LP 2 Flashcards
The term refers to any physical medium consisting of cables.
wired
It serves as a point of connectivity, without any
additional capabilities.
passive hub
Allows devices to stay connected to the network but roam untethered to any wires.
wireless network
One advantage requires extra costs and equipment to set up.
Disadvantages of wireless network
Switches offer more functionality and features for IT professionals and are the type most likely seen in business or enterprise settings.
Managed
a device that operates at the Data Link layer of
the OSI model—Layer 2.
network switch
is a backup router used in a VRRP setup.
