HELP STUDENTS LEARN NETWORKING

1) A user types http://www.cisco.com into a web browser address textbox. What doeshttp://www.cisco.com represent?
* the IP address of a web server
a physical network address
the closest router interface to the source
the source IP address in the data transmission

2) What type of server would use IMAP?
DNS
DHCP
* e-mail
FTP
Telnet
web

3) Which type of server would most likely be used first by a network client in a corporate environment?
DNS
* DHCP
e-mail
FTP
Telnet
web

4) Which protocol is used by FTP to transfer files over the Internet?
* TCP
SMTP
UDP
SNMP

5) Which protocols are TCP/IP application layer protocols? (Choose two.)
UDP
* FTP
IP
* SMTP
TCP

6) Which of the following are layers of the TCP/IP model? (Choose three.)
* Application
Physical
* Internet
* Network Access
Presentation

7) You are creating a network-based video game. What influences your decision about which transport protocol to use for the application?
* UDP will not disrupt the game to retransmit dropped packets.
TCP provides extra acknowledgements that will ensure smooth video delivery.
Both TCP and UDP can be used simultaneously to ensure speed and guaranteed delivery.
Both TCP and UDP may slow transmission and disrupt game operation, so no transport protocol should be used.

8) Whenever e-mail clients send letters, what device is used to translate the domain names into their associated IP addresses?
Uniform Resource Locator
Network redirector server
SNMP server
* DNS server

9) Which application is most likely used to translate http://www.cisco.com to 198.133.219.25?
DHCP
* DNS
FTP
HTTP
POP
SMTP

10)


















Refer to the graphic. Which protocol is used to access this website?
IM
FTP
* HTTP
SNMP
VoIP

11) Which port number is used by SMTP?
20
21
* 25
26
110

12) Which protocol is used by e-mail servers to communicate with each other?
FTP
HTTP
TFTP
* SMTP
POP
SNMP

13) What client software enables logged in users to communicate with other logged in users in real time?
blog
e-mail
web mail
* instant messaging

14) An Internet server is running both FTP and HTTP services. How does the server know which of these applications should handle an incoming segment?
The packet header identifies it as an HTTP or FTP packet.
The data in the segment is specially formatted for either HTTP or FTP.
* The segment destination port number identifies the application that should handle it.
The source port number is associated with one of these well known server applications.

15) What term is used to describe how TCP/IP protocols are layered and interact to format, address, and transmit information across a network?
protocol hierarchy
protocol modeling
* protocol stack
protocol layering

16) hat three items are contained in an Ethernet frame? (Choose three.)
source IP address
* source MAC address
destination IP address
* destination MAC address
* error-checking information

17) What information is contained in an IP header?
* source and destination IP addresses
source and destination MAC addresses
only destination IP and MAC addresses
both source and destination IP and MAC addresses

18) Cabling issues are associated with which OSI layer?
4
2
* 1
3

19) A device receives an Ethernet frame and recognizes the MAC address as its own. What does the device do to the message to get to the encapsulated data?
removes the IP header
removes the TCP header
passes data to the application layer
* removes the Ethernet header and trailer

20) A client has decoded a frame and started the de-encapsulation process. In which order does the de-encapsulation process occur?
1) remove IP header
2) remove Ethernet header and trailer
3) remove TCP header
4) pass data to the application

1) add TCP header to data
2) add an IP header
3) add frame header and trailer
4) encode the frame into bits

* 1) remove Ethernet header and trailer
2) remove IP header
3) remove TCP header
4) pass data to the application

1) add TCP header to data
2) add Ethernet header and trailer
3) add an IP header
4) encode the frame into bits

21) What is an advantage of the use of layers in the OSI reference model?
It breaks network communications into larger parts.
It increases complexity.
* It prevents changes in one layer from affecting other layers.
It requires the use of single-vendor equipment for hardware and software communications.

22) What is the correct order of the layers of the OSI reference model, starting at the lowest layer and working up the model?
data link, physical, transport, network, presentation, session, application
physical, data link, network, session, transport, presentation, application
physical, data link, network, transport, presentation, session, application
* physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, application
application, session, presentation, transport, data link, network, physical
