security chapter 8 – Flashcards

When using SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, what piece of information is needed to view information from an agent?

What is the term used for a device that requests permission from an authenticator to join a network?​

Despite its promise to dramatically impact IT, cloud computing raises significant security concerns.

TCP/IP uses its own five-layer architecture that includes Network Interface, Internet, Control, Transport, and Application.

In what type of cloud computing does the customer have the highest level of control?

Select below the TCP/IP protocol that resolves a symbolic name to its corresponding IP address using a database consisting of an organized hierarchy tree.

The deployment of this technology below can be used as a defense against DoS and DDoS SYN flood attacks:

IEEE 802.1x is commonly used on wireless networks.

How can a network of physical devices be grouped into logical units, regardless of what network switches they may be connected to?

What device operates at the Network Layer (layer 3) of the OSI model and forwards packets across computer networks?

Which of the three Cloud computing service models allows a customer to access software provided by a vendor using a web browser, without any installation, configuration, upgrading, or management from the user?

At what level of the OSI model does the IP protocol function?

The capability for devices to exchange low-level control messages is provided by what protocol below?

Port-based authentication, in which users are authenticated on a per-switch port basis, is a function of what standard below?

What protocol suite below is the most commonly used protocol for local area network (LAN) communication?

An administrator needs to examine FTP commands being passed to a server. What port should the administrator be monitoring?

Which layer of the OSI model contains TCP protocol, which is used for establishing connections and reliable data transport between devices?

TCP is responsible for addressing packets and sending them on the correct route to the destination, while IP is responsible for reliable packet transmission.

​What MAC limiting configuration setting allows for MAC addresses to be automatically learned and stored along with any addresses that were learned prior to using the configuration setting?

IP telephony and Voice over IP (VoIP) are identical.

A TCP/IP protocol that uses Secure Sockets Layer or Transport Layer Security to encrypt commands sent over the control port (port 21) in an FTP session.

An unsecure TCP/IP protocol that is commonly used for transferring files

A means of managing and presenting computer resources by function without regard to their physical layout or location..

A log that is used to record which user performed an action and what that action was..

A feature that controls a device's tolerance for unanswered service requests and helps to prevent a DoS or DDoS attack..

Log that documents any unsuccessful events and the most significant successful events.

Technique to prevent broadcast storms by using the IEEE 802.1d standard spanning-tree algorithm (STA).

An older TCP/IP protocol and an application used for text-based communication

The ability to easily expand or contract resources in a virtualized environment.

An instance of a particular state of a virtual machine that can be saved for later use.
