Correct Answer: The LMHOSTS file is a static method of resolving NetBIOS names to IP addresses in the same way that the HOSTS file is a static method of resolving domain names into IP addresses An LMHOSTS file is a text file that maps NetBIOS names to IP addresses; it must be manually configured and updated
2. What are the differences between static ip addressing and dynamic ip addressing?
Correct Answer: With static IP addressing, a computer (or other device) is configured to always use the same IP address With dynamic addressing, the IP address can change periodically and is managed by a centralized network service
Correct Answer: The internet address( IP address) is 32bits that uniquely and universally defines a host or router on the internet The portion of the IP address that identifies the network is called netid The portion of the IP address that identifies the host or router on the network is called hostid
Correct Answer: TDM is a digital process that can be applied when the data rate capacity of the transmission medium is greater than the data rate required by the sending and receiving devices
Correct Answer: WDM is conceptually the same as FDM, except that the multiplexing and demultiplexing involve light signals transmitted through fiber optics channel
Correct Answer: DNS servers often must communicate with DNS servers outside of the local network A forwarder is an entry that is used when a DNS server receives DNS queries that it cannot resolve locally It then forwards those requests to external DNS servers for resolution
7. What is the Routing Information Protocol or RIP?
Correct Answer: RIP is a is an interior gateway protocol that was often used in interior networks and in some degree in internet networks It helps the router adapt to the modifications that are made in a network regarding connections Now it become less used since more efficient protocols were implemented like OSPF or IS-IS It is limited to a lower number of routers, a maximum of fifteen router
Correct Answer: In Stop and wait protocol, sender sends one frame, waits until it receives confirmation from the receiver (okay to go ahead), and then sends the next frame
9. What is usage of Sequence Number in Relaible Transmission?
Correct Answer: The protocol specifies that frames need to be numbered This is done by using sequence numbers A field is added to the data frame to hold the sequence number of that frame Since we want to minimize the frame size, the smallest range that provides unambiguous communication The sequence numbers can wrap around
