Identify the Network
100
This type of packet switching is used in local area networks.
What is LAN switching?
100
A digital networking communications method that groups all transmitted data.
What is packet switching?
100
Unlike these, network switches are capable of inspecting data packets as they are received, determining the source and destination device of each packet, and forwarding them appropriately.
What are hubs?
100
A computer networking device that switches on OSI layer 2 like an ordinary network switch and provides extra functions on higher OSI layers.
What is a multilayer switch?
100
A virtual network program.
What is packet tracer?
200
Used for workgroup connectivity and network segmentation.
What is layer 2 switching?
200
Also known as datagram switching. In this case each packet includes complete addressing or routing information.
What is connection-less packet switching?
200
By delivering messages only to the connected device intended, a network switch conserves this network resource, and offers generally better performance than a hub.
What is bandwidth?
200
A Multilayer Switch can prioritize packets by this method.
What is the 8 bits in IP DSCP?
200
A computer dedicated to handling specific network related functions.
What is a server?
300
Hardware-based packet forwarding High-performance packet switching High-speed scalability Low latency Lower per-port cost Flow accounting Security Quality of service (QoS)
What are the benefits of layer 3 switching?
300
Also known as virtual circuit switching, in this case a connection is defined and reallocated in each involved node during a connection phase before any packet is transferred.
What is connection-oriented packet switching?
300
Switches may operate at one or more layers of the OSI model, including these layers. A device that operates simultaneously at more than one of these layers is known as a multilayer switch.
What are the data link and network layers?
300
A NAT with port and transaction awareness, uses a little trickery and sends incoming packets to one or more machines which are hidden behind a single IP address.
What is a layer 4 router?
300
An example of ______ is CAT6.
What is a network cable?
400
Combines layer 2, 3, and 4 switching technologies and provides high-speed scalability with low latency.
What is multi layer switching?
400
In 1978, this protocol provided the first international and commercial packet switching network, the International Packet Switched Service (IPSS).
What is the X.25 protocol?
400
The term Network Switch commonly refers to a multi-port network bridge that processes and routes data at this layer of the OSI model.
What is the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model?
400
From OSI layer 2, 3 or 4 to IP DSCP (if IP packet) and/or VLAN IEEE 802.1p. From VLAN IEEE 802.1p to IP DSCP. From IP DSCP to VLAN IEEE 802.1p. From VLAN IEEE 802.1p to port queue.
What are the 4 mappings normally available in a multi layer switch?
400
A set of standards for implementing wireless local area network.
What is IEEE 802.11?
500
The idea of Multi-layer switching can move traffic at wire speed and also provide layer 3 routing, which can remove the bottleneck from the network routers.
What is the idea of "route once, switch many"?
500
In this communication, network resources are managed by statistical multiplexing or dynamic bandwidth allocation in which a communication channel is effectively divided into an arbitrary number of logical variable-bit-rate channels or data streams.
What is packet mode?
500
Turn particular port range on or off Link bandwidth and duplex settings Priority settings for ports IP Management by IP Clustering. MAC filtering and other types of "port security" features which prevent MAC flooding Use of Spanning Tree Protocol SNMP monitoring of device and link health Port mirroring Link aggregation VLAN settings 802.1X network access control IGMP snooping
What are typical switch management features?
500
Computer networking methodology to distribute workload across multiple computers or a computer cluster, network links, central processing units, disk drives, or other resources, to achieve optimal resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload.
What is load balancing?
500
The leading network hardware manufacturer in Canada.
