A

FTP control.

41
Q

What is port 23 used for?

A

TCP / Telnet..

42
Q

What is tcp port 25 used for?

43
Q

What is TCP port 110 used for?

44
Q

What is TCP port 143 used for?

45
Q

What are TCP UDP ports 137 and 138 for?

46
Q

What does the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) do?

A

It translates IP addresses to MAC addresses

47
Q

What protocol does trace route use?

48
Q

What is the DHCP server used for?

A

The assignment of IP addresses.

49
Q

What is cross talk with ethernet cables?

A

When the signal crosses from one cable to another.

50
Q

What does Attenuation mean?

A

The signal getting weaker the farther it travels.

51
Q

What does twisting cables do?

A

It makes them less susceptible of of EMI

52
Q

What are key characteristics of shielded twisted pair?

A

Has metal shielding around each of the 4 pair of cables.

53
Q

What is the difference between RJ45 and RJ11?

A

RJ11 is the connector for you phone and RJ45 is the connector for your internet cables at home and in the office.

54
Q

What is a pro of using fiber cables?

55
Q

What are the cons of using fiber cables?

A

Price. They are more difficult to use.

56
Q

What is single mode fiber?

A

A single strand of fiber used for long distance cables.

57
Q

What is Multi-Mode fiber?

A

Uses multiple modes to carry multiple data streams simultaneously.

58
Q

What is a Bus network topology?

A

It is a chain of nodes. The downside is if one breaks the chain stops working. single point of failure.

59
Q

What is a tree network topology?

A

The base of the tree topology controls the traffic. If any node fails, the tree stops working. Single point of failure.

60
Q

What is a ring network topology?

A

If a node breaks it can traverse the opposite way to the destination. Requires every node to have two NICs

61
Q

What is a star network topology?

A

What we use today. Think of a central node that connects all nodes together. An ethernet switch is an example of this.

62
Q

What is the definition of partial mesh?

A

Some nodes are directly connected to other nodes, but not all of them.

63
Q

What is the definition of full mesh?

A

All nodes are connected to all other nodes. used for HA

64
Q

What is a rogue access point?

A

An unauthorized access point that was added to the network.

65
Q

What is an evil twin attack?

A

A rogue access point with the same name as a real access points.

66
Q

Is Bluetooth secure?

A

No.. It assumes a 48bit mac address.

67
Q

What is a bluejacking attack?

A

Sending unsolicited messages over bluetooth

68
Q

what is a bluesnarfing attack?

A

Unauthorized access of information from a bluetooth device.

69
Q

What is a Bluebugging attack?

A

The attacker gains total access and control of your device.

70
Q

What is a Zigbee network?

A

A mesh network with low power, low data rates, and close proximity.

71
Q

What has a higher COVERAGE area, 3G or 5G?

A

3G, but it is slower

72
Q

What is a VLAN?

A

A broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated at layer 2.

73
Q

What are VLAN Trunks?

A

Ports connecting to switches to span VLANs across them.

74
Q

What is a VXLAN?

A

Used for organizations that have mass tenants. Think AWS.

75
Q

What is the point of using a router?

A

What we use to connect our local network to the WAN

76
Q

What is third party connectivity?

A

A 3rd party app that somehow integrates with your systems. Think SolarWinds.
