Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 SUBNETTING Subnetting is the process of Dividing a Single Network into Multiple networks. Converting Host bits into Network Bits i.e. Converting 0s into 1s
Subnetting can be performing in two ways. 1. FLSM (Fixed Length Subnet Mask) 2. VLSM (Variable Length subnet mask) Subnetting can be done based on requirement . Requirement of Hosts? Requirement of Networks? 2h - 2 >= requirement 2n >= requirement
FLSM : Example-- 1 Req = 40 hosts using C-class address network 192.168.1.0/24 2h - 2 >= req 26 2 >= 40 64 2 >= 40 62 >= 40 Host bits required (h) = 6 Borrowed network Bits (n) = Total. H. Bits -- req. H. Bits = 8 --- 6 = 2 Borrowed network Bits (n) = 2 Total . N. Bits = 24 + 2 = /26 Hosts/Subet = 2h - 2 = 26 2 = 64 2 = 62 Hosts/Subet Subnets = 2n = 22 = 4 Subnets Customized subnet mask = (/26)= 255.255.255.192

Variable-Length Subnet Mask (VLSM): v VLSM is used for proper implementation of IP addresses which allows more than one subnet mask for a given network according to the individual needs v Logically dividing one network into smaller networks is called as Subnetting or VLSM. v One subnet can be subnetted for multiple times for efficient use. v Requires Classless Routing Protocols. Advantages Efficient Use of IP addresses: Without VLSMs, networks would have to use the same subnet mask throughout the network. But all your networks dont have the same number of hosts. Example of a VLSMs Networks

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 What is Supernetting or CIDR? Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) merges or combines network addresses of same class into one single address to reduce the size of the routing table. It is done on core router to reduce the size of routing table. It is implemented by ISP (internet service providers).

Session Layer o It deals with sessions or Interactions between the applications. o It is responsible for establishing, maintaining and terminating the sessions. o Session ID is used to identify a session or interaction Ex: RPC, SQL, NFS Transport Layer It is responsible for end-to-end transportation of data between the applications. The major functions described at the Transport Layer are... Identifying Service Multiplexing & De-multiplexing Segmentation Sequencing & Reassembling Error Correction Flow Control
Identifying a Service: Services are identified at this layer with the help of Port Nos. The major protocols which takes care of Data Transportation at Transport layer areTCP, UDP
11
TCP Transmission Control Protocol Connection Oriented Reliable communication( with Acks ) Slower data Transportation Protocol No is 6 Eg: HTTP, FTP, SMTP
UDP User Datagram Protocol Connection Less Unreliable communication ( no Acks ) Faster data Transportation Protocol No is 17 Eg: DNS, DHCP, TFTP
Network Layer It is responsible for end-to end Transportation of data across multiple networks. Logical addressing & Path determination (Routing) are described at this layer. The protocols works at Network layer are Routed Protocols: Routed protocols acts as data carriers and defines logical addressing. IP, IPX, AppleTalk... Etc Routing Protocols: Routing protocols performs Path determination (Routing). RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF.. Etc
Devices works at Network Layer are Router, Multilayer switch etc..
Data-link Layer It is responsible for end-to-end delivery of data between the devices on a Network segment. Data link layer comprises of two sub-layers. 1) MAC (Media Access Control) It deals with hardware addresses (MAC addresses). MAC addresses are 12 digit Hexa-decimal identifiers used to identify the devices uniquely on the network segment. It also provides ERROR DETECTION using CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) and FRAMING (Encapsulation). Ex: Ethernet, Token ringetc NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 12

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 F T P (File Transfer Protocol) It allows you to transfer files from one machine to another. It also allows access to both directories and files. It uses TCP for data transfer and hence slow but reliable. T F T P (File Transfer Protocol) This is striped down version of FTP. It has no directory browsing abilities. It can only send and receive files. It uses UDP for data transfer and hence faster but not reliable. Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP enable a central management of Network. Using SNMP an administrator can watch the entire network. SNMP works with TCP/IP. IT uses UDP for transportation of the data. DNS (Domain Name Service) DNS resolves FQDN with IP address. DNS allows you to use a domain name to specify and IP address. It maintains a database for IP address and Hostnames. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) The DHCP server dynamically assigns IP address to hosts.
Host- to Host layer TCP Transmission Control Protocol Connection Oriented Reliable communication( with Acks ) Slower data Transportation Protocol No is 6 Eg: HTTP, FTP, SMTP UDP User Datagram Protocol Connection Less Unreliable communication ( no Acks ) Faster data Transportation Protocol No is 17 Eg: DNS, DHCP, TFTP
The Internet Layer Protocols Internet Protocol (IP) Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 15
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) Internet Protocol (IP) Provides connectionless, best-effort delivery routing of datagrams. IP is not concerned with the content of the datagrams. It looks for a way to move the datagrams to their destination. Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) ICMP messages are carried in IP datagrams and used to send error and control messages. The following are some common events and messages that ICMP relates to: Destination Unreachable Ping Traceroute Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) ARP works at Internet Layer of DoD Model It is used to resolve MAC address with the help of a known IP address. RARP (Reverse ARP) This also works at Internet Layer. It works exactly opposite of ARP. It resolves an IP address with the help of a known MAC address. DHCP is the example of an RARP implementation.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 INTRODUCTION TO ROUTERS What is a Router? Router is a device which makes communication possible between two or more different networks present in same or different geographical locations. It is an internetworking device used to connect two or more different networks It works on layer 3 i.e. network layer.
It does two basic things: Select the best path from the routing table. Forward the packet on that path
Other Vendors apart from Cisco Many companies are manufacturing Router: Nortel Multicom Cyclades Juniper Dlink Linksys 3Com
Router Classification FIXED ROUTER Fixed router (Non Upgradeable cannot add and remove the Ethernet or serial interfaces) Doesnt have any slot MODULAR ROUTER Modular router (Upgradeable can add and remove interfaces as per the requirement) Number of slots available depend on the series of the router

