Question 19

client network configuration

Answer 19

setting up a computer to connect to and interact with a network.
-client software
- IP address and subnet mask.

Question 20

IPv4

Answer 20

to identify each device and ensure data is routed to the correct destination.
-32-bit numbers written in a dotted decimal format (e.g., 192.168.1.1).

Question 21

Internet Protocol

IPv6

Answer 21

It helps identify which parts of an IP address belong to the network and which parts belong to individual hosts.
-128 bits long
-hexidecimal -numbers/letters/semicolons
- 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

Question 22

Subnet Mask (CIDR)

Answer 22

A subnet mask is a 32-bit number used to distinguish the network part of an IP address from the host part.

Ex. 255.255.255.0 or /24

Question 23

subnet

Network Portion

Answer 23

identifies which bits of an IP address are used to define the network.

Question 24

subnet

Host Portion

Answer 24

indicates which bits are used to identify individual hosts on that network.

Question 25

# subnet Subnetting

Answer 25

where a large network is divided into smaller, more manageable networks.

Question 26

# subnet mask CIDR Notation

Answer 26

255.255.255.0 would be written as /24 in CIDR notation which is an abbreviation.

Question 27

default gateway

Answer 27

typically a router, that acts as the entry and exit point for data packets traveling between a local network and other networks, including the internet. Router's public IP: 66.117.135.8 Router's local IP: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.101, 192.168.1.102 etc.

Question 28

Device Manager

Answer 28

is a Windows tool for managing connected hardware, allowing users to view device properties, update drivers, troubleshoot issues, and configure settings.

Question 29

Control Panel

Answer 29

is a longstanding system management interface that allows users to configure hardware, software, user accounts, and accessibility settings, though some features have moved to the newer Settings app.

Question 30

network prefix (CIDR)

Answer 30

is a way of grouping IP addresses together, essentially defining a range of IP addresses within a network. EX. In the prefix 192.168.1.0/24, the "192.168.1.0" is the network address, and "/24" means that the first 24 bits of the IP address are used to define the network.

Question 31

# conversion CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing)

Answer 31

Convert the subnet mask to its binary equivalent. For example, 255.255.255.0 in binary is 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000, count consective 1s resulting /24.

Question 32

# IPV4 Internet Protocol (IP) breakdown

Answer 32

is a 32 bit of 4 (8bit) octets. Ex. 192.168.1.100 where the first three octets (192.168.1.) is the *network ID* and the last octet is the *host ID* (100).

Question 33

Subnetting

Answer 33

Subnets are smaller divisions of local networks that help manage IP address allocation and network traffic, with each subnet having a distinct IP range determined by its subnet mask. Ex. 192.168.1.*101* 192.168.1.*102* 192.168.1.*103* where the last octet is the host ID within the local network.

Question 34

Domain Name System (DNS) servers

Answer 34

resolve requests for name resources to IP addresses

Question 35

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server

Answer 35

is a network service that automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices connected to a network.

Question 36

Host

Answer 36

is any device connected to a network with a unique IP address

Question 37

client

Answer 37

is a device or program that requests services or resources from another device, typically a server.

Question 38

Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)

Answer 38

is the complete, unambiguous address of a computer or server on the internet, including: -domain name (maps IPs) www -host name (label) example -top-level domain (suffix) edu, org, com Ex. www.example.com

Question 39

statically or dynamically

Answer 39

which means can be manually configured (statically) or assigned by a server (dynamically)

Question 40

Windows client IP configuration

Answer 40

is managed through Network & Internet settings or the Network Connections applet, with default installations including Microsoft network services, IPv4/IPv6 protocols, and Link-layer Topology Discovery, while DHCP assigns IP addresses automatically unless manually configured.

Question 41

Network Location Awareness

Answer 41

managed by Windows Defender Firewall, determine access control and host discoverability, with Public networks blocking access and Private networks allowing sharing, while UNC syntax (\Host\Path) enables access to shared resources.

Question 42

Universal Naming Convention (UNC)

Answer 42

It allows users to access shared files, folders, and other network resources by using a unique address in the format.
