GUI (Graphical User Interface)
what is the concept of having more than one type of way to authenticate in order to fully authenticate
Multi-factor authentication
what is the hardware device that allows multiple machines to be connected on the network and can route their packets to determined destinations based on the packet
Switch
What is the firmware that loads before the OS and facilitates the communications between components and software
BIOS (Basic Input Output System)
what is an off-site storage solution where files exist on a server you don't manage and are accessible over the internet
cloud storage
what is the text-base interface where you can only type and read to interact with the computer
CLI (Command Line Interface)

What is the object that multiple accounts can be placed in where they inherit the object attributes
Group | User group
what is the hardware device that allows for multiple machines to be connected to it and will route the network traffic from each port to each other port no matter its contents
Hub
first developed by Acorn Computers This microprocessor architecture relies heavily on the RISK architecture to make a power-efficient CPU that can run on lower power and make less heat.
ARM (Advanced RISC Machine)
what is a type of programming language with many layers of abstraction that can easily be used to program a computer to do complicated tasks
high-level programing language
what is the Windows application that can run commands and can perform advanced tasks as well as scripting

Policy Enforcement
what is the difference between a RJ-45 patch cable and a RJ-45 crossover cable
patch cable (also known as a straight-through cable) has the same pinouts on either end
crossover cable switches the data transmit and receive pins, this is accomplished by having the T-568A pinouts on one end and T-568B on the other
