Module 2: Online Connections Flashcards

1
Q

what is a

peripheral

on a network and what are 3 examples

A

These are devices that are not directly connected to the LAN but instead rely on the host they are connected to in order to send and receive data, these will not have their own ip address on the network.

Some examples are

  1. Cameras
  2. Scanners
  3. Locally attached printers

Q

what is a

network device

on a network and what are 3 examples

A

These are devices that connect with hosts or other network devices. These will be concerned with the movement and control of network traffic.

Some examples include:

  1. Hub
  2. Switch
  3. Router

Q

describe what

dynamic IP configuration

is and in 2 steps how it is acheived

A

With this type of configuration all the IP settings can be obtained automatically without any user intervention. Typically

  1. an end device will ask a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for an IP address
  2. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server selects an IP address from a pool of available IP addresses and sends it to the end device with any other IP settings it may need

Q

With this type of configuration the IP settings will be manually typed into the device.

This type of configuration is usually used when we want a device to have an unchanging address so that we always know where to find it, such as a server or a printer

note

The IP address must be unique on the network.
