4. Answer D is correct. Segmenting data is the responsibility of the transport layer.


5. Answer A is correct. LLC sub-layer of the Data Link helps to identify the upper protocol stack to its peer layer during a network communication. It uses Service Access Points for this purpose.


6. Answers B and C are correct. Crossover cables are used to connect switch to switch and hub to switch.


7. Answer B is correct. MAC addresses, also called hardware addresses, are used to uniquely identify hosts on a local network, by the Data link Layer.


8. Answer C is correct. Crossover cables are used to connect hubs to switches, PC to PC, etc. Pin 1 connects to pin 3 on the other end, and pin 2 connects to pin 6.


9. Answer C is correct. Routers are defined in the distribution layer of the Cisco hierarchical model.
