25 Questions

1. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - developed ARPAnet in 1969

2. A computer that handles requests for data - e- mail - file transfers - and other network services from other computers (clients)

3. A term used to describe a short - connectorized cable that can serve several different purposes in different contexts - such as linking together two MAUs or connecting a network device - such as switch - to a patch panel

4. File Transfer Protocol

5. Local Area Network

6. Also called 10Base5. Bus network that uses a thick coaxial cable and runs Ethernet up to 500 meters.

7. Copper cable with RJ-45 connectors in which the wire at pin 1 on one end is connected to pin 1 on the other end; the wire at pin 2 is connected to pin 2 on the other end; and so on.

8. A protocol for communication between individual computers and the Internet.

9. Base-2 number system that is used as the base for computer code.

10. Temporarily stores new messages on an e- mail server.

11. A physical and data layer technology for LAN networking

12. Personal area network

13. Model for understanding and developing computer- to- computer communication developed in the 80s by ISO; divides networking functions among 7 layers.

14. An IP address reserved for communicating from a node to itself (used mostly for troubleshooting purposes). The IPv4 loopback address is always cited as 127.0.0.1 - although in fact - transmitting to any IP address whose first octet is 127 will contac

15. Person working on the computer

16. The physical layout of a computer network

17. An intelligent connecting device that examines each packet of data it receives and then decides which way to send it onward toward its destination.

18. Twisted pair patch cable in which the termination locations of the transmit and receive wires on one end of the cable are reversed

19. Taking a system and using it as a distribution system for other systems.

20. Unshielded Twisted Pair does not have a grounded outer copper shield. UTP cables are easier to work with and are less expensive than shielded cables. Example: RJ-45.

21. An expansion card used for networking.

22. A junction where information arrives from connected computers or peripheral devices and is then forwarded in one or more directions to other.

23. A TCP/IP network that uses addresses starting between 1 and 126 and supports up to 126 subnets with 16 -777 -214 unique hosts each.

24. Ethernet connector

25. A device for transmitting data on a network. A switch makes decisions - based on the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the data - as to where the data is to be sent.
