Ethernet Networks In Review - Chapter 3

What is Ethernet ? (Choose two)

What is a collision domain?

What is a broadcast domain?

Carrier Sense Multiple Access w/collision detection (CSMA/CD) is a protocol that helps devices share the bandwidth evenly without having two devices transmit at the same time on the network medium.

When two devices send out a packet at the same time on the same segment causing a collision, how does CSMA/CD act on resolving this? (Choose four)

What is the difference between Half Duplex and Full Duplex Ethernet?

Full Duplex Ethernet can run on Hub device environments

Full Duplex mode requires a dedicated switch port and a host network card that is capable of Full Duplex mode .

Ethernet at the Data Link layer is responsible for Ethernet addressing that is commonly referred to as ______________ addressing or _____________ addressing.

In the Data Link layer there are four different types of Ethernet frames.

Ethernet_II frame is the most commonly used

For Ethernet what is the most commonly used frame?

For wireless specifications what is the most commonly used frame?

What makes up Ethernet Addressing ?

What are the values of a nibble and a byte in binary numbering?

Each hex character has a value of one _______ and every two hex characters has the value of one _____

In order to convert a hex value to a decimal value, you must first convert hex into binary, then add the binary values that will result in the decimal value. Example: 0xC84 => 1100 1000 0100 => 2048 + 1024 + 128 + 4 => 3204

In order to convert binary to hex, you must first break the 8 bit binary into two 4 bit nibbles, then add up each nibble value separately which will result in the hex value. Example: 01010101 => 0101 => 5 and 0101 => 5 , now add the two nibble values separately in hex format using "0x" => 0x55

The Data Link layer is responsible for combining bits into bytes and bytes into frames.

What are the three types of media access methods for Ethernet networks?

Encapsulating a frame within a different type of frame is called Tunneling.

The Ethernet_II frame contains what field that is used to identify the network upper layer protocol.

SNAP frame has its own protocol field to identify the upper-layer protocol. How can you identify a SNAP Frame?

Name the different types of Ethernet Cabling. (Choose three)

Straight-Through cables can connect to which devices?

Crossover cables connect to what devices?

Cross-over cabling connects to what cable pins?

Data Encapsulation is data wrapped with protocol information that is created for each layer of the OSI model. To communicate and exchange information each layer uses Protocol Data Units (PDUs)

What specific name for the PDU at the Transport layer?

What is the specific PDU name for the Data Link Layer?

What is the specific PDU name for the Network Layer?

What is the specific PDU name for the Physical Layer?

The Transport layer when using TCP, it takes the data stream and makes segments and establishes a __________ circuit.

When TCP completes the virtual circuit session, its defined by the _______ and _________ port numbers.

In the Transport Layer, along with the Virtual Circuit session, the source and destination IP address is defined and called a __________.

In TCP the destination port number represents the upper layer process (Application). As an example if the destination port was 23 that would be considered a telnet session needed for the receiving host.

The Network layer is responsible in finding the destination hardware address that will dictate where the packet will go on the local area network (LAN). It does this by sending an ________ request.
