Chapter 1 Flashcards
What does OSI Stand for?
Open Systems Interconnection
What does TCP/IP stand for?
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet protocol
What is the first layer in the OSI?
Phyiscal
What is the second layer in the OSI?
Data Link
What is the third layer in the OSI?
Network - Packets get created and addressed so they can go from one network to another.
What is the fourth layer in the OSI?
Transport - The segmentation/reassembly software, also initializes requests for packets that weren’t received in good order.
What is the fifth layer in the OSI?
Session - Handles all the sessions for a system. This layer initiates sessions, accept incoming sessions, and opens and closes existing session.
What is the sixth layer in the OSI?
Presentation - Translates data from lower layers into a format usable by the Application layer and vice versa.
What is the seventh layer in the OSI?
Application - The code built into all operating systems that enables network-aware applications. All operating systems have API (Application Programming Interface) that programmers can use to make their programs network aware.
Where does a hub send data?
Data comes into a hub through on e wire and is then sent out through all the other wires. A Hub sends data to all the systems connected to it.
What uniquely identifies every NIC?
The unique identifier on a network interface card is called Media Access Control (MAC) Address
What Windows utility do you use to find the MAC address for a system?
ipconfig /all
A MAC address is known as a(n)_______ address?
The MAC Address is a Physical Address
A NIC sends data in discrete chunks called_____?
Data sent in discrete chunks called Frames. Networks use Frames to keep any one NIC from hogging the wire.
Which MAC Address begins a frame?
The frame begins with the MAC address of the Receiving systems. Followed by the MAC address of the sending NIC, followed, in turn, by the type of encapsulated data, the data, and FCS.
