Q

star topology

A

HUB or switch in middle and all devices connected to it. Device sends signal to HUB. once it receives a signal/packet in a port, it will distribute it to all other ports on the network. not very efficient. Physically a star but logically a bus

a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in communications within a network segment

29
Q

Layers of OSI model

A 
7 - Application
6 - Presentation
5 - Session
4 - Transport
3 - Network
2 - Data Link
1 - Physical
30
Q

Data unit for physical layer

31
Q

Data unit for data link layer

32
Q

Data unit for network layer

33
Q

Data unit for transport layer

34
Q

TCP/IP stack layers

A

Application
Transport
Internet
Network interface

35
Q

What layers do the Network interface layer of the TCP/IP stack correspond to in the OSI model?

A

Data link & physical

36
Q

What layers does the application layer of the TCP/IP stack correspond to in the OSI model?

A

Application
presentation
session

37
Q

Physical layer purpose

A

This is how bits are represented on the medium. Controls bit rate control & synchronization, bandwidth usage, etc.

38
Q

Physical layer components

A

Cat 6, Cat 7, RJ-45 standards, physical topologies, broadband or baseband, multiplexing (TDM/FDM)

39
Q

Data link layer purpose

A

Responsible for node-to-node delivery of the message and makes sure data transfer is error-free from one node to another, over the physical layer. Connection services, flow control, error control, synchronization, physical addressing, & framing.

40
Q

Data link layer components

A

Media access control(MAC), logic link control(LLC)

41
Q

network layer purpose

A

Transmits data from one host to the other located in different networks. Also does routing. Involves logical addressing, switching, route discovery & selection, connection services.

42
Q

network layer components

A

IP addressing, packet/circuit/message switching, routing protocols

43
Q

transport layer purpose

A

TCP/UDP. Flow control(windowing, buffering), error control. Provides services to app layer and takes services from network layer. Represents end-to-end delivery of entire message.

44
Q

Session layer purpose

A

setting up & maintaining & tearing down a session. Also authentication & security, synchronization & dialog controller.

45
Q

presentation layer purpose

A

aka translation layer. Data formatting(ASCII), encryption, data compression.

46
Q

App layer purpose

A

HTTP, FTP, SMTP. Produces data which has to be transferred over the network. Functions = virtual network terminal, mail services, file transfer. directory services.

47
Q

3 types of IP address & what they do

A

unicast - single source device to single destination device.
Broadcast - single source to all devices on network
Multicast - single source to multiple, but specific, devices on a network

48
Q

Class A IP address starting digit & range of first octet

A

first bit = 0

range: 0-127

49
Q

Class B IP address starting digits & range of first octet

A

first bit = 10

range: 128-191

50
Q

Class C IP address starting digits & range of first octet

A

first bit = 110

range: 192-223

51
Q

Class D IP address starting digits & range of first octet

A

first bit = 1110
range: 224-239
reserved for multicasting

52
Q

Class E IP address starting digits & range of first octet

A

first bit = 1111
range: 240-255
reserved for future use

53
Q

Structure of IPV6 address

A

ABCD:0123:4040:0000:0000:0000:000A:000B

Written in hex separated by colons

54
Q

IPV6 abbreviations

A

Leading 0’s can be omitted, contiguous groups of 0’s can be represented as double colon.
ABCD:123:4040::A:B

55
Q

IPV6 network address range

A

First 48 bits are for internet routing

56
Q

IPV6 subnet range

A

16 bits from the 49th to 64th

57
Q

Device (interface) range

A

last 64 bits

58
Q

Regional internet registry(RIR)

A

Guidelines for assigning IPV6 addresses to countries. Minimum of 12 prefix bits.

59
Q

IPV6 anycast

A

Traffic travels for a single source device to the nearest of multiple, but specific, devices on a network

60
Q

APIPA

A

Automatic Private IP Addressing. Used when a device does not have a static IP address and/or cannot contact a DHCP server. Allows a network device to assign itself an IP address.

61
Q

Default Gateway

A

A router that knows how to forward packets on to other networks.

62
Q

BOOTP

A

Older dynamic addressing protocol. Assigned only IP, subnet mask, & default gateway.

63
Q

DHCP

A

Based on BOOTP. Assigns IP, subnet mask, & default gateway. Assigns DNS server & other variables related to VoIP

64
Q

DHCP 4-way handshake

A

Client/server.
