Q

What is a Cat 5 UTP?

A

A standard Ethernet cabling type is Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair which is commonly known as CAT 5 UTP. The connector on the end of a typical CAT 5 cable is a RJ-45 connector

Q

What is Crosstalk?

A

Crosstalk is caused by electromagnetic interference. Basically a signal crosses over from one pair of cables to another causing the signals to become unusable

16
Q

What is NEXT caused by?

A

Generally caused by crossed for crushed wires, the conductors inside the wires don’t have to be exposed, but if the conductors are to close the signal traveling on one wire can actually interfere with the signal on another wire. Then year-end refers to the end of the cable being tested.

17
Q

What is PSNEXT?

A

Power Sum Near End Crosstalk - refers to the calculation carried out when a NEXT test is run. When the NEXT results for each pair of wires is added, the result is the PSNEXT value.

18
Q

Why would you use a straight through cable?

A

To connect to dissimilar devices together

19
Q

Why would you use a Crossover cable?

A

To connect to similar devices together. (i.e. switch to switch)

20
Q

Why would you use a Rollover cable?

A

Console Access

21
Q

For a straight through cable, which pins are connected?

A

Pin 1 on one side is connected to Pin 1 on the other side, Pin 2 to Pin 2 and so on

22
Q

True or False - Two switches can be connected together with a Straight Through Cable

A

False - A crossover cable would be used to connect similar devices to be connected

23
Q

What is the Crossover Cable Pin Layout?

A

1-3
2-6
3-1
6-2

24
Q

What is the pin layout for a rollover cable?

A

1-8
2-7
3-6
4-5

25
Q

What are other names for a MAC Address?

A

Ethernet Address, NIC, Physical Address

26
Q

What does a switch use a MAC address used for?

A

The MAC address is used by switches to send frames to the proper destination.

27
Q

How many bits is a MAC Address?

A

48

28
Q

What are the two parts of a MAC Adress?

A

The first part (i.e. the AA-BB-CC in AA-BB-CC-11-22-33), is the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) The OUI is assigned to hardware vendors by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Each OUI is only assigned to one vendor.

29
Q

True or False - Vendors have only one OUI

A

False - Vendors can have many OUI’s

30
Q

What is the Broadcast MAC address?

A

All F’s - FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF

31
Q

What is the range of Multicast MAC addresses?

A

The first half of a multicast MAC address is always 0100.5e, the second half of a multicast MAC message will fall in the range of 00-00-00 through 7f-FF-FF - Make sure you watch that 7!!
