Q

What is IEEE

A

The institute of electrical and electronics engineers, they define the cabling, the connectors on the ends of the cables, the protocol rules, and everything else required to create an Ethernet LAN

Q

SFP

A

Small Form Pluggable. The replacement for GBICs used on a gigabit interface with a smaller size, taking up less space on the side of the networking card or switch . SFP supports speeds upto 4.25 Gbps

10GBASE-S type and distance

A

MM fiber 400m

23
Q

10GBASE-LX4 type and distance

A

MM fiber

300m

24
Q

10GBASE-LR type and distance

A

SM fiber

10km

25
Q

10GBASE-E type and distance

A

SM fiber

30km

26
Q

Min and max of a PDU

A

46-1500 kb

27
Q

What does a data link header and trailer consist of

A

Header

Preamble 7 - synchronization

SFD (start frame delimiter) 1 - signifies that the next bite begins the destination Mac address field.

Destination 6 - recipient

Source 6 - sender

Type 2 - ipv4 or ipv6

Trailer

FCS(frame Check Sequence) 4 - error detection

The data and pad in-between can vary between 46-1500 bytes

28
Q

What is a mac address

A

Media access control address . It is the hardcoded physical address on a nic. It is comprised of 6-bytes(or 48 bits) binary numbers, but it is usually displayed in a 12-digit hexadecimal number.

29
Q

What is an OUI

A

Organizationally unique identifier. It is a unique 3 byte code given by the IEEE. It is the first 3 bytes of a mac address . The last 3 are vendor assigned.

30
Q

Broadcast address

A

Frame sent to this address should be delivered to all devices on the ethernet LAN. It has a value of FFFF.FFFF.FFFF

31
Q

Multicast Address

A

frame sent to a multicast ethernet address will be copied and forwarded to a subset of the devices on the lan that volunteers to receive frames sent to a specific multicast address.

32
Q

Half duplex

A

The device must wait to send if it is currently receiving a frame. In other words it cannot send and receive at the same time.

33
Q

Full Duplex

A

Devices can send and receive that at the same time.

34
Q

CSMA/CD

A

Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection. This is an algorithm use with half duplex logic.

A device with a frame to send listings until the ethernet is not busy. When the ethernet is not busy, the sender begins to send the frame. The sender listens while sending to discover whether a collision occurs. If this happens then the sender independently chooses a random time to wait before trying again to avoid unfortunate timing.

35
Q

What devices usually operate in half duplex

A

Hubs

36
Q

Which devices usually operate in full Duplex

A

Switches

37
Q

What device does the term Ethernet shared media refer to

A

Hubs
