About the Flashcards
Mastering network fundamentals is essential for exam success. This deck walks you through the OSI model, Ethernet cabling standards such as STP and UTP, and critical data-link concepts like MAC addressing and CSMA/CD. Key transport protocols-TCP, UDP, and ICMP-are paired with addressing methods including CIDR, VLSM, and APIPA.
Flashcards for the CompTIA Network+ exam also reinforce switching and VLAN configuration, dynamic host services, and wide-ranging routing protocols from RIP to BGP. Security topics such as ACLs, VPNs, IPsec, and intrusion prevention round out your review, ensuring you can recognize terminology and apply core concepts across LAN, WAN, and wireless scenarios.
Topics covered in this flashcard deck:
- OSI layers & models
- Ethernet cabling standards
- IP addressing & subnetting
- Routing protocols
- Network security services
- Wireless & WAN basics
