Study Notes
Fault Tolerant Networks
- A fault tolerant network quickly recovers from failures and uses redundancy to minimize the impact of disruptions.
Quality of Service (QoS)
- Data priorities in a corporate network with QoS: audio conference (highest), financial transactions, web browsing (lowest).
Cloud Computing Benefits
- Cloud computing enhances network capabilities without the need for new infrastructure, personnel, or software investments.
Operating System Shell
- The shell serves as the interface between users and the operating system kernel.
Secure CLI Connection
- An SSH connection ensures a secure command-line interface (CLI) session with encryption for Cisco switches.
Configuration Commands
- Commands can be rejected if entered from incorrect operation modes.
Interrupting Processes
- Ctrl-Shift-6 interrupts ongoing processes such as a ping command on a network device.
Accessing User EXEC Mode
- The password required for access via console connection to a switch is ‘lineconin’.
Remote Management
- To manage a switch remotely, configure an IP address on VLAN 1.
TCP Protocol
- TCP is responsible for segment control and data exchange rates between web clients and servers.
Open Standard Protocols
- Protocols defined by open standards promote competition and provide users with more choices.
Layered Network Model Benefits
- Advantages include better protocol design and isolation of technology between layers, preventing one layer's issues from affecting others.
OSI Model to TCP/IP Model Comparison
- The network layer in OSI corresponds to the network layer in TCP/IP, while transport layer in OSI corresponds to the transport layer in TCP/IP.
Transport Layer PDU
- The protocol data unit (PDU) at the transport layer is referred to as a segment.
Error Categorization
- Distorted signal errors from a NIC fall under the physical layer in the OSI model.
Factors Influencing Network Throughput
- Factors impacting throughput include traffic amount, type of traffic, and latency caused by multiple network devices.
UTP Cabling Characteristics
- Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling is known for its cancellation properties.
Fiber-Optic Cable Characteristics
- Fiber-optic cables resist EMI/RFI interference and are more expensive than UTP cabling.
LLC Sublayer Functionality

Layer 2 Data Encapsulation Functions
- Key functions include data link layer addressing, error detection via CRC, and delimiting bit groups into frames.
Ethernet Frame Handling
- An Ethernet host discards frames with unmatching destination MAC addresses.
Frame Forwarding Method
- Store-and-forward switching waits for the entire frame and performs a CRC check before forwarding.
ARP Functionality
- Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) maps destination MAC addresses to IPv4 addresses.

- Primary services include routing packets and encapsulating transport layer Protocol Data Units.
NVRAM Functions
- Non-volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) retains data when powered down and stores the startup configuration file.

TCP/IP Reply Identification
- In TCP/IP, the destination port number is used to determine which web browser receives a server reply.
TCP Sequence Number Usage
- Sequence numbers are used to identify missing segments and for segment reassembly.
Presentation Layer Functions
- Tasks of the presentation layer include data compression and encryption.
Peer-to-Peer Networking Model
- Peer-to-peer allows resource sharing among users without a dedicated server.
