20
Q

A technology that enables two or more computers to act as a single system to provide improved fault tolerance, load balancing, and failover capability.

A

clustering

21
Q 
Specifies an alias or nickname for a
canonical hostname record in a
domain name system (DNS) database.
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  records are used to
give a single computer multiple
names (aliases).
A

CNAME (canonical name)

22
Q 
A data cable, that is
made of a solid copper core insulated
and surrounded by braided metal
and covered with a thick plastic or
rubber covering. It is the standard
cable used in cable television
and in older bus topology networks.
A

coaxial cable

23
Q 
A disaster recovery site
that provides office space, but the
customer provides and installs all
the equipment needed to continue
operations.
A

cold site

24
Q

A redundant piece of hardware stored in case a component should fail. Typically used for server systems.

A

cold spare

25
Q

The result of two frames
simultaneously transmitting on an
Ethernet network and colliding,
thereby destroying both frames.

A

collision

26
Q 
A segment of an Ethernet network between managing nodes, where only one packet
can be transmitted at a time.
Switches, bridges, and routers can
be used to segment a network into
separate\_\_\_  \_\_\_\_.
A

collision domain

27
Q 
An LED on networking
equipment that flashes to
indicate a collision on the network.
A \_\_\_\_  \_\_\_\_can be used to
determine whether the network is
experiencing many collisions.
A

collision light

28
Q

The transfer of information between nodes on a network.

A

communication

29
Q

A device that combines several communications channels into one. It is often used to combine multiple terminals into one line.

Q

The linking of nodes
on a network for communication to
take place.

A

33
Q

When a change in
the network routing is made, it takes some time for the routers to detect
and accommodate this change; this
is known as _______.

A

convergence

34
Q

Normally, a backup of the entire hard drive. A ____ ____ is similar to a full backup, except that the copy backup does not alter the state of the archive bits on files.

A

copy backup

35
Q 
A value used to encourage or
discourage the use of a certain route
through a network. Routes that are
to be discouraged are assigned a
higher one, and those that are to be
encouraged are assigned a lower
one.
A

cost

36
Q

to a system to which he or she is not
authorized.

A

cracker

authentication mechanism.

A

CRAM-MD5

39
Q

determine whether the entire content
of the packet has been correctly
transferred.
A

CRC (cyclical redundancy check)

40
Q

A tool used to join connectors
to the ends of network
cables.

A

crimper

41
Q

A cable that can
be used to directly connect two
devices—such as two computer systems—
or as a means to expand networks
that use devices such as hubs
or switches. A traditional ____ ____ is a UTP cable in which the wires are crossed for the purposes of placing the transmit line of one
device on the receive line of the other. A T1 crossover is used to connect two T1 CSU/DSU devices in a back-to-back configuration.

A

crossover cable

42
Q

Electronic interference
caused when two wires are too close
to each other, and the adjacent cable
creates interference.

A

crosstalk

43
Q

A contention media access method that

uses collision-avoidance techniques.

A

CSMA/CA (carrier sense multiple

access with collision avoidance)

44
Q

A contention media access method
that uses collision-detection and
retransmission techniques.

A

CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple

access with collision detection)

45
Q 
Acts as a translator between the LAN data
format and the WAN data format.
Such a conversion is necessary
because the technologies used on
WAN links are different from those
used on LANs.
A

CSU/DSU (Channel Service

Unit/Data Service Unit)

46
Q 
A switching method that does not
copy the entire packet into the
switch buffers. Instead, the destination
address is captured into the
switch, the route to the destination
node is determined, and the packet
is quickly sent out the corresponding corresponding port. \_\_\_  \_\_\_  \_\_\_
switching maintains a low latency.
A

cut-through packet switching
