Network Devices
Used to connect cables that support faster data speeds to older slower networks.
What is a network media converter?
This topology combines characteristics of linear bus and star topologies.
What is a tree topology?
A generic term for organized collections of computer data and instructions that cause the computer hardware to perform specific operations.
What is software?
The goal of these attacks is to access some resource that your machine should not provide the attacker.
What is unauthorized access?
The ability to have a single point of control to accomplish the activities required to manage a network.
What is Network Management?
Combines several different data signals onto a single fiber optic cable.
What is wave division multiplexing?
A temporary wireless network can also be set up directly between devices without the need of an access point.
What is Ad-hoc network?
This software listens to a TCP port for connections and accepts and services those connections.
What is server software?
Occurs when an attacker changes entries in records.
What is data diddling?
Goals are to plan for the future network, as well as, determine the efficiency of the current network.
What is Performance Management?
What does the fragment free switching technique check in a frame?
First 64 bytes
This is a secure, resilient, scalable voice and/or data network created over public lines using tunneling techniques.
What is Virtual Private Network (VPN)?
A single computer in a network specifically reserved for serving the needs of the network.
What is a dedicated server?
Alerts the recipient of unauthorized modification during transmission, storage, and processing.
What is data integrity?
This type of fault isolation involves checking the configuration files of the online network equipment.
What is software fault isolation?
Can support segment lengths as long as 2000 meters for 10 and 100 Mbps Ethernet, and 550 meters for 1 Gbps Ethernet.
What is multi-mode fiber?
Often referred to as thin APs or just access ports – have limited software and require WLAN controllers and switches.
What are lightweight access points?
Computer software whose primary purpose is the entrance and retrieval of information.
What is a database application?
This goal will includes: securing the protocols on which the Internet is based, ensuring the security of the routers that direct the flow of data, and implementing effective management practices.
What is Secure the Mechanism of the Internet?
This command will show the route the packet has taken and the time between the hops.
What is TRACERT?
This layer of the OSI model responsible for placing data into packets known as IP datagrams, addressing packets, and translating logical addresses (IP) and names into physical addresses (MAC).
What is the Network Layer (Layer 3)
The way the network operates or how the data travels or moves through the network.
What is logical topology?
A specialized software program, or a specialized physical hardware device, which inspects network traffic passing through it, and denies or permits passage based on a set of well-defined rules.
What is a firewall?
Computer-based systems that are used by many infrastructures and industries to remotely control sensitive processes and physical functions that once had to be controlled manually.
What are digital control systems (DCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA)?
A mechanism for temporarily stopping the transmission of data on computer networks.
What is Ethernet Flow Control?
