| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Access method | A procedure for regulating access to the tranmission medium |
| CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) | A checksum calculation used to verify the contents of a data frame |
| CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection | Network Access method used by Ethernet |
| Data Link layer | Second layer of OSI model |
| Data Frame | Package of data transmitted over the Ethernet network. Encapsulation at the Network Access layer of TCP/IP model or the Data Link layer of the OSI model |
| LLC sublayer (Logical Link Control) | Sublayer of OSI model Data Link layer that is responsible for error checking and managing links between devices on the subnet |
| MAC sublayer (Media Access Control) | Sublayer of OSI model Data Link layer that is responsible for the interface with the NIC |
| Network Architecture | Complete specification for a physical network, including the specifications for the access method, data frame, and network cabling. |
| physical address | Permanent network address, burned into the adapter by the manufacturer, that is used to deliver data across the local physical network. |
| physical layer | The first OSI layer, responsible for translating the data frame into bits suitable for the transmission medium |
| preamble | Series of bits marking the beginning of a data frame transmission |
| ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) | Key Internet layer protocol used to obtain the physical address associated with an IP address. ARP maintains a cache of recently resolved physical address - to - ip address pairs |
| Class A, B, C, D, E | Classification system for IP addresses. The network class determines how the address is subdivided into a network ID and host ID in a classfull network environment. |
| Host ID | Portion of the IP address that refers to a node on the network. Each node within a network should have an IP address that contains a unique host ID |
| ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) | Key Internet layer protocol used by routers to send messages that inform the source IP of routing problems. ICMP is also used by ping command to determine the status of other hosts on the network |
| IP (Internet Protocol) | Key Internet layer protocol used for addressing, delivering, and routing packets or datagrams. |
| Multicast | Technique that allows packets to be delivered to a group of hosts simultaneously |
| Network ID | Portion of the IP address that identifies the network |
| RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) | TCP/IP protocol that returns an IP address if given a physical address. This protocol is typically used by diskless workstation that has a remote boot PROM installed on it's NIC |
