NO

Are the victim and default router aware that the man in the middle attack is occurring?

Physical and Data Link layers

At what layers do single networks require standards?

YES

Can Ethernet switches implement priority?

just the core. The cladding is what holds that signal withing the cable

Does the signal travel through the optical fiber core, cladding, or both?

voice over IP phones, surveillance cameras, internet access points

For what types of devices is POE Plus sufficient?

4

HOw many pairs are there in a UTP cord?

Hierarchical switch topology

How are switches in an Ethernet LAN organized?

twisted

How are the two wires in each pair organized?

requires authentication before receiving each packet

How can 802.AE defeat man in the middle attacks?

it can create loops within the network

How does Installing backup links bring redundancy?

because if one switch fails there is another path for the data to go through

How does Installing backup links improve reliability?

ARP cache stores the list of IP addresses and the EUI-48 addresses linked to that IP address

How does a host use information in its ARP cache?

Attacker can receive important information without victim realizing it

How does a man in the middle attack benefit the attacker?

When there are more than 2 signals, if a signal is mis-sent it is harder to determine what it was meant to be.

How does error resistance differ in binary and digital signalling?

it requires users to provide their identity before the workgroup switch will pass further trafic

How does the 802.1X address the threat?

it changes the EUI-48 address to the attacker's address. this sends all the information to the attacker's computer first

How does the ARP cache poisoning packet change the ARP cache on a victim host or router? What are the consequences of this change?

ONE

How many possible paths can there be between any two hosts?

8

How many priority levels can Ethernet switches implement?

8

must configure it's equipment to recognize two optional tag fields

If a company wishes to use priority in Ethernet, what fields must it add?

workgroup switch

In 802.1X, what device is the authenticator?

No, because it is time consuming and expensive and the threat is rare

NO

Is POE Plus sufficient for desktop computers and most notebook computers?

If there is a single backup link it is easy multiple back up links increase difficulty

Is it easy or difficult to create backup links effectively with RSTP?

because having staff travel from switch to switch to manage them costs a significant amount of time and money

Ethernet Cables

What are RJ-45 connectors and jacks also called?

light signals that travel through fiber optic cable

What are the four benefits of using a central authentication server instead of having the individual authenticators do all the authentication work?

1)divide the 48 bits into twelve 4-bit units 2)convert each nibble into a hexadecimal symbol 3)write the symbols as six pairs with a dash between each pair

What are the steps in converting EUI-48 addresses into hex notation?

LLC subheader and the packet that the frame is delivering

What are two components of the Ethernet data field?

Allows for firms to remotely reconfigure switches

What benefit does strong security bring for manageability?

Simple Network Management Protocol

What communication protocol is used with manageable switches?

the information in its own switching table

What does a switch know?

850 nm because it travels far enough for the average LAN and is less expensive

What dominates in LANs? why?

receiver discards the frame

What happens if the receiver detects an error in a frame?

Only untwisting a pair 1.25 cm

What installation discipline can make terminal crosstalk interference a nonissue?

Power Over Ethernet Plus is an Ethernet switch that can provide both data and electrical power to connect devices

What is POE Plus?

networks that operate on a customer premises.

What is a local area network (LAN)?

When there is a single point of failure and it creates widespread disruption because there is only single paths for data to follow

What is a single point of failure?

different conditions that differentiate input

What is a state?

two signals traveling different distances because one travels straight and the other bounces from side to side

What is model dispersion?

Interference from other wire pairs within a bundle

What is terminal crosstalk interference?

full duplex transmission

What is the ability to transmit in both directions simultaneously called?

UTP is copper wire and Optical fiber is glass tubing. UTP has a distance limit of 100 meter while Optical fiber can carry signals far longer.

What is the advantage of optical fiber over UTP?

parallel transmission carries 4 bits per cycle while serial is only 1 bit per cycle

What is the average parallel transmission compared to serial transmission?

makes the process very fast and simple and inexpensive

What is the benefit of having a single possible path? explain

50 microns

What is the core diameter of multimode fiber?

8 or 9 microns

What is the core diameter of single mode fiber

the distance between successive wave heights, troughs, starts, stops

What is the definition of wavelength

Logical Link Control Layer has functionality that all 802 standards use to interact with the internet layer Media Access Control layer has functionality specific to a particular working group's core operation

What is the difference between LLC layer and MAC layer?

Binary has two states (conditions) which may be two voltage signals or light being turned on and off. Digital signals have few states there can be 32 to 256 states

What is the difference between binary and digital signalling?

workgroup switches connect hosts to the network core switches connect switches to other switches

What is the difference between the two types of Ethernet switches in terms of what they connect?

Access links connect hosts to workgroup switches Trunk lines connect switches to switches

What is the difference between the two types of Ethernet transmission link technologies in terms of what they connect?

802.11 Working Group

What is the name of its committee for developing LAN standards

describes the type of packet contained in the data field

What is the prupose of the LLC subheader?

802.3 Working Group

Which 802 working group creates ethernet standards?

Category 6A

Which can carry 10 Gbps Ethernet 100 meters?

802.1 Working Group

Which group develops security standards?

in order to differentiate when a new signal starts. for example if you want to signal 1111 you would use 4 clock signals so that the receiver knows that there is four different 1s instead of just one

Why are clock cycles necessary?

because there are multiple paths it can send data on it must take the time to decide the best possible route. This requires more data processing power and therefore costs more.

Why are routers expensive for the traffic volume they handle

because they are hosting many computers while workgroup switches are connecting one computer to the network

Why do core switches need more processing power than workgroup switches?

because it is less expensive and gets the job done

Why does multimode fiber dominate in ethernet LANS anyway?

to have the ability to transmit in two directions at the same time

Why does optical fiber cord have two strands?

Because it is inexpensive to have the fast transmission of data

Why has Ethernet become the dominant LAN technology?

it costs money to run electrical outlets to all the security and access point areas so being able to get power through Ethernet cable is beneficial and cost efficient

Why is POE Plus attractive to corporations

because there are two signals, even if the signal is changed slightly you can still tell which one is was supposed to be. If there are more than 2 it starts to become difficult to determine.

Why is binary transmission error-resistant?

Because if one part fail then it will cause widespread disruption in the system

Why is having a single possible path between any two hosts in an Ethernet network dangerous?

NO

do switches know the entire data link between the source and the destination host?

using two or more UTP or fiber trunk lines to connect a pair of switches

link aggregation

faster links are expensive

why may link aggregation be better than installing a faster link?

because it will slow down the internet considerably

why may link aggregation not be desirable if you will need several aggregated links to meet capacity requirements?
