47IP (Internet Protocol) is the primary TCP/IP protocol, used by the Internet layer, that is responsible for getting a message to a destination host.
- ATrue
- BFalse
48The [blank_start]Link[blank_end] Layer is the physical network, including the hardware and its firmware for every device connected to the network. A computer’s network interface card (NIC) is part of this physical network.
- ALink
49In the [blank_start]Application[blank_end] Layer, when a browser client makes a request to a web server, the browser passes the request to the OS. The OS formats the message using the appropriate application protocol (for example, HTTP, FTP, Telnet, DNS, and SSH).
- AApplication
50The [blank_start]Transport[blank_end] Layer adds information to the message to address the correct server application. Depending on the type of application, the protocol TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) or UDP (User Datagram Protocol) adds the port assigned to the server application.
- ATransport
51The [blank_start]Internet[blank_end] Layer is responsible for getting the message to the destination computer or host on the local network, an intranet, or the Internet. The primary protocol used at this layer is IP (Internet Protocol).
- AInternet
52IP at the Internet layer is responsible to make sure the message gets from one network to the next until it reaches its destination network (see Figure 8-4) and destination computer on that network.
- ATrue
- BFalse
53 On the destination computer, its NIC receives the message, strips off Ethernet or Wi-Fi information at the [blank_start]Link layer[blank_end], and passes the message up to the Internet layer. The [blank_start]Internet layer[blank_end] strips off IP address information and passes the message up to the Transport layer. The [blank_start]Transport layer[blank_end] strips off TCP or UDP information and passes the message to the correct port and on to the Application layer. The [blank_start]Application layer[blank_end] passes the message to the web server application.
- AInternet layer
- BTransport layer
- CApplication layer
- DLink layer
54What is a protocol data unit (PDU)?
- AA message on a TCP/IP network. A PDU might be called a packet or frame, depending on the complexity of the PDU.
- BEvery device on a network (for example, computers, printers, smart thermostats, refrigerators, and smartphones) connects to the network by way of its PDU and MAC address.
- CThe primary protocol used at the Internet layer is PDU, which uses a 32-bit and/or 128-bit IP address to identify each host. (Other Internet layer protocols include EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, and ICMP.)
55The largest possible 8-bit number is 11111111, which is equal to 255 in decimal, so the largest possible IPv4 address in decimal is [blank_start]255.255.255.255[blank_end].

61The [blank_start]first[blank_end] part of an IP address identifies the network, and the [blank_start]last[blank_end] part identifies the host.
- Afirst
- Blast
62For example, the range of IP addresses assigned to a local network might be 192.168.80.1-100. The first three octets (192.168.80) identify the [blank_start]network[blank_end] and the last octet (1 through 100) identifies each [blank_start]host[blank_end].

64The computer compares the first 24 bits of the destination IP address to its own first 24 bits. If they match, it directs the message to the computer on its local network. If they don’t match, it sends the message to its default gateway.
- ATrue
- BFalse
65Sometimes an IP address and subnet mask are written using a shorthand notation like 15.50.212.59/20, where the /20 means that the first 20 bits in the IP address identify the network.
- ATrue
- BFalse

- ATrue
- BFalse
75A [blank_start]multicast[blank_end] address is used to deliver messages to all nodes in a targeted, multicast group, such as when video is streaming from a server to multiple nodes on a network.
An [blank_start]anycast[blank_end] address is used by routers and can identify multiple destinations; a message is delivered only to the closest destination.- Amulticast
- Banycast
- Cunicast
- Dbroadcast
76What are the three types of unicast addresses?
- Alink local addresses
- Bunique local addresses
- Cglobal addresses
- Dpublic addresses

- AFE80::/64
- BFF00::/8
- C2000::/3

- ATrue
- BFalse
89 A [blank_start]hub[blank_end] is just a pass-through and distribution point for every device connected to it, without regard for what kind of data is passing through and where the data might be going. Hubs are outdated technology, having been replaced by switches.
- Ahub
- Bswitch
90A [blank_start]switch[blank_end] is smarter and more efficient than a hub because it keeps a table of all the MAC addresses for devices connected to it. When the switch receives a message, it searches its MAC address table for the destination MAC address of the message and sends the message only to the interface for the device using this MAC address
- Aswitch
- Bhub
91An [blank_start]unmanaged[blank_end] switch requires no setup or configuration other than connecting network cables to its ports. It does not require an IP address and is appropriate for SOHO networks.

110If you have the opposite problem of needing to get power where your network cabling has gone, you can use [blank_start]Power over Ethernet (PoE)[blank_end], a feature that might be available on high-end wired network adapters to allow power to be transmitted over Ethernet cable. Using this feature, you can place a wireless access point, webcam, IP phone, or other device that needs power in a position in a building where you don’t have an electrical outlet. The Ethernet cable to the device provides both power and data transmissions.
- APower over Ethernet (PoE)
- BEthernet over Power (EoP)

- APoE injector
- BEoP injector
- CSwtich
