What else can I help you with?
Which tool allows you to send an echo message to a host and then receive a response in order to determine network connectivity?
The tool that allows you to send an echo message to a host and receive a response to determine network connectivity is called "ping." It uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) to send echo request packets to the target host and waits for echo reply packets. If the target is reachable, it responds, indicating that the network connection is functioning properly.
Can 255.255.255.255 have hosts?
No, 255.255.255.255 is a special address known as the limited broadcast address in IPv4. It is used to send packets to all hosts on the local network segment and cannot be assigned to any individual host. Therefore, it does not have hosts associated with it.
What technology takes packets and breaks them out into smaller packets and send them over the network?
packet switching
What are host id network id and broadcast id?
In networking, the network ID identifies a specific network segment and is used to route packets to the appropriate network. The host ID identifies a specific device (or host) within that network. The broadcast ID is a special address used to send messages to all devices on a network segment simultaneously, usually represented by the highest address in the subnet. Together, these IDs help in organizing and managing network communications efficiently.
What three ways in which host can communicate in a network?
Hosts in a network can communicate through various methods, including: Direct Communication: This involves sending data packets directly from one host to another using IP addresses. Broadcasting: A host can send messages to all devices on the network segment, allowing multiple hosts to receive the same information simultaneously. Multicasting: This method enables a host to send data to a specific group of hosts rather than all devices on the network, optimizing bandwidth and ensuring that only intended recipients receive the message.
How many packets send in network at a time?
Only 1 packet at a time can use the network resources at a time; the other packets will cause a collision in an Ethernet network. For Token Ring, only 1 packet at a time is on the network (via the token).
When you send a packet to a host in a remote network the packet is forwarded to where?
When you send a packet to a host in a remote network, the packet is first forwarded to the default gateway of your local network. From there, the gateway routes the packet through various intermediary routers across the internet, using the destination IP address to determine the best path. Ultimately, the packet arrives at the target host's network, where it is directed to the specific device intended to receive it.
When a host on one network wants to communicate with a host on another network what ARP request does it send?
ARP is not used for internetwork communications, it will send ARP to find gateway to be able to communicate with another network.
The administrator would identify which address as the address to which all hosts send packets that are destined for an outside network?
10.10.10.6
How do hosts ensure that their packets are directed to the correct network destination?
Hosts ensure that their packets are directed to the correct network destination through the use of IP addresses and routing tables. When a host wants to send data, it encapsulates the packet with the destination IP address, which identifies the target device on the network. Routers then use their routing tables to determine the best path for the packet to reach its destination, forwarding it across interconnected networks until it arrives at the intended host. Additionally, protocols like ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) are used to resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses within local networks, ensuring correct delivery at the data link layer.
What is the device called that hosts send information to that must travel outside their network?
The device that hosts send information to for traveling outside their network is called a router. The router directs data packets between the local network and external networks, such as the internet, ensuring that information reaches its intended destination. It often includes features for security, traffic management, and connectivity to multiple devices.
What is the ANDing process?
In order to determine whether a destination host is local or remote, a computer will perform a simple mathematical computation referred to as an AND operation. While the sending host does this operation internally, understanding what takes place is the key to understanding how an IP-based system knows whether to send packets directly to a host or to a router.
