  1. 4. _____ mode; A communication mode in which a device can simultaneously transmit and receive data on the same cable connection
  2. 6. Broadcast _____; A network message intended to be processed by all devices on a LAN; it has the destination address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
  3. 9. default ____; a routing table entry that tells a router where to send a packet with a destination network address that can’t be found in the routing table.
  4. 10. A network message addressed to only one computer on the LAN.
  5. 11. A network device used to interconnect multiple computers;
  6. 12. Making a connection between devices such as two switches, usually for the purpose of expanding a network.
  7. 14. A network device that takes incoming signals and regenerates, or repeats, them to other parts of the network.
  8. 15. A network device that performs the same function as a repeater but has several ports to connect a number of devices
  9. 16. The acronym for The name assigned to a wireless network that is configured on the wireless access point.
  10. 17. _____ mode; A communication mode in which a device can send or receive data but can’t do both simultaneously

  1. 1. A signal an AP generates in response to a request-to-send signal.
  2. 2. _____ bandwidth; A property of switches in which each port’s bandwidth is dedicated to the devices connected to the port.
  3. 3. A table containing MAC address and port pairs that a switch uses to determine which port to forward frames it receives.
  4. 5. _____ mode; An operational mode of a NIC in which all frames are read and processed rather than only broadcast and unicast frames addressed to the NIC.
  5. 7. A signal used in wireless networks indicating that a computer has data ready to send on the network
  6. 8. Broadcast _____; The scope of devices to which broadcast frames are forwarded. Router interfaces delimit these because they don’t forward broadcasts.
  7. 11. Bandwidth ____; A network design in which interconnecting devices allow only one connected device to transmit data at a time, thus requiring devices to share available bandwidth.
  8. 12. A designated port on a hub or switch used to connect to another hub or switch without using a crossover cable.
  9. 13. Default _____; The address configured in a computer’s IP address settings specifying the address of a router to which the computer can send packets addressed to devices on other networks.
