Router and switch IOS is stored where? |
In non-volatile flash memory (NVRAM) on the router. |
|
Router and switch startup-config is stored where? |
NVRAM |
|
The IOS file is expanded into where at boot up? |
RAM |
|
What is the difference between ssh and telnet? |
SSH is newer and has stronger encryption and password authentication. |
|
Why are we putting phone and video and data all together in an IP network? aka, what is the point of convergence? |
Simplifying hardware and putting everything on one device. Long-distance calls are free over the internet. |
|
What is an extranet? |
A part of an intranet which is extended to users outside the company, such as business partners |
|
What do the keyboard commands (control shift 6) and (control c) do? |
[Control + Shift + 6] = Interrupt a running IOS process such as Ping or Traceroute. [Control + C] = Abort current command or exit config mode. |
|
What does pressing the Tab key do when entering a command in the IOS? |
Command line completion. Type ‘sh tab’ will turn into ‘show’ and so on. |
|
Can hostnames have spaces in them? |
No. |
|
Know the names of the modes, like user exec and priv |
User Exec - “View Only”, no ability to change the system. Privileged Exec - Admin layer, applies changes that affect the whole device. Global Config - Primary config mode for whole-device changes. Specific configuration modes - Sub-config modes that affect specific parts of the device, such as ports. |
|
Know what passwords protect what modes: enable, console, telnet |
Enable - Limits access to Privileged Exec mode. Console - Limits device access using the console connection. Telnet - Limits device access over Telnet. |
|
What does “copy run start” do? |
Set your current configuration to be the startup config. |
|
What interface do you put the ip address on a switch? |
Switch Virtual Interface |
|
What does the loopback address do? is this only for cisco devices? |
Network software and utilities send signals to this address when they want to query the computer’s own connection stats. No. |
|
What does ARP do? |
Finds out the IP address of a MAC address |
|
What acronym is commonly used when referring to organizing data by priority? |
QoS - Quality of Service |
|
What is DSL? |
High-speed internet connection that uses phone lines. |
|
What happens at the Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical layers of the OSI model? |
Transport - Ensures complete data transfer between hosts. Network - Creates paths between nodes to transmit data along. Data Link - Encodes and decodes data into bits. Physical - Conveyance of the bit stream via electrical impulse, light, radio, etc. |
|
The Internet layer of the TCP/IP Model is the same as which layer of the OSI Model? |
Network Layer |
|
What procedure reduces cross talk within a data cable? |
Twisting the cable. |
|
Ethernet is CSMA /CA or CD? |
Collision Detection |
|
What header uses sequence and acknowledgement numbers? |
TCP |
|
What do the sequence and acknowledgement numbers do? |
Sequence numbers allow a TCP session to keep track of how much data it has sent. Acknowledgement numbers are sent by a receiving host to confirm that data was received accurately. |
|
If a switch receives a frame header with a MAC address that does not appear in the CAM table, how does the switch forward the frame? |
It will flood the frame and broadcast to every computer on the network to try to find the unknown MAC address. |
|
Auto mdix what is it? |
Ports on a switch will automatically detect what sort of cable is plugged into them and will make internal adjustments to themselves accordingly. |
|
Define routing? |
The process of moving a packet of data from one device to another. |
|
What does tcp do that udp does not do? |
It checks to ensure the packets have been received by the destination address.
|
|
How are private IP addresses able to communicate on the Internet? |
The router with its public IP address acts as a middleman, delivering data to addresses on its network and rejecting anything else. |
|
Where does a router look for the startup config? 3 locations, in order |
Flash memory, TFTP server, ROM. |
|
What happens when udp traffic doesn't arrive at the destination device? |
The source continues broadcasting. |
|
List all private ip address ranges? |
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 192.108.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 |
|
What default settings on a wireless router could affect security? |
Change default name, turn off broadcasting, use WPA encryption, turn on the firewall, set a password. |
|
Which wireless security protocol is stronger? WEP or WPA |
WPA |
|
Are there more public IP addresses or private IP addresses? |
Public |
|
What does the command “ipv6 unicast -routing” do? |
It globally enables IPV6 on your router. It must be used first for IPV6 to be used. |
|
What prefix do all IPv6 multicast IP addresses use? |
ff00::/8 |
|
Can you calculate TTL with hop count? |
Yes |
|
FCS what is it, what does it do? |
Frame Check Sequence, a bit of error-checking code. |
|
Bytes vs nibbles? |
Byte = 8 bits, nibbles = 4 bits. |
|
What is the difference between a layer 2 and layer 3 switch?
|
Layer 2 uses MAC addresses. Layer 3 uses IP addresses. |
|
DHCP what are the 4 packet names, does the process start at source or destination, what order are the packets delivered? |
DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPOFFER, DHCPREQUEST, DHCPACK |
|
AAA what does it stand for, what is the major function for each of the A's |

A signal that gets sent to all available addresses. |
