Q

A straight through cable utilizes what pins?

A

1, 2, 3, and 6

18
Q

What pins are flipped on a cross over cable?

A

white-orange with white-green, and orange with green

19
Q

A straight through cable is used when connecting what type of devices?

A

Dissimilar devices (computer to a hub or a switch)

20
Q

A crossover cable is used when connecting what type of devices?

A

Similar (switch to switch, computer to computer)

21
Q

1000BASE-LX is what kind of cable, and how do you know?

A

Fiber. The X indicates it is a fiber cable.

22
Q

What is the difference between multimode and singlemode fiber?

A

Multimode is faster but travels a smaller distance (500m), singlemode is slower but can travel a much further distance (40km)

23
Q

What is the minimum and maximum allowed size of data within a frame?

A

46 bytes and 1500 byes

24
Q

A frame larger than 1518 bytes but smaller than 1600 bytes is known as a what?

A

Baby giant

25
Q

What does the type refer to within a frame?

A

IPv4 vs IPv6

26
Q

Where in the frame is the FCS located?

A

The trailer

27
Q

How many bits are in a MAC address, what kind of characters are used, and explain the different parts of the address?

A

48bits/6bytes. 12 characters in Hexadecimal. The first 24 bits are the Organizational Unique Identifier (OUI) and reveal who made the device. The last 24 bits are vendor assigned.

28
Q

What is the difference between full duplex and half duplex?

A

Full duplex allows a device to send and receive at the same time. Half duplex limits the device to doing one at a time.

29
Q

What type of leased line transmits data at 1.544 megabits per second?

A

T1

30
Q

What are the two types of serial WAN link proocols, and who uses them?

A

HLDC and PPP. HLDC is Cisco proprietary while PPP is vendor neutral and used more often than HLDC.

31
Q

Routers act as the what for host devices? Hint, it is known as the default router…

A

Gateway

32
Q

What dos the Domain Name System (DNS) do?

A

Resolves names into IP addresses (ie. www.google.com into 8.8.8.8)

33
Q

What does the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) do?

A

Resolves IP addresses into MAC addresses.

34
Q

At what layer does the Ping and ICMP Echo operate at?

A

Layer 3

35
Q

What kind of connector is used for modern networks to allow different ethernet connectors such as fiber?

A

SFP+

36
Q

What part of the fiber cable is responsible for reflecting the light source?

A

Cladding

37
Q

A hub operates at layer 1 and transmits data in what duplex mode?

A

Half duplex

38
Q

True or False: Routers must be configured to learn every possible route, including its own connections?

A

FALSE

39
Q

What happens to a packet when a host attempts to send a packet to a destination IP address is located in a different subnet?

A

The packet is sent to the default gateway where the router then sends the packet to the appropriate subnet using its routing table.

40
Q

How does ARP work?

A

The router sends a broadcast to all devices on the subnet to find the MAC address. If the MAC address is found, then the switch sends an ARP reply to the router stating the original IP address and the matching MAC. This information is then stored in the ARP table.

41
Q

What field do Cisco routers add into the HDLC header?

A

Type

42
Q

Which protocol requires a PC to learn information from some other server device?

A

DNS
