terms to know 3 Flashcards
mGRE
Multipoint generic routing
encapsulation (mGRE)
gre is one device to one device.
mgre is one device hq for example to multiple devices or branches for example
Smartjack
provide signal conversion, converting codes and protocols (e.g. framing types) to the type needed by the customer equipment.
Loopback capabilities
(NFV)
network function virtualization
metro-optical
Combine the power of Ethernet and fiber technologies across a metro-/wide-area network
Twinaxial
like a coax cable that has just the one pin in the middle but instead it has 2
used in data centers
f type connector
the thing that the coaxial cable screws into
sfp
used to provide 1gb/s fiber connections or 1 gb/s rj45 connections
Max speed 4.25/gbs
sfp+
same as sfp but it uses 16gb/s. common with 10gb ethernet.
qsfp
four sfp into one each 1gb/s
qsfp+
four sfp+ into one each 10gb/s so 40gb/s
CWDM
Coarse wavelength division multiplexing
four different carriers at four different wavelengths
DWDM
Link aggregation for Fiber Networks. but keeps wavelength separate at the endpoint
Dense wavelength division multiplexing
mutliplex multiple opctical cable carriers into a single fiber
loopback address
address to yourself
range is 127.0.0.1 for ipv4
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or ::1 for ipv6
default gateway
router that allows you to communicate outside of your local subnet
