Switch is a layer 2 device. Layer 3 switch is also there. Difference is layer 3 switch maintains MAC address table
and routing.

How fast do the RIP updates routing tables in novell’s implementation?

every 60 seconds.

Name 3 fast ethernet technologies.

These are 100 Base FX, 100 Base T4 and 100 Base TX.

Which OSI Layer is used for providing end to end connections?

The transport layer is used for this purpose.
What do you know about MAC Addresses?
Mac Addresses are 48 bits in length and these have a vendor code as well as a serial number of 24 bits.

What is the filtering range for IPX SAP Filters?

The filtering range is 1000-1099

What is the use of ARP?

It stands for address resolution protocol and it is used for resolution of mac address.

Which OSI layer is used to establish, maintain and terminate the sessions between hosts?
Session layer servers this purpose.

What is the use of ping command.

The ping command is used to test the layer 3 connectivity.

Where is the Cisco IOS stored?

It is stored in flash.

What is the use of Sequence and acknowledgement number?

These are reliable.

Which routing protocol helps exchange the entire routing tables regularly?
Distance Vector.

Name the 3 different IP Routing protocols.

RIP, OSPF and IGRP.

List three important characteristics of a MAC Address.

The three characteristics are Burned into the NIC, 48 Bits length and delivering the frame to end device.

Which two metrics are used for making routing decisions.

Ticks and Hops

Which encapsulation type is used on a serial interface?

HDLC

arpa is used …
for Ethernet_II

Which encapsulation types use snap in CISCO IOS?

Ethernet_SNAP, Token Ring and FDDI

What does 109 mean in router igrp 109?

109 is an autonomous system number

A useful feature of IGRP which provides greater reliablility.

unequal cost load balancing

How often does the IGRP broadcast its routing table updates?
Every 90 seconds
WHich information is displayed by “show IP Protocol” command?
The network information and routing timers are displayed by this command.

In RIP, how often the routing updates are broadcasted?

Every 30 seconds.

All routers need to be interconnected, running the same routing protocol and should run only IGRP for an
autonomous system to exist.

How does a router learn about destination by default?

Its learns by IGRP

Which command can be used to show the IP address of the routers connected to your router?
show cdp neighbors detail command can be used for this.

What is the function of ICMP?

It is used to send errors and control messages.

Name the IP Command useful for testing the entire IP Stack.

Telnet

Which hardwares are required to manage a router?

Auxiliary port and a console port are required to manage a router.

Default bandwidth of a serial connection?

The default bandwidth of a serial connection is 1.544 Mbps.

Name few LAN Technologies.

FDDI, 802.3 and 802.5 are LAN technologies.

Which OSI layer is used for communication in an application?

The Application layer is used for communication in an application.

What is the length of IPX Address and list the components of IPX.
The length is 80 bits and there are two components called network address of 32 bits and node of 48 bits.

Which OSI layer related the mac address and LLC.

Data link layer

Which encapsulation type is needed to connect a cisco router to a non cisco router across a frame relay network?
IETF is needed here.

What do the TCP and UDP have in commmon?

Both TCp and UDP are transport protocols and use port numbers for upper level applications.

Important features of IP RIP.

It is a distance vector, has an administrative distance of 120 and it can provide load balance.

Name a layer 3 device.

A Switch is a layer 2 device.
What do you mean by demarcation?
It is the division of responsibility. The CPE Ends and the local loop begins here.

Important properties of Cisco Discovery Protocol.

Important features of cisco discovery protocol are that it verifies connectivity, does not require layer 3 protocols, etc.

List important features of IPX RIP.

It is a distance vector. It updates every 60 seconds and uses ticks and hop count.

What is the access list range for extended IP Access list?

The access list range is 100 - 199.

List three important properties of IGRP.

It is a composite metric. There are updates every 60 seconds and it is a poison reverse.

Where can the backup configuration file be found?

It is stored in the NVRAM.

Three features of IP Access lists.

There are three different kinds of access lists. These are standard, extended and named.

How can a router be configured?

It can be configured by TFTP, Nvram or Console

An important feature of RARP.

The full form of RARP is Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. It is used to start remote O/S load sequence.

Which protocol helps test the connectivity without configuration of layer 3 protocols?
