33
Q

What is CSMA/CD?

A

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. Each device senses the cable for a digital signal before transmitting. Frame collisions result in a jamming pattern then hosts re-transmit after a random interval.

59
Q

Ethernet link

A

A generic term for any physical link between two Ethernet nodes, no matter what type of cabling is used.

60
Q

A popular type of cabling connector used for Ethernet cabling. It is similar to the RJ-11 connector used for telephone wiring in homes in the United States. Allows the connection of eight wires.

A

RJ-45

61
Q

A generic term for the opening on the side of any Ethernet node, typically in an Ethernet NIC or LAN switch, into which an Ethernet cable can be connected.

A

62
Q

A computer card, sometimes an expansion card and sometimes integrated into the motherboard of the computer, that provides the electronics and other functions to connect to a computer network.

A

network interface card (NIC)

63
Q

A 48-bit (6-byte) binary number, usually written as a 12-digit hexadecimal number, used to identify Ethernet nodes in an Ethernet network describes what?

A

Ethernet address

64
Q

A standardized data link layer address that is required for every device that connects to a LAN. 6 bytes long and controlled by the IEEE. Also known as a hardware address or a physical address.

A

MAC address

65
Q

A local-area network (LAN) that physically transmits bits using radio waves. The name “wireless” compares these LANs to more traditional “wired” LANs, which are LANs that use cables (which often have copper wires inside).
