Directions Complete as much of this assignment as possible. I will score this assignment out of 20 points and will award extra credit for scores up to 30. Part I. NETW111 Concepts 1. What is the responsibility of TCP and IP with the TCP/IP protocol suite? TCP provides a connection-oriented communication. IP is a routable protocol that is for routing, IP addressing, and reassemblies packets. It is also considered connection-less. 2. Describe each of these types of network communications? a. Unicast Communication from a single sender to a single user. b. Multicast Communication form a single sender to a select group of users. c. Broadcast Communication from a single sender to anyone within range. 3. What is the difference between static and dynamic routing? Static is a manually setup route and dynamic is an automatic route that is setup. 4. List the seven layers of the OSI model, in order if possible. Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application. 5. Provide 5 facts about MAC address. (Where its found, size, purpose, composition, other names) Found They are found on network adaptors or NICs. Size 6 or 8 groups of two hexadecimal digits. Purpose A unique identifier of the network adaptor. Composition 48 or 64-bit. Other Names Mac-48, EUI-48, EUI-64. 6. Convert 55 from decimal to binary (8 bit expression). Convert 10100110 to hexadecimal. 01010101 & A6 7. What differences exist between full and half duplex? What devices might use one over the other? Half sends info both ways but only one at a time Such as a Walkie-Talkie. Full sends info both ways at the same time Such as a phone.

Address Resolution Protocol points packets in the right direction through the hardware address. You can access it by going into the command prompt and typing arp a. 9. How does Token Ring handle collisions? How does Ethernet handle collisions? With token ring, there are only collisions if the ring is broken. That is because everything is sent one at a time. Ethernet discards the packets when there is a collision and then resends it at a different time interval. 10. Explain the difference between throughput, bandwidth and goodput. Bandwidth Transmission capacity. Throughput Actual level of traffic running across the network. Goodput Level of data successfully transmitted across the network. 11. List 3 media options. Twisted pair Coaxial cable Wireless Communication 12. List 3 factors should you consider when choosing a media. Range, Bandwidth, Cost 13. Why is a switch considered an intelligent device? Why is a hub not? A hub sends packets to everyone that is connected to it. A switch only sends packets to the device that requested it. 14. Define these terms and provide a networking situation where they are significant. a. Attenuation Reduced signal strength Wireless networking. b. Latency How much time it takes a packet to get to one place from another round trip. When using the internet accessing web pages.

Score: /20 c. Collision When two or more devices on the same network try to transmit data at the same time. Very common on hubs.

15. Give the name of these wireless standards and a brief explanation of each. a. 802.11 Wireless local area network. Used n home and business wireless networks. b. 802.15 Wireless personal are networks. Used in Bluetooth technology. c. 802.16 Wireless Metropolitan area networks. Used for WiMax cities that has a city wide wireless network. 16. Provide four ways TCP provides reliability and flow control to data as it traverses the WAN. TCP can move large chunks of data across the network without issuing many IP requests. IP is optimized for accurate delivery over timely delivery. TCP uses sequence numbering. Flow control limits the rate a sender can send to ensure accurate delivery. 17. Provide a very brief explanation for each of these protocols: DNS, DHCP, SMTP, FTP, Telnet DNS Associates various information with domain names. SMTP Internet standard for email over IP. DHCP Auto configure of IP addresses on a network. FTP Standard network protocol to transfer files over the network or Internet. Telnet Network protocol that uses bidirectional interactive text communications with a virtual interface. 18. Give 5 facts about an IP address. (size, classes, composition, purpose, types) Size 128 bits Classes A, B, C, D, E Composition 000.000.000.000 Purpose acts as a locator for one IP device to find another. Types internal address and external address.

Define each of these, as they pertain to networking: scalability, quality of service, fault tolerance Scalability have enough IP address for the company to grow and add computers. QoS Give different network priorities to different applications. Fault tolerance Fail safe design of your network. 20. What is subnetting? Why is it done? It is a subdivision of an IP network. It can enhance routing efficiency and uses space more efficiently. Part II. IP Addressing Review 1. List the IP address ranges (start to finish) for these different classes of IP Networks. a. Class A 1.0.0.1 to 126.255.255.254 b. Class B 128.1.0.1 to 191.255.255.254 c. Class C 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 2. List the Private IP address ranges for each class. a. Class A 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 b. Class B 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 c. Class C 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 3. What three things are configured on a host (on a LAN) for it to make use of an Internet connection? IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway 4. What are the three types of IP addresses? (Hint: Two of these cannot be assigned to a PC) Unicast, Multicast, Anycast 5. When might we assign a static IP versus a dynamic IP address? On a machine that is shared and you dont want the IP to change. Such as an office printer. 6. Who keeps track of public IP addresses? Why is this important? IANA They keep track of every IP Address and DNS so everyone can have reliable Internet access. 7. What is the purpose of a routing table? Where is it found? A routing table lists the routes to particular network destinations. It is found on the router or a networked computer that is setup to be a routing table. 8. IP address composition. Answer these short questions about IP addresses. a. An IP address is composed of how many octets? 4 b. What number range is possible within an octet? 0 to 255

Score: /20 c. What is the biggest difference between IPv4 and IPv6? V6 uses letter A H as well as numbers and allows many more users.

9. Given a class C network, 217.1.2.0, and the need for four smaller networks of 50 hosts each, explain how you would use subnetting to solve this networking dilemma. Provide the IP address ranges for all four networks. (Call them North, South, East and West) I would split the network into a /26 which would give you 4 subnets that can have up to 62 host on each. North 217.1.2.0 217.1.2.63 Subnet 255.255.255.192 South 217.1.2.64 217.1.2.127 Subnet 255.255.255.192 East 217.1.2.128 217.1.2.191 Subnet 255.255.255.192 West 217.1.2.192 217.1.2.255 Subnet 255.255.255.192

10. What subnet mask would you use for a network with 1000 hosts on it? Provide your answer in both dotted decimal (Example: 255.255.255.0) and slash (prefix) notation. (Example: /24) 255.255.252.0 /22
