Study Notes
Client-Server Networks
- A client-server network has centralized administration.
- In a client-server network, each computer does not need to share its resources.
- Users need to have a user account on every computer they need to use in a client-server network.
Routing
- Dynamic routing reduces broadcast traffic.
- Dynamic routing automatically maintains routing tables.
Port Types
- A trunk port supports VLAN traffic between two switches.
Cable Types
- ST cable is used to reduce attenuation.
- ST cable is used in areas with high external interference.
Network Topologies
- A mesh network topology works best for networks with a large number of nodes.
- In a mesh network topology, every node connects to every other node on the network.
- A mesh network topology is fault-tolerant due to redundant connections.
Network Devices
- A network controller, also known as a controlling server, is in charge of user accounts, computer accounts, network time, and the general well-being of an entire domain of computers and users.
Data Transfer
- Unicast is a type of communication sent to a single designated host.
- Unicast reduces network traffic greatly, and helps with packet loss and duplicates.
Network Devices and Nodes
- A host is a single computer or device that connects to a TCP/IP network.
- IP addresses can be applied to devices like switches, routers, and so on.
Wireless LANs
- An access point is the central device used in wireless LANs.
Encryption and Protocols
- Telnet does not encrypt session data between all machines.
- IPv4 multicast addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
Access Methods
- CSMA/CD is an access method that checks to see if a collision has been detected.
- CSMA/CD waits until the transmission medium is idle.
- CSMA/CD does not perform a round robin search for requests to transmit from all nodes on the network.
