    Virtualization—NETWORKING ESSENTIALS—CompTIA A+ (220-1001) A-PLUS Certification Prep Course Notes

    May 6, 2021 /

    VIRTUALIZATION Understanding Virtualization Virtual machines are self-contained computers running within a host OS Hypervisors support multiple VMs A type 1 hypervisor runs directly on top of the hardware as an OS A type 2 hypervisor runs as an app in an existing OS Your First Virtual Machine Setting up a new VM takes a few steps. Install a hypervisor, like Oracle VirtualBox. Create a virtual machine in the hypervisor. Download & install an operating system, like Ubuntu Linux. Advanced VIrtualization You can modify virtual hardware easily, such as add a “drive”. Bridge a VM to connect to same network (and DHCP server) as host OS. Use NAT to put a…

    PHYSICAL NETWORKING Introduction to Networking LAN computers connect with Ethernet. (Local Area Network) Ethernet frames standardized as 1500 bytes A MAC address uniquely identifies a host on a LAN. (MAC-Media Access Control; a MAC is a 48-bit address; always manifested as 12 hexadecimal characters) Use ‘ipconfig’ (Windows) or ‘ifconfig’ (Linux) to view MAC. Example MAC address: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx (the first 3 sets of pairs combined together are known as the OEM ID. Hubs vs. Switches Hubs repeat all traffic on LAN to all nodes (Hub = ‘dumb’ repeater) Switches filter traffic based on MAC address (Switch = smart repeater) Switches provide full bandwidth for all nodes Hexadecimal Hexadecimal (base 16) enables…

    Display Technologies Monitor Technologies A monitor is composed of individual picture elements (pixels); the total pixels across and down is the resolution. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitors use liquid crystals to allow light to pass or not pass for each color in a pixel. LCD backlights are fluorescent or LED lights & shine through the liquid crystals. Organic LED (OLED) doesn’t use a backlight, as the pixels make their own light. Digital Light Processing (DLP) uses a grid of tiny mirrors that shine through a color wheel to create an image. -CCFL—Cold cathode fluorescent lamp—1st generation LCD’s LED—Light-emitting diodes The imaging (front) is LCD and the backlighting can be CCFL…

    May 5, 2021 /

    Introduction to Mass Storage There are many types of mass storage used today, including hard drives, solid state drives (SSD) and optical media. Regardless of the media, your operating system sees mass storage as a string of logical block addresses. There is a difference between decimal value and IEC values. LBA—Logical Block Address Decimal Counting— 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 Kilo 1,000 Mega 1,000,000 Giga 1,000,000,000 Terra 1,000,000,000,000 Peta 1,000,000,000,000,000 Exa 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Binary—more concerned with how many possible patterns IEC Values: There can be (IEC counting) 00000000 28 = 256 different patterns (LBA values) 210 = 1024 different patterns Kibi = 210 (Not “kilo”…

    BIOS & Intro to Core Hardware & Firmware—CompTIA A+ (220-1001) A-PLUS Certification Prep Course Notes

    Firmware What is BIOS/UEFI? BIOS programs are code. Basic Input/Output Services Note: Every motherboard in existence has built-in to it a small program designed to let us talk to the assumed hardware of the computer, and it’s called, ‘BIOS’. BIOS is a firmware, burned onto a chip, as opposed to software, which is copied onto some type of magnetic media or electronic media. BIOS programming enables interaction with the motherboard before the OS loads. BIOS is stored in non-volatile media, thus called firmware. POST (Power On Self Test) routines are built into firmware. The System Setup utility is also part of the firmware. (CMOS) POST—Power On Self Test POST runs…
