Network Assurance Flashcards
Netflow, SPAN, SNMP, IP SLA, DNA Center, etc.
What is SNMP?
Simple Network Management Protocol
What are the key differences of SNMPv3 over v1 and v2?
- User authentication
- Username hashing (MD5 and SHA)
- Encryption
What are the key elements that need to be configured on a Cisco device to send SNMP data to a client?
- SNMP host/client
- Access Lists to restrict SNMP
- Read Only Community String
- Read Write Community String
- SNMP location
- SNMP contact
What is the command to send SNMP to a client or host?
R1(config)# snmp-server community {string} {ro | rw} {access-list-id}
What is an SNMP trap?
An alert that can be sent via SNMP in response to a network event
What is the command to enable SNMP traps on a Cisco device?
R1(config)# snmp-server enable traps [type]
There are a lot of SNMP trap types that can be enables. Not specifying a trap type will enable all SNMP traps which may not be desirable.
What are the 8 levels of Syslog Severity Messages?
7 - Debug
6 - Informational
5 -Notifications
4 - Warning
3 - Errors
2 - Critical
1 - Alerts
0 -Emergency
What command is used to send log messages to the local device’s buffer?
R1(config)# logging buffer {buffer-size-in-bytes} {severity-level}
NOTE: The severity level can be numbered or the word. Log events up to the configured level will be logged.
What command is used to verify logging on a Cisco device?
R1# show logging
What port is used by Syslog to send logging information to a remote Syslog collector?
UDP 514
What command is used on a Cisco device to send Syslog to a remote host?
R1(config)# logging host {ip-address}
What is the port used by the Netflow protocol?
Netflow is UDP but it does NOT have an assigned port number. Each flow sensor will use a unique port number as designated by an admin.
What are the three pieces you need to configure to create flexible netflow on a router?
Flow Record
Flow Export
Flow Monitor
What two things do you need to do to configure a flow record?
1.) Use the “match” command to define the flow criteria
2.) Use the “collect” command to define what data you want to gather from the flow
What two things do you need to do to configure a flow exporter?
1.) The destination collector server, using the destination command
2.) The port number for the flow sensor using the transport udp {port} command
What two things do you need to configure a flow monitor?
1.) the flow record to be used with the record NAME command
2.) the flow exporter to be used with the exporter NAME command
