Study Notes
Network Fundamentals
- A PC can connect to a network with no additional configuration because it can use DHCP to automatically receive IP addressing information from a server.
- The application layer in the TCP/IP protocol suite is roughly equivalent to the Application, Presentation, and Session layers of the OSI model.
Network Devices
- Intermediary devices include routers and switches.
- A switch receives a frame and the source MAC address is not found in the switching table, it maps the source MAC address to the port on which it was received.
Network Types
- A converged network is a single network that delivers voice, video, and data to a variety of devices.
- A LAN (Local Area Network) is a type of network.
OSI Model
- A switch uses the Data Link layer (Layer 2) to make a forwarding decision.
- The layer between the Network layer and the Application layer is the Transport layer.
- The correct order of the protocol stack for a client sending a request to a web server is: HTTP, TCP, IP, Ethernet.
Networking Concepts
- A characteristic of hosts on the same network segment is that they share the same subnet mask, network id, and broadcast address.
- The general term used to describe a piece of data at any layer of a networking model is not specified in the text.
Command-Line Interface
- The Windows command that opens the Network Connections window is
ncpa.cpl.
Network Devices and Functions
- A router determines the path that messages should take through internetworks.
- A scenario that may result in multiple MAC addresses being assigned to one Switch Port in the MAC Address Table is when multiple devices are connected to the same physical switch port or an Ethernet hub is connected to a Switch port.
