This layer initiates a request.

What is the Application Layer?

100

This device is considered to be an intermediary device.

What is a switch?

100

A communication intended for only one network component on a segment.

What is a unicast?

100

This layer is at the bottom of the hierarchy; it enables end users to connect to the network via switches.

What is the Access layer?

100

This topology has a single connection between two components.

What is a Point-to-Point Topology?

200

This layer formats data; enacts compression, encryption.

What is the presentation layer?

200

This command allows you to display the running-config on a switch.

What is the command show running-config?

200

This communication represents communication to a group of devices on a segment.

What is a multicast?

200

This is the layout of the network, an you can choose from a handful of network topologies.

What is the Topology?

200

A central device has many point-to-point connections to other components.

What is a Star Topology?

300

This layer establishes and manages a session.

What is the session layer?

300

This command allow you to enter privileged EXEC mode.

What is the enable command?

300

This type of message is sent to all systems on the network.

What is a broadcast?

300

This network is a totally different network topology that is designed for a very small number of devices that need access to a network and the Internet.

What is a SOHO network?

300

In this topology, all components are connected to and share a single wire.

What is a Bus Topology?

400

This layer breaks data into segments; ensures delivery.

What is the transport layer?

400

This command enables you to rename the switch.

What is the command hostname?

400

This is a layer 2 representation of a broadcast address.

What is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF?

400

Another example of a two-tier architecture is the know as the.

What is the Spine-Leaf Layer?

400

In this topology, device one connects to device two, device two connect to device three, and so on to the last device, which connects back to the first device.

What is a ring topology?

500

This layer uses logical addressing, routing, and delivery of packets.

What is the network layer?

500

This command is the abbreviated version of the show running-config command.

What is the show run command?

500

Multicasting is a unique method of communication because of its group participation.

What is dynamic?

500

A small organization may not need to use a 3 layer model, so it can combine the distrubution and core layers into a single layer.

What is a collapsed layer?

500

This topology describes how components are physically cabled together.

What is Physical Topology?
