APUS SCIENCE 138 WEEK 6 EXAM (LATEST 2024)
GRADED A+ WITH ANSWERS
Apple Filing Protocol - ANSWER: An outdated file access protocol used by early
editions of macOS by Apple, part of protocols found in AppleTalk networking suite of
protocols
anycast address - ANSWER: Using TCP/IP version 6, a type of IP address used by
routers that identifies multiple destinations
authentication server - ANSWER: Responsible for authenticating users or computers
to the network so they can use network resources
best-effort protocol - ANSWER: a TCP/IP protocol such as UDP that works at the OSI
Transport layer and does not guarantee delivery by first connecting and checking
where data is received. Also known as connectionless protocol
BNC connector - ANSWER: A connector used with thin coaxial cable. Some BNC
connectors. are T-shaped and called T-connectors. One end of the T connects to NIC,
and the two other ends can connect to cables or end a bus formation with a
terminator
Bridge - ANSWER: A device that stands between two segments of a network and
manages network traffic between them
broadcast message - ANSWER: Sent over a local network to all devices on the
network
cable stripper - ANSWER: A hand tool used to cut away the plastic jacket or coating
around the wires of a network cable
cable tester - ANSWER: A tool used to test a cable to find out if it is good or to find
out what type of cable it is if the cable is not labeled
CAT-5 - ANSWER: A rating used for unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables and is rated
for Fast Ethernet, but is seldom used today
CAT-5e - ANSWER: A rating used for unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables, rated for
Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, and is popular today
CAT-6 - ANSWER: A rating used for twisted-pair cables that has less crosstalk than
CAT-5e cables. CAT-6 cables might contain a plastic cord down the center of the
cable that helps to prevent crosstalk, but is less flexible and more difficult to install
than CAT-5e
, Classless Interdomain Routing notation - ANSWER: Expresses an IPv4 address and
subnet mask, the IP address is followed by a slash (/) and the number of bits in the IP
address that identifies the network
Common Internet File System - ANSWER: A file access protocol and the cross-
platform version of SMB used between Windows, Linux, macOS, and other operating
systems
connectionless protocol - ANSWER: A TCP/IP protocol such as UDP that works at the
OSI Transport layer and does not guarantee delivery by first connecting and checking
where data is received. Also known as best-effort protocol
connection-oriented protocol - ANSWER: A TCP/IP protocol that confirms a good
connection has been made before transmitting data to the other end, verifies the
data was received, and resends data if it was not received
crimper - ANSWER: A tool used to attach a terminator or connector to the end of a
cable
crossover cable - ANSWER: A cable used to connect two like devices such as a hub to
a hub or a computer to a computer (to make the simplest network of all). A
crossover cable is not rated for Gigabit Ethernet
DNS client - ANSWER: When Windows queries the DNS server for name resolution,
which means to find an AIP address for a computer when the fully qualified domain
name is known
domain name - ANSWER: Identifies a network and appears before the period in a
website address
endpoint device - ANSWER: A computer, laptop, smartphone, printer or other host
on a network
endpoint management server - ANSWER: Monitors various endpoint devices on a
network to ensure that endpoints are compliant with security requirements
Ethernet over Power - ANSWER: Also referred to powerline networking
Fast Ethernet - ANSWER: An Ethernet standard that operates at 100 Mbps and used
twisted-pair cabling up to 100 meters, also referred to as 100BaseT
file server - ANSWER: A computer dedicated to storing and serving up data files and
folders
fully qualified domain name - ANSWER: A host name and domain name that
identifies a computer and the network to which it belongs
