Study Notes
IP Addressing
- A 4-byte IP address contains both network and host addresses.
Transport Layer Protocols
- The main transport layer protocols in networking are TCP and UDP.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
- UDP is considered connectionless as all packets are treated independently by the transport layer.
Internet Protocol Standards
- The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an internet standard for managing devices on an IP network.
Web Page Display
- The application layer utilizes the HTTP protocol for displaying web pages.
Firewall Types
- A stateful firewall examines packets and makes decisions based on the state of active connections.
- An application-layer firewall can analyze the content of data packets and block specific applications or protocols.
Firewall Concepts
- DMZ stands for Demilitarized Zone, which refers to a buffer zone in network security.
- Network Address Translation (NAT) conceals internal IP addresses from external networks.
- The default-deny rule denies all network traffic unless explicitly permitted.
VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks)
- Only trunk links are VLAN aware, enabling multiple VLANs on a single physical link.
- VLANs create broadcast domains.
VLAN Identification
- A VLAN is identified by its unique VLAN ID, which is a 12-bit field in Ethernet frames.
Security Protocols
- The Alert Protocol conveys SSL-related alerts.
- The key exchange algorithm can be any of the variations mentioned in the CipherSuite parameter.
Network Capacity
- A router returns a source quench message when it receives data exceeding its capacity.
- Routers operate at the network layer of the OSI model.
Routing Protocols
- Distance vector/path vector routing protocols include RIP and BGP.
Network Devices
- Switches function at the data link layer, while repeaters are classified as regenerating devices.
Routing Optimization
- The Next-Hop Method is a technique used to streamline routing tables.
Multicast Routing
- In multicast routing, flooding may lead to routing loops.
Encryption
- DES, 3DES, and AES are symmetrical encryption algorithms requiring the same key for both encryption and decryption.
- Encryption provides confidentiality, which is crucial for data privacy services.
