Networking & Content Delivery Flashcards
1
Q
IP Addresses
A
IPv4 - 32 bit, four groups of numbers 0-255
IPv6 - 128 bit, 8 groups of numbers/letters
2
Q
CIDR
A
Classless Inter-Domain Routing
CIDR block is a range of IP addresses
- VPC Max IPv4 CIDR is /16 (65k addresses)
- VPC Min IPv4 CIDR is /28 (16 addresses)
- CIDR blocks can’t overlap
3
Q
OSI Model
A
Open Systems Interconnection Model
- Physical - raw bitstreams over physical medium - signals
- Data Link - data in same LAN network (hubs/switches) - MAC
- Network - routing and packet forwarding (routers) - IP
- Transport - host-to-host communications - TCP, UDP
- Session - orderly exchange of data - NetBIOS, RPC
- Presentation - ensures application layer can read / encryption - ASCI, ICA
- Application - application access to computer network - HTTP(s), FTP, DHCP, LDAP
4
Q
Amazon VPC
A
- Logically isolated of AWS cloud, other VPCs
- Dedicated to your AWS account
- Single AWS Region
- Provides Virtual Network dedicated to your AWS Account
5
Q
Subnets
A
- Range of IP addresses that divide a VPC
- Single AZ
- Public or Private
6
Q
Reserved IP Addresses
A
- 0.0.0 - Network Address
- 0.0.1 - Internal Communication
- 0.0.2 - Domain Name System (DNS) Resolution
- 0.0.3 - Future Use
- 0.0.255 - Network broadcast address
7
Q
Public IP Address Types
A
Public IPv4: manually assigned through elastic IP address
automatically assigned through subnet settings
Elastic IP Address: associated to an AWS account, allotted/remapped anytime, additional costs
8
Q
Elastic Network Interface
A
- virtual network interface that you can attach or detach from an instance
- Attributes follow when attached to new instance
- each VPC has default network interface
9
Q
Route Tables
A
- Configurable rules to direct network traffic from subnet
- route is destination and target
- default local route within vpc
- each subnet must have a route table
10
Q
Make Subnet Public
A
- Attach an internet gateway
- add route entry into route table
11
Q
NAT Gateway
A
Network Address Translation
- Enable instances in private subnet to connect to internet or other AWS services
- Prevents public internet from initiating connection with instances
- Needs elastic IP
12
Q
VPC Peering
A
- enables privately route traffic between two VPC
- As if they are on the same network
- Could be in different account or region
- Only two VPCs
- IP spaces cannot overlapd
13
Q
VPC Sharing
A
- Enables multiple AWS accounts to share subnets
- Same organization
14
Q
AWS Site-to-Site VPN
A
15
Q
AWS Direct Connect
A
- Intended to address network performance
- data center far from region
- dedicated connection between aws DC location
- Virtual LAN