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 WAN CONNECTIONS WAN connections are divided into three types 1) Dedicated line 2) Circuit switched 3) Packet switched
Dedicated line: Permanent connection for the destination Used for short or long distance Bandwidth is fixed Availability is 24/7 Charges are fixed whether used or not. Uses analog circuits Always same path is used for destination Example is Leased Line
Circuit switched: It is also used for short and medium distances. Bandwidth is fixed Charges depend on usage of line Also called as line on demand. NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 25
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Usually used for backup line Connects at BRI port of router
ISDN and PSTN are the examples
Packet switched: Used for medium or longer connections Bandwidth is shared Many virtual connections on one physical connection Example: - Frame Relay
Leased line: - A permanent/dedicated physical connection which is used to connect two different geographical areas. This connection is provided by telecommunication companies like BSNL in India. Leased line provides service 24/7 through out the year, not like Dial-up Connection which can be connected when required. Leased Lines are obtained depending on the annual rental basis. Moreover, its rent depends on the distance between the sites. LEASED LINE IS OF THREE TYPES 1) SHORT LEASED LINE 2) MEDIUM LEASED LINE 3) LONG LEASE LINE (IPLC) Short leased line which is used with in the city and cost is also less for it. Medium leased line is used to connect sites in two different states like Hyderabad and Chennai. Long Leased Line also called as IPLC. It stands for International private lease circuit uses to connect two different countries. Its the most expensive among all. Leased Line provides excellent quality of service with high speed of data transmission. As its a private physical connection assures complete security and privacy even with voice. Speed of the leased line varies from 64 kbps to 2 Mbps or more. Always Leased Line has fixed bandwidth.
Note:Once leased line is setup not only we can send data but transmission of voice is also possible. NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 26
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 In addition to this, both voice and date can be sent simultaneously.

