Hubs are devices that pass on anything received on one connection to all other connections. Switches are devices that learn which devices are on which connection.

What is Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)?

If an organization utilizes wireless Ethernet, this is employed. It is a network multiple access methodin which carrier sensing is used, but nodes attempt to avoid collisions by transmitting only when the channnel is identified as idle. When nodes do transmit, they transmit their packet data in its entirety.

The name for the connector on a twisted pair cable (Ethernet cables)

What is another term for Network Interface Card (NIC)?

The network adapter.

These are important to share data and give information about a company. Windows servers can be installed as these, but Internet Information Services (IIS) must be installed and configured in order to do so.

What are network topologies?

These define the physical connections of hosts in a computer network. There are several types of physical topologies, including bus, ring, star, mesh, and tree.

What is the wireless access point (WAP)?

This acts as the central connecting device for a wireless network.

What is a print server?

This controls printers that can be connected directly to the server or (and more commonly) are connected to the network. It can control the startin and stopping of documents, as well as concepts such as spooling, printer pooling, ports, and much more.

What is Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)?

This governs the way that computers coexist with limited collisions, since computers on a default Ethernet LAN all share the same channel.

What is a wireless local area network (WLAN)?

This has many advantages, the most standout of which is the ability to roam.Ex) laptop

What is a database server?

This houses a relational database, one that is made up of one or more files. SQL databases fall into this category. Access databases (which are just one file) would not necessarily require a database server; they would usually be stored on a regular file server.

What is a switch?

This is a device at layer 2 that is a central connecting device for a wired network.

What is a host?

This is a device or computer that has an IP address. ex) Windows 10.

What is an Ethernet frame?

This is a group of bytes packaged by a network adapter for transmission across the network. These are created and reside on Layer 2 of the OSI model.

What is a local area network (LAN)?

This is a group of computers that are confined to a small geographical area, usually one building.

What is VLAN?

This is a group of hosts with a common set of requirements that communicate as if they were connected together in a normal fashion on one switch, regardless of their physical location.

What is a network controller?

This is a server, such as a Microsoft domain controller that oversees user accounts, computer accounts, network time, and the general well-being of the entire domain of computers and users. Also referred to as network operating systems (NOSs)

What is Ethernet?

This is a set of rules that govern the transmission of data between network adapters and various central connecting devices.

What is 802.3ab also known as?

This is also known as Gigabit Ethernet.

What is a multiport repeater?

This is also known as a hub. This is the most basic of central connecting devices (CCDs); It connects each of the computers, known as hosts, to each other by way of copper-based cables.

This is when information is sent to one host only. This reduces the network traffic greatly and helps with packet loss and duplicates.

What is half-duplex?

This means that the network adapter can send and receive data, but not at the same time.

What is full-duplex?

This means that the network card can send and receive data simultaneously. This tranceives twice as much information per second compared with a half-duplex connection.

What type of networks is CSMA/CA particularly important for?

This type of wireless Ethernet is important for wireless networks, where the collision detection of CSMA/DC is unreliable due to the hidden node portion.

What is Centralized Computing?

This was during the days of the mainframe, where there was one super computer and the rest of the devices that connected to the super computer were known as terminals (or dumb terminals)
