Question 1

Question
What best describes the Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI) ?
Answer
  • A physical model that contains seven layers and provides different vendors to communicate on the network.
  • Its a conceptual model that characterizes and standardizes the internal functions of the a communication system by partitioning it into abstraction layers.

Question 2

Question
What is layer 1: Physical layer ?
Answer
  • Provides the functional and procedural means to transfer data between network entities and to detect and possibly correct errors that may occur in the physical layer.
  • Provides the functional and procedural means of transferring variables length data sequences from a source host on one network to a destination host on a different network.
  • Defines the electrical and physical specifications for devices.

Question 3

Question
What best describes the Data Link Layer?
Answer
  • Provides the functional and procedural means of transferring variables length data sequences from a source host on one network to a destination host on a different network. It routes packets through logical addressing.
  • Defines the electrical and physical specifications for devices.
  • Defines how data is formatted for transmission and how access to the network is controlled. Provides error detection but no flow control using sliding window.

Question 4

Question
What best describes the Network Layer?
Answer
  • It segments and reassembles data in to a data stream. Services in this layer segment and reassembles data from upper layer applications.
  • Provides the physical transmission of data and handles error notification, network topology, and flow control.
  • Manages device addressing, tracks the locations of devices in the network and determines the best way to move data through logical addressing.

Question 5

Question
What best describes the Transport Layer?
Answer
  • Manages device addressing, tracks the locations of devices in the network and determines the best way to move data through logical addressing.
  • Provides the physical transmission of data and handles error notification, network topology, and flow control.
  • It segments and reassembles data in to a data stream. Services in this layer segment and reassembles data from upper layer applications.

Question 6

Question
What best describes the Session Layer?
Answer
  • Provides the physical transmission of data and handles error notification, network topology, and flow control.
  • Defines the electrical and physical specifications for devices.
  • Defined as a translator and provides coding and conversion functions. Presents data to the Application layer and is responsible for data translation and code formatting.

Question 7

Question
What best describes the Session Layer?
Answer
  • Manages device addressing, tracks the locations of devices in the network and determines the best way to move data through logical addressing.
  • Its responsible for setting up, managing and tearing down sessions between Presentation Layer entities.
  • It segments and reassembles data in to a data stream. Services in this layer segment and reassembles data from upper layer applications.

Question 8

Question
What are examples of the Physical Layer?
Answer
  • IPv4 and IPv6 used in logical addressing
  • Hubs and Repeaters. Also transmission media such as copper and fiber.
  • Hardware addressing, flow control and error notification.

Question 9

Question
What are examples of Data Link Layer?
Answer
  • Physical addressing, Network topology, Flow control and Error notification.
  • TCP and UDP
  • IPv4 and IPv6
  • FIle, print, messages, database and application services

Question 10

Question
What are examples of Network Layer?
Answer
  • Hubs and Repeaters
  • IPv4 and IPv6
  • TCP and UDP

Question 11

Question
What are examples of the Transport Layer? (Pick Two)
Answer
  • Routing using IPv4 and IPv6
  • Dialog control and sessions.
  • Establishes sessions and tearing down virtual circuit.
  • Data encryption, compression, and translation services.
  • UDP and TCP.

Question 12

Question
What are examples of the Session Layer? (Pick two)
Answer
  • Data encryption, compression, and translation services.
  • Physical topology
  • Keeps applications data separate from other applications data.
  • File, print, message and database.
  • dialog control, simplex mode, half duplex mode, and full duplex mode.

Question 13

Question
What are examples of the Application Layer? (Pick Two)
Answer
  • TCP and UDP
  • Physical Topologies
  • Telnet, HTTP, Email, SSH, DNS, FTP, SMTP and LDAP, and SNMP.
  • DHCP

Question 14

Question
The Data Link Layer provides _____________ transmission of data and handles ____________ notification.
Answer
  • 1) fast 2) network
  • 1) physical 2) error
  • 1) access control 2) error

Question 15

Question
What is the Media Access Control (MAC) IEEE 802.3 ?
Answer
  • It is a sublayer of the Data Link layer that is responsible for physical addressing. It defines how packets are placed on the media. Its called media access since it acts as a first come first service access.
  • It is a sublayer of the Data Link layer that is responsible for identifying network layer protocols and encapsulating them. Its header tells the data link layer what to do with the packet once a frame is received.

Question 16

Question
What is the Logical Link Control (LLC) IEEE 802.2 ?
Answer
  • It is a sublayer of the Data Link layer that is responsible for identifying network layer protocols and encapsulating them. Its header tells the data link layer what to do with the packet once a frame is received.
  • It is a sublayer of the Data Link layer that is responsible for physical addressing. It defines how packets are placed on the media. Its called media access since it acts as a first come first service access.

Question 17

Question
MAC address is a _____ bit ___________ address
Answer
  • 48 bit hexadecimal address
  • 64 bit hexadecimal address
  • 128 bit hexadecimal address

Question 18

Question
In a 48 bit MAC address, what represents the first 24 bits and what represents the remaining 24 bits?
Answer
  • The first 24 bits is the unique serial number and the second 24 bits represent the OUI
  • The first 24 bits is the customer number and the second 24 bits represent the unique serial number
  • The first 24 bits is the vendor (Organizational Unique Identifier) and the second 24 bits represent the unique serial number.

Question 19

Question
What is Ethernet?
Answer
  • Its a topology that allows network access for data transmission in the network
  • It is a contention media access method that allows all users on the network to share the same bandwidth.
