used for reliable communication between end nodes over the
network and provides mechanisms for establishing, maintaining, and
terminating virtual circuits; transport-fault detection and recovery; and
controlling the flow of information?

- Transport layer

8. Which layer provides logical addressing that routers will use for path
determination?
- Network layer

9. Which layer specifies voltage, wire speed, and pinout cables and moves bits
between devices?

- Physical layer

10. Which layer combines bits into bytes and bytes into frames, uses MAC
addressing, and provides error detection?

- Data link layer

11. A Cisco router has received a frame on an interface that is connected to a local
network segment. The router has de-encapsulated the frame. What step is next
in processing the packet?

- Search the router for get the routing table to send the packet

12. Which layer is represented by frames?

- Data link layer

13. Which layer is represented by segments?

- Transport layer

14. Which layer is represented by packets?

- Network layer

15. Which layer is represented by bits?

- Physical layer

16. Put the following in order of encapsulation:


1. Segments
2. Packets
3. Frames
4. bits
17. Which layer segments and reassembles data into a data stream?

- Transport layer

18. Which layer provides the physical transmission of the data and handles error
notification, network topology, and flow control?

- Link data layer


19. Which layer manages device addressing, tracks the location of devices on the
network, and determines the best way to move data?

- Physical layer

20. What is the bit length and expression form of a MAC address?

- The bit length is of 48 max and a MAC address is usually displayed in the

following format: XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX, where each X is a digit or letter from A to

F.
