Q 
Why is this route important and translate the route into english:
Destination: 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0
Gateway: 76.30.4.1
Interface: WAN
A

Any destination with any subnet mask forward it to 76.30.4.1 using my WAN port. This tells the router exactly what to do with every incoming packet unless another line says otherwise

Q 
Translate this route into english:
Destination: 10.12.14.0
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Interface: LAN
A

Any packet for the 10.12.14.0/24 Network ID, don’t use a gateway, just ARP is on the LAN interface to get the MAC address and send to recipient

Q

Define NAT

A

Network Address Translation hides the IP addresses of computers on a LAN but still enable those computers to communicate with the broader internet. The router replaces the source IP with its outside interface address

19
Q

What are the three distinct groups of routing protocols

A

Distance Vector
Link State
Hybrid

20
Q

What is the criteria for determining a Metric

A

Hop count - one way count
Bandwidth
Latency - the issue that distance causes
Cost - route through lower bandwidth has more cost than higher bandwidth

21
Q

Define Maximum Transmission Unit

A

Maximum Transmission Unit determines the largest frame a particular technology can handle

22
Q

Define Fragmentation

A

When a IP packet is too big for a technology the packet is broken into pieces. This causes slowdowns on the network

23
Q

Define Shortest Path Bridging

A

Shortest Path Bridging is a routing metric standard to provide true shortest-path forwarding within mesh topology. Provides fast convergence and improved usage of mesh networks with multiple equal cost paths.

24
Q

Define Distance Vector

A

calculate the total cost to get to a particular network ID and compare that cost to the total cost of all the other routes. Routers using this transfer their entire routing table to other routers in WAN

25
Q

What does ‘convergence’ mean in terms of routing

A

When routers in a WAN all have the same routing table. This is also refferred to as ‘steady state’

26
Q

What is the limits of a Pure distance vector routing protocol

A

With networks with less than 10 routers

27
Q

Give an outline of Routing Information Protocol 1 ‘(RIPv1)

A

Routing Information Protocol 1

  • Distance Vector
  • IGP
  • Max hop count = 15
  • Updates sent out every 15 seconds
  • No authentication
  • Only used variable subnets within an AS
28
Q

Define Variable Length Subnet Masking

A

Networks connected through the router use different subnet masks

29
Q

What differences are found in Routing Information Protocol 2

A
  • VLSM added
  • Authentication is now built in
  • Supports Discontiguous subnets
30
Q

Define Autonomous System

A

Autonomous System is one or more networks that are governed by a single dynamic routing protocol within that AS

  • Use Special identifier = ASN
  • 32 Bit ASN (2 x 16-bit numbers, .)
  • Use EGP to communicate with each other
  • Use IGP to communicate within ASN
31
Q

Defiine Border Gateway Protocol

A

Border Gateway Protocol
Hybrid Protocol; Technically a patch vector routing protocol
- Connects ASs
- Manually Configured
- Advertise info from Edge routers
- Supports policies to limit which and how routers access ISP
- Supports route aggregation

32
Q

Define Route Aggregation

A

a way to simplify routing tables into manageable levels

33
Q

Define Edge Routers

A

AS to AS router communication

34
Q

Define Interior Gateway Protocols

A

Interrior Gateway Protocols; used to communicate within an AS

35
Q

why are the terms Interior Gateway Protocl and Exterior Gateway Protocol used

A

They are used by large ISPs to separate their interconnected routers using ASNs from other interconnected networks that are not part of this special group of companies

36
Q

What are two link state dynamic routing protocols

A

OSPF - Open Shortest Path First

IS IS - Intermediate System to Intermediate System

37
Q

What is Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

A 
Open Shortest Path First
- Link state type
- IGP
- Fast and popular
- Uses area IDs (Backbone = 0)
- Designed to work within a single AS
- Send out LSAs
- Cost based on speed; faster bandwidth is lower cost: 100,000,000/bandwidth in bps
     10BaseT link OSPF cost = 100,000,000/10,000,000 
     =10
- LSAs sent every 30 minutes
38
Q

Define Link State Advertisements (LSA)

A

Link State Advertisements, also called ‘hello packets’ in order to fine other OSPF routers. When powered on the first time it starts the process of flooding, sending a large number of LSAs.

39
Q

How do you cut down on excessive broadcast traffic in OSPF

A

Routers are grouped into ‘areas’
Central Area = Backbone = Area ID 0
- All traffic between areas go through backbone by using ABRs

40
Q

Define Area border routers (abr)

A

Area border routers are used to interconnect areas

41
Q

Define Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS IS)

A

Intermediate System to Intermediate System uses the concept of areas and send-only updates to routing tables.

  • Link State type
  • Alternative to OSPF
  • Has advantage of working with IPv6 from start
  • De facto standard for ISPs
  • Link state dynamic routing protocol
42
Q

Define Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

A

Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol is used by Cisco only.

  • Hybrid type
  • AKA Advanced Distance Vector Protocol
43
Q

Define route redistribution

A

When a routing table in one protocol is sent over to a different protocol. Helpful when using a mix of equipment.

44
Q

What is a cisco console cable

A

A rollover, or Yost cable is used to use the routers console via a terminal emulation program (putty)

45
Q

What are the basic connection settings for a serial port

A

9600 Baud
8 data bits
1 stop bit
no parity

46
Q

What technology is used to share a single public IP adress with many computers

A

Port Address Translation

47
Q

What is the traceroute used for

A

discovering information about the routers between you and the destination address
