Network+ Guide to Networks (Eighth Edition) Chapter 4 Review Questions

A routing protocol's reliability and priority are rated by what measurement?

AD (Administrative Distance)

Which protocol is supported by ICMPv6 to facilitate neighbor discovery on an IPv6 network?

NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol)

Which routing protocol does an exterior router use to collect data to build its routing tables?

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)

What field in a TCP segment is used to determine if an arriving data unit exactly matches the data unit sent by the source?

Checksum

What is the difference between dynamic ARP table entries and static ARP table entries?

Dynamic ARP table entries are created when a client makes an ARP request, whereas static ARP tables entries are entered manually using the ARP utility

Which Linux utility provides output similar to Wireshark?

tcpdump

When a router can't determine a path to a message's destination, where does it send the message?

Gateway of last resort

Which two fields in an Ethernet frame help synchronize device communications but are not counted toward the frame's size?

Preamble and SFD

Which OSI layer is responsible for directing data fro one LAN to another?

Network Layer

At which OSI layer does IP operate?

Network layer

What three characteristics about TCP distinguish it from UDP?

TCP is connection-oriented, uses sequencing and checksums, and provides flow control

Give three examples of routing metrics used by routers to determine the best various available routing paths.

(Any three) Hop count, theoretical bandwidth, actual throughput, path latency (or delay), path load, MTU, cost, reliability, network topology

List three IGPs (interior gateway protocols)

(Any three) RIP, RIPv2 (RIP2), IS-IS, OSPF, EIGRP

What process is used to establish a TCP connection?

Three-way handshake

What four functions do all routers perform?

1. Connect dissimilar networks 2. Interpret Layers 3 and 4 addressing and other information 3. Determine the best path for data to follow 4. Reroute traffic if a primary path is down but another path is available

What database does a router consult before determining the most efficient path for delivering a message?

Its routing table

What kind of route is created when a network administrator configures a router to use a specific path between nodes?

Static Route

Which protocol's header would a Layer 4 device read and process?

TCP
