Exam 2: Network Hardware Essentials

A computer's default gateway setting is the MAC address of a router on a remote network.

Match each item with a statement below. a.switch b.default route c.half-duplex mode d.router e.bandwidth sharing f.repeater g.CTS h.network interface card i.uplink port j.network bandwidth -designated port on a hub or switch used to connect to another hub or switch

The network ____________ is a measurement of the amount of data that can pass through a network in a certain period of time.

What command would you issue from the command prompt to test whether your computer has connectivity to the network?

A wireless access point is most like which other network device, in that all computers send signals through it to communicate with other computers?

A switch operating in full ___________ mode can send and receive data at the same time.

Match each item with a statement below. a.switch b.default route c.half-duplex mode d.router e.bandwidth sharing f.repeater g.CTS h.network interface card i.uplink port j.network bandwidth -amount of data that can be transferred on a network in a specified interval

What component of the computer contains a MAC address?

What is the MAC address of a computer?

Match each item with a statement below. a.switch b.default route c.half-duplex mode d.router e.bandwidth sharing f.repeater g.CTS h.network interface card i.uplink port j.network bandwidth -device that uses MAC addresses to determine the destination of frame

When a NIC is in promiscuous mode, it will process only the frames in which the destination MAC address matches its own MAC address.

Match each item with a statement below. a.switch b.default route c.half-duplex mode d.router e.bandwidth sharing f.repeater g.CTS h.network interface card i.uplink port j.network bandwidth -device that only regenerates incoming signals

In a computer's IP address settings, the default _____________ is the address of the router to which a computer sends all packets that are intended for networks outside of its own.

Just as a switch keeps records of MAC addresses that it has learned, so does your computer. What protocol does your computer use to learn MAC addresses?

When referring to network bandwidth, what is the basic unit of measurement?

Match each item with a statement below. a.switch b.default route c.half-duplex mode d.router e.bandwidth sharing f.repeater g.CTS h.network interface card i.uplink port j.network bandwidth -how devices connected to a hub use network bandwidth

What is the purpose of the default route?

What does it mean if the full-duplex indicator on a switch port is on?

If a router receives a packet and it does not have an entry in its routing table for the destination network, it will send the packet to its default route, if configured.

Which of the following is NOT a function of a hub?
