Framing

At what layer of the OSI model would a TCP or UDP header be added to a payload? Layer 7 Layer 4 Layer 2 Layer 1
Layer 4
What address does ARP work in conjunction with IPv4 to discover? (choose all that apply) IP MAC ARP physical
MAC physical
The largest IP packet size in bytes allowable by routers in a path without fragmentation and excluding the frame size.
MTU
The IP connectionless protocol relies on what other protocol to guarantee delivery of data? UDP ICMP TCP ARP
TCP
The_________________routing protocol is a link-state routing protocol based on the shortest path forst algorithm to find the path with the least cost to a destination in a network.
The OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
R- Describe the difference between dynamic ARP table entries and static ARP table entries.
The difference between dynamic ARP table entries and static ARP table entries is that with dynamic entries, the ARP cache is automatically updated. Static entries on the other hand are configured manually using the "arp -s" command.
R- Compare the three categories of routers.
The first type of routers are interior routers which directs data within one autonomous system. Gateway routers however connect an autonomous system with an outside network, and exterior routers direct data between systems.
Properties of a route used by routing protocols to determine the best path to a destination when various paths are available. Routing metrics may be calculated using any of several variables, including hop count, bandwidth, delay, MTU, cost, and reliability.
routing metric
Which of the following are types of entries an ARP table contains? (choose all that apply) Static Flat Basic Dynamic
static dynamic
The TCP three way_______________ is performed before TCP transmits the actual data.
three way handshake
What field in an IPv4 packet informs routers the level of precedence they should apply when processing an incoming packet? Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Internet header length (IHL) Time to Live (TTL) Padding
Differentiated Services (DiffServ)
What parameter can be combined with the traceroute command to instruct it to use ICMP echo requests instead of UDP datagrams? -n -p -I -d
-I
What protocol replaces ARP, IGMP, and ICMPv4 on IPv6 based networks? ARPng BGPv6 IGMPv6 ICMPv6
ICMPv6
R- What is the difference between static and dynamic routing?
The main difference between dynamic and static routing is that when using static routing, routes and route information must be entered and updated manually, and no route information is exchanged between routing devices. While when one is using dynamic routing, routing information is communicated between devices automatically and changes in the network are easily recognized.
True or false-IP is an unreliable, connectionless protocol.
True
True or false-On IPv4 networks, IGMP operates at the Network layer of the OSI model to manage multicasting.
True
R- List some examples of routing metrics that might be used to determine the best path for data.
Two routing metrics that could be used to determine the best path for data are the hop count which is the number of hops to reach a node, and the costs which are the numbers associated with travelling between two points.
When viewing the routing table on a UNIX system, what flag indicates if a route is a usable route? I H G U
U
___'s lack of sophistication makes it more efficient than TCP.
UDP
A number indicating a protocol's reliability, with lower values being given higher priority. This assignment can be changed by a network administrator when one protocol should take precedence over a previously higher-rated protocol on a network.
administrative distance
A globally unique number that identifies an autonomous system. ASNs work similarly to IP addresses that identify individual nodes on a network. Each ASN now consists of 32 bits instead of 16 bits, and they are assigned by IANA.
autonomous system number
A router that directs data between networks within the same autonomous system.
interior router
The delay between the transmission of a signal and its receipt.
latency
What type of routing protocol enables routers to communicate beyond neighboring routers, allowing each router to create a map of an entire network? distance vector link state exterior gateway map extension
link state
A process whereby routers learn about all of the devices on their networks. On IPv4 networks, this process is managed by ARP with help from ICMP. On IPv6 networks, NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) automatically detects neighboring devices and automatically adjusts when nodes fail or are removed from the network.
neighbor discovery
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is a _______ layer core protocol that reports on the success or failure of data delivery.
network
What happens when a router receives a packet with a TTL of 0? The router attempts to forward the traffic on a local network. The router drops the packet and sends an ICMP TTL expired message back to the host. The router resets the TTL to 128. The router marks the packet as corrupted and forwards it to the next hop.
The router drops the packet and sends an ICMP TTL expired message back to the host.
