Terms Flashcards
To memorize definitions of terms.
A network protocol and software program used to access remote computers and terminals over the internet.
Telnet
Layer 7 of OSI Model. Network processes to applications. Provides access for users.
Application Layer
Layer 6 of OSI Model. Ensures data is readable by receiving systems. Data representation/Syntax.
Presentation Layer
Layer 5 of OSI Model. Inter-host communication. Examples include Net-bios, PPTP.
Session Layer
Layer 4 of OSI Model. End to end connections. Message segmentation. Handles transportation issues between host. Examples: TCP/IP and UDP.
Transport Layer
Layer 3 of OSI Model. Data Delivery. Switches. Selects the best path to deliver data. OSPF, BGP, IS-IS. IP addresses.
Network Layer
Layer 2 of OSI Model. Access to media. Defines how data is formatted for transmission and how access to the network is controlled. Ethernet. Mac Address.
Datalink Layer
Layer 1 of OSI Model. Binary Transmission. All 1’s and 0’s Bits level.
Physical Layer
The language a computer uses to access the internet. A transport layer protocol that is used to create connection between remote computers by transporting and ensuring the delivery of messages over supporting networks and the Internet. One of the most used protocols.
TCP/IP
An addressing device that acts as a hardware identifier.
MAC address
A cryptographic protocol and interface for executing network services, shell services, and secure network communication with a remote computer.
SSH (secure shell)
Part of the Internet Protocol suite used by programs running on different computers on a network. It is used to send short messages called datagrams but overall is unreliable and connectionless.
UDP
has a Binary range of 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 Network address is its first 8 bits. Starts with Binary 0.
Class A
has a Binary range of 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255 Network address is first 8 bits. Starts with Binary 1 0
Class B
has a Binary range 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255 Network address is first 24 bits. Starts with Binary 1 1 0
Class C
multicast with a Binary range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 Starts with a Binary 1 1 1 0
Class D
has a binary range of 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 Starts with Binary 1 1 1 1. Is reserved for broadcasts.
Class E
a connectionless protocol used in packet-switched layer networks, such as Ethernet. It provides the logical connection between network devices by providing identification for each device.
IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4)
an Internet Protocol (IP) used for carrying data in packets from a source to a destination over various networks. Is the enhanced version of IPv4 and can support very large numbers of nodes as compared to IPv4. It allows for 2128 possible node, or address, combinations.
IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6)
host sends data to all devices on a specific network. Binary 1’s in the entire host partition of the address. 172.31.255.255
Directed Broadcast Address
used to let a system send a message to itself for testing. This is very useful to make sure that the TCP/IP stack is correctly installed on a machine.
Local Loopback Address
a way to forward traffic between different VLAN by implementing a router in the network.
interVLAN Routing
a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured to communicate as if they were attached to the same wire.
VLAN
Command line mode that has the least amount of commands available and does not need authentication. Notated by a > symbol - Router>
User Mode
Command line mode that allows you to use many show commands, debugging, and is required to configure the device. Notated by a # symbol - Router#
Enable/Privilege Mode
Command line mode that allows you to change global parameters of the configuration of the device including hostname and banner motd(message of the day). Notated by a (config)# - Router(config)#
conf t
Global Configuration Mode
