Q

What is a routing protocol used for?

A

route and distribute data and network information

22
Q

What is a Routing Information Base-RIB?

A

Default routing table

23
Q

What would be considered a routed interface?

A

any interface on a router

24
Q

What does packet switching relate to?

A

Way packets are moved to/from the input interface to the output interface or interfaces to CEF

25
Q

Process switching requires what to be personally involved with every forwarding decision? What layer does process switching take place?

A

CPU - every packet is inspected by the CPU (Software) L3

26
Q

How does fast-switching work?

A

Packet passes and forward from the CPU once then stored in fast-switching route cache for faster access

27
Q

How does Cisco Express Forwarding CEF work? Benefit of using Cisco Express Forwarding CEF

A

CEF caches routing information in the FIB (Forwarding Information Base) and Layer 2 next hop address in an adjacent table. (all in L2 data plane) Ability to forward more packets faster

28
Q

How does CEF handle routing information in specialized ASICs?

A

Layer 3 routing table (RIB) is copied down into the (hardware level) L2 data plane and stored in both FIB (Forwarding Information Base) and (next hop) adjacent tables

29
Q

What does ASIC stand for? What are ASIC used for?

A

Application Specific Integrated Circuit Integrated circuit (IC) for a particular use, rather for general-purpose use

30
Q

What does TCAM stand for? What is the TCAM used for? Is TCAM an extension of the CAM architecture? True/False

A

Ternary Content Addressable Memory allowing the matching and evaluation of packets on more than one field. True

31
Q

How are the TCAM entries stored?

A

Value, Mask and Result (VMR format)

32
Q

What does the value in a TCAM indicate? What are those values?

A

value that should be searched IP address and protocol fields

33
Q

What does the mask in a TCAM indicate?

A

field of interest that should be queried

34
Q

What does the results in TCAM indicate?

A

action that should be taken with a match on the value and mask

35
Q

What does CAM stand for? What is CAM used for?

A

Content Addressable Memory Store mac address and port information in a MAC address table

36
Q

What do multi-layer switches use to forward frames and packets at wire speed?

A

ASIC hardware

37
Q

What is centralized forwarding architecture?

A

When RP engine “route processor” is equipped to make all packet switching decisions/CPU.

38
Q

What is distributed forwarding architecture?

A

When a packet is received on the ingress line card and then forwarded to the local forwarding engine.

39
Q

What does the CEF - Software Forwarding Information base consist of?

A

Forwarding information base and Adjacent Table

40
Q

What is the main advantage of distributed forwarding architecture Hardware CEF?

A

offloading packet switching responsibilities to line cards dCEF improves packet throughput performance.

41
Q

What is the process of dCEF?

A

CEF data structures are downloaded to the forwarding ASIC and the CPUs of all the line cards to allow for switching to be done at the distribution level “data plane”

42
Q

What is a RP route processor responsible for?

A

learning the network topology and building the route table “RIB”

43
Q

Can a “RP” Routing Processor failure trigger routing protocol adjacency to reset resulting in packet loss and instability? True/False

A

True

44
Q

What does the redundancy feature in stateful switchover (SSO) allows Cisco routers with two RPs to do?

A

synchronize router configuration and control plane state information

45
Q

The process of mirroring information between “RPs” Route Processors is referred to as what?

A

checkpointing

46
Q

During stateful switchover what two things happen immediately?

A

“RP” Route Processor immediately takes control and prevents problems such as interface link flaps.

47
Q

What does CSMA/CA stand for? What is CSMA/CA used for? CSMA/CA is used in what type of network?

A

Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance Reduces the possibility of a collision Wireless Networks

48
Q

Is each port on a bridge, switch, router in the same or different collision domain?

A

separate domain

49
Q

How many results does CAM tables provide?

A

only two results: 0 (true) or 1 (false)

50
Q

How many results does TCAM tables provide?

A

three results 0, 1, and “X-don’t care.”

51
Q

What does the forwarding engine perform?

A

Packet lookup and determines if that outbound interface is local, it forwards packet out a local interface. If the outbound interface is located on a different line card, packet is sent across the switch fabric, back plane, directly to the egress line card bypassing the RP.
