A

The reference value for an interface to determine preference for being elected as the designated router.

132

The first MSTI in the MST protocol. The IST is responsible for building a CST across all VLANs, regardless of their VLAN membership. The IST contains advertisements for other MSTIs in its BPDUs.

133
Q

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)

A

The protocol used by receivers to join multicast groups and start receiving traffic from those groups.

134
Q

Internet Key Exchange (IKE)

A

A protocol that performs authentication between two endpoints
to establish security associations (SAs), also known as IKE tunnels. IKE is the implementation of ISAKMP using the Oakley and Skeme key exchange techniques.

135
Q

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec)

A

A framework of open standards for creating highly secure VPNs using various protocols and technologies for secure communication across unsecure networks such as the Internet.

136
Q

Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP)

A

A framework for authentication and key exchange between two peers to establish, modify, and tear down SAs that is designed to support many different kinds of key exchanges. ISAKMP uses UDP port 500 to communicate between peers.

137
Q

intra-area route

A

An OSPF route learned from a router within the same area. These routes are built based on type 1 and type 2 LSAs.

138
Q

intracontroller roaming

A

Client roaming that occurs between two APs joined to the same
controller.

139
Q

IP SLA

A

An on-box diagnostic tool that executes probes to monitor network devices and application performance.

140
Q

isotropic antenna

A

An ideal, theoretical antenna that radiates RF equally in every direction.

141
Q

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)

A

Notation used to store data in key/value pairs that is
said to be easier to work with and read than XML.

142
Q

K values

A

Values that EIGRP uses to calculate the best path.

143
Q

LACP interface priority

A

An attribute assigned to a switch port on an LACP primary switch
to identify which member links are used when there is a maximum link.

144
Q

LACP system priority

A

An attribute in an LACP packet that provides priority to one switch
over another to control which links are used when there is a maximum link.

145
Q

last-hop router (LHR)

A

A router that is directly attached to the receivers, also known as a leaf
router. It is responsible for sending PIM joins upstream toward the RP or to the source after an SPT switchover.

146
Q

Layer 2 forwarding

A

The forwarding of packets based on the packets’ destination Layer 2
addresses, such as MAC addresses.

147
Q

Layer 2 roam

A

An intercontroller roam where the WLANs of the two controllers are configured for the same Layer 2 VLAN ID; also known as a local-to-local roam.

148
Q

Layer 3 forwarding

A

The forwarding of packets based on the packets’ destination IP
addresses.

149
Q

Layer 3 roam

A

An intercontroller roam where the WLANs of the two controllers are configured for different VLAN IDs; also known as a local-to-foreign roam. To support the roaming client, a tunnel is built between the controllers so that client data can pass between the client’s current controller and its original controller.

150
Q

lightweight AP

A

A wireless AP that performs real-time 802.11 functions to interface with wireless clients, while relying on a wireless LAN controller to handle all management functions.

151
Q

link budget

A

The cumulative sum of gains and losses measured in dB over the complete RF signal path; a transmitter’s power level must overcome the link budget so that the signal can reach a receiver effectively.

152
Q

link-state routing protocol

A

A routing protocol that contains a complete view of the topology,
where every router can calculate the best path based on its copy of the topology.
Examples: OSPF, IS-IS

153
Q

LISP router

A

router that performs the functions of any or all of the following: ITR, ETR, PITR, and/or PETR.

154
Q

LISP site

A

A site where LISP routers and EIDs reside.

155
Q

load-balancing hash

A

An algorithm for balancing network traffic across member links.

156
Q

Loc-RIB table

A

The main BGP table that contains all the active BGP prefixes and path attributes that is used to select the best path and install routes into the RIB.

157
Q

local bridge identifier

A

A combination of the advertising switch’s bridge system MAC, the
system ID extension, and the system priority of the local bridge.

158
Q

local mode

A

The default mode of a Cisco lightweight AP that offers one or more functioning BSSs on a specific channel.

159
Q

Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)

A

routing architecture and data and control plane protocol that was created to address routing scalability problems on large networks.

160
Q

MAC address table

A

A table on a switch that identifies the switch port and VLAN with
which a MAC address is associated for Layer 2 forwarding.
