1. The inclusion of duplicate components or systems to provide backup or failover protection in case of a hardware or software failure.
2. A data structure in a networking device that maps MAC addresses to physical ports.
3. The distribution of network traffic across multiple devices or links to optimize resource utilization, maximize throughput, and minimize response time.
4. The process of selecting the best path for data packets to travel from source to destination in a network.
5. A unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.
6. A type of network cable commonly used to connect network devices on a Local Area Network (LAN)
7. A physical connector on a networking device used to connect network cables or devices.
8. A mechanism that prioritizes certain types of network traffic, ensuring higher performance for critical applications or services.
9. A widely used wired network technology enables devices to communicate with each other over a local area network (LAN).
10. A unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for communications at the data link layer of a network segment.
11. A type of server where all the physical resources are exclusively allocated to a single user or organization.
12. The process of inspecting packets based on their source and destination addresses, ports, and protocols, and either allowing or blocking them based on predefined rules.
13. The maximum amount of data that can be sent over a wired network within a certain time frame, typically measured in bits per second (bps).
14. A computer or system that provides resources, data, services, or programs to other computers or clients over a network.
15. A mode of communication that allows the NIC to send and receive data simultaneously.
16. A technology that transmits data as light pulses in wired networks using thin strands of glass or plastic (fibers).
17. A network hardware device that connects multiple devices on a computer network, using packet switching to forward data to the intended destination device
