NETWORKING INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
1. Explain Beaconing
The process that allows a network to self-repair networks problems. The stations on the network notify the other stations on the ring when they are not receiving the transmissions. Beaconing is used in Token ring and FDDI networks.
2. Explain terminal emulation, in which layer it comes
Telnet is also called as terminal emulation. It belongs to application layer.
3. Explain frame relay, in which layer it comes
Frame relay is a packet switching technology. It will operate in the data link layer.
4. What do you meant by "triple X" in Networks
The function of PAD (Packet Assembler Disassembler) is described in a document known as X.3. The standard protocol has been defined between the terminal and the PAD, called X.28; another standard protocol exists between hte PAD and the network, called X.29. Together, these three recommendations are often called "triple X"
5. Explain SAP
Series of interface points that allow other computers to communicate with the other layers of network protocol stack.
6. Explain subnet
A generic term for section of a large networks usually separated by a bridge or router.
7. Explain Brouter
Hybrid devices that combine the features of both bridges and routers.
8. How Gateway is different from Routers
A gateway operates at the upper levels of the OSI model and translates information between two completely different network architectures or data formats.
9. What are the different type of networking / internetworking devices
Repeater: Also called a regenerator, it is an electronic device that operates only at physical layer. It receives the signal in the network before it becomes weak, regenerates the original bit pattern and puts the refreshed copy back in to the link.
Bridges: These operate both in the physical and data link layers of LANs of same type. They divide a larger network in to smaller segments. They contain logic that allow them to keep the traffic for each segment separate and thus are repeaters that relay a frame only the side of the segment containing the intended recipent and control congestion.
Routers: They relay packets among multiple interconnected networks (i.e. LANs of different type). They operate in the physical, data link and network layers. They contain software that enable them to determine which of the several possible paths is the best for a particular transmission.
Gateways:
They relay packets among networks that have different protocols (e.g. between a LAN and a WAN). They accept a packet formatted for one protocol and convert it to a packet formatted for another protocol before forwarding it. They operate in all seven layers of the OSI model.
10. Explain mesh network
A network in which there are multiple network links between computers to provide multiple paths for data to travel.
