Q

What happens if the DHCP server isn’t on the same segment as a DHCP client?

A

The broadcast won’t be received by the server because BY DEFAULT, routers won’t forward broadcasts

Q

Q

When to use reservation list?

A
  1. You would use this reservation list for routers or servers if they were not statically assigned

25
The process of finding the IP address for any given hostname
Name resolution
26
Name resolution ways:
1. hosts file --> statically type all the names and the IP addresses of all hosts 2. request broadcast on the local network --> Microsoft's fave 3. DNS 4. WINS - Windows Internet Naming Service
27
How are domains arranged on the internet?
Hierarchical structure
28
Top-level domain is called:
Root
29
Gives the IP address of a domain or host
A record or address record
30
In IPV6, A record is called:
Quad-A or AAAA record
31
If you know the IP address and want to know the host name
Pointer record (PTR)
32
Translates mail records and points to the mail exchanger for particular hosts
Mail Exchange record (MX record)
33
Indicates the order in which they should be accessed by other mail delivery systems
Priority code
34
Other names for CName
canonical name; alias record
35
Allows hosts to have more than one name
CName
36
If you want a machine to have the the name FTP so that users can use FTP to access a different portion of the file system as an FTP root, how can accomplish this?
CName record Ex. p.157
37
Allow us to update standby servers and have some redundancy in our DNS deployments and distribute the workload across multiple DNS servers
Zone transfers
38
All devices use a cache system that stores the requests locally for a period of time and this tells the client how long that should be
TTL (Time to Live)
39
To have the client communicate with multiple DNS servers during the name resolution process
Iterative DNS query
40
One DNS server will query other DNS servers instead of the client performing all of the operations
Recursive lookup
41
What layer is DNS?
Application layer
42
Port for DNS queries

55
Performed to make sure that the servers are operational

56
Allows incoming connections to be spread out across multiple servers for scalability and resiliency Publishes a virtual IP address to a domain to receive incoming traffic, then has a pool of real servers that it distributes the contents to

73
This device can never run full duplex Layer 1 device
Hub
74
This device breaks up collision domains and broadcast domains. Creates and maintains broadcast domains and connectivity of WAN services
Router
75
Connects 2 similar network segments together Main function: keep traffic separated on either side of it, breaking up collision domains; divides busy network into 2 segments Layer 2 device
Bridge
76
Connect multiple segments of a network together Recognizes frames, source and destination MAC addresses, and receiving port Layer 2 device
Switch
77
If the switch can't figure out the location of the frame's destination...
it will flood the frame out of every port except the one on which the frame port was received
78
Device that is software-based
Bridges
79
Device that is hardware-based, multiport bridge
Switch
80
SOHO stands for:
Small Office Home Office
81
A device that can function like other devices like firewalls
Router
82
* IP address is expected to be configured on each interface * Not enabled by default * A good network design must be considered before installing it
Router
83
* IP address is not needed * Enabled by default * Very good at autodetecting the speed, duplex, and ethernet cable type * Plug and play * All ports are set to duplex by default * Speed is set to auto
