Q

What are packet sniffers?

A

Examples of SNMP protocols. They can monitor and log the individual packets that travel along your network. Packet sniffers can watch for specific types of problems and provide analysis of the packet.

Q

What does DNS do?

A

DNS provides a friendly name to IP address on the internet. It lets you use a name rather than numbers to refer to host computers.

21
Q

What does RIP stand for?

A

Routing Information Protocol

22
Q

What does RIP do?

A

(RIP) uses broadcast UDP data packets to exchange routing
information.

23
Q

Cisco software sends routing information updates every 30 seconds, which is termed _____.

A

advertising

24
Q

If a device does not receive an update from another device for 180 seconds or more, the receiving device marks the routes served by the non-updating device as _________.

A

unusable

25
Q

If there is still no update after 240 seconds, the device….?

A

Removes all routing table entries for the non-updating device.

26
Q

RIP Request messages are sent to UDP destination
port _____.

A

520

27
Q

How many versions of RIP are there?

A

Two

28
Q

What is the difference between RIPV1 and RIPV2?

A

The Cisco implementation of RIP Version 2 (RIPv2) supports plain text and message digest algorithm 5 (MD5) authentication, route summarization, classless interdomain routing (CIDR), and variable-length subnet masks (VLSMs).

29
Q

What does DHCP stand for?

A

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

30
Q

What does DHCP do?

A

DHCP is a protocol for automatically assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. Dynamic addressing allows a device to have a different IP address every time it connects to the network.

31
Q

True or False - In some systems, the device’s IP address can change while still connected and operating.

A

True

32
Q

How does DHCP simplify network addressing?

A

Because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means that a new computer can be added to a network without the hassle of having to manually assign it an IP address.

33
Q

What does ARP stand for?

A

Address Resolution Protocol

34
Q

What does ARP do?

A

It is a telecommunications protocol used for “resolving” (converting) the network layer (IP) address into a link layer address (MAC).

35
Q

What layer does ARP operate at?

A

Network

36
Q

What is a port?

A

A port is a virtual path to send and receive data from computers.

37
Q

Computers have how many ports?

A

65,535

38
Q

The “purpose” for which the port is used for is called a _______.

A

service

39
Q

Virtual ports are used to….?

A

communicate between two different applications

40
Q

_____ is responsible for maintaining the official assignments of port numbers for specific uses.

A

IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority)

41
Q

Ports are divided into what three ranges?

A

Well-known, registered, dynamic/private/ephemeral

42
Q

Well-known ports are numbers that range from?

A

0-1023

43
Q

Well-known ports are assigned to what?

A

Common protocols and services and provide widely used types of network services for system processes.

44
Q

Registered ports are numbers that range from what?

A

1024-49151

45
Q

Registered ports are assigned what?

A

They are assigned by IANA for specific application services used by a requesting entity.

46
Q

Dynamic/Private/Ephemeral ports are numbers that range from what?

A

49151-65535

47
Q

Dynamic/Private/Ephemeral ports are assigned what?

A

This range is used for custom or temporary purposes and for automatic allocation of ephemeral (temporary) ports. They are assigned as needed then released when the service is finished. In this case a service might have a different port assigned every time it’s used.

48
Q

Ports ranging from 49152–65535 are the dynamic or private ports that cannot be registered with _____.

A

IANA

49
Q

What are the two statuses that ports can have?

A

Open and closed
