Block 6 1A Flashcards
What are the four internetworking challenges?
Connectivity
Reliable service
Network management
Flexibility
A _______________ is a connection of INDIVIDUAL NETWORKS, connected by intermediate by intermediate devices that function as a single large network.
Internetwork
What are the two common devices used to address and overcome some of the internetworking challenges?
Routers and switches
In network segmentation… routers and switches are used to segment a network into separate _____________ and separate ___________________.
Collision domains
Broadcast domains
What is a group of devices connected to the same physical media so that when two devices try to access the media at the same time, the two signals will collide with each other and destroy and data stream?
Collision domain
Ethernet (802.3) utilities a process called __________ to prevent more than one device accessing the network cable at any one time and reduce the number of collisions.
CSMA/CD
A _______________ is a PORTION of the network, limited by its router connection to a specific group of host computers in a common LAN segment.
Broadcast domain
Comm between devices on the broadcast domain are via
Data link layer address (MAC)
All host in the broadcast domain share a common limited or local broadcast scheme of
255.255.255.255
All host in the broadcast domain also share a common logical network layer scheme( directed broadcast) also called a ___________.
Subnet
Actual communication across an internetwork is made possible by using _____________.
Communication protocols
What is the worlds most popular open-system (nonproprietary) protocol suite because they can be used to communicate across any set of interconnect networks and are equally well suited for LAN and WAN comm?
Internet protocols (also called the TCP/IP protocol suite)
Address schemes vary depending on the ___________ and the ____________.
Protocol family, OSI Layer
How many physical network connections do host have?
One (thus have only one data-link address)
What is an internetworking device that typically has multiple physical network connections?
Router (this having multiple data-link addresses.)
___________ addresses usually exist within hierarchical address space and are called virtual or logical address.
Network address
The relationship between a network address and a device is ____________
Logical and unfixed
What are Protocols within a protocol suite that are responsible for providing the LOGICAL ADDRESSING that routers use to determine where to send the data packet on its way to the destination network?
Routed protocols
Which encapsulates data to be sent over the network ?
Routed
What protocols build routing tables?
Routing protocols
Where do routed protocols occur?
Upper 5 layers of the OSI model
It’s two primary responsibilities are providing Connectionless, best effort delivery of packets through an internetwork based on Logical address and providing fragmentation and reassembly of packets to support data links with different MTU sizes.
Internet protocol (IP)
Packets at the receiving computer after crossing a network are identified as belonging to the same group by _____________.
Common identifier number
What protocol is designed for address resolution which is the process of mapping IP network addresses to to MAC addresses?
Address resolution protocol (ARP)
Protocols that enables network devices to learn MAC and network later address of other network devices.
Also functions as keep alives to ensure a connected router is functional.
Hello protocols
A network layer internet management protocol that provides message packets to report errors and other information regarding packet processing back to the source.
ICMP
This can used to test IP through the network. It sends an ICMP echo request to a destination IP address. If the destination machine receives the request it responds with an ICMP echo reply.
Ping
What are routing protocols responsible for?
Path determination(layer 3) and packet switching (layer 2)
____________ calls for routed to be calculated automatically at regular intervals by software in routing tables.
Dynamic routing
An IP routing table, which consist of destination address/next hop pairs, is used to enable _______________.
Dynamic routing
