Private IP Address ranges: 10.0.0.0 and 172.0.0.0.

UTP Max Distance: 100m

Connection Oriented Protocols: TCP and SPX; not IPX or UDP.

NTFS Permission to Change/Delete Contents: Modify

Layer-2 Device responsible for forwarding traffic to the segment where the destination exists: Bridge

Repeaters operate at Layer 1 (Physical) of the OSI Model.

A NIC with an external transceiver operates on the Data Link Layer.

Piece of software responsible for connecting to the server: Redirector

Layer-3 Protocols: IP and IPX

Layer-4 Protocols: TCP and SPX

OSI layer responsible for Formatting data: Presentation layer

Command to create a user account in Linux: adduser

Speed of Thinnet and Thicknet: 10 Mbps

On a Thicknet network, there can be only 1 ground, and drop cables use AUI connectors.

Maximum distance for a Thicknet network: 2,460 meters

Minimum distance between devices on a 10Base2 (Thinnet) network is:

0.5 meters.

Maximum distance for a Thinnet network: 925 meters

100BaseTX networks use either Type 1A STP or CAT 5 UTP cable.

DB-9 cable connectors can be used with STP cable in a 100BaseTX network

Cut-through (forwarding technology) Switches do not wait for the entire packet; they forward data as soon as
it arrives, for faster transmission.

Broadband: Transmitting multiple signals over a single cable; Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) is
used by Broadband.
In token ring networks, MAUs are connected by Patch Cables

ifconfig eth0 up or ifup eth0: Enables an interface in Linux/Unix

To monitor print queues in Unix, use the LPQ utility

Appletalk phase 1 supports a maximum of 254 hosts; phase 2 supports 253 nodes per network ID, but each
segment can be assigned a range of network IDs.

Atps.nlm (Appletalk Print Service) should be loaded on a Netware server to print from Macintosh clients.

The OSPF protocol is only used by TCP/IP and IPX/SPX.

TCP ensures data integrity by segmentation and acknowledgment, and controlling the rate at which packets are
sent (flow control).

Static Routing is handled by IP; routing tables are defined by the network administrator; RIP is a dynamic
routing protocol.

IP, IPX, and ICMP all operate at the Network Layer of the OSI Model.

Ethernet networks use the Spanning Tree bridging method.

Token Ring networks use the Source Routing bridging method.

IMAP allows a mail server to hold messages for the user/client.

Static ARP entry syntax: ARP –s <IP Address> <MAC Address>

Common TCP Ports:

NTP – 123
SNMP – 161
IMAP4 – 143
Telnet – 23
SMTP – 25
FTP – 20, 21
TFTP – 69
HTTP – 80
SSL (HTTPS) – 443

Top Level Domain examples are .com, .net and .org.

A new DHCP client will use IP address 0.0.0.0 to obtain an address.

SONET speeds are classified in multiples of 51.85 Mbps.

OC3 connection speed is 155 mbps.
