Answer 3

(Novell Ethernet) does not include a Layer 2 Data Link identifier

Question 4

port bonding

Answer 4

the configuration information that determines where and how a message will be sent or received.

Question 5

MLT

Answer 5

(Multilink trunking) binds ports together to allow fault tolerance or greater throughput

Question 6

Ethernet bonding

Answer 6

combining the bandwidth from two ore more Ethernet links

Question 7

Ethernet SNAP

Answer 7

allows larger number of protocols, a better Ethernet_802.2

Question 8

channel bonding

Answer 8

uses two or more channels to move data

Question 9

SONET

Answer 9

(Synchronous Optical Network) transfers multiple digital bit streams over fiber-optic

Question 10

NFT

Answer 10

(Network Fault Tolerance) bonding technique that provides network redundancy

Question 11

ad hoc wireless network

Answer 11

does not rely on a pre existing infrastructure

Question 12

CSMA/CA

Answer 12

(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) nodes attempt to avoid collisions by transmitting only when the channel is sensed to be “idle”.

Question 13

CSMA/CD

Answer 13

(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) used most notably in local area networking using early Ethernet technology.

Question 14

content-based access method

Answer 14

accessing a network in which different nodes compete to see which node can send out its packet first

Question 15

Ethernet DIX

Answer 15

(Ethernet II) can be used directly by the IP

Question 16

MAC address filtering

Answer 16

only a pre-programmed MAC address is allowed access to a specific WAP

Question 17

Ethernet II

Answer 17

(Ethernet DIX) can be used directly by the IP

Question 18

channel

Answer 18

specific subrange of radio frequencies that has been set aside within 2.4 GHz

Question 19

baseband

Answer 19

a signal that has a very narrow frequency range

Question 20

broadband

Answer 20

transports multiple signals and traffic types.

Question 21

RAIN

Answer 21

(Redundant Array of Independent Nodes) protects data stored at the file-system level by providing redundancy across network nodes

Question 22

SOHO

Answer 22

(Small Office Home Office)

Question 23

link aggregation

Answer 23

bonding method to increase link speed of multiple network cables and ports

Question 24

Novel Ethernet

Answer 24

(Ethernet_802.3) does not include a Layer 2 Data Link identifier

Question 25

SSID

Answer 25

(Service Set Identifier) Network name for wireless

broadcast networking

Answer 26

transmitting a packet that will be received by every device on the network

Question 27

bonding

Answer 27

increases network throughput by using two ore more NICs
