Network Models Flashcards
What is the 7 layer OSI model?
Open Systems Interconnection, model is a conceptual framework that divides network communications functions into seven layers that explains how a network works.
What are the 7 layers of the OSI model?
PDNTSPA
- Physical
- Data Link
- Network
- Transport
- Session
- Presentation
- Application
What is the Physical layer of the OSI model?
1st layer, Cabling, network card, getting 1’s and 0’s from one machine to another.
What is the Data Link layer of the OSI model?
2nd Layer, Mac Addresses / for NICs and Switches
What is the Network layer of the OSI model?
3rd Layer, Logical addresses, TCP/IP and Routers, packets are created
What is the Transport layer of the OSI model?
4th Layer, assembles and disassembles data 1500 bytes maximum, sequencing, segments
What is the Session Layer of the OSI Model?
5th layer, makes the actual connection to the remote host or other computers, uses Port numbers
What is the Presentation Layer of the OSI Model?
6th layer, makes sure that the Data gets to the application, not really important anymore.
What is the Application Layer of the OSI Model?
7th Layer, API or Application Program Interface, smart application
How is Data transferred from one device to another?
Frames or Packets in chunks of 1’s and 0’s
What is the cornerstone of Networking?
Packetized Data
Frames are created and destroyed in what hardware device?
Network Card (NIC)
Each hexadecimal character has?
4 binary characters ex: ( 40-8d-5c-1c-5a-50 ) = 12x4=48 Bit address
1st 3 - Hexadecimals ( 40-8d-5c ) are known as:
OEM identifier
Last 3 - Hexadecimals ( 1c-5a-50 )
Unique identifier
CRC stands for what?
Cyclic Redundancy Check ( verifies data is good )
All “F’s” address ( FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF ) is a :
Broadcast domain ( sends to all machines on the network )
Domain that know a one specific mac address is:
Unicast domain ( Only sends to one Single Machine )
