What else can I help you with?
What is commonly used to restrict access to a network based on the physical hardware address of the clients network device?
You can enable MAC address (also know as Physical Address) filtering. MAC address filtering has two modes: 1. Allow access to listed MAC addresses 2. Deny access to listed MAC addresses.
Which network device can route packets based on intelligent decisions?
Switch
What technology is used to allow or deny traffic over the network based on the physical addresses of the devices?
MAC Filtering
What layer of the OSI model routes data different lLANs and WANs based on network addresses?
Physical Layer of OSI model
What is the primary purpose of ARP?
The primary purpose of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is to map an IP address to a MAC address in a local network. This allows devices on a network to communicate with each other using their unique MAC addresses. ARP is crucial for proper functioning of Ethernet-based networks.
What is a specialized device that allows multiple networks or multiple parts of one network to connect and exchange data?
Specialized Device for exchanging data amongst class based Networks & Subnetted (multiple parts of one network) is Router.
Which security device is used to monitor network traffic for illegal activities based on known attack-signatures?
NIDS
What connecting devices do you use for two or more connected networks?
For two or more connected networks you can use a bridgeto connect them all together.It depends on the two networks. A bridge can only connect two networks of the same type (eg Ethernet or Token-Ring), that also use the same layer 3 network address (eg IP subnet or IPX network #, or AppleTalk network #).A "gateway" device can connect two dissimilar types that share a network address, and a router can connect two networks of different network addresses whether or not they have the same network type.
Which network device makes forwarding decisions based on the destination MAC address that is contained in the frame?
Switches and Bridges
What devices is most efficient at moving packet between similar network topologies?
A router is the most efficient device at moving packets between similar network topologies. Routers operate at the network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model and are designed to determine the best path for packets to travel based on destination IP addresses. They use routing tables to make these decisions and can handle different types of network topologies, such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and fiber optic networks, making them versatile and efficient for packet forwarding.
Which device makes traffic forwarding decisions based on mac address?
A switch uses MAC address to forward frames while a router uses IP addresses.
Which device in a wireless local area network (WLAN) determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded toward its destination?
In a wireless local area network (WLAN), the device that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded is typically the wireless access point (WAP) or router. It uses routing protocols and information about the network topology to make forwarding decisions, directing packets toward their destination based on the best available path.
