Q

What’s the fourth step in the encapsulation process?

A

The Link Layer converts the packets into frames, adding physical device information and a frame check sequence (FCS) footer for error detection. it also converts the frames into bits for transmission across the transmission media

Q

What is the first step in IP-based communications?

A

The data to be transferred is encapsulated on the sending host by moving from the top layer of the TCP/IP or OSI model to the bottom

Q

Describe Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)

A

means that every node on the network must monitor the bus for a period of no activity before trying to send a message on that bus (carrier sense)

Q

What is a frame

A

a unit of data that is ready to be sent on the network medium

19
Q

What is a preamble?

A

a set of alternating ones and zeros terminated by two ones (11), which mark it as a frame.

20
Q

What is a destination address

A

identifies the receiving host’s MAC address.

21
Q

What is the source address

A

identifies the sending host’s MAC address.

22
Q

What is the type in a ethernet frame

A

is two bytes and specifies the network/internet layer protocol being used.

23
Q

What is a packet

A

contains the information that needs to be transmitted from one host to the other.

24
Q

What is the pad in an ethernet frame

A

Ethernet frames are sized between 64 and 1518 bytes. If the frame is smaller than 64 bytes, the sending NIC places junk data in the pad to make it the required 64 bytes.

25
Q

What is the frame check sequence (FCS)

A

helps verify that the frame contents have arrived uncorrupted

26
Q

What is a hub

A

provides a central connecting point for multiple media segments on the same subnet. When a hub receives a signal, the hub sends out the signal to all the ports on the hub. Hubs operate in half-duplex mode because the path between devices is shared.

27
Q

What is a bridge

A

connects two segments within the same subnet. Bridges learn which side a host resides on by copying the MAC address of the source device and placing it into the MAC address table. The port number at which the frame entered is also recorded in the table and associated with the source MAC address.

28
Q

What is a switch

A

a multiport bridge. It provides the same functionality, but with a higher port density. In addition, switches provide features that cannot be found in bridges

29
Q

What does a layer 2 switch do

A

operates at the Data Link layer of the OSI model to process frames within a single physical network segment.

30
Q

What does a layer 3 switch do

A

provides all the functionality of a layer 2 switch but also provides routing functionality at the Network layer of the OSI model

31
Q

What layer of the OSI model is a router on?

A

Layer 3 device

32
Q

How does a router work?

A

forward packets through an internetwork by maintaining routing information in a database called a routing table

33
Q

What is a routing table?

A

contains the address of all known networks and routing information about that network

34
Q

What does the the routing table store?

A 
Interface
Routing path
Next hop
Route metric (cost)
Route timeout
35
Q

What is convergence

A

used to describe the condition when all routers have the same (or correct) routing information.

36
Q

What functionality do routers provide over bridges and switches?

A

Support multiple routing protocols for better flexibility.
Provide more features than switches or bridges, such as flow control, error detection, and congestion control.
Provide multiple links between devices to support load balancing.
Can connect different network architectures together. For example, a router can be used to connect an older Token Ring network to an Ethernet network.

37
Q

What layer of the OSI model is a Access Point on?

A

Layer 2

38
Q

What is a WLAN controller?

A

used to connect multiple APs through wired links

39
Q

What does a WLAN controller do?

A

Manages all of the APs that are connected to it. Configuration changes are made on the controller, then pushed out to all connected APs.
Usually provides DHCP services to dynamically assign IP addressing information to wireless clients.
Connects the wireless network to the internal wired network.
Routes wireless traffic from the wireless network to the internal wired network (and vice versa).

40
Q

What is a firewall?

A

a software-based or hardware-based network security system that allows or denies network traffic according to a set of rules.

41
Q

How do firewalls decide what traffic comes and goes through the network

A

By ACL- Access Control List

42
Q

What is a Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)

A

combines a traditional firewall with other network device filtering functionalities such as an application firewall.

43
Q

Name some the advantages a NGFW has

A

Is application-aware
Tracks the state of traffic based on layers 2 through 7
Utilizes an intrusion protection system (IPS)
Tracks the identity of the local traffic device and user ( LDAP, RADIUS, Active Directory)
Can be used in bridged and routed modes
Utilizes external intelligence sources
