True
False

transparent, server, and client
master, server, and client
open, closed, and active

Describe Port Bonding?
Joining two or more Ports logically in a Switch so that they work together as a Team to increase bandwidth.
Describe VTP Pruning?
Useful tool on a larger scale for minimizing broadcast traffic.
Briefly describe what happens when a computer comes to a DNS load balancing server for resolution?
DNS load balancing responds with A Records, and spaces out requests across multple servers.
The load balancing will do either a round robin via DNS or delegate a reverse lookup to handle the request from a computer.
What is the advantage of using Cisco’s VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)?
Updates Switch VTP Clients/Servers within minutes, can cut down big jobs of changing every Switch manually.
Describe a Reverse Proxy Server?
Acts on behalf of its Servers.
Protects the Server from the outside.
Higher Security, can handle DoS Attacks
Hides the Server.

network-based IDS (NIDS)
The term ________ management refers to plugging dedicated ports into a switch that is totally separate from the rest of the network, which will prevent unauthorized access to those ports?
out-of-band
