Across
  1. 2. A computer that provides email services to a network.
  2. 4. A class designation (A through E) that specifies a default subnet mask value which defines the default network address portion of the IP address.
  3. 5. A group of networked computers that are physically close together, usually in the same building.
  4. 8. A computer that provides a gaming environment that tracks events in multiplayer video games.
  5. 11. A network of interconnected LANs across a large geographical location.
  6. 13. A computer component that provides a port (usually RJ-45) where a network cable can be connected.
  7. 16. A small network device with modem, firewall, routing, and switching features that is used in homes and small businesses.
  8. 18. Short for modulator/demodulator, a network device that converts digital signals used by modern networks to analog signals that are typically carried by telephone or cable television lines.
  9. 19. A network device that moves traffic between two different IP networks.
  10. 23. A network device that connects wireless devices to a wired network.
  11. 24. A cable that provides connectivity between networkdevices. A common network cable connects a computer's network interface with a wall jack.
  12. 26. An address assigned by software and, as such, can be changed. It includes two parts, the network address and the host address.
  13. 27. A network topology in which all the devices are connected to each other by a single central cable.
  14. 29. A network that covers a larger geographical area than a LAN, but is usually as large as a WAN. The term generally refers to smaller networks that are connected throughout a city into one larger, centralized network.
Down
  1. 1. A technology used to create wireless connections between computers and devices.
  2. 3. A computer that stores databases, which are huge repositories of organized data.
  3. 6. A network topology in which each host is connected to two other hosts in a circle.
  4. 7. A technology that uses specially encoded tags that respond in a specific way when scanned by a radio frequency reader. NFC is often used by placing a smartphone near a scanner to pay for an item in a store.
  5. 9. A host on a network that consumes network services.
  6. 10. A network device that moves traffic within an IP network.
  7. 12. A network topology in which devices are not connected to each other but rather to a centralized device called a switch.
  8. 14. A host on a network that provides network services.
  9. 15. A computer that stores web pages and hypertext documents and transmits them to devices requesting these pages.
  10. 17. The principal communications protocol in the internet protocol suite that is used to route information over the internet.
  11. 20. A computer that provides network access to shared disk storage.
  12. 21. MAC address.
  13. 22. A network security device that protects a network by examining the traffic before transferring it to the network.
  14. 25. A network topology where each device on the network has a point-to-point connection to every other device on the network.
  15. 28. A device, usually located on a building wall, that provides a port (usually RJ-45) where a network cable can be connected. On the hidden side of a wall jack is wiring to a patch panel or to a network device.
