A

SSO

35
Q

What are some considerations you should have when using SSO as a network redundancy feature?

36
Q

What happens in a failover situation in a design situation where NSF is combined with SSO?

A

The standby route processor immediately takes control and forwards packets along known routes

37
Q

What is best-practice for a core layer in a three-tier network design?

A

Provide redundant L3 point-to-point links between core devices for faster and more predictable convergence

38
Q

What is routed access?

A

An alternate configuration where Layer 3 is extended to the access layer switches. No L2 links, so no STP required.
Facilitates a migration from a traditional campus design to a programmable fabric design

39
Q

What architecture is commonly used in data centers?

A

Spine-and-leaf

40
Q

What are some best practices when designing a campus L3 infrastructure?

A

Summarize routes from the aggregation layer toward the core layer
Tune CEF load balancing hash for ECMP routing

41
Q

What are some network problems that would indicate a need to implement QoS?

A

Excess jitter
Packet loss (bandwidth related)

42
Q

How is QoS packet classification performed?

A

By modifying the TOS field in the layer 3 header

43
Q

How is the RIB derived?

A

From the control plane

44
Q

What is stored in TCAM?

A

ACL and QoS information

45
Q

46
Q

What are the modes for CEF?

A

Central CEF mode
Distributed CEF mode

47
Q

What punts each packet?

A

Process switching

48
Q

What is the differences between CEF and process switching in terms of what’s being used?

A

CEF uses dedicated hardware processors, process switching uses the main processor

Q

What deployment model would you use if you wanted to manage several branches locally with CAPWAP?

A

50
Q

What is Cisco Unified Wireless Network?

A

A wireless solution that can support a main office and multiple branch locations. All sites would have local Internet connections and a link to the main office for corporate connectivity. The branch offices are managed centrally.
