Chapter 7: Wired and Wireless Local Area Networks Flashcards
- CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) is not used in token ring protocol LANs. It is a contention-based media access control technique used in Ethernet networks. - CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) is a network protocol that helps prevent collisions in wireless networks. - Focus on cables, acces point, LAN components, Domain controller, Switch-Based Ethernet, Switch Forwarding Table, Switch Modes, WLAN standards.

False
Many network hubs and switches incorporate repeaters to regenerate signals so that attenuation of the signal does not occur. (TRUE/FALSE)?
True
The NOS software for the server computer provides the physical, data link, and network layer function. (TRUE/FALSE)?
False
Network profile refers to what resources on each server are available on the network for use by other computers and which devices or people are allowed access on the network. (TRUE/FALSE)?
True
A switch always broadcasts all the packets it receives to all computers that are connected to the switch. (TRUE/FALSE)?
False