A Back to Back Cable is used which emulates the copper wire, modems and MUX, the complete exchange setup. Without DCE & DTE device communication is not possible. V.35 Back to Back Cable Note: - while practicing labs we use V.35 cable for back to back connection with router where as in real time V.35 cable terminates at the Lease Line Modem. Thats the reason we have to use clock rate command in the labs where as its not require in the real scenario. CSU/DSU is used to generate the speed. In different countries different codes are used for Leased Line with different speeds. In Europe its is identified as E whereas in UK its is identified with letter T In Europe, there are five types of lines distinguished according to their speed: E0 (64Kbps), E1 = 32 E0 lines (2Mbps), E1 = 128 E0 lines (8Mbps), E3 = 16 E1 lines (34Mbps), E4 = 64 E1 lines (140Mbps)
In the United States, the concept is as follows: 1. T1 (1.544 Mbps) NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 28
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Advantages O O O O O Complete secure High bandwidth High speed connection Superior quality Reliable Disadvantages O Expensive O Permanent physical connection
2. T2 = 4 T1 lines (6 Mbps), 3. T3 = 28 T1 lines (45 Mbps), 4. T4 = 168 T1 lines (275 Mbps)
WAN Protocols Leased Lines uses two types of WAN encapsulation protocols: 1) High Data Link Protocol (HDLC) 2) Point to Point Protocol (PPP) PPP HDLC
Higher level data link Control protocol Cisco Proprietary Layer 2 WAN Protocol Doesnt support Authentication Doesnt support Compression and error correction
Point to Point Protocol Standard Layer 2 WAN Protocol Supports Authentication Support error correction
PPP supports two authentication protocols: 1) PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) 2) CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) PAP provides a simple method for a remote node to establish its identity using a twoway handshake. NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 29
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 PAP is done only upon initial link establishment PAP is not a strong authentication protocol. Passwords are sent across the link in clear text.
CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) After the PPP link establishment phase is complete, the local router sends a unique challenge message to the remote node. The remote node responds with a value (MD5) The local router checks the response against its own calculation of the expected hash value. If the values match, the authentication is acknowledged. Otherwise, the connection is terminated immediately.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 FRAME RELAY Frame Relay is a connection oriented, standard NBMA layer 2 WAN protocol Connections in Frame Relay are provided by Virtual circuits. Virtual circuits are multiple logical connections on same physical connection
Frame Relay virtual connection types. a) PVC b) SVC A) PVC (permanent virtual connection): Similar to the dedicated leased line. Permanent connection is used. When constant data has to be sent to a particular destination. Always use the same path. B) SVC (switched virtual connection) Virtual connection is dynamically built when data has to be send and torn down after use. It is similar to the circuit switched network like dial on demand. Also called as semi-permanent virtual circuit. For periodic intervals of data with small quantity There are two types of Frame relay encapsulations 1. Cisco (default and Cisco proprietary) 2. IETF (when different vendor routers are used)
DLCI (data link connection identifier):-
35
Address of Virtual connections For every VC there is one DLCI number. Locally significant and provided by Frame Relay service provider. Inverse ARP (address resolution protocol) is used to map local DLCI to a remote IP.
LMI (Local management interface):LMI allows DTE (router) to send status enquiry messages (keep alive)to DCE (frame relay switch) to exchange status information about the virtual circuits devices for checking the connectivity. Frame relay LMI types? 1. CISCO (Default) 2. ANSI 3. Q933A Note:- On Cisco router LMI is auto sense able no need to configure Frame relay virtual connection status types:1) Active: - Connection is up and operation between two DTEs exist 2) Inactive: - Connection is functioning between at least between DTE and DCE 3) Deleted: - The local DTE/DCE connection is not functioning. DLCI (data link connection identifier): Address of Virtual connections For every VC there is one DLCI number. Locally significant and provided by Frame Relay service provider. Inverse ARP (address resolution protocol) is used to map local DLCI to a remote IP. Frame relay network connections. 1)Point to Point 2)Point to Multipoint (NBMA) Congestion indicates traffic problem in the path when more packets are transmitted in one direction. NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 36
Congestion notifications 1) FECN (forward explicit congestion notification) 2) BECN (backward explicit congestion notification) FECN BECN Used by the destination (and send to source) to indicate that there is congestion. Used this value inside frame relay frame header in backward direction BCEN =0 indicates no congestion Indicates congestion as frame goes from source to destination Used this value inside frame relay frame header in forward direction FCEN =0 indicates no congestion
ADVANTAGES VCs overcome the scalability problem of leased line by providing the multiple logical circuits over the same physical connection Cheaper Best quality VCs are full duplex

Rules of Routing HYD Ethernet interface should be in the same network as your HYD LAN and similarly on KSA side. HYD S0 and KSA S1 should be in same network. HYD LAN and KSA LAN should be in different Network. All interfaces of Router should be in different network.
Types of Routing 1. Static Routing 2. Default Routing 3. Dynamic Routing Static Routing It is configured by Administrator manually. Mandatory need of Destination Network ID It is Secure & fast Used for Small organizations with a network of 10-15 Routers. NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 38
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Administrative distance for Static Route is 0 and 1. Administrative distance: It is the trustworthiness of the routing information. Lesser the Administrative distance, higher the preference. Disadvantages: Used for small network. Everything to manually Network change effect complete n/W

DYNAMIC ROUTING
Advantages of Dynamic over static: There is no need to know the destination networks. Need to advertise the directly connected networks. Updates the topology changes dynamically. Administrative work is reduced Used for large organizations. Neighbor routers exchange routing information and build the routing table automatically. Types of Dynamic Routing Protocols Distance Vector Protocol Link State Protocol Hybrid Protocol
DISTANCE VECTOR PROTOCOL
LINK STATE PROTOCOL
HYBRID PROTOCOL
Works with Bellman Ford algorithm Periodic updates Classful routing protocol Full Routing tables are exchanged Updates are through broadcast Example: RIP 1, RIP 2, IGRP
Works with Dijkstra algorithm Link state updates Classless routing protocol Missing routes are exchanged Updates are through multicast Example : OSPF, IS-IS
Also called as Advance Distance vector Protocol Works with DUAL algorithm Link state updates Classless routing protocol Missing routes are exchanged Updates are through multicast Example : EIGRP
Administrative Distance Rating of the Trustworthiness of a routing information source. The Number is between 0 and 255 The higher the value, the lower the trust. Default administrative distances are as follows : Directly Connected = 0 NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Static Route = 1 IGRP = 100 OSPF = 110 RIP = 120 EIGRP = 90/170
Routing Information Protocol v1 Open Standard Protocol Classful routing protocol Updates are broadcasted via 255.255.255.255 Administrative distance is 120 Metric : Hop count Max Hop counts: 15 Max routers: 16 Load Balancing of 4 equal paths Used for small organizations Exchange entire routing table for every 30 seconds Rip Timers Update timer : 30 sec Time between consecutive updates Invalid timer : 180 sec Time a router waits to hear updates The route is marked unreachable if there is no update during this interval. Flush timer : 240 sec Time before the invalid route is purged from the routing table
RIP Version 2 Classless routing protocol Supports VLSM Auto summary can be done on every router Supports authentication Trigger updates Uses multicast address 224.0.0.9.

