Q

Layer 5, Session Layer

A

adds information to packet that makes communication session possible between service or application on the source device with the same on the destination device

application or service in use is communicated with a port number

Q

Layer 4, Transport

A

establishes session between 2 physical systems

either connection-oriented (TCP) or connectionless (UDP)
UDP header is much smaller, fewer features than TCP.

UDP is low overhead, TCP is high overhead

the PDU here is called a segment

Q

Layer 2, Data Link

A

determines physical address for destination

Media Access Control (MAC)

PDU here is called a frame

Q

Cabling

Fiber Optic

A

core, cladding, outside jacket

17
Q

Collision Domains

A

any part of network where devices’ packets can collide

a switch provides unique collision domains for each port
every device on a hub is in same collision domain

18
Q

Contention Methods

CSMA/CD
CSMA/CA
Token Passing
Polling

A

CSMA/CD (wired ethernet)
(carrier sense multiple access collision detection). if a collision, message has everyone stop sending, then restart

CSMA/CA (collision avoidance) for wireless
devices tell each other when they’re getting ready to send

Token Passing (token ring)
devices can't send until they receive an empty token

Polling

19
Q

Network Protocols and Services

ARP

A

translates MAC to IP address

  1. send ARP request
  2. receive ARP reply
  3. adds to ARP cache
20
Q

Network Protocols and Services

DHCP

A
  1. client sends DHCP Discover packet
  2. server sends DHCP Offer packet
  3. client sends DHCP Request
  4. server sends DHCP Pack
21
Q

Routing Protocols

A
Standards
RIP
IS-IS
OSPF
BGP
VRRP

Proprietary (Cisco)
IGRP, EIGRP

22
Q

Network devices

Patch Panel
Multiplexer

A

Patch Panel - termination point for cables

23
Q

Network Devices

Hub

A

operates at layer 1

no intelligence

24
Q

Network Devices

Hub

Switch

A

Hub
operates at layer 1
no intelligence

Switch
intelligence. Has MAC address table

25
Q

Network Devices

Router
Gateway

A

Router - layer 3, routing table directs traffic

Gateway - any devices that performs a translation or acts as a control point for entry/exit

26
Q

Firewalls

Packet filtering
Stateful
Circuit Level Proxy
Application Level Proxy 
Dynamic Packet Filtering
Kernel Proxy
A

Packet filtering
Stateful
Circuit Level Proxy - proxy server. rules controls traffic

Application Level Proxy - operates at higher level of OSI model than circuit proxy.

Dynamic Packet Filtering - ability to open certain ports dynamical based on the connection iniated from inside network

Kernel Proxy - firewall that operates at kernel level

27
Q

Firewall Architectures

Dual Homed
Three Legged
Screened Subnet

A

Bastion Host - unprotected, has to be locked down

Dual Homed - 2 NICS, one on internet, one to LAN

Three Legged - 3 NICs, one on internet, one to DMZ, one to LAN

Screened Subnet - 2 firewalls, area between them is the screened subnet
