Topologies
These are the five most common network topologies. (20 pts for each)
What is bus, ring, star, mesh & hybrid?
A chunk of data with protocol-specific headers added at each OSI layer
What is a Protocol Data Unit (PDU)?
This is a critical security measure for protecting the router's management interface. A strong passphrase helps prevent unauthorized access to the router's settings, where malicious changes could compromise the entire network's security.
What is Configuring a strong administrative account passphrase?
When you have diagnosed the symptoms of a network issue and know what is likely causing them, this is what should you do next.
What is test each possible cause until you find the right one?
This layer manages end-to-end communications. At layer 4, a port number identifies each application, such as 80 for hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) web traffic.
What is the transport layer (layer 4)?
This is networking terms refers to the nodes that send and receive data traffic.
What is End systems?
These are layer 1 devices and are used to convert one cable type to another. These components alter the characteristics of one type of cable to match those of another.
What is a media converter?
These are at what layer of the OSI model?
WAN port for Internet Service Provider (ISP) connection
RJ-45 ports for a local cabled network
Radio antennas for wireless signal transmission
What is the physical layer (layer 1)?
These questions are asked to figure out which step of the troubleshooting method.
What has changed since it was last working?
Did it ever work?
What is trying to identify the problem?
This is where Mr. Favat went over the summer.
What is Japan? Will also take Nashville or Atlanta.
This is designed for a small number of users in a single location, often using a single Internet router/switch/access point to provide connectivity. It would not be suitable for connecting multiple offices in different countries.
This is responsible for the transmission and receipt of the signals that represent bits of data from one node to another node. Wireless is one medium.
What is Layer 1 (Physical Layer)?
A small office/home office (SOHO) network is configured to use the private IP address range of 192.168.1.0/24. This is an IP address on this network.
What is AMV (answers may vary)?
When troubleshooting a software issue reported by a user who is unfamiliar with technical terms, this type of question is MOST effective to begin the diagnostic process.
What is asking them to describe what they were doing when the issue occurred?
These layers are responsible for network services directly to the user's applications, such as email, file transfer, and other network software services. responsible for the translation, encryption, and compression of data. establishes, manages, and terminates connections between applications.
What are the Application (7), Presentation (6), & Session (5) layers
A growing company has recently moved into a new office space. The company has 50 employees, each with their own workstation. The office also has multiple printers, a centralized server, and requires structured cabling for connectivity.
What is a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) network?
Switches, bridges, and network interface cards (NICs) all lie at this layer of the OSI model.
What is the Data Link Layer?
Each digit can represent sixteen different values. The numerals 0 through 9 are used for values zero to nine, and the letters A through F are used for values ten to fifteen, respectively.
What is hexadecimal?
The last step in troubleshooting is this. This gives you the opportunity to add a complete description of the problem and its solution, including findings, actions, and outcomes.
What is document findings?
This is the new language class GCIT offers.
What is American Sign Language (ASL)?
This describes the flow of data through the network. In the scenario, each device can send messages to any other device on the network, which is a characteristic of this.
What is a logical topology?
When the Data Link layer performs encapsulation, it adds control information to the payload in the form of header fields.
What is Checksum for basic error checking, destination and source hardware address?
This ip address is 205.57.169.66, it's binary counterpart is.
What is
11001101 = 205
00111001 = 57
10101001 = 169
01000010 = 66
These are the seven steps of the troubleshooting method (100 pts each)
What is
These are the 5 principals names and their corresponding grade levels they are in charge of. (100 points each)
What is Dr. Girard - Principal, Ms. Wilbraham - 12th, Mr. Wright - 11th, Ms. Worthington - 10th, Mr. Long - 9th
