050-696 Question #37: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is A. 802.2. When no existing IPX traffic is detected on the network during OES NetWare installation, the installer defaults to binding IPX with the Ethernet_802.2 (802.2) frame type.
Question
You're implementing a network for your company from scratch. You've just completed installing the CAT-5 wiring, RJ-45 jacks, and Fast Ethernet switches that will service your network. During the installation of OES NetWare, the only system connected to the network is the server you are performing the installation on. As you have decided to use the IPX protocol on your network, what frame type will be bound, by default, to your server's network board by the installation program?
Options
- A802.2
- B802.3
- C802.5
- DEthernet_II
- EEthernet_SNAP
Explanation
When no existing IPX traffic is detected on the network during OES NetWare installation, the installer defaults to binding IPX with the Ethernet_802.2 (802.2) frame type.
Common mistakes.
- B. 802.3 (Ethernet_RAW) was the default IPX frame type for legacy NetWare 2.x and 3.x but is not the default for OES NetWare or any version 4.x and later.
- C. 802.5 is a Token Ring frame type and is inapplicable to a Fast Ethernet environment built with CAT-5 cabling and RJ-45 connectors.
- D. Ethernet_II is primarily used for TCP/IP encapsulation and is not the default frame type selected when IPX auto-detection finds no existing traffic.
- E. Ethernet_SNAP is not the default IPX frame type; it is used for specific protocol encapsulation and is not automatically chosen when no traffic is detected.