Administrative distance is 110 It is a classless routing protocol It supports VLSM and CIDR It supports only equal cost load balancing Introduces the concept of Areas to ease management and control traffic Provides hierarchical network design with multiple different areas Must have one area called as area 0 All the areas must connect to area 0 Scales better than Distance Vector Routing protocols. Supports Authentication Updates are sent through multicast address 224.0.0.5 Faster convergence. Sends Hello packet every 10 seconds Trigger/Incremental updates Routers send only changes in updates and not the entire routing tables in periodic updates
Router ID The highest IP address of the active physical interface of the router is Router ID. If logical interface is configured, the highest IP address of the logical interface is Router ID

Router Types In OSPF depending upon the network design and configuration we have different types of routers. Internal Routers are routers whose interfaces all belong to the same area. These routers have a single Link State Database. Area Border Routers (ABR) It connects one or more areas to the backbone area and has at least one interface that belongs to the backbone, Backbone Router Area 0 routers Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) Router participating in OSPF and other protocols (like RIP, EIGRP and BGP)
OSPF maintains three tables : 1) Neighbor Table Neighbor table contains information about the directly connected ospf neighbors forming adjacency. Database table contains information about the entire view of the topology with respect to each router. 53
2) Database table
3) Routing information Table
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Routing table contains information about the best path calculated by the shortest path first algorithm in the database table.
Advantages of OSPF Open standard No hop count limitations Loop free Faster convergence Disadvantages Consume more CPU resources Support only equal cost balancing Support only IP protocol dont work on IPX and APPLE Talk Summarization only on ASBR and ABR

ACCESS CONTROL LIST

ACL is a set of rules which will allow or deny the specific traffic moving through the router It is a Layer 3 security which controls the flow of traffic from one router to another. It is also called as Packet Filtering Firewall.
STANDARD ACCESS LIST
EXTENDED ACCESS LIST
The access-list number range is 1 99 Can block a Network, Host and Subnet All services are blocked. Implemented closest to the destination. Filtering is done based on only source IP address
The access-list number range is 100 199 Can block a Network, Host, Subnet and Service Selected services can be blocked. Implemented closest to the source. Checks source, destination, protocol, port no
Rules of Access List All deny statements have to be given First There should be at least one Permit statement An implicit deny blocks all traffic by default when there is no match (an invisible statement). Can have one access-list per interface per direction. (i.e.) Two access-lists per interface, one in inbound direction and one in outbound direction. Works in Sequential order Editing of access-lists is not possible (i.e) selectively adding or removing accesslist statements is not possible.
Wild Card Mask Tells the router which addressing bits must match in the address of the ACL statement. Its the inverse of the subnet mask, hence is also called as Inverse mask. A bit value of 0 indicates MUST MATCH (Check Bits) A bit value of 1 indicates IGNORE (Ignore Bits) NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 57
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Wild Card Mask for a Host will be always 0.0.0.0 A wild card mask can be calculated using the formula : Global Subnet Mask Customized Subnet Mask ------------------------------Wild Card Mask E.g. 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.240 --------------------0. 0. 0. 15

