Study Notes
Protocol at Transport Layer
- UDP operates at the transport layer of the TCP model.
Port Numbers and Services
- Port 21: FTP
- Port 25: SMTP
- Port 53: DNS
- Port 80: HTTP
- Port 443: HTTPS
Ping Utility
- Two purposes of the ping utility:
- Self-test a host's network interface
- Determine if a host is reachable
Multilayer Switch Feature
- Translates between network protocols
- Provides Layer 3 routing functions
Netstat Command
- Used to display ports a computer is listening on
Type 2 Hypervisor and Virtual Machines
- Rebooting one virtual machine does not automatically reboot the other virtual machines.
- Rebooting the host machine does not affect other virtual machines.
- Rebooting a virtual machine requires rebooting the physical server first.
Wired Ethernet Network Topology
- Uses network adapters with physical IP addresses
- Typically employs twisted pair or fiber optic media
IPv4 Address
- Consist of a network ID and host ID
Network Address Translation (NAT)
- Used to enable internal clients with private IPv4 addresses from a router
Troubleshooting Internet Access Issues
- Perform a line test to check connectivity between the ISP and customer.
- Ask the customer to restart the modem.
- Ask the customer to check status lights on the modem.
Ping Utility Protocol
- ICMP
Internet of Things (IoT)
- IoT devices have IP addresses
- IoT devices often communicate with a network automatically without human interaction.
- Examples include smart thermostats and light bulbs.
IP Address Ranges
- Loopback addresses: 127.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255
- Multicast addresses: 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255
- Private network addresses: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Switch Functionality
- Unicast frames are sent to a single destination port.
- If a switch does not know where to send a frame, it floods the port.
- Switches do not send broadcast frames to only the uplink port. (Incorrect).
Network Cable Type
- Multi-mode fiber is appropriate for shorter distances (e.g., six miles/ten kilometers).
Switch Characteristics
- Switches can send and receive data at the same time (simultaneously).
- Switches identify intended destinations of data they receive (prevent collisions).
Network Device for Workgroup
- Managed switch
Linux Command-Line Tool for Connections
- Netstat is the command-line tool for listing a host's active incoming connections.
Broadest Network Type
- WAN
Dynamic Routing Advantage
- Automatically maintains routing tables
LAN to WAN Connection
- Router
Cloud-Based Virtual Machines and Reduced Responsibilities
- Backing up application data
- Managing permissions to shared documents
Troubleshooting Website Access Issues
- Checking the router for proper connectivity
- Checking computer IP addresses
- Contacting the internet service provider
Wireless Authentication Method
- Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)
Teredo Tunneling Protocol
- Enables the passing of IPv6 traffic through IPv4 networks
VPN
- Provides a secure connection through public networks
Internet Topology
- Mesh topology
Top-Level Domain (TLD)
- org
IP Address Configuration
- Wireless adapter configured via DHCP
- Ethernet adapter configured via APIPA
Wireless Encryption Susceptibility
- WEP
Multilayer Switch Function
- Provides Layer 3 routing functions
Perimeter Network (DMZ)
- Deploy the web server in a perimeter network to protect the internal network from intrusion. (a DMZ).
Technology for Extending Internal Networks
- VPN
Network Cable Testing Tool (cable bundle without labels)
- Time-domain reflectometer (TDR)
Ethernet Cable Type for Shorter Distance
- UTP Cat5e
Network Hardware Tool for 1000Mbps Transmission
- Time-domain reflectometer (TDR)
Fault-Tolerant Routing Option
- Dynamic routing
Type of Network for Private Wi-Fi Networks
- Intranet
VLAN Purpose
- To reduce the number of broadcast domains.
Justification for STP Cable
- Routing cables through areas with high external interference.
Least Susceptible Media to Interference
- Fiber optic
VPN Definition
- A secure private connection over a public network
Fault-Tolerant Network Topology
- Mesh
DNS Utility Tool
- nslookup
IPv6 Loopback Address
- ::1
Fiber Network Testing Tool
- Optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR)
Wireless Network Security Concern
- Inability to encrypt transmission
Wireless Router Broadcast ID
- SSID
Service Utilising PTR and A Records
- DNS
VLAN Traffic Port Type
- Trunk port
DHCP Issue Indicator
- 169.254.1.15 (this address is used when DHCP fails to assign an address)
DHCP Lease Expiration
- The client attempts to renew its lease.
Linux Command for Incoming Connections
- Netstat
