If you insert a Network Interface Card (NIC) but fail to seat it deeply enough in the PCs circuit board, your PC will experience network problems at which layer? |
Physical |
|
Repeaters and hubs operate at which level? |
Physical |
|
The physical layer is concerned with the movement of _____ over the physical medium? |
bits |
|
What best describes the function of the physical layer? |
It sends data through the medium and relies on hardware such as: a NIC |
|
At which layer are data blocks packaged into individual frames? |
Data Link |
|
The IEEE expanded the OSI Model by separating which layer into two sub layers? |
Data Link |
|
Bits are packaged into fames at this layer? |
Data Link |
|
The data link layer is only able to do what with errors? |
Detect errors |
|
What are the sublayers of the data link layer? |
Logical link control (LLC) & Media access control (MAC) |
|
The Network layer passes the data blocks, with their addressing identifications, to which layer? |
Data link |
|
What device operates at the Data Link layer of the OSI model? |
switches |
|
What protocal maps a logical address to a MAC address? |
ARP |
|
The Network layer adds addressing info to the data it receives from which layer? |
transport layer |
|
The Network uses physical addresses to route data to destination hosts. T or F? |
False: The network uses logical address to route data to destination hosts |
|
IP is implemented at which OSI layer? |
Network |
|
Which layer translates between the Physical MAC and logical addressing? |
Network layer |
|
Bridges operate at which layer of the OSI model? |
Network |
|
Which OSI layer routes data by the best path to specific network destinations? |
Network layer |
|
What protocols operate at the network layer in the OSI model? |
IP, ARP, RIP, OSPF |
|
What layer of the OSI model provides connectivity and path selection between 2 end systems where routing occurs? |
Network |
|
What operates at the network layer of the OSI model? |
Routers |
|
What layer is sometimes compared to a telephone operator? |
Session |
|
One of the Session layer's functions is to synchronize the dialog between the 2 nodes. T or F? |
TRUE |
|
Which layer establishes, maintains, & terminates communication between apps located on different devices? |
Session, Layer 5 |
|
The Presentation layer compresses or encrypts data and passes the request onto which layer? |
Session, Layer 5 |
|
The primary function of protocols at the session layer is to translate network address into their physical counterparts and decide how to route data from the sender to the receiver. T or F? |
False |
|
What are some of the responsibilities the session layer provides? |
Communication link, & duration of session |
|
What IP headers decide when the packet should be discarded? |
Time To Live (TTL) |
|
Transport layer services break arbitrarily long packets into? |
Maximum Transmission Units (MTU's) |
|
What is the process by which the Transport Layer service of the sending node divides the sending node's data, and assigns numbers to each piece so that the data can be reassembled in the correct order by the receiving node's Transport later service? |
Segmentation |
|
The Transport later passes the data blocks, one at a time, to which layer? |
Network |
|
What protocol does the transport layer use? |
TCP/UDP |
|
Flow control takes place at which layer? |
Transport |
|
Error detection and error correction takes place at which layer? |
Transport |
|
Packets are found at this layer? |
Transport (although they are found at the network layer as well)
*Transport layer deals with segments, however, they also deal with packets when the network layer passes it the transport layer. |
|

|
In the OSI model, what is the main function of the transport layer? |
Node to node delivery |
|
OSI layer responsible for error checking frames & adding MAC addresses to its tables? |
Transport |
