Some help on my network infrastructure final study guide?

[Theminecraftaddict555]

So in my network infrastructure concepts class, we are given a final exam study guide for our final written exam, and it is open note

 

It states what topic notes we need and what tells us we what we need to identify and specify on

 

So far I checked off a lot of things that are going to be covered on the final exam since I have notes for those already but here are some things on the study guide I'm having problem with

 

1.Specify straight through, cross over, and roll over patch cable connection applications? Does it want me to specify which cable connects to what device?

2.Identify options to consider when picking a branch router?

3.Identify what to look for when picking a campus LAN switch?

4. Identify and tell the difference of fiber media infrastructure and applications?

5.identify proper fiber optic cable practices

1. there asking you in what cases would you use a cross over a roll over a straight though cable. for example a cross over for would be connecting 2 computers withought something like a switch in between.

1.

• Straight through: Standard network host device to switch connectivity e.g. Computer to network switch/patch panel/wall outlet
• Cross-over: Network connectivity between like network devices, Host to Host or Switch to Switch, where the ports are not Auto Sensing/MDX or are not Gbps
• Rollover: Connecting a computer serial port to the console port of a network switch to configure it

2.

• Routing protocol support: OSPF (version), RIP, BGP, IS-IS, EIGRP, Policy Routing, Static Routing
• Maximum supported routing speed in standard IPv4, IPv6, SSL/IPSec/VPN
• Number of ports and their connectivity speed
• Protocol support for Site-to-Site connectivity: GRE, L2TP/VPN, VPLS/MPLS
• Firewall features: Stateful or Stateless, UTM, SSL Inpsection

3.

• Number of ports and their speed
• Any dedicated uplink ports and their speed e.g. 10Gbps/40Gbps
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) protocol standard support. Maximum PoE power draw over all ports. Maximum PoE power draw from a single port
• Layer 2, Layer 3 or Layer 3+
• Stacking, Virtual Stacking or Non-Stacking
• Maximum switching performance and maximum routing performance (if Layer 3/3+)
• Single or Dual power supply

4.

• Fibre Ethernet (Ethernet over Fibre): Standard Ethernet networking transported over optical media. Used for long distance connectivity between network cabinets or where medium distance very high speed is required
• Fibre Channel (FC): High speed network primarily used for data storage networking.
• Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)/Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET): Used for transporting digital bit streams over optical media. Used in the telecommunications industry as a way to transport many different protocols over optical medium: POTS & ATM, Ethernet & IP etc

5. (Not sure read your class notes)

• Always use dust caps/covers when ports/cables are not in use
• Do not look in to the ends of the ports/cables
• Do not over bend cables
• Do not over fasten cables to objects, use Velcro ties rather than plastic cable ties
