| A network is a collection of devices that | interact with one another to provide communication |
| When a network administrator looks at a network, it should be as a | whole instead of individual parts |
| each device in a network effects other devices and | the network as a whole. |
| network server and the hosts must be set up to work with | the same protocol |
| In an enterprise network, it is important that the network staff knows | its responsibilities |
| The greater the responsibility of a network staff, the greater the | resource cost. |
| making the responsibility area of a networking department too large may | overburden the resources of the department |
| making the responsibility area of a networking department to small may make it | difficult to effectively resolve the problems on the network. |
| determining not only the cost of network design and implementation, but also the cost of maintaining, upgrading, and monitoring the network | cost analysis |
| network cost factors | Network growth over time; technical and user training; repairs; and software deployment. |
| The network administrator must be able to look at historical and company growth trends to project the | cost of growth in the network |
| The cost of _____ for mission critical operations should also be added to the cost of maintaining the network | redundant equipment |
| effective network management requires thorough | documentation |
| network documentation is used to gather the | basic information necessary to identify and assign a network problem, and will also provide a way of tracking the progress and eventual solution of the problem |
| Problem reports provide justification to senior management for | hiring new staff, purchasing equipment, and providing additional training. |
| the two primary reasons for network monitoring are | predicting changes for future growth and detecting unexpected changes in network status |
| One of the major differences in a WAN-LAN comparison is the | physical placement of equipment. |
| The placement and use of monitoring tools becomes critical to the | uninterrupted operation of the Wide Area Network. |
| One of the most basic forms of connection monitoring is the | process of users logging on to the network |
| The ping test only says that | the connection is down, not where it is down. |
| Monitoring the network with the ping command only tells | that somewhere between the monitoring station and the target device there is a communication breakdown but does not tell where |
| Ping tests will not give give true data unless | workstations are always left on. |
| Traffic monitoring is a much more sophisticated method of network monitoring. It looks at the | actual packet traffic on the network and generates reports based upon the network traffic. |
| Microsoft Windows NT network | monitor and Fluke's Network Analyzer are examples of this type of software. |
| A network is a collection of devices that | interact with one another to provide communication. |
