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

Authentication - Identify users by name and password.


Authorization - Limit access to users based on name and clearance levels.


Accounting - Record what users do while logged in.

Ipconfig /displaydns shows what on a pc?

The contents of the DNS cache.

What is the purpose of the “show file systems” command?

To list available file systems.

Describe the tftp process

Client asks for data. Server sends data in 512-byte packets. Client sends back acknowledgement signal between packets. Transmission ends when a packet less than 512 bytes is sent. Lost packets will be re-transmitted.

Define a broadcast message

A signal that gets sent to all available addresses.

What is the purpose of ICMP messages?

To provide feedback of IP packet transmissions.
