Question
Answer
operate in the physical layer   repeater  
🗑
cant interpret the data they retransmit   repeater  
🗑
cant direct data to their destination   repeater  
🗑
only one input and output port   repeater  
🗑
allows you to extend a network cheaply   repeater  
🗑
repeater with more then one outpout port   hub  
🗑
operate at the physical layer   hub  
🗑
accepts signals from a transmitting node and sends them out to all connected nodes in a broadcast manner   hub  
🗑
allows the hub to connect to another hub   uplink port  
🗑
all devices connected share the same amount of bandwith and collision domain   hub  
🗑
do nothing but repeat signals   passive hubs  
🗑
have many functions and can be managed anywhere on the network   intelligent or managed hubs  
🗑
regenerate a signal over an entire network   repeaters  
🗑
devices that connect two networks   bridges  
🗑
analyze incoming frames and make decisions about where to send them based on the frames MAC address   bridges  
🗑
operate at the data link layer   bridge  
🗑
move data more rapidly than traditional routers because they are protocol independent   bridge  
🗑
to translate between two segments it reads the frames destination MAC address and decides to filter it or send it forward   bridge  
🗑
it reads the MAC address and searches its database and decides if the address is is on its segement or a different segment   bridge  
🗑
connectivity devices that subdivides a network into smaller logical pieces or segments   switches  
🗑
interpret MAC address information   switches  
🗑
can turn a shared channel into several channels   switch  
🗑
each on the switch acts like a bridge   port  
🗑
each device connected to a can turn a shared channel into sevreal channels   switch  
🗑
reads a frames header/MAC address and decides where to forward the data before it receives the entire packet   cut thru mode  
🗑
best suited to small workgroupd where speed is important   cut thru mode  
🗑
reads the entire data frame into memory and checks it for accuracy before sending the data   store and forward mode  
🗑
bettter suited for larger LAN environments because there are less data errors   store and forward mode  
🗑
logical seperate networks within networks by grouping a number of ports into a broadcast domain   VLAN  
🗑
combination of ports that make up a Layer 2 segment   broadcast domain or subnet  
🗑
seperating groups of users who need special security or network functions   reason for using a VLAN  
🗑
isolating connections with heay or unpredictable traffic patterns   reason for using a VLAN  
🗑
identifying groups of devices whose data should be given priority handling   reason for using a VLAN  
🗑
functions in the data link layer   spanning tree protocol  
🗑
calculates paths to avoid traffic loops and blocks links that would create loops   stp  
🗑
a glorified bridge   switch  
🗑
only one port and one bridge can can forward frames from the root bridge to the destination bridge   stp  
🗑
provides the basis for all subsequent calculations   root bridge  
🗑
switches operate in Layer of the OSI model   2  
🗑
routers operate in Layer   3  
🗑
hubs operate in Layer   1  
🗑
a switch capable of interpreting layer 3 data   layer 3 or routing switch  
🗑
switches that operate anywhere between layers 4 and layer 7   content or application switches  
🗑
multiport connectivity device that directs data between nodes on a network   router  
🗑
receives an incoming packet ,reads the logical addresing information and determines which network to deliver it to   routers  
🗑
operates at the network layer   router  
🗑
must be configured to recognize a certain network layer protocol before they can transmit data using that protocol   router  
🗑
can determine the shortest fastest path between two nodes   router  
🗑
connect dissimiliar networks determine the best path for data from point A to B   router  
🗑
reroute traffic if one path is not working provide high network fault tolerance   router  
🗑
directs data between nodes on a Lan that is operated by a single organization   interior router  
🗑
direct data between an employees workstation and his supervisors workstation down the hall   exterior router  
🗑
connect a business using a LAN operated by a single organization to a WAN   border or gateway router  
🗑
automatically calcualtes the best path between two nodes and stores the info in a table   dynamic routing  
🗑
programmed to use specific paths between two nodes   static routing  
🗑
used only to connect data about current network status and help decide the best path   routing protocols  
🗑
time it takes for a router to recognize the best path in the event of a change   convergence time  
🗑
distaance vector link state hybrid of the two   three types of routing protocols  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
