Ch4 Routing Concepts Flashcards
IPv6 Loopback Address
::1/128
Data Communications Equipment
DCE
Side of serial cable that sends /sets clock rate
Usually Female
Data Terminal Equipment
DTE
Side of Serial Cable that receives the clock rate
Usually Male
Network Characteristics (7)
Topology Speed Cost Availability Security Scalability Reliability
Router Memory Types
RAM; volatile; system memory runs IOS running config
ROM: non-volatile; bootstrap
NVRAM: non-volatile; startup-config files
Flash: non-volatile: IOS and other system files
Packet Forwarding Mechanisms
Process Switching
Fast Switching
Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)
Process Switching
Matches destination address with routing table and determines exit interface; slowest because process is done for every packet incoming.
Fast Switching
Uses fast switch cache to store next-hop information; if packet has no known destination then it is process switched then later packets to same destination are fast-switched
Cisco Express Forwarding
CEF;Cisco proprietary version of fast switching using Forwarding Information Base(FIB) and adjacency table; not packet triggered but change triggered; fastest
FIB contains pre-computed reverse lookups, next hop router info, and layer 2 information
Information Needed for Router Set-Up
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Configure Switch for IP Address
interface _interface_id ip address _ip_address subnet_mask no shutdown exit id default-gateway _ip_address
Procedure for Securing Router Management
enable secret _password line console 0 password login exit line vty 0 4 password _password login exit service password-encryption
Setting Banner Procedure
banner motd $ Message $ ; $= delimiting character which is any character not in message.
Configuring IPv4 Interface on Router
interface _interface_id description _240_char_max_description ip address _ip_address subnet_mask clock rate _value_ :sets on DCE side of Serial Cbl no shutdown
Configuring IPv4 Loopback Interface
interface loopback Lo _value
ip address _ip_address subnet_mask
exit
show ip interface brief
displays summary of interfaces with IP address and operational status
show ip route
displays contents of IPv4 routing table in RAM
C : direct connection
L : local connection
show running-config interface
displays configured commands on specific interface.
