C
Which pins are connected on a cross-over cable?
1 and 3; 2 and 6
How do switches dynamically detect the speed setting on a particular Ethernet segment?
Fast Link Pulses (FLP)
Define CSMA/CD
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection.
Define a collision domain.
A set of devices that can send frames that collide with frames sent by another device in that same set of devices.
Define Ethernet Field Preamble (DIX)
Provides synchronization and signal transitions to allow proper clocking of the transmitted signal. Consists of 62 alternating 1s and 0s, and ends with a pair of 1s.
Define Ethernet Field Preamble and Start of Frame Delimiter (802.3)
Same purpose and binary value as DIX preamble; 802.3 simply renames the 8-byte DIX preamble as a 7-byte preamble and a 1-byte Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD).
Define Ethernet Field Type (or Protocol Type) (DIX)
2-byte field that identifies the type of protocol or protocol header that follows the header. Allows the receiver of the frame to know how to process a received frame.
Define Ethernet Field Destination Service Access Point (802.2)
DSAP; 1-byte protocol type field. The size limitations, along with other uses of the low-order bits, required the later addition of SNAP headers.
Define Ethernet Field Source Service Access Point (802.2)
SSAP; 1-byte protocol type field that describes the upper-layer protocol that created the frame.
Define Ethernet Field Control (802.2)
1- or 2-byte field that provides mechanisms for both connectionless and connection-oriented operation. Generally used only for connectionless operation by modern protocols, with a 1-byte value of 0x03.
Define Ethernet Field Organizationally Unique Identifier (SNAP)
OUI; 3-byte field, generally unused today, providing a place for the sender of the frame to code the OUI representing the manufacturer of the Ethernet NIC.
Define Ethernet Field Type (SNAP)
2-byte Type field, using same values as the DIX Type field, overcoming deficiencies with size and use of the DSAP field.
What is the meaning of the Individual/Group bit?
Bit 8 in the 1st byte of the MAC address. Binary 0 means the address is a unicast; Binary 1 means the address is a multicast or broadcast.
What is the meaning of the Universal/Local bit?
Bit 7 in the 1st byte of the MAC address. Binary 0 means the address is vendor assigned; Binary 1 means the address has been administratively assigned, overriding the vendor-assigned address.
List the LAN Switch Forwarding behaviors for types of addresses
Known unicast: Forwards frame out the single interface associated with the destination address
Define SPAN and RSPAN
Switch Port Analyzer and Remote Switch Port Analyzer. SPAN and RSPAN mirrors received or transmitted (or both) traffic on a source port and received traffic on one or more source ports or source VLANs, to a destination port for analysis.
