| Cisco IOS software | Operating system software allows centralized, integrated, and automated installation and management of internetworks, while ensuring support |
| client | Node or software program (front-end device) that requests services from a server. |
| client-server computing | Term used to describe distributed computing (processing) network systems in which transaction responsibilities are divided into two parts: client (front end) and server (back end). Both terms (client and server) can be applied to software programs or actual computing devices. |
| Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP) | Provides superior convergence properties and operating efficiency, and combines the advantages of link state protocols with those of distance vector protocols. |
| encapsulation | The wrapping of data in a particular protocol header |
| frame | Logical grouping of information sent as a data link layer unit over a transmission medium. Often refers to the header and trailer, used for synchronization and error control, that surround the user data contained in the unit |
| Get Nearest Server (GNS) | Request packet sent by a client on an IPX network to locate the nearest active server of a particular type. |
| Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) | NetWare connectionless layer 3 protocol, used for transferring data from servers to workstations. |
| Media Access Control (MAC) | sublayers of the data link layer defined by the IEEE, that handles access to shared media, such as whether token passing or contention will be used |
| NetWare | Popular distributed NOS developed by Novell. Provides transparent remote file access and numerous other distributed network services. |
| NetWare Link Services Protocol (NLSP) | Link-state routing protocol based on IS-IS (Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System) |
| Network operating system (NOS) | Generic term used to refer to what are really distributed file systems |
| routing metric | Method by which a routing algorithm determines that one route is better than another. |
| Service Advertisement Protocol (SAP) | IPX protocol that provides a means of informing network clients, via routers and servers, of available network resources and services |
| Until Novell's NetWare 5.0 release in 1998, all NetWare networks | used IPX. |
| NetWare uses a ______ architecture. | client/server |
| NetWare servers are dedicated servers and | cannot be used as clients |
| NetWare Clients (sometimes called workstations) request | services, such as file and printer access, from servers. |
| Novell Routing Information Protocol (RIP)different from IP RIP | different from IP RIP, used to facilitate the exchange of routing information |
| NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) | used to provide client-to-server connections and applications |
| Sequenced Packet Exchange (SPX) | service for Layer 4 connection-oriented services |
| IPX uses the _______ addressing structure | network.node |
| IPX RIP sends routing updates every ____seconds | 60 |
| IPX RIP uses ticks (network delay) and hop count as its routing metrics and is limited to a maximum of _____ hops. | 16 |
| In Novell IPX addressing, the node number is usually the | Media Access Control (MAC) address for a network interface |
| The IPX network number, which is assigned by the network administrator, can be up to | eight base 16 (hexadecimal) digits in length |
| The best and recommended way to obtain a Novell network address is to | ask the network administrator for one. |
| you can get the IPX address directly from a neighbor router by | telneting to the neighbor router and use the show protocols or show ipx interface command. |
| Ethernet 802.3 | novell ether |
| Ethernet 802.2 | SAP |
| Ethernet II | arpa |
| Ethernet_SNAP | SNAP |
| Multiple encapsulations are supported on a single LAN interface, allowing older and newer NetWare nodes to coexist on the same LAN segment as long as you | configure multiple logical networks |
| The IPX packet is the | basic unit of Novell NetWare networking. |
| Because Novell RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol, it uses these two metrics to make routing decisions | ticks (a time measure) and hop count (a count of each router transversed). |
| If two or more paths have the same tick value, Novell RIP compares | the hop count |
| If two or more paths have the same tick value and hop count, the router | load shares |
| Load sharing is the use of | two or more paths to route packets to the same destination evenly among multiple routers to balance the work and improve network performance. |
| A router's Novell RIP routing table is different from its IP routing table because the router maintains a routing table for | every IPX protocol that is enabled. |
| each IPX-enabled router periodically passes copies of its Novell RIP routing table to its | direct neighbor |
| Each Novell network service is identified by a number, called a | SAP identifier. |
| SAP updates are sent every | 60 seconds. |
| When a Novell client requests a particular network service, , if a Netware server is located on the segment, | it responds to the client request |
| When a Novell client requests a particular network service and there are no Netware servers on the local network, then the Cisco router responds with | a server address from its own SAP table. |
| . Adding, finding, and removing services on the network is | dynamic because of SAP advertisements. |
| Workstations do not keep SAP tables-only | routers and servers keep SAP tables |
| Routers do not forward | SAP broadcasts. |
| NetWare clients automatically discover available network services because Novell servers and routers | announce the services by using SAP broadcasts. |
| The NetWare client/server interaction begins when | the client powers up and runs its client startup programs. |
| The Cisco router does not respond to | the GNS request. |
| If there are no NetWare servers on the local network, the Cisco router responds with a | server address from its own SAP table |
| By supporting serverless LAN segments and distributing clients evenly among available servers, Cisco IOS software provides | network-based load sharing, improves application availability, and minimizes the need to configure and manage large numbers of local servers, assuming that the servers are identical |
| Interface IPX configuration tasks include the following: | Assign unique network numbers to each interface and setting the optional IPX encapsulation type if it is different from the default. |
| When enabling IPX, if no node address is specified, the Cisco router uses | the MAC address of the interface. |
| When assigning IPX network numbers to interfaces that support multiple IPX networks, you can also configure | primary and secondary IPX networks. |
| Each IPX network on an interface must use a distinct | encapsulation, and it should match that of the clients and servers using the same network number. |
| . A subinterface is a mechanism that | allows a single physical interface to support multiple logical interfaces or networks. |
