Module 4 - Networking Flashcards
A group of IEEE standards that define how to transfer data over wireless networks.
802.11
An IEEE standard designed to enhance security of wireless networks by authenticating a user to a central authority.
802.1x
The network portion of an IPv6 address.
address prefix
A set of static IP configuration information that is used instead of APIPA when a computer is unable to contact a DHCP server.
alternate IP configuration
A system used to automatically assign an IP address on the 169.254.x.x network to a computer that is unable to communicate with a DHCP server.
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)
A signaling mechanism used by two network connected devices to choose common transmission parameters such as speed and flow control.
autonegotiation
An address that indicates that the destination for a particular packet should be all available computers.
broadcast address
A notation technique that summarizes the number of binary bits in an IP address that identify the network an IP address belongs to, counted starting from the left side of the IP address as written in binary form. The number of bits is written at the end of the IP address with a slash (/) symbol separating the two values (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24 or FE80::/64).
classless interdomain routing (CIDR)
A _______ allows you to communicate with a particular service running on a remote computer.
client
The client that allows Windows 10 to access files and printers shared on other Windows computers by using the SMB protocol.
Client for Microsoft Networks
A router on the local network that is used to deliver packets to remote networks.
default gateway
A system for converting computer host names to IP addresses.
Domain Name System (DNS)
The location type that is used when a computer joined to a domain is on the _______________, for example, a corporate office.
domain network
An automated mechanism to assign IP addresses and IP configuration information over the network.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
An embedded, nonremovable SIM in a device.
eSIM
The service that allows Windows 10 to share files and printers by using the SMB protocol.
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
The full name of a host on the network, including its host and domain name. For example, the ______ www.microsoft.com includes the host name www and the domain name microsoft.com.
fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
A command-line utility that can be used to identify the name of the computer.
hostname
A standard for public-access Wi-Fi.
Hotspot 2.0
A professional society that promotes and nurtures the development of standards used in the application of electronic technology.
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
A Windows 10 feature that allows multiple computers to share an Internet connection by performing NAT.
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
The standard protocol used on corporate networks and the Internet.
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
An updated version of TCP/IPv4 with a much larger address space.
Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
The unique address used by computers on an IPv4 or IPv6 network. An IPv4 address is commonly displayed in dotted decimal notation, for example, 10.10.0.50.
IP address
A command-line utility that can be used to display and manage IP address settings for network interfaces on a computer.
ipconfig
A protocol that is used to secure and authenticate an IPv4 connection.
IPSec
An Internet Service Provider supplies services for connecting to, and using, the Internet.
ISP
A protocol that defines methods for name resolution of local neighboring computers without using DNS, WINS, or NetBIOS name resolution services. _______ can operate on IPv4 and IPv6 networks with the use of specially crafted multicast addresses to query client names on other computers.
Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR)
The type of network: public, private, or domain. Different configuration settings are applied based on the ______________.
location type
The IPv4 address 127.0.0.1 or IPv6 address ::1, which are used to represent the local computer itself on the network. Traffic sent to the loopback address does not get passed over an actual network; it is processed within the operating system without using an actual network connection.
loopback address
