Q

Define Collision Domain

A

Every device on the segment must process a frame that is sent out. When there is a collision devices must retransmit. Each port on a switch is considered to be a separate collision domain.

Q

What is CSMA/CD

A

Carrier Sense Multiple Access helps devices share bandwidth while preventing devices from transmitting simultaneously. First it checks the wire and continues to monitor. A jam signal is sent out if another precense is detected.

Q

Outline the formula for a MAC address

A
First 24 bits = Organization Unique Identifier
Last 24 bits = Vendor Assigned
Bit # 47 = Individual/Group Bit
- 0 = MAC Address
- 1 = Multicast address
Bit # 46 = Global/local bit or Universal/Local bit
- 0 is globally administered by IEEE
- 1 is locally governed and administered

24
Q

What is an ethernet frame use for

A

To encapsulate packets passed down from the network layer from some kind of media access

25
Q

Outline the Structure of a frame

A

Preamble | SFD | Destination | Source |Type | Data & Pad | FCS

26
Q

What is a preamble

A

Alternating 0 & 1 provides a 5 MHz clock lock on to the data stream

27
Q

What is a start frame delimeter

A

Preabmle is 7 octets and the SFD is 1 octet. This allows devices to come into the middle of the preamble and still be able to sync up to the beginning.

Q

What is a fiber cable made up of and what are the layers to a fiber cable.

A

Glass or plastic core. The smaller the core the farther the distance

40
Q

What protocol data unit is used at the network layer

A

Packets and Datagrams

41
Q

What protocol data unit is used at the transport layer

A

Segment

42
Q

What protocol data unit is used at the data link layer

A

frames

43
Q

What protocol data unit is used at the physical layer

A

bits

44
Q

What are the steps to processing data from the transmitter

A
  1. User info converted to data for transmission on network
  2. Data converted is segmented and reliable connection is established
  3. Segments converted to packets/datagrams and logical addressing placed in header
  4. Packts/datagrams converted to frames and hardware address used to identify hosts
  5. Frames -> bits, digital encoding/clocking scheme used
45
Q

What is a socket

A

a virtual circuit that is the source/destination port plus the source/destination IP address

46
Q

What are the three layers in the Cisco Hierarchical Model

A

Core Layer
Distribution Layer
Access Layer

47
Q

Explain the Core layer in the Cisco Hierarchical Model

A
  • Top
  • Responsible for transporting large amounts of traffic reliably & quickly
  • Switch Traffic as fast as possible
  • Every User loses access when failure
  • No access lists, no vlans, no packet filtering
  • Avoid expanding - Upgrades before expansion
  • Design for reliability
  • Design for speed
    Select routing protocols with low convergence times
48
Q

Explain the Distribution layer in the Cisco Hierarchical Model

A

Workgroup layer
provide filtering, routing, and WAN access
Implement policies here
Redistributing between routing protocols
routing between VLAN
Defines multicast & broadcast domains

49
Q

Explain the access layer in the Cisco Hierarchical Model

A
Desktop layer 
Continues use of access
creates separate collision domains
device connectivity
resiliance and security services
advance technology capabilities
