What is the physical topology?
100
Part of a network in which segments and significant shared devices connect
What is a Backbone?
100
Component of a network's logical topology that determines how connections are created between nodes.
What is Switching?
100
Method of controlling how network nodes access the communication channel.
What is Access Method?
100
Beginning 8 byte part of a Layer 2 Frame.
What is a Preamble?
200
Consists of a single cable that connects all nodes on a network without connectivity devices.
What is a Bus Topology?
200
Consists of two or more devices connected to each other by a single medium in a daisy-chain fashion.
What is a Serial Backbone?
200
Connection between two nodes in which all data follows the initial path chosen. (Hint: Phone calls).
What is Circuit Switching?
200
Used by all Ethernet networks to control access, uses several methods at one to keep collisions from taking down the network.
What is Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)?
200
Allows Layer 2 frames to find the exact location of the destination.
What is the Destination MAC Address?
300
Each node is connected to the two nearest nodes so th that the entire network forms a circle.
What is a Ring Topology?
300
Consists of a number of intermediate connectivity devices connected to one more central connectivity devices.
What is a Distributed Backbone?
300
Portion at the beginning of a Layer 2 Switched Frame
What is a Layer 2 Header?
300
Portion of a network in which collisions occur if two or more nodes transmit at the same time.
What is a Collision Domain?
300
Specification that supplies electrical power to devices via Ethernet Cabling.
What is Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
400
Every node on the network is connected through a central device.
What is a Star Topology?
400
Uses a router or switch as the single central connection point for multiple sub-networks.
What is a Collapsed Backbone?
400
Segments packets before transportation, can travel any path to destination.
What is Packet Switching?
400
In the example below, what does the "T" represent? 10Base-T
What is Twisted-Pair?
400
Contains methodologies to protect the intergity of the data in a Frame.
What is Frame Check Sequence (FCS)?
500
Combined configuration of physical topologies.
What is a Hybrid Topology?
500
Consists of more than one connection from the central router or switch, creating redundant pathways.
What is a Parallel Backbone?
500
Allows Layer 3 protocols to travel over one of several connection-oriented Layer 2 protocols.
What is Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)?
500
What kind of medium is used in a 1000Base-SX connection?
