What is Active Directory?

Active Directory is a network-based object store and service that locates and manages resources, and makes these
resources available to authorized users and groups. An underlying principle of the Active Directory is that everything is
considered an object—people, servers, workstations, printers, documents, and devices. Each object has certain attributes

Anonymous FTP enables users to connect to a host without using a valid login and password. Usually, anonymous FTP uses
a login called anonymous or guest, with the password usually requesting the user's ID for tracking purposes only.

6
Anonymous FTP is used to enable a large number of users to access files on the host without having to go to the trouble of
setting up logins for them all. Anonymous FTP systems usually have strict controls over the areas an anonymous user can
access.

External Data Representation is a method of encoding data within an RPC message, used to ensure that the data is not
system-dependent.

What is topology?
A topology defines how the devices are connected. Further it is divided in physical and logical topology.

What is difference between physical and logical topology?

A physical topology describes how devices are physically cabled together.
A logical topology describes how devices communicate across the physical topology

How many types of topology are available?

A point-to-point topology has a single connection between two devices.
In a star topology, a central device has many point-to-point connections to other devices.
A bus topology uses a single connection or wire to connect all devices.
In a ring topology, device one connects to device two, device two connects to device three, and so on to the last device,
which connects back to device one.

1. Define Network?

A network is a set of devices connected by physical media links. A network is recursively is a connection of two or more
nodes by a physical link or two or more networks connected by one or more nodes.

15. Define Bandwidth and Latency?

Network performance is measured in Bandwidth (throughput) and Latency (Delay). Bandwidth of a network is given by
the number of bits that can be transmitted over the network in a certain period of time. Latency corresponds to how long
it t5akes a message to travel from one end off a network to the other. It is strictly measured in terms of time.

16. Define Routing?

The process of determining systematically hoe to forward messages toward the destination nodes based on its address is
called routing.

17. What is a peer-peer process?

The processes on each machine that communicate at a given layer are called peer-peer process.

18. When a switch is said to be congested?

It is possible that a switch receives packets faster than the shared link can accommodate and stores in its memory, for
an extended period of time, then the switch will eventually run out of buffer space, and some packets will have to be
dropped and in this state is said to congested state.

19. What is semantic gap?

Defining a useful channel involves both understanding the applications requirements and recognizing the limitations of
the underlying technology. The gap between what applications expects and what the underlying technology can provide
is called semantic gap.

20. What is Round Trip Time?

The duration of time it takes to send a message from one end of a network to the other and back, is called RTT.

21. Define the terms Unicasting, Multiccasting and Broadcasting?

If the message is sent to some subset of other nodes, it is called Multicasting.
If the message is sent to all the m nodes in the network it is called Broadcasting.

22. What is Multiplexing?

Multiplexing is the set of techniques that allows the simultaneous transmission of multiple signals across a single data
link.

10
What is IP?

It's a unique 32 bits software address of a node in a network.

What is private IP?

Three ranges of IP addresses have been reserved for private address and they are not valid for use on the Internet. If you
want to access internet with these address you must have to use proxy server or NAT server (on normal cases the role of
proxy server is played by your ISP.). If you do decide to implement a private IP address range, you can use IP addresses
from any of the following classes:

Class A 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255

Class B 172.16.0.0 172.31.255.255

Class C 192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255

What is public IP address?

A public IP address is an address leased from an ISP (internet service provider) that allows or enables direct Internet
communication.

What's the benefit of subnetting?

Reduce the size of the routing tables.

Reduce network traffic. Broadcast traffic can be isolated within a single logical network.

Provide a way to secure network traffic by isolating it from the rest of the network.

What are the differences between static ip addressing and dynamic ip addressing?

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.

What is APIPA?

Automatic private IP addressing (APIPA) is a feature mainly found in Microsoft operating systems. APIPA enables clients to
still communicate with other computers on the same network segment until an IP address can be obtained from a DHCP
server, allowing the machine to fully participate on the network. The range of these IP address are the 169.254.0.1 to
169.254.255.254 with a default Class B subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.

What are the LMHOSTS files?

11
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.

What is DHCP scope?

A scope is a range, or pool, of IP addresses that can be leased to DHCP clients on a given subnet.

What is FQDN?

An FQDN contains (fully qualified domain name) both the hostname and a domain name. It uniquely identifies a host within
a DNS hierarchy

What is the DNS forwarder?

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.

Which command will you use to find out the name of the pc in networks?

Describe Various Network Type

Local Area Networks Local area networks (LANs) are used to connect networking devices that are in a very close
geographic area, such as a floor of a building, a building itself, or a campus environment.

Wide Area Networks Wide area networks (WANs) are used to connect LANs together. Typically, WANs are used when the
LANs that must be connected are separated by a large distance.

Metropolitan Area Networks A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a hybrid between a LAN and a WAN.

12
Content Networks Content networks (CNs) were developed to ease users’ access to Internet resources. Companies deploy
basically two types of CNs:

1.Caching downloaded Internet information

2.Distributing Internet traffic loads across multiple servers

Storage Area Networks Storage area networks (SANs) provide a high-speed infrastructure to move data between storage
devices and file servers.

Advantage

Performance is fast.

Availability is high because of the redundancy features available.

Distances can span up to 10 kilometers.

Management is easy because of the centralization of data resources.

Overhead is low (uses a thin protocol).

Disadvantage of SANs is their cost.

Intranet An intranet is basically a network that is local to a company. In other words, users from within this company can
find all of their resources without having to go outside of the company. An intranet can include LANs, private WANs and
MANs,

Extranet An extranet is an extended intranet, where certain internal services are made available to known external users or
external business partners at remote locations.

Internet An internet is used when unknown external users need to access internal resources in your network. In other
words, your company might have a web site that sells various products, and you want any external user to be able to access
this service.

VPN A virtual private network (VPN) is a special type of secured network. A VPN is used to provide a secure connection
across a public network, such as an internet. Extranets typically use a VPN to provide a secure connection between a
company and its known external users or offices. Authentication is provided to validate the identities of the two peers.
Confidentiality provides encryption of the data to keep it private from prying eyes. Integrity is used to ensure that the data
sent between the two devices or sites has not been tampered with.
