Network Topology
This Topology uses a central "Backbone" cable to connect all hosts in a line
BUS
This type of cabling uses light to send information
Fiber Optic
These device/s filter packets based on the physical address (AKA MAC – Media Access Control – address) of the sender/receiver and operate at layer 2 on the OSI model
Switches and bridges
This is a "dumb" device - it sends anything it receives to everyone
Hub
This Network type consists of a few PCs over the area of a room or two
LAN
True or false: Topologies can be combined?
True
This type of cabling can be of type Cat 3, 5, 5e, 6, 6a, or 7.
Shielded/Unshielded Twisted Pair
A wireless technology that uses a radio frequency to share data over a Short distance (10 meters), eliminating the need for wires
What is Bluetooth?
This knows exactly who should receive a message - and sends it to only one host
Switch
This network type encompasses many computers over a large geographic area... The internet can be seen as the largest one
WAN
This topology exists when each host is connected to each other host
Mesh
This word means to lose signal over distance
Attenuation
All the data of an organization is stored in a single location such as a mainframe computer or a server. What TYPE of database system is this?
Centralized database
This Device connects multiple networks together. AKA Default Gateway
Router
This network type would be found in colleges, business parks and schools with many buildings
MAN -Metropolitan Area Network
This Topology exists when there is a central device connecting each other device
Star
This type of cabling uses F-Type or BNC Connectors. You generally receive cable television from it.
Coaxial
The data is stored in storage devices that are located in different physical locations and is controlled by a central DBMS.
What is Distributed Database?
This is another name for devices on a network
Hosts or Nodes
This network is formed by all the devices on your person - Cell phone, ear buds, smart watch, fitness trackers can all be part of this network
Personal Area Network
This topology is like a bus, but the first and last computer are connected
Ring
What are the wireless transmission medias? Name at least THREE
Microwave, satellite, infrared, Bluetooth
In this type of topology we integrate two or more different topologies to form a resultant topology which has good points(as well as weaknesses) of all the constituent basic topologies
What is Hybrid Topology ?
Theses Network devices want to share information with any who ask for it
Servers
A network security device that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic and permits or blocks data packets based on a set of security rules
What is a firewall?
