Create Terminology Mind Maps

The first part of this book introduces a large amount of terminology. The sheer number of
terms can be overwhelming. But more and more, while you work through each new chapter,
you will become more comfortable with the terms. And the better you can remember the
core meaning of a term, the easier your reading will be going forward.

For your first mind map exercise in this book, without looking back at the chapters or your
notes, you will create six mind maps. The mind maps will each list a number in the center,
1 through 6, to match the numbers shown in Figure P1-1. Your job is as follows:

■ Think of every term that you can remember from Part I of the book.
■ Think of each of the six mind maps as being about the item next to the number
in Figure P1-1. For example, number 1 is about the user PC, number 2 is about an
Ethernet cable that connects PC1 to a switch, and so on.
■ Add each term that you can recall to all mind maps to which it applies. For example,
leased line would apply to mind map number 5.
■ If a term seems to apply to multiple places, add it to all those mind maps.
■ After you have written every term you can remember into one of the mind maps,
review the Key Terms lists at the end of Chapters 1 through 5. Add any terms you
forgot to your mind maps.

Figure P1-1  Sample Network to Use with Mind Map Exercise

The goal of these minds maps is to help you recall the terms with enough meaning to associ-
ate the terms with the right part of a simple network design. On your first review of Part I,
do not be concerned if you cannot fully explain each term, because you will learn many of
these terms more fully just by reading the rest of the book.

NOTE  For more information on mind mapping, refer to the Introduction, in the section
“About Mind Maps.”

you saved the file for later reference. Sample answers are listed in DVD Appendix L, “Mind
