Command Prompt
A Windows command line that is used to see and manage the IP addresses assigned to the machine.
What is ipconfig?
This number identifies both the logical host and the logical network addresses.
This cable is used to connect one network device to other network devices
What is an ethernet cable?
This typology describes the way the network is wired.
What is physical typology?
This piece of hardware creates the signals that are sent along the networking medium.
What is a network interface card (NIC)?
This command sends an ICMP echo request/reply packet to a remote host. A response indicates that both hosts are configured correctly and a connection exists between them.
What is ping?
This number identifies the router to which communications for remote networks are sent.
What is the default gateway?
This cable uses light to transmit a signal instead of electricity.
What is a fiber optic cable?
What is logical typology?
This technology is used to distribute electrical power along with network data on twisted-pair Ethernet cabling (CAT 5 or higher).
What is power over Ethernet?
A command that displays the current network connections, incoming and outgoing connections, active sessions, ports, and sockets, and the local routing table.
What is netstat?
This address identifies the domain name system server that is used to resolve host names to IP addresses.
What is the DNS server?
This type of cable is used to carry broadband internet signals.
What is a coaxial cable?
This type of topology consists of a trunk cable with nodes either inserted directly into the trunk or tapped into the trunk using offshoot cables called drop cables. A broken cable anywhere breaks the termination and prevents communications between any devices on the network.
What is the bus typology?
The maximum cable length for UTP Ethernet "T" implementations.
What is 100 meters?
A command that resolves the IP address of the specified hostname, as well as displaying additional name resolution information, such as the DDNS server used for the lookup request.
What is nslookup?
This 32-bit number is used to divide an IP address into two parts. One part identifies the host, while the other identifies the network to which it belongs.
What is a subnet mask?
This type of coaxial cable is used specifically for TV.
This type of topology uses a hub or switch to connect all network connections to a single physical location. This is the most popular type of topology for a LAN.
What is the star typology?
These is the most common speeds for most networks.
What are 100 and 1000 Mbps?
A command that tests connectivity between devices; however, it also sees the path between the two devices.
What is tracert?
A network server that automatically provides and assigns IP addresses, default gateways, and other network parameters to client devices.
What is a DHCP server?
This type of cable has a foil shield around it which can add EMI protection.
What is a STP cable?
In this typology, messages are sent directly to the destination unless the direct path to that destination is down. In that case, the message is sent a different route, typically through a router, that then sends the message to the destination.
What is the mesh typology?
The the only category of Ethernet bandwith that only supports full duplex.
What is 10 gigabit Ethernet?
