North-South traffic flows between external networks and the data center, while East-West traffic flows within the data center.

Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure.

A site survey report is used to document the physical and environmental conditions of a location, identifying potential issues and requirements for network deployment.

CSMA/CD (Carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection) allows devices to share the same communication medium by detecting collisions and taking action, ensuring smooth data transmission.

A rogue DHCP attack involves setting up a rogue DHCP server on a network.

A reverse DNS lookup is used to determine the domain name associated with a given IP address.

Cat 8 cabling supports speeds up to 40 Gbps and provides excellent shielding, making it suitable for high-frequency trading environments.

Mean time to repair (MTTR) measures the average time taken to repair a failed component or device in a network, indicating the efficiency of the recovery process.

The ‘netstat’ command can be used to check if a specific service is running on a remote server by viewing active connections and listening ports.

BGP is an example of an exterior gateway protocol (EGP) used for inter-domain routing, facilitating the exchange of routing information between different autonomous systems on the Internet.

A cold site involves minimal setup and equipment, requiring the longest time to become operational as it needs to be fully configured and equipped before use.

Electrical sensors monitor the risk of electrical surges or outages in a data center, helping to protect sensitive equipment from damage.

Speed is the maximum rate at which data can be transferred, and should be checked first if a user complains about slow wireless speeds.

The Presentation layer formats data for display or transmission, including tasks like data translation, compression, and encryption.

A rogue access point (AP) is used to capture and redirect traffic by masquerading as a legitimate AP.

MAC spoofing involves changing the MAC address of a device.

An on-path attack (previously known as man-in-the-middle attack) involves intercepting and altering communications between two parties without their knowledge.

Cat 7 cabling offers shielding to minimize interference and supports data rates up to 10 Gbps.