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION
Natting means "Translation of private IP address into public IP address ". In order to communicate with internet we must have public IP address. Address translation was originally developed to solve two problems: 1. to handle a shortage of IPv4 addresses 2. hide network addressing schemes. Small companies typically get their public IP addresses directly from their ISPs, which have a limited number. Large companies can sometimes get their public IP addresses from a registration authority, such as the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Common devices that can perform address translation include firewalls, routers, and servers. Typically address translation is done at the perimeter of the network by either a firewall (more commonly) or a router. There are certain addresses in each class of IP address that are reserved for Private Networks. These addresses are called private addresses. Class A 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 Class B 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 Class C 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 Inside Local Addresses An IP address assigned to a host inside a network. This address is likely to be a RFC 1918 private address Inside Global Address A legitimate IP address assigned by the NIC or service provider that represents one or more inside local IP address to the outside world. Outside Local Address - The IP address of an outside host as it known to the hosts in the inside network. Outside Global Address - The IP address assigned to a host on the outside network. The owner of the host assigns this address.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 2. Static NAT 3. PAT
Static NAT This type of NAT is designed to allow one-to-one mapping between local and global addresses. Keep in mind that the static version requires you to have one real Internet IP address for every host on your network..
Syntax: (Config)# IP nat inside source static <private IP> <public IP> Implementation : (Config) # interface s0 (Config-if)# ip nat outside (Config)# interface e0 (Config-if)# ip nat inside Dynamic NAT This version gives you the ability to map an unregistered IP address to a registered IP address from out of a pool of registered IP addresses. You dont have to statically configure your router to map an inside to an outside address as you would using static NAT, but you do have to have enough real IP addresses for everyone whos going to be sending packets to and receiving them from the Internet.
64
Syntax : (Config)# access-list < NO> permit <net.ID> <WCM> (Config)#ip nat inside pool <name> <starting Pub IP><end Pub IP> <netmask < mask> (Config)# ip nat inside source list <Aclno> pool <name> Implementation : (Config) # interface s0 (Config-if)# ip nat outside (Config)# interface e0 (Config-if)# ip nat inside
Dynamic NAT Overload This is the most popular type of NAT configuration. Understand that overloading really is a form of dynamic NAT that maps multiple unregistered IP addresses to a single registered IP addressmany-to-oneby using different ports. It is also known as Port Address Translation (PAT), and by using PAT (NAT Overload), you get to have thousands of users connect to the Internet using only one real global IP address. NAT Overload is the real reason we havent run out of valid IP address on the Internet

ADVANCE SWTCHING Spanning Tree Protocol Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) uses Spanning Tree Algorithm to avoid the Switching loops in layer-2 devices (bridges or switches). STP works when multiple switches are used with redundant links avoiding Broadcast Storms, Multiple Frame Copies & Database instability. First Developed By DEC STP is a open standard (IEEE 802.1D) STP is enabled by default on all Cisco Catalyst switches
STP Terminology BPDU All switches exchange information through what is called as Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) BPDUs contain a lot of information to help the switches determine the topology and any loops that result from that topology. BPDUs are sent every 2 sec Bridge ID Each switch has a unique identifier called a Bridge ID or Switch ID Bridge ID = Priority + MAC address of the switch NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 75
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 When a switch advertises a BPDU , they place their switch id in these BPDUs. Root Bridge The bridge with the Best (Lowest) ID. Out of all the switches in the network , one is elected as a root bridge that becomes the focal point in the network. Non-Root bridge All Switches other than the Root Bridge are Non-Root Bridges Designated port Either a port On a root bridge or a port that has been determined as having the best (lower) cost. A designated port will always in Forward Mode Root port The link directly connected to the root bridge, or the shortest path to the root bridge. Priority and Alternatives if Config occurred. Root port with the least cost (Speed) connecting to the root bridge. The bridge with the Best (Lowest) Switch ID. Lowest Physical Port Number. Only One root port will be in Bridge or switch. Non Designated port All the Port or ports which are blocked by STP to avoid switching loop. A Non Designated port Will Always in Blocked Mode.
STP port states Blocking Listening Learning Forwarding Disable 20 Sec or No Limits. 15 Sec. 15 Sec. No Limits. No Limits.
Switch - Port States Blocking: Wont forward frames; listens to BPDUs. All ports are in blocking state by default when the switch is powered up. Listening: Listens to BPDUs to make sure no loops occur on the network before passing data frames.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Learning: Learns MAC addresses and builds a filter table but does not forward frames. Forwarding: Sends and receives all data on the bridged port.

VIRTUAL LAN
A Layer 2 Security Divides a Single Broadcast domain into Multiple Broadcast domains. By default all ports of the switch are in VLAN1. This VLAN1 is known as Administrative VLAN or Management VLAN VLAN can be created from 2 1001 Can be Configured on a Manageable switch only 2 Types of VLAN Configuration Static VLAN Dynamic VLAN

By default, routers allow broadcasts only within the originating network, but switches forward broadcasts to all segments. The reason its called a flat network is because its one Broadcast domain , not because its design is physically flat. (Flat Network Structure) Network adds, moves, and changes are achieved by configuring a port into the appropriate VLAN. A group of users needing high security can be put into a VLAN so that no users outside of the VLAN can communicate with them. As a logical grouping of users by function, VLANs can be considered independent from their physical or geographic locations. VLANs can enhance network security. VLANs increase the number of broadcast domains while decreasing their size.

Dynamic VLAN Dynamic VLANs are based on the MAC address of a PC Switch automatically assigns the port to a VLAN Each port can be a member of multiple VLANs For Dynamic VLAN configuration, a software called VMPS( VLAN Membership Policy Server) is needed Types of links/ports Access links This type of link is only part of one VLAN, and its referred to as the native VLAN of the port. Any device attached to an access link is unaware of a VLAN membershipthe device just assumes its part of a broadcast domain, but it has no understanding of the physical network. Switches remove any VLAN information from the frame before its sent to an accesslink device. Trunk links Trunks can carry multiple VLANs. A trunk link is a 100- or 1000Mbps point-to-point link between two switches, between a switch and router, or between a switch and server. These carry the traffic of multiple VLANsfrom1 to 1005 at a time. Trunking allows you to make a single port part of multiple VLANs at the same time.

