Lesson 13 Flashcards
Broadband cable
A method of connecting to the Internet. It uses the same cable used by cable TV and splits the TV and Internet signals. The computer is connected to a cable modem to provide Internet access.
Dial-up
A method of connecting to the Internet. Dial-up uses regular phone lines and an analog modem. The modem modulates and demodulates the signals. Dial-up is also a method used for remote access servers where the user dials the remote access server instead of using a VPN.
Digital subscriber line (DSL)
A method of connecting to the Internet in urban areas using digital signals over standard telephone lines. Users must be relatively close to the telephone company’s central office. The central office can be as far away as 2 miles, but some equipment requires users to be closer.
Ethernet
A group of technologies used to connect networks using media such as twisted-pair and fiber-optic connections. Ethernet is defined by IEEE 802.3.
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
A group of standards used for transmission of voice, data, and video and can be used as a WAN link. ISDN is commonly bundled as a BRI with two B channels and one D channel or as a PRI with 23 B channels and one D channel.
Leased line
A WAN link circuited contracted through a communications provider for an organization’s use. The organization pays to lease the line instead of running an independent cable between two offices.
Remote access
A technology used to allow remote users to access private networks using either dial-up or VPN remote access servers.
T1
A data transmission line used for WAN links in the United States. A T1 includes 24 DS0 channels for a total of 1.544 Mbps. It is connected with Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU) at each end. E1 lines are used in Europe, and they are 2.048 Mbps.
T3
A data transmission line used for WAN links similar to a T3. A T3 includes 28 DS1 channels for a total of 44.736 Mbps. E3 lines are used in Europe, and they are 34.368 Mbps.
Which of the following are valid tunneling protocols?
PPTP
SSTP

Which of the following T-carrier lines supports transmission speeds of up to 274.176 Mbps?
T4
Which of the following protocols uses an HTTP-over-SSL session between VPN clients and servers for exchanging encapsulated IPv4 or IPv6 packets?
SSTP
True or false. T1 and T3 lines are used in Europe.
False
What would you add to a Windows Server 2008 server to use it as a VPN server?
Routing and Remote Access Services
Which of the following connection methods requires the client to be close to the central office of a telephone company?
DSL
Which of the following systems provides a mechanism to load multiple voice and data channels into the digital line while connecting a T1 line to a LAN?
Multiplexer
