Answer 10

access point

Question 11

In security, the recording of access attempts.

Answer 11

accounting

Question 12

In both IPv4 and IPv6, a set of consecutive addresses. This term is typically used for public addresses, assigned by some numbering authority (IANA/ ICANN, an RIR, or an ISP).

Answer 12

address block

Question 13

The general topic of how on one computer, two adjacent layers in a networking architectural model work together, with the lower layer providing services to the higher layer.

Answer 13

adjacent-layer interaction

Question 14

In Cisco routers, a means for one router to choose between multiple routes to reach the same subnet when those routes were learned by different routing protocols. The lower the _____, the better the source of the routing information.

Answer 14

administrative distance

Question 15

One of many DSL technologies, ______ is designed to deliver more bandwidth downstream (from the central office to the customer site) than upstream.

Answer 15

ADSL

Question 16

A specific IPv6 multicast address, FF02:: 1, with link-local scope, used to send packets to all devices on the link that support IPv6.

Answer 16

All-routers multicast address

Question 17

The term used by Cisco to refer to a variety of security tools that help prevent various attacks, including antivirus, antiphishing, and antispam.

Answer 17

Anti-X

Question 18

A router using OSPF in which the router has interfaces in multiple OSPF areas.

Answer 18

Area Border Router (ABR)

Question 19

An Internet protocol used to map an IP address to a MAC address. Defined in RFC 826.

Answer 19

ARP

Question 20

A list of IP addresses of neighbors on the same VLAN, along with their MAC addresses, as kept in memory by hosts and routers.

Answer 20

ARP table

Question 21

The first packet-switched network, first created around 1970, which served as the predecessor to the Internet.

Answer 21

ARPANET

Question 22

A feature of many Internet access technologies, including DSL, cable, and modems, in which the downstream transmission rate is higher than the upstream transmission rate.

Answer 22

asymmetric

Question 23

The lack of an imposed time ordering on a bit stream. Practically, both sides agree to the same speed, but there is no check or adjustment of the rates if they are slightly different. However, because only 1 byte per transfer is sent, slight differences in clock speed are not an issue.

Answer 23

asynchronous

Question 24

The international standard for cell relay in which multiple service types (such as voice, video, and data) are conveyed in fixed-length (53-byte) cells. Fixed-length cells allow cell processing to occur in hardware, thereby reducing transit delays.

Answer 24

ATM

Question 25

In security, the verification of the identity of a person or a process.

Answer 25

authentication

Question 26

In security, the determination of the rights allowed for a particular user or device.

Answer 26

authorization

Question 27

An IEEE standard mechanism (802.3u) with which two nodes can exchange messages for the purpose of choosing to use the same Ethernet standards on both ends of the link, ensuring that the link functions and functions well.

Answer 27

autonegotiation

Question 28

An internetwork in the administrative control of one organization, company, or governmental agency, inside which that organization typically runs an interior gateway protocol (IGP).

Answer 28

autonomous system
