NIC ✔✔What functions at the data link by using a unique MAC address?
Router ✔✔a network device that is used to connect 2 or more network segments by performing
OSI layer 3 functions like packet-forwarding
responsible for implementing NAT
File Server ✔✔used as a shared storage for all member nodes of a LAN
Layer 1 ✔✔Physical Layer
Layer 2 ✔✔Data link layer
Layer 3 ✔✔Network layer
Layer 4 ✔✔Transport layer
Layer 5 ✔✔Session layer
Layer 6 ✔✔Presentation layer
Layer 7 ✔✔Application layer
Physical layer ✔✔provides the electrical and mechanical connection to the network
Data Link layer ✔✔Handles error recovery, flow control (synchronization), and sequencing
Ethernet 802.3 standard defined here
Network layer ✔✔Accepts outgoing messages and combines messages or segments into packets,
adding a header that includes routing information
Transport layer ✔✔Ensures error-free packets. Segments/reassembles packets and handles flow
control
Session layer ✔✔provides the control functions necessary to establish, manage and terminate the
connections as required to satisfy the user request
Presentation layer ✔✔accepts and structures the messages for the application. translates the
messages for the application. responsible for data compression and encryption
Application layer ✔✔Interacts with application programs that incorporate a communication
component such as your Internet browser and email
Physical layer examples ✔✔NICs, twisted-pair cables, fiber, UTP, EIA/TIA, DSL, ISDN
Data link layer examples ✔✔MAC addresses, ARP, PPP, HDLC
Network layer examples ✔✔IP, IPX, IPSec, IPv4 and IPv6
Transport layer examples ✔✔TCP, UDP
Session layer examples ✔✔NFS, SQL, PPTP, PAP, SCP
Presentation layer examples ✔✔ASCII, JPEG, GIF, SSL
Application layer examples ✔✔HTTP, FTP, SMTP (email)
the network ✔✔OSI layer related to the function of the IP protocol suite
data link ✔✔OSI layer responsible for organizing how bits are passed over the physical layer
between devices within the same collision domain
transport ✔✔makes sure packets of data are received correctly and resend them if they are not
TCP and UDP ✔✔performs functions of OSI layer 4
Application TCP/IP ✔✔Application, Presentation and Session OSI
Transport TCP/IP ✔✔transport OSI
Internet TCP/IP ✔✔Network OSI
Network interface TCP/IP ✔✔Data link and physical OSI
FTP protocol ✔✔allows a user to authenticate to a remote server, navigate the servers file structure
and upload and download files
Traceroute ✔✔a network diagnostic tool that displays the path packets take between two endpoints
determines the number of hops required for a packet to reach its destination
ipconfig ✔✔determines configuration details such as IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
ipconfig /all ✔✔Enables the MAC address information to be displayed from the command prompt
along with IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
nslookup ✔✔determine ip address of domain name
ping ✔✔determine ip address and latency in network
nmap ✔✔an open-source port scanning tool that identifies hosts and what operating systems and
services are running on them
netstat -a ✔✔displays ip ports currently open on the Windows OS
patch panel ✔✔a device used to organize network cables as they run between switches and other
network devices
