Types of DNS Zones

Standard Primary Zones

This is a zone that hosts a read and write copy of the DNS zone in which records are produced and administered. Key characteristics include:

  • Only one primary server per zone is allowed.
  • This server loads and hosts the master copy of the zone.
  • It is the only server allowed to process dynamic updates and zone changes.
  • The primary server is generally located in a readily accessible location to allow administration of the zone file.

Standard Secondary Zones

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Fundamentals

The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a connectionless transport layer protocol used in computer networks for sending datagrams over the Internet Protocol (IP) network.

  • Connectionless Nature: Unlike TCP, UDP does not establish a connection (no handshake or acknowledgment process) before transmitting data.
  • Efficiency: Data transmission begins immediately, making it faster and more efficient with minimal overhead.
  • Ideal Use Case: Perfect for real-time applications

Microsoft Exchange Server Fundamentals

Microsoft Exchange Server is calendaring software, a mail server, and a contact manager developed by Microsoft. It is a server program that runs on Windows Server and is part of the Microsoft Servers line of products.

Key Features and Functionality

Advantages of Using Exchange Server

  • Incoming Mail and Sent Items are always available on multiple computers and/or Webmail (mail is synced between the mail server and client).
  • Supported by most current mobile devices.

TCP/IP Reference Model Features

The TCP/IP reference model (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) is the conceptual framework used for network communication over the internet. It describes how data should be packaged, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received.

Key Features of the TCP/IP Model

  • 1. Based on Standard Protocols: Uses open, standard protocols such as TCP and IP, which are vendor-independent and interoperable across devices and operating systems.
  • 2. End-to-End Communication:

Network Layer Models: OSI vs. TCP/IP

The networking architecture is often compared using the 7-layer OSI model and the 4-layer TCP/IP model.

  • 7-Layer OSI Model: Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, Physical.
  • 4-Layer TCP/IP Model: Application (combines OSI Application, Presentation, Session), Transport, Internet (Network), Link (combines OSI Data Link and Physical).

Networking Fundamentals: Protocols, Routing, and Security

Routing Protocols: Link State vs. Distance Vector

Link State Algorithm (OSPF, IS-IS)

The Link State Algorithm requires each router to build a full topological map of the network. It uses Dijkstra’s algorithm to compute the shortest path.

Link State Steps
  1. Neighbor Discovery: Routers use Hello packets to find direct neighbors.
  2. Link Cost Calculation: Measures the cost to each neighbor (e.g., bandwidth, delay).
  3. LSA Generation: Link-State Advertisements
