Intro to Networks Module 1
a process of connecting two more than two computers with the purpose to share data, provide
technical support, and to communicate - ANS-Networking
a drag-and-drop network simulator developed by Cisco to design, configure and troubleshoot
network equipment within a controlled, simulated program environment. - ANS-Packet Tracer
1997 - ANS-Cisco Networking Academy Founded
hosts - ANS-All computers that are connected to a network and participate directly in network
communication are classified as __________.
end devices - ANS-Hosts can be called ____________ ______________.
email server - ANS-The _________ _________ runs __________ ____________ software.
Clients use mail client software, such as Microsoft Outlook, to access email on the server.
web server - ANS-The ______________ __________ runs _______ ____________ software.
Clients use browser software, such as Windows Internet Explorer, to access web pages on the
server.
file server - ANS-The _______________ ____________ stores corporate and user files in a
central location. The client devices access these files with client software such as the Windows
File Explorer.
peer-to-peer - ANS-Client and server software usually run on separate computers, but it is also
possible for one computer to be used for both roles at the same time. This type of network is
called a _________ _____ ___________ network.
Easy to set up.
Less Complex.
Lower Cost.
Can be used for simple tasks. - ANS-Advantages of a peer to peer network
No central Administration
Not as Secure
, Not Scalable
All Devices may act as both clients and servers which slows performance - ANS-Disadvantages
of peer to peer networks
message transmitted - ANS-An end device is either the source or destination of a
_____________ _______________ over the network.
address - ANS-To distinguish one end device from another, each end device on a network has
an __________
Intermediary devices - ANS-_________________ _________________connect the individual
end devices to the network. They can connect multiple individual networks to form an
internetwork. These ______________ ______________ provide connectivity and ensure that
data flows across the network.
destination end device address - ANS-Intermediary devices use the __________________
______ ____________ ______________, in conjunction with information about the network
interconnections, to determine the path that messages should take through the network.
Wireless Router
Lan Switch
Router
Multilayer Switch
Firewall Appliance - ANS-Intermediary Devices include:
media - ANS-The _________ provides the channel over which the message travels from source
to destination.
Metal wires within cables
Glass or plastic fibers within cables
Wireless transmission - ANS-three types of media
Metal wires within cables - ANS-Data is encoded into electrical impulses.
Glass or plastic fibers within cables - ANS-Data is encoded into pulses of light.
Wireless transmission - ANS-Data is encoded via modulation of specific frequencies of
electromagnetic waves.
