Missed Flashcards
DSL
xfer data over voice grade tele lines; rj-11
cable modem
A cable modem is a device with RJ-45 ports that connect to the local network, while the coax port connects to the ISP network. Cable network based on the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) supports downlink speeds of up to 38 Mbps in North America.
voip pbx
core switch that controls all functions found in a voip system
voip gateway
means of translating between voip system and legacy voice equip. and networks
reverse proxy
Reverse proxies sit in front of servers and handle client requests before they reach the servers.
they act as intermediaries between clients and servers, receiving requests from clients and forwarding them to the appropriate servers.Clients are typically unaware of the presence of a reverse proxy. They send requests directly to the reverse proxy, which then forwards the requests to the backend servers on their behalf.
forward proxy
Forward proxies sit between clients and the internet and handle outbound requests from clients to external servers.
They act on behalf of clients, forwarding their requests to the appropriate internet servers and caching responses for improved performance.
voice gateway
A voice gateway is a means of translating between a VoIP system and legacy voice equipment and networks. This gateway can include an integrated VoIP PBX feature as well.
legacy pbx
A legacy Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system is based on the traditional telephone network and provides switch services for analog voice.
load balancer
A load balancer can switch traffic to alternative nodes, reduce bottlenecks, and allow for failover services. In this case, the network engineer redirects specific traffic to take advantage of available bandwidth.
RIP
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance vector routing protocol. RIP only considers the next hop router to reach a given network or subnet (vector).
ospf
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link state type of routing protocol ideal for hierarchical systems and networks. OSPF is suitable for organizations with multiple redundant paths between networks.
EIGRP (cisco)
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is a distance vector or hybrid routing protocol. It relies on neighboring routers to report paths to remote networks and uses a metric composed of administrator-weighted elements.
link state
A link state algorithm allows a router to store the complete network topology and assess the least-cost paths from the topology database.
Admin distance
Administrative distance (AD) is a metric used in routing protocols to determine the trustworthiness of routing information received from different sources. It is a numerical value assigned to each routing protocol or source, indicating its reliability or preference level
T1 Line
Line provided by telecomms service provider that connects to a demarc point.
