A router connects multiple computers together and transmits data to its correct destination on a network.
How do you install software from other computers?
it is very dificult to do that so i would sugest finding out the programs and softwares that you want and go download or by them yourself. or you have to go through a long and hard process of sending through the computer cables and that takes forever. so the other way is easier. :D
What is the command to ping a IP address indefinitely?
ping -t 10.3.9.42
To ping the server at 10.3.9.42 you have to:
For Windows XP:
Open the start menu, click on "Run..." then type cmd then press enter or
click OK.
For Windows Vista:
Open the start menu, and type cmd then press enter.
This will send a very small file to the server (ping), and then it sends it back 4 times (pong). After this process it will show you how long it took to receive the data, how many of them timed out, the average time, and the highest and lowest time.
Where is a MAC address stored in a Switch?
Switches store the MAC addresses in an internal database called MAC Address Table. The entries in that table can be addresses learned by the switch or that can be entered manually by the switch administrator. This table is analogy to a router's routing table, only a switch operates at layer 2 whereas the router operate at Layer 3.
Which two causes of networking problems are related to the physical layer?
incorrect MAC address false<
true>
disconnected cablesimproper operation of cooling fans
What is also called the host computer?
Host computer is a central computer or server which connected all other devices within a network.
Computers listen to the network for clearance to send data.
What three network devices operate at the Data-link layer of the OSI?
The network layer or layer 3 is where you would expect to find routers or possibly layer 3 switches. The network layer is the point where different networks can converge. Routing tables held on layer 3 devices are the path out of the network. If you look at your ipconfig information with the /all switch you will see an address given for default gateway. This will point to the router that is aware of all other networks or sub networks you have access to. In the home this is usually the inside or private address of your DSL or cable modem.
I understand some bridges operate at layer 3 as well.
At layer 3 Ethernet frames are formed into packets in preparation for routing between networks or sub networks.
Because the OSI layer is as implied open there are many examples of software and hardware that can operate at the network layer but router would be the best answer most of the time.
How do you find out your Mac address?
From the Start button menu, select Run In the dialogue box, type: cmd and press the Enter key At the prompt, type: ipconfig /all The MAC address will be referred to as the Physical Address and is made up of 12 characters e.g. 00-D1-AB-F2-G3-89 Your MAC address is unique to your PC, and Information Services needs it to register your machine on the campus network. The IP address will also be listed on previously networked PCs. Your computer's name will be the Host Name
Select My Network Places on Desktop>Right Click>Properties>Double Click Lan>Support Tab>Details Button
Here u will find Mac or Physical Address
From the Start button menu, select Run In the dialogue box, type: cmd and press the Enter key At the prompt, type: Getmac The MAC address will be referred to as the Physical Address and is made up of 12 characters e.g. 00-D1-AB-F2-G3-89. NOTE: I don't believe the getmac command is a native command to NT/2000/XP, I believe it comes with the applicable resource kit but can be downloaded from Microsoft.
Here's a dirty trick if you can't get to a cmd window. (Some computers are so configured, presumably so you can't hurt yourself.) Open notepad, enter the following line
ipconfig/all > ipout.txt
Then save it to your desktop as ipfind.cmd. Go to your desktop, double click the icon labeled ipfind.cmd. A new icon called ipout will be created. Look in there for the physical address as described above.
Mac OSI opened up the AppleTalk Triangle, and found the Physical Address there. This is OS 9.2.2 on a ibook.
1. Click the Start menu button on the Windows taskbar. 2. Click 'Run...' on this menu. 3. Type 'cmd' in the text box that appears. A command prompt window launches on the desktop. 4. In this command window, type 'ipconfig /all'. Details are shown for each of the computer's network adapters. Computers installed with VPN software or emulation software will possess one or more virtual adapters. 5. The 'IP Address' field states the current IP address for that network adapter. 6. The 'Physical Address' field states the MAC address for that adapter.
Example C:\>getmac Physical Address Transport Name ============================================= 00-D0-B7-B1-A7-14 \Device\Tcpip_{474E507B-4FCD-428C-A553-304B997C4D96}
Your MAC address is hardcoded to the networking devices, Ethernet, WiFi card, Bluetooth card, etc, and gives it a unique number, no two are the same.
