SCENARIO: You have a Dante system that seems to be functioning correctly, there are no
external word clocks configured, no preferred master configured, but there are still a number of
devices that report they are losing sync occasionally. What steps would you take to find the root
cause of the problem? - answer✔-You suspect that multicast traffic is not able to traverse the
network in both directions (i.e. from master to all slaves, and from all slaves to the master). To
check if this is the case you enable unicast delay requests on the slaves, then monitor the clock
status histogram for evidence of disruption in PTP. When this resolves the problem you suspect
that ACLs blocking multicast on UDP ports 319 and 320 in a direction from the slave to the
master is to blame.
-If IGMP Snooping is enabled, you test the system with no audio and IGMP Snooping turned off.
When this resolves the problem you suspect that IGMP snooping has been interfering with the
distribution of multicast traffic between the slaves and the master. You enable unicast delay
requests on all slaves to reduce the amount of multicast traffic that the switches need to track via
IGMP.
Switches look at ________ - answer✔Destination MAC addresses to forward frames
Things to consider when building a network from scratch: - answer✔Sizing links for worst case

to transfer data
A Dante device can have an unlimited number of receive flows. - answer✔False
How do you find out how many transmit flows you are using? - answer✔Tx tab in Dante
controller
An ARP whohas message is ________ - answer✔Broadcast
Giving an external word-clock to a Dante device replaces its internal clock. - answer✔False
IGMP snooping listens for reports to [________] messages in order to restrict [________] traffic.
- answer✔IGMP query, multicast
ARP tables are held in nodes - answer✔True

Layer 4 - Transport
Layer 3 - Network
Layer 2 - Datalink
Layer 1 - Physical
Dante devices have a set number of flows. - answer✔True
A Dante receiving device has a latency setting of 1ms. A Dante transmitting device has a latency
setting of 250µs. If a subscription is created between these units, when will the audio playout of
the receiving device? - answer✔1 milli seconds

- answer✔56
How many channels are contained in a Multicast Flow? - answer✔Up to 8
