Verified Answers | Grade A+
• Network Topology . Answer: The Physical/Logical shape of a network
• Logical Topology . Answer: Gives the description for the physical
layout, shows VLAN's and where they are placed on the physical
topology
• Trunk Port . Answer: Connects packets that travel to all VLAN's on a
switch
• Baseband Systems . Answer: Transmits one signal on the medium
(fiber, copper, etc)
• Broadband . Answer: Form of multiplexing to join multiple signals on
a medium
• Ethernet . Answer: Designed as baseband system that can be used in
multiplexing
• CSMA/CD . Answer: Carrier Sense Multiple Access/ Collision
Detection
,• Unicast . Answer: Broadcast for a single device
• Multicast . Answer: Broadcast for a specific group or multiple devices
• Broadcast . Answer: Message for everyone to receive and process
• Hub . Answer: Broadcasts packets to every single port
• Switch . Answer: Broadcasts packets to device found on a singular port
• Content Addressable Memory (CAM) . Answer: Is a table that contains
the MAC address and port associated to that MAC Address
• Virtual LAN (VLAN) . Answer: Splitting a switch in which certain
ports can only talk to certain ports (Segment networks within a switch)
• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) . Answer: A different way of
switching packets that can be used on a dedicated line
• 802.1x . Answer: Network Access Control that is a layer 2
authentication (Credentialed Question of 2FA)
• A security appliance should be set in place when . Answer: There is a
change in trust level in the network
, • Protocol . Answer: is an agreement or rules of engagement for how
computer networks communicate
• OSI Protocol Stack (7) . Answer: Layer 7) Application
Layer 6) Presentation
Layer 5) Session
Layer 4) Transport
Layer 3) Network
Layer 2) Data Link
Layer 1) Physical
• Application Layer 7 OSI Stack . Answer: Browsers, FTP, HTTP, SCP
• Presentation Layer 6 OSI Stack . Answer: Makes data presentable to
the application or user (ASCII)
• Session Layer 5 OSI Stack . Answer: Handles the
establishment/maintenance of connections between systems
• Transport Layer 4 OSI Stack . Answer: Determines that application the
packet should be sent to through port numbers (Web on 80,443)
• Network Layer 3 OSI Stack . Answer: Moving packets from one
network to another network, uses logical addressing instead of physical
addressing
