Study Notes
Advantages and Disadvantages of Switching Methods
- Cut-through switching method has an advantage over store-and-forward switching method in terms of reduced latency.
MAC Addresses
- A multicast MAC address is a specific type of MAC address.
Termination Issues
- The displayed termination in the exhibit is incorrect.
UTP Cables
- Certain types of UTP cables can be used to connect the devices in the exhibit.
Switch Port Usage
- Switch0 uses a specific port to send frames to the host with the IPv4 address 10.1.1.5.
Data Communication Terminology
- Attenuation refers to the loss of signal strength during data transmission.
Fiber Optic Cabling
- Fiber optic cabling is preferable to copper cabling for interconnecting buildings due to its advantages.
OSI Physical Layer
- Intermodulation is the process by which one wave modifies another wave.
- Bandwidth refers to the capacity at which a medium can carry data.
- Throughput refers to the measure of the transfer of bits across a medium over a given period of time.
Wireless Networks
- Two devices that commonly affect wireless networks are [devices].
Data Link Layer
- The data link layer provides error-free transfer of data frames and flow control.
- The function of the CRC value in the FCS field of a frame is to detect errors.
Frame Structure
- The trailer of a data-link frame contains the FCS.
Frame Header Fields
- The frame header fields of the data link layer contain source and destination MAC addresses.
WAN Topologies
- A partial mesh topology provides high availability and connects some, but not all, remote sites.
Ethernet Frame Processing
- Ethernet examines the destination MAC address and the FCS to determine if a received frame is passed to the data link layer or discarded by the NIC.
Media Communication
- A point-to-point connection does not require media arbitration in the data link layer.
Extended Star Topology
- An extended star topology is a type of network topology.
LLC Sublayer
- The LLC sublayer is responsible for providing multiplexing and flow control.
OSI Physical Layer
- The primary role of the OSI physical layer is to transmit raw bits over a physical medium.
Fiber Optic Connections
- Two strands of fiber are used for a single fiber optic connection to provide full-duplex communication.
Crosstalk
- Crosstalk is a phenomenon that occurs when the signal from one cable pair is induced onto another cable pair.
Reducing Crosstalk
- Twisting the cables is a procedure used to reduce the effect of crosstalk in copper cables.
Network Media Usage
- The choice of network media depends on the specific situation and requirements.
Network Throughput
- Three factors that could influence differences in throughput are [factors].
Fiber-Optic Cables
- Fiber-optic cables have two characteristics: [characteristics].
Physical Layer Role
- The Physical layer is responsible for transmitting raw bits over a physical medium.
Crosstalk in Copper Cables
- Crosstalk within copper cable pairs is caused by the electrical signals from one cable pair inducing a voltage onto another cable pair.
Cabling
- The graphic shows an example of [type of cabling].
