Cisco's proprietary standard, similar to VRRP, that assigns a virtual IP address to a group of routers.

HSRP (Hot Standby Routing Protocol)

What type of VLAN automatically receives all untagged frames?

Native VLAN

What protocol is used to provide a common language between virtualization service applications and a network's physical devices?

OpenFlow

To eliminate the possibility of traffic loops on switches and bridges, the ___________ is used.

STP

Which two properties indicate to other connectivity devices which VLAN a transmission belongs to?

Because Layer 2 switches use MAC addresses for communication, and each port is assigned a MAC address, VLANs are considered a LAyer 2 solution for segmenting a network.

True

The Spanning Tree Protocol stipulates that on any bridge, only one root port, which is the bridge's port that is closest to the root bridge, can forward frames toward the root bridge.

True

The use of virtualization allows for isolation of each guest system such that problems on one system do not affect another system.

True

A ____________ occurs when an attacker generates transmissions that appear, to the switch, to belong to a protected VLANS.

VLAN hopping attack

An attack in which the attacker generates transmission that appear, to the switch, to belong to a protected VLAN.

VLAN hopping attack

A standard that assigns a virtual IP address to a group of routers.

VRRP

Which of the following describes a router protocol that is used to assign a virtual IP address to a group of routers so that the routers function as a group?

VRRP, HSRP

A server that exists as a virtual machine, created and managed by visualization software on a host, or physical, computer.

Virtual server

In order to allow communication between VLANs for exchange of data, what must be used?

a router

The interface on a switch used for an end mode. Device connected to access ports are unaware of VLAN information.

access port

STP selects the root bridge based on which parameter?

The interface on a switch capable of managing traffic from multiple VLANS.

trunk port
