PPP, MLPPP, Frame Relay Flashcards
A layer 2 encapsulation commonly used on leased lines, which supports authentication, compression, error checking and correction, and a logical multilink interface
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
The default Layer 2 encapsulation found on Cisco serial interfaces.
High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC)
A type of authentication used by PPP that sends the PAP password across the network in clear text
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)
A type of authentication used by PPP that sends a hash over the network instead of the actual password
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
A protocol used by PPP to setup, maintain, and teardown a connection.
Link Control Protocol
The protocols used to negotiate the configuration of protocols being used over a PPP link
Network Control Protocols (NCPs)
What command would configure PPP on serial link interface 1/1?
encapsulation PPP
What command would show you the type of encapsulation used on serial interface 1/1?
show interface s1/0
What command configures PAP with the username of “papserver” and a password of “pappass” in global configuration mode?
username papserver password pappass
What command configures the PAP server for serial interface 1/0 on Router 1? What command configures the connected router R2 serial interface 1/0 to use PAP through this connection with a username of papuser?
ppp authentication pap ppp pap sent-username papuser password pappass
What command configures a router to use CHAP?
ppp authentication chap
What command allows you to configure Stac compression on serial interface 1/0 of R1?
compress stac
What command will allow you to verify the compression of a ping (ex. ping 10.1.1.1 size 1500)?
show compress
What command allows you to set up error detection on serial interface 1/0 of R1?
ppp reliable-link
What command allows you to verify the configuration of error detection on R1 serial interface 1/0?
show interface s1/0
What command would allow you to logically combine two physical serial links between R1 and R2 into a virtual interface, giving us extra bandwidth and load balancing?
After the multilink i created, what needs to be configured for interface multilink 1?
interface multilink 1
ip address
Four serial interfaces with two serial links are grouped together into a multilink between R1 and R2. R1’s S 1/0 has an IP address of 10.1.1.30 /30. The interface multilink command was issued on this interface and this ip address was taken from the interface to configure it. What commands need to be executed on the other serial interfaces of R1?
no ip address ppp multilink group 1
What command allows you to verify the line protocol status of a configured multilink?
show ip int brief
What PPP feature does not work well with multilink configuration?
Compression
What command creates a logical dialer interface for PPoE client side router?
int dialer 1
What command allows R1’s dialer 1 interface to dynamically learn an ip address from the PPoE server (ISP)?
ip address negotiated
What protocol is used to dynamically learn an IP address in PPoE?
IPCP (IP Control Protocol)
What is the best practice MTU size setting used with PPP?
- PPP has an 8 byte header
What command allows you to associate the dynamically learned ip address from a PPoE server with dialer pool 10?
dialer pool 10
What command allows you to associate an interface with dialer pool 10?
ppoe-client dial-pool-number 10
What does spoofing indicate?
That the data link operation is being held elsewhere (virtual)
What verification command displays ppoe information regarding the MAC addresses of the remote and local router?
show ppoe session
What are the common PPP / PPoE troubleshooting issues?
Encapsulation mismatch
Authentication mismatch
Dialer interface misconfiguration
Dialer pool misconfiguration
Clocking on physical interface
What command allows you to verify the DTE / DCE configuration of Serial 0/1/0
show controllers
What command allows you to verify that clocking is set on Serial 0/2/0?
show run | begin s0/2/0
R1 and R2 are connected with a leased line between them, and R1 was configured to use PPP authentication CHAP. The password is Fred. What command would complete the configuration on R1 so that CHAP can work correctly?
username R2 password Fred
Which username must be configured on routers for PPP CHAP authentication?
Username that matches hostname of other router
What happens by default when Frame Relay encapsulation is enabled?
Physical interface on Cisco router is configured as multipoint
What type of interfaces are preferred in a full-mesh Frame Relay topology?
multipoint
When multipoint sub interfaces are used, where should all participating interfaces reside?
in the same subnet
What type of topology does Dynamic Multipoint virtual private network typically use?
hub and spoke
What happens when the “ppp authentication pap” command is configured?
One way, inbound authentication by PAP only
What command would you need to configure for outbound PAP authentication?
ppp pap sent-username [user-name] password [password]
What happens if the “ppp authentication chap pap” command is issued on a router interface?
It will first attempt to authenticate with CHAP. If CHAP is not supported it will try with PAP