VLAN Identification Methods (Frame Tagging) VLAN identification is what switches use to keep track of all those frames Its how switches identify which frames belong to which VLANs, and theres more than one trunking method : Inter-Switch Link (ISL) IEEE 802.1Q
81
ISL Its a Cisco proprietary It adds 30 bytes to the header All VLAN traffic is tagged It works with Ethernet, Token ring, FDDI Frame is not modified
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 IEEE 802.1Q Created by the IEEE as a standard method or frame tagging. Open standard, we can use on different vendors switches. It works only on Ethernet Unlike ISL , 802.1q does not encapsulate the frame . It modifies the existing Ethernet frame to include the VLAN ID Only 4 Byte tag will add to original frame.
Trunking Configuration 2900 Series Switch(config)# interface <interface type> <interface no.> Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan {<vlan no.>|all} Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q/ISL
Virtual LAN Trunking Protocol VTP is a CISCO proprietary protocol used to share the VLAN configurations with multiple switches and to maintain consistency throughout that network. Information will be passed only if switches connected with FastEthernet or higher ports. VTP allows an administrator to add, delete, and rename VLANs-information that is then propagated to all other switches in the VTP domain. Note: Switches Should be configure with same Domain. Domain are not Case sensitive. VTP Modes VTP Mode are of three types : Server Mode o A Switch configured in Server mode can Add , Modify and Delete VLANs o A Default VTP mode for all switches NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 82
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Client Mode o A switch configured in Client mode cannot Add , Modify and Delete its VLAN configurations o Doesnt store its VLAN configuration information in the NVRAM. Instead , learns it from the server every time it boots up Transparent Mode o A switch configured in a Transparent Mode can Add , Modify and Delete VLAN configurations. o Changes in one transparent switch will not affect any other switch.
Benefits of VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) Consistent VLAN configuration across all switches in the network Accurate tracking and monitoring of VLANs Dynamic reporting of added VLANs to all switches in the VTP domain Plug-and-Play VLAN adding VTP Pruning Preserves bandwidth by configuring it to reduce the amount of broadcasts, multicasts, and unicast packets. VTP pruning only sends broadcasts to trunk links that truly must have the information. Enabling pruning on a VTP server, enables it for the entire domain. By default, VLANs 2 through 1005 are pruning-eligible, but VLAN 1 can never prune because its an administrative VLAN.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 ROUTER: It is an internetworking device used to connect two or more different networks It works on layer 3 i.e. network layer .It Performs Routing ROUTING:- Forwarding packets from one network to another network choosing the best path is called routing.
HUB It is generally used to connect all devices on a network so that they can communicate with each other. It always does broadcasting. SWITCH Like Hub, it is also used to connect all devices on a network so that they can communicate with each other. But first time it will do broadcast and from second time onwards it will do unicast. What is TCP/IP? TCP/IP is a standard language like English used by computers and network devices for communication TCP/IP is a universal standard and can make communication possible among all operation system

