Q

preamble

A

a 7-byte series of alternating ones and zeroes followed by a 1-byte start frame
delimiter, always precedes a frame. The preamble gives a receiving NIC time to realize a
frame is coming and to know exactly where the frame starts. The preamble is added by
the sending NIC.

Q

EXAM TIP Adding another hub or two to an early Ethernet network
enabled you to add more devices, but also compounded the problem with
collisions. In such a scenario, you could connect networks using a bridge.
A bridge acted like a repeater to connect two networks, but then went a
step further—filtering and forwarding traffic between those segments
based on the MAC addresses of the computers on those segments. This
placement between two segments preserved bandwidth, making larger
Ethernet networks possible. You’ll see the term “bridge” applied to modern
devices, primarily in wireless networking. The interconnectedness of
network segments is similar, but the devices are fundamentally different.
See Chapter 14 for the scoop on wireless.

Q

EXAM TIP One classic difference between a hub and a switch is in the
repeating of frames during normal use. Although it’s true that switches
initially forward all frames, they filter by MAC address in regular use. Hubs
never learned and always forwarded all frames.

Q

what happens when 2 computers connect too a switch at the same time?

A

Each port on a switch is in its own collision domain, plus the switch can buffer incoming frames. That means that two nodes connected to the switch can send data at the same
time and the switch will handle it without any collision.

41
Q

PPP

A

Point to Point Protocoal

42
Q

RRAS

A

Routing and Remote access server

43
Q

how to set up a virual connection

A

On the Windows client side, you run Add a VPN connection in Settings in the Control Panel. (With older versions of Windows, you’d run the Create a new connection
option in the Network and Sharing Center applet.) This creates a virtual NIC that, like
any other NIC, does a DHCP query and gets an IP address from the DHCP server on
the private network (Figure 11-5)

44
Q

When your computer connects to the RRAS server on the private network, PPTP
creates a secure tunnel through the Internet to the private LAN

managed switching

A

have programming and logic to handle switching security and more

58
Q

3 ways to connect to a mangaed switch

A

Directly plug into a serial interface and use a virtual terminal program to connect
to a command-line interface.
* Get the switch on the network and then use a virtual terminal over SSH to
connect to the same command-line interface.
* Get the switch on the network and use the switch’s built-in Web interface

59
Q

how to connect to a manged switch

A

First, many managed switches have a special serial port called a console port. Plug a laptop into the console port on the back of the switch (Figure 11-7). Then, run a terminal
program like PuTTY to access the command-line interface on the switch. As long as you
speak the language of the switch’s command prompt, you’re good to go. It’s very common
to use a console port for initial configuration of a new managed switch.
The second and third methods require the managed switch to be connected to the
network and have an accessible IP address. Connect to the switch over the network and
run some sort of software—either PuTTY or a Web browser—to manage the switch.

60
Q

A managed switch enables you to configure every port on the switch
in a lot of different ways, depending on the purpose and complexity of the
switch. For example, it’s easy to set the speed and duplexing of a port to
match the client.

A
61
Q

You configure a default gateway on a switch by telling the
switch the IP address of the router. For most implementations, type in the
IP address of your Internet connection box, such as a fiber-optic or cable
modem

A
62
Q

managment port

A

a port soley for doing interface configuration

63
Q

EXAM TIP You’ll find out-of-band management options—management
URL, modem connection, console port—on switches and on routers.
CompTIA uses the term console router to describe a router with out-of-band
management capabilitie

A
64
Q

vlan

A

virtual local are network

65
Q

virtual lan

A

allows you too segment a phyusical network into mutiple discreet networks without additional hardware.

66
Q

setup a vla and then assign ports to those vlans and have computers access it through those ports

A
67
Q

trunking

A

the proccess of transferring vlan traffic between two or more switches

68
Q

EXAM TIP Expect a question or two on segmentation and interface properties
of VLANs and 802.1Q. These will ask you about what each accomplishes and
perhaps how a configuration screen should function.

A
69
Q

NOTE VLANs based on ports are the most common type of VLAN and are
commonly known as static VLANs. VLANs based on MAC addresses are called
dynamic VLANs. The latter method is never used these days

A
70
Q

tagging

A

assins the traffic with the approrpriate vlans when frames enter the switch

71
Q

EXAM TIP Expect a question or two on the CompTIA Network+ exam that
checks your knowledge of tagging and untagging ports on VLAN switches.
Also, you’ll get a question on why you would want to change a native VLAN
(to mitigate against double-tagging attacks).

A
72
Q

vlan tp

A

vlantrunking protocol

73
Q

vlan trunking protocol

A

autotmate the updating of multiple vlan switches

74
Q

NOTE VTP offers VTP pruning, a tool for minimizing broadcast traffic. This
can be a very useful tool on larger-scale networks.

A
75
Q

NOTE Clients can update servers the same way servers update clients. The
difference is that VLAN information can only be changed on servers.

A
76
Q

intervlan routing

A

te use ofa switch in order to make a router work between 2 or more vlans

77
Q

router on a sitck configuration

A

used a single router interface to connefct to mutiple vlans on a switch

Q

NOTE Any device that works at multiple layers of the OSI seven-layer model,
providing more than a single service, is called a multifunction network device.

A
81
Q

82
Q

traffic shapping

A

83
Q

traffic shapping

A

control the flow of packets in and out off your network

84
Q

EXAM TIP Several companies enable signature management in the cloud,
to help monitor and protect network traffic from malicious code, picking
out known and suspect malware signatures with continuously updating
definition files. Check out www.threatconnect.com for a prototypical
example. And look for a signature management question on the CompTIA
Network+ exam.

A
85
Q

EXAM TIP The CompTIA Network+ exam can refer to an IDS system by either
its location on the network—thus NIDS or HIDS—or by what the IDS system
does in each location. The network-based IDS scans using signature files,
thus it is a signature-based IDS. A host-based IDS watches for suspicious
behavior on systems, thus it is a behavior-based IDS

A
86
Q

EXAM TIP Expect a question on the appropriate placement of a multilayer
switch such as an IPS or IDS within a network. This tackles the differences
among HIDS, NIDS, HIPS, and NIPS. Some of these devices might have
routing functions as well as switching functions, so be prepared for either
word to be used in the description.

A
87
Q

port mirroring

A

copy all daya on a swithc too a physical port

88
Q

proxy server

A

takes reques from client and makes them itsellf to the external server

89
Q

NOTE If a proxy server caches a Web page, how does it know if the cache
accurately reflects the real page? What if the real Web page was updated?
In this case, a good proxy server uses querying tools to check the real Web
page to update the cache.

A
