power.

A

blackout

18

RF technology designed to replace
many of the cords used to connect
devices. It uses 2.4GHz RF
and provides transmission speeds up
to 24Mbps.
A

Bluetooth

Q 
A family of connectors
typically associated with thin coaxial
cabling and 10Base2 networks. \_\_\_
connectors use a twist-and-lock
mechanism to connect devices to
the network.
A

BNC (Bayonet Neill Concelman)

20
Q 
\_\_\_\_\_\_ is a TCP/IP protocol
used by a network device to
obtain an IP address and other network
information such as server
address and default gateway.
A

BOOTP

21
Q

Describes any medium that has physical constraints, such as coaxial, fiber-optic,
and twisted pair. Compare with
unbound medium.

A

bound medium

22
Q 
Identifies the status of ports and
bridges across the network. \_\_\_\_
are simple data messages exchanged
between switches. They contain
information on ports and provide
the status of those ports to other
switches.
A

BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit)

23
Q 
An ISDN digital communications line
that consists of three independent
channels: two B channels each at
64Kbps and one D channel at
16Kbps. \_\_\_\_  \_\_\_\_is often referred
to as 2B+D.
A

BRI (Basic Rate Interface)

24
Q 
A device that connects and
passes packets between two network
segments that use the same communications
protocol. \_\_\_\_ operate
at the data link layer of the OSI
model; filters, forwards, or
floods an incoming frame based on
the packet’s MAC address.
A

bridge

25
Q

A list of MAC addresses that a bridge keeps
and uses when it receives packets.
The bridge uses the ____ ____ ____ to determine which segment
the destination address is on before it
sends the packet to the next interface
or drops the packet (if it is on the
same segment as the sending node).

A

bridging address table

26
Q

A communications strategy that uses analog or digital signaling over multiple communications
channels.

A

broadband

27
Q

A packet-delivery system
in which a copy of a packet is
transmitted to all hosts attached to
the network.

A

broadcast

28
Q

An undesirable condition in which broadcasts become so numerous that they bog down the
flow of data across the network.

A

broadcast storm

29
Q 
A device that you can use
to combine the benefits of both
routers and bridges. Its common
usage is to route routable protocols
at the network layer of the OSI
model and to bridge nonroutable
protocols at the data link layer.
A

brouter

30
Q

A short-term decrease in
the voltage level, usually caused by
the startup demands of other electrical
devices.

A

buffer

33
Q

A linear LAN architecture in which all devices connect to a common cable, called a bus or
backbone.

A

bus topology

34
Q 
The \_\_\_\_  \_\_\_\_ is typically
associated with telephony systems. It
is used to test and access the phone
line using clip wires that attach to
the phone cable.