Quick Reference
Quick Notes - LAN
What is carrier sense multiple access collision detect (CSMA/CD)? CSMA/CD describes the Ethernet access method. In CSMA/CD, many stations can transmit on the same cable, and no station has priority over any other. Before a station transmits, it listens on the wire to make sure no other station is transmitting. If no other station is transmitting, the station transmits across the wire. CSMA/CD is all about devices taking turns using the wire. What are MAC addresses? For computers to identify each other on the data link layer, they need a MAC address (hardware address). All devices on a LAN must have a unique MAC address. A MAC address is a 48-bit (six octet) address burned into a network interface card. The first three octets (24 bits) of the MAC address indicate the vendor that manufactured the card. This is called the Organization Unique Identifier (OUI). The last three octets of the MAC address are the unique host address. An example of a MAC address is 00-80-C6-E7-9C-EF. What are the three types of LAN traffic? The three types of LAN traffic are: Unicasts Broadcasts Multicasts What are unicast frames? Unicast frames are the most common type of LAN traffic. A unicast frame is a frame intended for only one host. In unicast frames, the only station that processes the frame is the station that has its own MAC address in the destination portion of the packet. What are broadcast frames? Broadcast frames are frames intended for everyone. Stations view broadcast frames as public service announcements. All stations receive and process broadcast frames. In large networks, broadcasts can bring the network to a crawl, because every computer must process them. What is the destination address of broadcast frames? The destination address of broadcast frames (Layer 2 broadcast addresses) is FF-FF-FF-FFFF-FF, or all 1s in binary. What are multicast frames? Multicast frames address a group of devices that have a common interest. These frames allow the source to send only one copy of the frame on the network even though it is intended for several stations. Only stations that have a card that is configured to receive multicast frames process them. All other stations discard multicast frames.
What devices can you use to segment a LAN at Layer 1, NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 93
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Layer 2, and Layer 3? Three devices you can use to segment a LAN are: Hubs/repeaters (Layer 1) Bridges/switches (Layer 2) - physical addresses Routers (Layer 3) - logical addresses What happens when you segment the network with hubs/repeaters? Because hubs and repeaters operate at the physical layer of the OSI model, segmenting a network with these devices appears as an extension to the physical cable. Hubs and repeaters are transparent to devices. They are unintelligent devices. All devices that connect to a hub/repeater share the same bandwidth. Hubs/repeaters create a single broadcast and collision domain. What is the advantage of segmenting a network with bridges/switches? Bridges/switches operate at Layer 2 of the OSI model and filter by MAC address. Each port on a bridge/switch provides full-dedicated bandwidth and creates a single collision domain. Because bridges/switches operate at Layer 2 of the OSI model, they cannot filter broadcasts, and they create a single broadcast domain. For the CCNA test, remember that switches create more collision domains and fewer collisions. What is the difference between bridges and switches? Bridges and switches function the same way; the only difference is in how they are implemented. Bridges are implemented by software and usually have a couple of network ports. Switches are implemented in hardware by ASIC chips and have many ports. What are the advantages and disadvantages of segmenting the LAN with routers? An advantage of segmenting the LAN with routers is that each interface on a router creates a single broadcast and collision domain. Routers operate at Layer 3 of the OSI model and do not propagate broadcasts. Some disadvantages are that routers are not transparent and are implemented in software, thus introducing latency in the network.
What is the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for an Ethernet frame? 1500 bytes is the MTU for an Ethernet frame. You will notice that some publications state that the MTU for Ethernet is 1518 bytes. This is correct also. But what is the true answer? The MTU for Ethernet, including the header, source and destination address, data, and CRC is 1518 bytes. The MTU for the data portion of the frame is 1500 bytes. What three major functions do Layer 2 switches provide? The three major functions that Layer 2 switches provide are Address learning Packet forwarding/filtering Loop avoidance by spanning tree what are some advantages of switches? Some advantages of switches are as follows: They increase available network bandwidth. NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 94
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 They reduce the number of users per segment. They provide dedicated bandwidth to each segment. Transparent bridging (switching) provides five bridging functions to determine what to do when it receives a frame. What are these five processes? The five processes are: Learning Flooding Filtering Forwarding Aging In transparent bridging, what is the learning process? The first process a bridge goes through when it is powered on is the learning process. The MAC address table on the bridge contains no entries, and the bridge goes through the learning process to record all workstations on every interface. In the learning process, the bridge records the source MAC address and source port number in the MAC address table every time it sees a frame. In transparent bridging, what is the flooding process? When a bridge is first turned on, it has no MAC address in its table. When a switch receives a unicast frame, it knows the source address and port from which the unicast frame came, but no entry exists in its table for the destination address. This is called an unknown unicast frame. When a switch receives an unknown unicast frame, it sends the frame out all forwarding interfaces on the bridge except the interface that received the frame. This process is the flooding process. In transparent bridging, what is the filtering process? The filtering process occurs when the source and destination addresses reside on the same interface on the bridge. Because the bridge does not need to forward a frame in which the destination and source addresses reside on the same interface, it filters the frame and discards it. In transparent bridging, what is the forwarding process? The forwarding process occurs when a switch receives a unicast frame and has an entry of the destination address in its MAC table. The switch then forwards the frame to the interface where that destination address resides. In transparent bridging, what occurs during the aging process? Every time a bridge learns a source address, it time-stamps the entry. When the bridge sees a frame from this source, it updates the time stamp. If the bridge does not hear from the source for a specific amount of time (called the aging timer), the bridge deletes the entry from its MAC address table. This process is the aging process. What is the default aging time in transparent bridges? The default aging timer is 5 minutes.