Q

What are the 2 primary responsibilities of IP?

A

(1) Provide connectionless, best-effort delivery of packets based on logically assigned addresses.
(2) provide fragmentation and reassembly of packets to support data links with different MTU sizes.

Q

MTU has 2 flags, what are they?

A

“More packets to follow” and “Last fragment”

22
Q

What protocol maps IP addresses to MAC addresses?

A

ARP. Address Resolution Protocol

23
Q

What is the difference of ARP process on a single LAN vs. multiple LANs?

A

On a single LAN, only the host with the correct IP address replies to the ARP request and the originating host saves that MAC/IP combination.
For Multiple LANs, the local router checks its routing table to tell that the destination is on different LAN and acts as a proxy with its own MAC address for the sending host. This makes that router the Default Gateway

24
Q

Protocol to enable network devices to learn the MAC and network layer addresses of other network devices

A

Hello Protocol

25
Q

T/F: Hello messages are used as keep-alives to ensure the connected router is still functional?

A

True

26
Q

What is a common use of ICMP?

A

Ping (Packet Internet Groper) requests

27
Q

Ping is a ______ to _____ layer request

A

Network Layer (both blanks)

28
Q

Network layer protocols responsible for path determination and packet switching

A

Routing Protocols

29
Q

The 5 routing procols

A

RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF, BGP

30
Q

What are the 5 Routed protocols mentioned?

A

IP, MTU, ARP, Hello, ICMP

31
Q

What does an IP routing table contain, and what is it for?

A

Consists of destination address/next hop pairs, and is used to enable dynamic routing

32
Q

Do routers monitor if packets make it to their destination?

A

No

33
Q

What is a gateway

A

In this situation, it is a router that performs routing protocol functions between machines, networks within or between autonomous systems

34
Q

A collection of networks under a common administration that share a common routing strategy

A

Autonomous system

35
Q

These routers are used for information exchange within autonomous systems

A

Interior gateway routers (use IGPs)

36
Q

These routers move information between autonomous systems

A

Exterior gateway routers (use EGPs)

37
Q

An IP address on a layer 3 device that serves as an access point to or from a network

A

Default gateway (router port). It also can refer to a setting on a host, which points to the default gateway address

38
Q

The act of moving information across a packet switching internetwork

A

Routing

39
Q

What are the 2 basic activities routing?

A

Determining optimal paths

Transporting data packets through the network

40
Q

What is the primary difference between routing and bridging/switching?

A

Routing occurs at Layer 3, bridging/switching occurs at Layer 2 (they use different information to accomplish their tasks)

41
Q

What is the purpose of a router?

A

To connect one LAN segment to another LAN segment within a routing domain (Administrative Domain), and to connect to other remote areas outside the AD

42
Q

T/F: Routers are capable of route analysis and path determination

A

True

43
Q

What are the 2 major functions of routers?

A

Path determination

Packet switching

44
Q

Determining the best, most cost-efficient paths from the available paths to the known destination network is known as what?

A

Path determination

45
Q

Forwarding a packet on the way to a final destination based on MAC address of the “next hop router interface” is known as…

A

Packet switching

46
Q

What are the 3 components of path determination?

A
  • Routing metrics (measurements of the network)
  • Routing algorithms (formula to calculate cost of paths, they initialize and maintain routing tables)
  • Routing tables (results of algorithm, shows available paths and their costs)
47
Q

Message that consists of sending a whole routing table to all directly connected routers

A

Broadcast (Routing Update Message)

48
Q

Message sent between routers throughout the network to inform other routers of the state of the sender’s links

A

Multicast (Link State Advertisement)

49
Q

Do routers use IP address or MAC address for getting to the “next hop”?

A

MAC address

50
Q

What are some reasons for destruction of packets?

A

If the packet is at the router and the router does not have a listing for its destination, if an ACL deny criteria is met, if the packet version number is wrong, if the TTL counter expires, if the CRC check shows a bit error, if the DoD security bits are set and the computer isn’t authorized to receive, if the packet must be fragmented in order to send but the “allow fragmentation” flag is not set
