What is the proper subnet mask for an IP address of 192.168.1.1/24?
255.255.255.0
What is the name of the static route that routes all packets destined for networks that are not specifically included in the routing table?
Default route
What does the command “show IP route” do when executed on a router?
Shows the routing table information
If a network is unknown, what is the name of the special address used to communicate with it?
Default gateway
Interconnects locations scattered throughout a metropolitan area
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
Interconnects network components within a limited region
Local Area Network (LAN)
Network with a scale even smaller than a LAN. May use wireless or USB
Personal Area Network (PAN)
Interconnects network components that are geographically dispersed
Wide Area Network (WAN)
What is the name of the unit in the Physical Layer of the OSI model?
Bits
What command is used to test communications with another machine on the network?
Ping
What is the name of a Layer 2 connection that supports transporting multiple VLANs on the same link between devices?
Trunk Port
When configuring a floating static route, what must you do first?
Determine the alternate path
This provides resources to a network
Server
It might be a workstation, laptop, smartphone, or a variety of other end-user terminal devices
Client
Technology that interconnects networks
WAN Link
This device can be copper or fiber optic cable
Media
An older technology that interconnects network components. It has a variable number of available ports
Hub
It interconnects network components, and it has a variety of port densities. It does not simply take traffic and blast it out all other ports. Rather, it learns which devices reside off of which ports.
Switch
It is a device that makes its forwarding decisions based on logical network addresses
Router
SVI
Switch Virtual Interface
Represents a logical Layer 3 interface on a switch
What is the value of the Native VLAN?
1
A more efficient design that involves the logical separation of a switch ports into different broadcast domains is known as a ___
VLAN
If the bridge priorities are the same, how is a switch elected as a root bridge for a spanning tree?
The switch with the lowest MAC address will become the root bridge
What is the name of a VLAN that is transported over a trunk port without an 802.1q tag?
Native VLAN
VTP
VLAN Trunk Protocol
Used to distribute and synchronize identifying information about VLANs configured throughout a switched network
Configurations made to a single VTP server are propagated across trunk links to all connected switches in the network
What is a synonym for routed port?
Layer 3 Port
What standard is used to prevent switching loops? (The IEEE number)
IEEE 802.1D
Layer 2 connection that supports transporting multiple VLANs on the same link between devices
Trunk Port
The four states of STP
Blocking, listening, learning, forwarding
