components for data to traverse from the initial sender of a message or file
to the receiver at the distant end of the communication path. In addition to
the media that the data travels across, the devices that guide the data
packets through the network, and the protocols that establish end-to-end
connectivity and negotiate the communication, network services play a
critical role in providing the necessary addressing and name resolution
services. Describe the following services and their role in network
communications: ARP, DHCP, ICMP, SNMP, and DNS.

2. Modern organizations rely on the Internet for information and research
necessary to stay competitive but this access can come with significant risk

from outside attackers. In this week’s reading, various types of firewalls and
firewall configurations were discussed. Describe the terms bastion host,
DMZ, dual-homed firewall, screened host, and screened subnet and their
roles in firewall architectures.
