Networking Fundamentals - Objective 1 Flashcards
OSI model, Network topologies & types, cables & connectors, IP addressing, protocols & ports, network services, corporate & datacenter architecture, cloud
FDDI
A fiber ring topology that uses two counter-rotating rings for redundancy [on the N10-008 “ring” always means FDDI ring]
Formula for calculating the number of connections in a full-mesh network topology
x=n(n-1)/2
Multiplexing
Simultaneous use of baseband connection by more than one device
In which OSI layer do WAPs operate?
Layer 1
In which OSI layer do media converters operate?
Layer 1
In which OSI layers do NICs operate?
Layers 2 & 1
In which OSI layer do bridges operate?
Layer 2
3 things handled by the MAC sublayer
- creating& addressing frames
- checking the FCS
- sending data to layer 1
3 things handled by the logical link control sublayer
- communication with the OS via drivers
- network protocols
- flow control
H.323
Used to set up, maintain, & tear down a voice/video connection
What protocol does H.323 & H.264 operate under?
RTP Real Time Protocol
2 main functions of OSI layer 6
- data formatting
- encryption
2 main functions of OSI layer 7
- Application services e.g. file transfer
- Service advertisment
RST flag
Reset flag
Used when a client or server receives a packet that it was not expecting during the current connection
PSH flag
Push flag
Used to ensure that the data is given priority & is processed at the sending or receiving ends
URG flag
The urgent flag
Indicates data of the highest priority which should be immediately processed
EtherType Field
Indicates which protocol is encapsulated in the payload of the frame
What does the OSI application layer refer to?
The code (API) built into all operating systems that enables network-aware applications
