MCSA Guide to Networking with Windows Server 2016, Exam 70-741 First Edition

These flashcards cover key concepts, terminologies, and functionalities related to IPAM, networking, and various technologies associated with Windows Server 2016 as discussed in the lecture notes.

Internet Protocol Address Management (IPAM)

A system that enables administrators to manage the IP address space, including monitoring, auditing, and reporting functions.

IPAM Infrastructure

Consists of IPAM servers that manage IP address spaces and collect data from managed servers.

Centralized Deployment

A topology option for IPAM where a single server is deployed for the entire enterprise.

Distributed Deployment

A topology option for IPAM where servers are deployed at every site in the network.

Hybrid Deployment

A topology that combines centralized and distributed deployment options for IPAM.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, used for assigning IP addresses dynamically.

DNS

Domain Name System, responsible for resolving domain names to IP addresses.

NPS

Network Policy Server, used for policy management and network access control.

Managed Server

A Windows server running one or more services such as DHCP, DNS, Active Directory (AD), or NPS being overseen by IPAM.

Group Policy Objects (GPOs)

Used in IPAM to manage settings and configurations for managed servers.

Audit IPAM

The process of reviewing and tracking changes made within the IPAM system.

Namespace Server

A server that hosts the DFS Namespaces role service, allowing for a logical share organization.

Folder Target

A UNC path that points to a shared folder hosted on a server.

DFS Replication

The process that synchronizes data across multiple servers to ensure consistency.

BranchCache

A file-sharing technology that caches files to improve branch office performance.

Quality of Service (QoS)

A feature that prioritizes different types of network traffic to enhance performance.

Network Load Balancing

The process of distributing network traffic across multiple servers to enhance performance and reliability.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN)

A networking architecture that enables administrators to manage network resources through software applications.

Routing Domain ID (RDID)

An identifier assigned to a routing domain in a virtual network.

Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN)

A tunneling protocol used to encapsulate Layer 2 frames in Layer 3 packets.

Receive Side Scaling (RSS)

A feature that allows network drivers to distribute incoming network traffic processing across multiple CPU cores.

Network Security Group (NSG)

A security policy tied to access control lists (ACL) that define the allowed traffic.
