CHAPTER 8: Networking Flashcards
A IEEE standard designed to enhance security of wireless networks by authenticating a user to a central authority.
802.1x
A group of IEEE standards that defi ne how to transfer Ethernet 802.3 data over wireless networks.
802.11
A group of IEEE standards that defi ne the transfer of data over wired Ethernet based networks.
802.3
The fi rst portion of an IP address that allows the identifi cation of that addresses type and therefore purpose.
address prefix
A group of wireless computers sharing data directly with each other without the use of a wireless access point.
ad hoc network
A method for sharing folders that allows you to pick the specifi c options you want. NTFS permissions are not confi gured.
Advanced sharing
A set of static IP confi guration information that is used instead of APIPA when a computer is unable to contact a DHCP server.
alternate IP confi guration
A command-line utility that can be used to display and manage the ARP table, which maps IPv4 addresses to physical MAC addresses.
arp
Parts of the computer, applications, and operating system components that can be attacked by hackers, viruses, and malware during their attempts to intrude on a computer system.
attack surface
A system used to automatically assign an IP address on the 169.254.x.x network to a computer that is unable to communicate with a DHCP server. A default gateway setting is not confi gured with APIPA.
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)
A device that converts network signals from the cable company to a standard Ethernet.
cable modem
A notation technique that summarizes the number of binary bits in an IP address that identify the network an IP address belongs to, counted starting from the left-hand side of the IP address as written in binary form. The number of bits is written at the end of the IP address with a slash ?/? symbol separating the two values (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 or FE80::/64).
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
A client allows you to communicate with a particular service running on a remote computer.
client
The client that allows Windows 7 to access fi les and printers shared on other Windows computers by using the SMB protocol.
Client for Microsoft Networks
The clients, services, and protocols that are confi gured for a network card.
connection (network connection)
A wizard in Computer Management to create shared folders that does not confi gure NTFS permissions.
Create A Shared Folder Wizard
A router on the local network that is used to deliver packets to remote networks.
default gateway
A high-speed Internet connection over telephone lines.
Digital subscriber line (DSL)
A system for converting computer host names to IP addresses.
Domain Name System (DNS)
The location type that is used when a computer joined to a domain is on the domain network, for example, a corporate offi ce.
domain network
A device that converts DSL signals to standard Ethernet.
DSL modem
An automated mechanism to assign IP addresses and IP confi guration information over the network.
Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol (DHCP)
The service that allows Windows 7 to share fi les and printers by using the SMB protocol.
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
A command-line utility that can be used to display the MAC address for network adapters on a system.
getmac
The location type that is used for highly trusted networks where security is minimal and convenient sharing with other computers is a priority.
Home network
A feature that allows fi le sharing between computers on a hoe network without a complicated setup process.
homegroup network
A command-line utility that can be used to identify the name of the computer.
hostname
A professional society that promotes and nurtures the development of standards used in the application of electronic technology.
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)
A Windows 7 feature that allows multiple computers to share an Internet connection by performing NAT.
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
The standard protocol used on corporate networks and the Internet.
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
