Question | Answer |
---|---|
CAM | Content Addressable Memory in a Switch |
Store and Forward | Entire frame is stored in memory, checked, and then sent to it's destination |
Cut Through | Frame is forwarded before all of it is received |
CRC | Cyclic Redundancy Check |
FCS | Frame Check Sequence |
Fast Forward | Frame is forwarded as soon as destination MAC is received |
Fragment Free | First 64 bytes are read before forwarded to prevent runts |
Adaptive Cut Through | Starts switching Fast Forward, but changes to Store and Forward if there are a lot of errors |
STP | Spanning Tree Protocol |
BPDU | Bridge Protocol Data Units used by STP by multicasting to other switches every 2 seconds |
STP Port Power On States | Blocking (solid amber), Listening (blinking amber), Learning (blinking amber), Forwarding (blinking green) |
Root Bridge | The focal point switch that is elected based on Bridge ID (BID) |
BID | Bridge ID=Bridge Priority + MAC address, lower BID wins. Same BID, lower MAC wins |
Root Port | Least cost path back to the root bridge |
Designated Port | Not the least cost path back to the root bridge |
Blocked Port | Does not forward traffic (not the same as disabled port) |
STP PortFast | Access port enters forwarding state immediately |
STP UplinkFast | Accelerates the choice of a root port |
STP BackboneFast | Provides fast convergence after a STP topology change |
Spanning Tree Protocol IEEE | IEEE 802.1D |
Rapid STP IEEE | IEEE 802.1w |
RSTP | Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (not proprietary like PortFast) |
RSTP Port States | discarding, learning, forwarding |
VMPS | VLAN Management Policy Server |
Management VLAN | VLAN 1, aka native VLAN |
Frame Tagging | VLAN ID is inserted into the ethernet frame |
Frame Tagging Standard | IEEE 802.1Q aka dot1q |
VLAN functions | Limits size of broadcast domains, improves network performance, provides security |
ISL | Cisco proprietary frame tagging standard "Inter-Switch Link" |
Where untagged frames go | VLAN 1 |
ACL | Access Control Lists |
Standard ACL | ACL based on Source IP in Packet. 1-99 |
Extended ACL | ACL based on SRC, DEST, protocol. 100-199 |
Named ACL | NACL referenced by a descriptive name rather than a number |
BCP | Business Continuity Plan |
BSP | Business Security Plan |
NMP | Network Maintenance Plan |
SLA | Service Level Agreement |
IDF | Intermediate Distribution Facility |
MDF | Main Distribution Facility |
Microsegment | A connection between ports on a switch made by a virtual circuit |
VTP | Vlan Trunking Protocol, layer 2, distributes vlan database |
Hierarchical Addressing | Address structure where branches of a network are subnets of the larger network |
Route Aggregation | syn: Route summarization |
Quad Zero Route | 0.0.0.0 |
Distance Vector Protocols | Routing Protocols where routers rely on their direct neighbor for information about where other networks are located. |
RIPng | RIP Next Generation, 15 hops max, split horizon and poison reverse, |
RIPv2 | Classless routing, VLSM, CIDR, authentication, multicasts every 30s, AD=120, UDP520 |
RIPv1 | Classful routing, automatic summary, broadcasts every 30 s, AD=120, UDP520 |
split horizon | router does not send routing info from the interface it came in on |
route poisoning | setting the route to 16 to stop traffic on route to break loops |
poisoned reverse | setting network or subnet to "unreachable" to break loops |
holdown | a router stops sending or receiving info for a set amount of time to remove bad routes. |
RIP request | requesting RIP neighbors to report routes |
RIP response | RIP router sends out responses to RIP requests |
triggered update | RIP router sends out it's routing table update |
EIGRP advantages | Cisco only, VLSM, DUAL, fast convergence, loop free, composite metric, hello packets |
DUAL | Diffusing Update Algorithm |
Admin Dist of RIP | 120 |

EIGRP Packets | Ack, Update, Query, Reply |
RTP | Reliable Transport Protocol works on proprietary Layer 4 |
PDM | Protocol Dependent Module |
EIGRP Metrics | delay, reliability, load |
EIGRP FD | Feasible Distance (the best path) |
