Networks CH2 Flashcards
The physical and logical arrangement of nodes and connections in a network
Network Topology
_________ Usually include devices such as switches, routers and software with switch and router features
Nodes
Network topologies are
often represented as a _______
Graph
A type of network in which each computer and network device is joined to a single cable
Bus Topology
When it consists of exactly two endpoints, then it is called ________ Bus topology.
Linear
A network topology where a central device connects to all other nodes through a
central hub.
Star Topology
Switched local area networks based on Ethernet switches and most wired home and office networks have this topology.
Star Topology
In this network topology the nodes are connected in a closed loop configuration.
Ring Topology
This network topology links nodes with connections so that multiple paths between at least some points of the network are available.
Mesh Topology
In Mesh Topology, a network is considered to be _________ if all nodes are directly connected to all other nodes
Fully Meshed
In Mesh Topology, if only some nodes have
multiple connections to others it is called ________
Partially Meshed
A network topology consists of one root node, and all other nodes are connected in a hierarchy. The topology itself is connected in a star configuration. Many larger Ethernet switch networks, including data center networks are configured this way
Tree Topology
A network topology that is any combination of two or more topologies, typically provide
exceptional flexibility, as they can accommodate a number of setups
Hybrid Topology
Formal rules and descriptions for how data is formatted and transmitted over a network. They are used for critical processes like internet access and file transfer
Network Protocols
A type of Network Protocol that handles the routing and addressing of data packets across networks. this addresses identify each device on a network
Internet Protocol (IP)
A type of Network Protocol ensures that data is transmitted reliably between devices, it also splits data into packets and works with IP
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
A type of Network Protocol prioritizes speed over reliability. it is used for real-time applications like video streaming
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
A type of Network Protocol that allows network administrators to monitor and manage network devices.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
A type of Network Protocol that is responsible for sending emails between computers.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
A type of Network Protocol Used to upload and download files between a server and a client.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
A type of Network Protocol that diagnoses communication issues between devices. it reports errors and determines if data has reached its destination
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
Is a protocol that allows web browsers to communicate with web servers to transfer data, such as HTML
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
A network protocol that encrypts data sent between a user’s device and a website.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure(HTTPS)
It encrypts data sent between a server and a client.
Secure Socket Layer(SSL)
it is use to protect internet communications, such as those between a browser and a website, or between two servers
Secure Socket Layer(SSL)
