What are the components of the Cisco Enterprise 3-tier architecture?
Core Layer
Distribution Layer
Access Layer
layer that provides network connectivity for end-user devices such as computers, printers, and IP phones
Access Layer
Ideal layer to perform user authentication, port security, Network Admission Control (NAC), Quality of Service (Qos) classification and marking, and Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Access Layer
What is the purpose of classification and marking?
ensure that different categories of traffic, such as voice, video, and data, receive enough bandwidth to ensures acceptable levels of service through the network
Layer that is traditionally implemented with multilayer switches, performs QoS resource reservation, interVLAN routing, packet manipulation, route filtering, and summarization
Distribution Layer
typically provides the fastest switching path in the network, and is primarily associated with low latency and high reliability
Core Layer
Cisco two-tier architecture where the functionality of the core layer is provided by the distribution layer?
Collapsed Core
What is a drawback of using a collapsed core design?
the topology does not scale well beyond a small number of swithces so it is only recommended for small campuses
What modules make up the Cisco Enterprise Architecture model?
- Enterprise Campus
- Enterprise Edge
- Service Provider Edge
- Remote Locations
What network services are provided by the data center submodule in the Cisco Enterprise Architecture Model?
- Applications
- DHCP
- DNS
- File Services
provides connectivity to the service provider infrastructure and the internal network
Enterprise Edge
module that contains teleworkers, branch offices, and any other enterprise network components that are geographically distant from the main headquarters
Remote Locations
Internet, MPLS, Metro Ethernet and other WAN service providers are contained within what module?
Service Provider Edge
Describe the attributes of the Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP)
- Cisco Proprietary
- HSRP gateways share a virtual IP and a Virtual MAC
- Each HSRP group contains one active router and one standby router
- Only the active router responds to ARP requests and forwards traffic
Describe the attributes of the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
- IETF Standard
- VRRP gateways share a virtual IP and a Virtual MAC
- Each VRRP group contains one master virtual router and one or more backup virtual routers
- Only the master virtual router responds to ARP requests and forwards traffic
Describe the attributes of the Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP)
- Cisco Proprietary
- Share a virtual IP address but have individual virtual MAC addresses
- Each GLBP group contains an Active Virtual Gateway (AVG), up to four Active Virtual Forwarders (AVFs), and several Secondary Virtual Forwarders (SVFs)
- The AVG and AVFs can all forward traffic thereby providing redundancy and load balancing
What modes can a redundant supervisor module be configured in?
- Route-processor redundancy (RPR)
- RPR Plus (RPR+)
- Stateful Switchover (SSO)
- SSO with Nonstop Forwarding (NSF)
What are the features of the Route-processor redundany (RPR) mode?
- standby supervisor module partially boots and intializes
- Failover time is greater than 2 minutes
- Traffic is disrupted
What are the features of (RPR+) mode
- The standby supervisor fully boots and intialized without Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality
- Failover time greater than 30 seconds
- Traffic is disrupted
What are the features of SSO mode
- the standby supervisor fully boots, intializes, and synchronizes
- Failover time is greater than 1 second
- Layer 2 port states are maintained
- Layer 3 forwarding is disrupted
What are features of SSO with NSF
- Failover time is reduced to milliseconds
- NSF-enabled devices prevent Layer 2 and Layer 3 disruptions
Which deployment solution gives organizations more control and customization, is easier to secure, and has lower latency?
On-premises
Which deployment model has lower-up front cost, does not require hiring of staff, and is easier to scale?
Cloud Deployment
Which deployment model has higher up-front costs, requires hiring staff, and is harder to scale?
On-premises
