Dante Level 2 Test Questions and
Answers Graded A+
How does precision time protocol (PTP) work in dante devices? - Correct answer-
The clock leader dstributes a very accurate date-time reference. Each follower
derives the required sample rate or frame rate from this leader.
What is the golden rule for commissioning redundant networks? - Correct answer-
Work on one network at a time, verify that devices are not set to switched mode
How much switching capacity is needed for a switch with 10 1 Gbps ports? -
Correct answer-20 Gbps-10 Gbps both ways on each port
When would be a good time to consider engaging QoS? - Correct answer-
Whenever 100 Mbps dante devices are on the network
When ports begin to approach saturation, around 60-80%.

, When we have traffic on a converged network, so there is something to de-
prioritize
How many switches should be IGMP querier? - Correct answer-Only one
DSCP values range from 0-63. What is that used for in QoS? - Correct answer-
When configuring the switch, you can determine which DSCP values will lead to
which queue.
How can you monitor Dante traffic performance? - Correct answer-Dante
controller latency screen-shows packet arrival times. Counts as a late packet if it
doesn't make it within the latency window.
When should IGMP snooping or any multicast management be considered for a
dante network? - Correct answer-When the estimated multicast bandwidth may
approach a network ports saturation point, impacting performance.
TCP vs UDP - Correct answer-TCP: A connection with delivery verification. Good
for general internet traffic where dropped packets are likely.
UDP: One way transmission with no delivery verification. Suitable for LANS
where traffic is under your control and interruptions are unlikely. Preferred for real
time networks for lower overhead and lower latency.
