At which OSI layer does a computer determine if the packet is intended for it on a 10BaseT Network?
The Network Layer
What network requires an access point?
Packet-switching
What network types requires an access point?
Packet-switching
Wireless networks are no more vulnerable to packet sniffers than any other type of network?
False
What does a sniffer program do?
A packet sniffer uses a network connection in promiscuous mode to receive and record packets that were not intended for that computer. This can be used by a network administrator to monitor a network and find potential security problems. It can also be used by a hacker to access privileged information that is sent un-encrypted through the network.

What is a single hop wireless network?
The word "hop" means a short jump on one foot. In wireless networks, data packets find their paths through routers or in general gateways. Each time a packet is passed to the next router a "hop" occurs. The function of intermediate hops is to relay data from one hop to the next one. Therefore in a wireless network, single-hop means that there is only one hop between source station and destined host. Wireless stations are connected to wireless access points (WAPs) which connects to router via a wired network. In other words, host connects to base station (i.e. wireless access point such as WiFi, WiMAX, cellular) which connects to larger network (e.g. Internet).
What does SSID stands for?
SSID stands for Service Set Identifiers. SSID is a type of wireless network internet connection. These wireless Web access points can produce signals up to 120 ft. This means users in neighborhoods and buildings will see several networks. The availablity of SSID's are in various types. The most basic is an ASCII set of characters that is only for that wireless router. The typical identifier is the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the router. SSID's are most usually designated at the setup configuration of the wireless access point. Many WAPs possess functions which can be used during the installation. Users can name the access points as they see fit. To make usage even more easier, a unique name is assigned.
A network administrator is using an application that is monitoring packets on the network and sees an EIGRP update packet What is the purpose of the update packet?
bobo The packet is sent to discover neighbors within the EIGRP network. The packet is sent to search for network devices within an EIGRP network. The packet is used to propagate routing information within the EIGRP network. The packet is used to send an unreachable reply to another router within the EIGRP network.
What is the purpose of the TCPIP Network Access layer?
The purpose of the TCP/IP Network Access layer is to handle the physical transmission of data on the network, including addressing, routing, and flow control. It is responsible for converting data into signals for transmission and vice versa, ensuring that data is transmitted correctly between devices on the network.
What is an IP packet?
An IP packet is a network data packet using Internet Protocol (IP) format.
Difference between packet sniffing and packet spoofing?
Passive wiretapping, usually on a local area network, to gain knowledge of passwords. Attempt by an unauthorized entity to gain access to a system by posing as an authorized user is spoofing
