Chapter 6: Intro to Internet Protocol Flashcards
What’s the disadvantage of an IP machine is diskless? pg. 193
it won’t know it’s IP address
A client calls and tells you he can’t figure out his IP address, but he does get his MAC address from his system. What would you advise him to do to obtain an IP address? pg. 193
utilize the RARP / Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
How exactly does RARP work? pg. 193
RARP sends out a packet that includes the MAC address and a request for the IP address assigned to that MAC

The data transmitted across a network is wrapped with protocol information and is known as ___? pg. 194
encapsulation
What is used to hold the control information of the data to communicate and exchange information on each level of the OIS model? pg. 194
PDU / Protocol Data Units
Where can PDUs be found or located? pg. 194
PDUs are attached to the data at each level usually attached to the header in front, but can also be found in the trailer or end of it
What OSI layer sets up a virtual circuit by sending over a synch packet to the receiving device? pg .194
Transport layer
When the data stream is broken up as it comes down the OSI model and becomes a segment at the Transport layer, what happens to the data at the Network layer? pg. 195
the data becomes a packet or datagram
What part of the process are the packets from the Network layer placed on the network medium whether it be cable or wireless? pg. 195
Data Link
What’s the logic behind a frame (of data) ? pg 195
1s and 0s
What layer handles the encoding of logical digits into a digital signal? pg. 195
Physical
What will the receiving device do with the digital signal transmitted? pg. 195
