Q

Hubs…

A

Take a group of nodes and allow the network to see them as a single unit; only one station could transmit at a time (half-duplex communication)

Q

Switches…

A

only send frame only to its proper destination port (if it’s known) = full-duplex communication

Q

Detecting collisions on devices

A

all devices can detect an increase in the amplitude of the signal above the normal level causing a JAM SIGNAL

14
Q

Response to JAM signal

A

invokes a backoff algorithm to all devices to stop transmitting for a random amount of time, allowing collisions to subside

16
Q

Asynchronous communication

A

Ethernet with speeds of 10 Mbps and slower; required timing info to synchronize the receive circuit to the incoming data and then discard the 8 bytes.

17
Q

Synchronous communication

A

timing info not required

18
Q

In order for CSMA/CD to operate….

A

the sending device must become aware of a collision before it has completed transmission of a minimum-sized frame

19
Q

Slot time

A

longer than the theoretical amount of time required to travel between the furthest points of the collision domain, collide with another transmission at the last possible instant, and then have the collision fragments return to the sending station and be detected

20
Q

most commonly observed data for a jam signal is..

A

a repeating 1, 0, 1, 0 pattern, the same as the Preamble

21
Q

Four data rates currently defined for operation over optical fiber and TP:

A

10BASE5, 10BASE2, 10BASE-T (using cat3/cat5 UTP), 100Mbps - Fast Ethernet

22
Q

Transmission pairs of UTP

A 
1,2 = transmitting
3,6 = receiving
23
Q

1000BASE-T characteristics

A

Provides full-duplex transmission using all four pairs in Category 5 or later UTP cable

24
Q

Latency

A

time it takes a signal to reach all destinations on the media. Increasing the length of the media increases latency

25
Q

Collision domain

A

any part of the network where packets from two or more nodes can interfere with each other

26
Q

Switch increases throughput of network by…

A

A dedicated bandwidth to each port
Collision-free environment
Full-duplex operation

27
Q

Ethernet LAN switch five basic functions:

A

Learning: Switch examines source MAC address
Aging: MAC entries are timestamped
Flooding: floods all ports if destination MAC address is unknown
Selective Forwarding
Filtering: does not forward a frame to the same port in which it arrived

28
Q

ARP protocol

A

Resolves IPv4 addresses to MAC addresses

Maintains a cache of mappings

29
Q

ARP process

A
  1. When ARP receives a request to map an IPv4 address to a MAC address. it looks for the cached ARP address in its table.
  2. It sends a broadcast (ARP request) to discover the MAC address of the destination device on the local network
30
Q

Proxy ARP

A

useful for when a host might send an ARP request seeking to map an IPv4 address outside of the range of the local network

ARP cache of requesting device will contain the MAC address associated with the IPv4 address of the gateway.

31
Q

ARP spoofing

A

A technique used by an attacker to inject the wrong MAC address association into a network by issuing fake ARP requests.