Probably the easiest way to find it would be to go to System Preferances/ Network/ select Advanced/ then upper menu Hardware.
You need to select the Location on the left first to find which one you want, the ethernet, WiFi, etc.
What protocol assists in determining whether packets reach their intended destination?
The Answer is ICMP - A core protocol in the TCP/IP suite that notifies the sender that something has gone wrong in the transmission process and that packets were not delivered. Page 177. Networks + Guide to Networks 5th edition.
What is absolute bandwidth and effective bandwidth?
Absolute bandwidth is the relative bandwidth of the signal (B) times the center frequency (f0).
For example , by increasing the center frequency, the relative bandwidth is unchanged, but the absolute bandwidth is increased due to increasing the center frequency.
I hope it is helpful :-)
MM Fiber Max Distance Ethernet?
The maximum speed Ethernet of mm fiber has a transmission speed of 100 Mbit/s. The Ethernet mm fiber increases the speed from 10 to 100 megabits per second.
Which is the MAIN advantage of using a network system in the office?
Adavantage sof computes in the office
1.Reduction in the data loss.
2.Maintenance of the records more quickly,accurately and easily.
3. storage of large amount of data.
4. Data Mistakes can be easily solved just by one click.
5. Accessibility of internet is an added advantage. one can get large amount of information on internet.
Advantages of computer networks:
Share resources, such as data, printers and connections (like the internet).
Centralize data for economy and security.
data processing,data storage,data movement and control.
Which protocol is used to automatically configure network devices?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network. The system administrator assigns a range of IP addresses to DHCP and each client computer on the LAN has its TCP/IP software configured to request an IP address from the DHCP server. The request and grant process uses a lease concept with a controllable time period.
What network topology is mostly used in homes and businesses?
The network in the secondary building should also be star topology. It is the most common and very reliable. There will be twelve desktop computers in the building which should be connected to each other and the main building as well. So there should be Cat 6 cabling used in this building. The other networking equipment needed in the building is a wireless router which will help the mobility of the employees, a networking switch for all the workstations and the wall sockets into which the Ethernet cables will be plugged in. There will also be two sockets for the printers. There will be VoIP phones on the desks with the computers
The Internet is a global network of computers. Every computer that is connected to the Internet is considered a part of that network. This means even your home computer. It's all a matter of degrees, you connect to your ISP's network, then your ISP connects to a larger network and so on.
It's a network operating using the Ethernet protocols at speeds of 1,000,000,000 bits per second or higher.
How many pins does an RJ-45 patch cable or crossover cable have?
One. RJ-45 is a specification for a certain style of connector.
There are several TYPES of RJ-45 connector and the differences in them are in regards to the types of cable to be used in them. Some examples are, "Stranded wire" to be used with stranded (more flexible) conductors, "Solid Conductor" to be used to terminate cables with a solid wire and "Universal" which may work on either.
The specific difference in them is in the spades that are designed to cut through the insulator and provide a mechanical connection with the conductor inside upon crimping. While the "Stranded" specific type has more of a flat blade design, the "Solid" specific spades are designed with three "fingers" which straddle the solid conductor on both sides and the Universal spade is somewhat of a hybrid between the two.
From my experiences, the only real problem arises when you try to use a stranded version RJ-45 on a solid conductor wire. When this is done, the solid spade simply skips off to one side of the solid conductor after it pierces the insulator. While this may very well be touching the connector and providing a connection at first, any flex or age leads to a very intermittent connection at best and you'll be troubleshooting this connection in very little time.
I've not had a problem using the other versions on the other types of cables: Universal on either or Solid spade on stranded wire.
Difference between a web server and a database server?
Application server is used to serve the logic of the business to the application with the help of different protocol whereas web server is used to handle HTTP requests.
An application server is a computer that stores application programs designed to be run, as services, from a client computer. Depending on the application design, a client computer can run or invoke the remote application via a web interface or by running a client program designed to work with the application program.
A web server is a program (or application program) that receives requests from Web Browsers and responds by sending data back to the browser where it is displayed as a web page.
What is the minimum cable requirements for 100 Mbps Ethernet?
100Base-T network require usually cat5 maximum of cable length 100 meters to 380meters.