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 What is the Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP)? STP is a loop-prevention bridge-to-bridge protocol. Its main purpose is to dynamically maintain a loop-free network. It does this by sending out Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs), discovering any loops in the topology, and blocking one or more redundant links. How does STP maintain a loop-free network? STP maintains a loop-free network by Electing a root bridge Electing a root port on each nonroot bridge Electing designated ports Putting in the blocking state any port that is not a root port or designated port What two key concepts does STP calculation use to create a loop-free topology? The two key concepts that STP uses to calculate a loop-free topology are Bridge ID (BID) Path cost In spanning tree, what is a Bridge ID (BID)? A BID is an 8-byte field that is composed of the bridge's 6-byte MAC address and a 2-byte bridge priority. What is the default bridge priority in a Bridge ID for all Cisco switches? 32,768 In spanning tree, what is path cost? Path cost is a calculation to determine the link's bandwidth. It is a value assigned to each port that is based on the port's speed. What is the spanning tree path cost for each of the following? 10 Mbps 100 Mbps 1 Gbps The path costs are as follows: 10 Mbps - 100 100 Mbps - 19 1 Gbps - 4 When calculating a loop-free environment, what four-step decision sequence does spanning tree use to determine what will be the root bridge and which ports will forward or block? The four-step decision sequence that spanning tree uses to determine the root bridge and which port will forward is as follows: Step 1. The lowest root BID Step 2. The lowest path cost to the root bridge Step 3. The lowest sender BID Step 4. The lowest port ID How do bridges pass spanning tree information between NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 96
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 themselves? Bridges pass STP information using special frame called Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). How often do bridges send BPDUs out active ports? The default time that bridges send BPDUs out active ports is 2 seconds. Note: All ports on a switch listen for BPDUs in case there is a topology change. In STP, how is a root bridge elected? In STP, the bridge with the lowest BID is elected the root bridge. All ports on the root bridge are placed in the forwarding state and are called designated ports. Note: The BID is a 6-byte field that is composed of a default priority (32,768) and a MAC address. Because all Cisco switches use the default priority, the switch with the lowest MAC address is elected the root bridge. As a rule of thumb, lower will always win in spanning tree. After bridges elect the root bridge, what do they do next? After electing the root bridge, switches elect root ports. A root port is the port on nonroot bridges that is closest to the root bridge. Every nonroot bridge must select one root port. How do nonroot bridges decide which port they will elect as a root port? Nonroot bridges use root path cost to determine which port will be the root port. Root path cost is the cumulative cost of all links to the root bridge. The port with the lowest root path cost is elected the bridge's root port and is placed in the forwarding state. What is the difference between path cost and root path cost? Path cost is the value assigned to each port. It is added to BPDUs received on that port to calculate the root path cost. Root path cost is defined as the cumulative cost to the root bridge. In a BPDU, this is the value transmitted in the cost field. In a bridge, this value is calculated by adding the receiving port's path cost to the value contained in the BPDU. If a nonroot bridge has two redundant ports with the same root path cost, how does the bridge choose which port will be the root port? If a nonroot bridge has redundant ports with the same root path cost, the deciding factor is the port with the lowest port ID (port number). After the root bridge and root ports are selected, the last step in spanning tree is to elect designated ports. How do bridges elect designated ports? In spanning tree, each segment in a bridged network has one designated port. This port is a single port that both sends and receives traffic to and from that segment and the root bridge. All other ports are placed in a blocking state. This ensures that only one port on any segment can send and receive traffic to and from the root bridge, ensuring a loop-free topology. The bridge containing the designated port for a segment is called the designated bridge for that segment. Designated ports are chosen based on cumulative root path cost to the root bridge. Note: Every active port on the root bridge becomes a designated port. If a bridge is faced with a tie in electing designated ports, how does it decide which port will be the designated port? In the event of a tie, STP uses the four-step decision NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 97
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 process discussed in Question 30. It first looks for the BPDU with the lowest BID; this is always the root bridge. If the switch is not the root bridge, it moves to the next step: the BPDU with the lowest path cost to the root bridge. If both paths are equal, STP looks for the BPDU with the lowest sender BID. If these are equal, STP uses the link with the lowest port ID as the final tiebreaker. What are the four spanning tree port states? The four spanning tree port states are Blocking Listening Learning Forwarding Remember that root and designated ports forward traffic and that nondesignated ports block traffic but still listen for BPDUs. Important note: There is another port state - Disabled - (No frames forwarded, no BPDUs heard). If it shows up in the answer options - select it along with the others. What is the STP blocking state? When a switch starts, all ports are in the blocking state. This is to prevent any loops in the network. If there is a better path to the root bridge, the port remains in the blocked state. Ports in the blocked state cannot send or receive traffic, but they can receive BPDUs. What is the STP listening state? Ports transition from a blocked state to a listening state. In this state, no user data is passed. The port only listens for BPDUs. After listening for 15 seconds (if the bridge does not find a better path), the port moves to the next state, the learning state. What is the STP learning state? In the STP learning state, no user data is being passed. The port quietly builds its bridging table. The default time in the learning state is 15 seconds. What is the STP forwarding state? After the default time in the learning state is up, the port moves to the forwarding state. In the forwarding state, the port sends and receives data. What is STP forward delay? The forward delay is the time it takes for a port to move from the listening state to the learning state or from the learning state to the forwarding state. The default time is 30 seconds. What is the hello time in STP timers? The hello time is the time interval between the sending of BPDUs. The default time is 2 seconds. What is the Max Age timer? The Max Age timer is how long a bridge stores a BPDU before discarding it. The default time is 20 seconds (ten missed hello intervals).

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 What is the default time a port takes to transition from the blocking state to the forwarding state? The default time a port takes to transition from the blocking state to the forwarding state is 50 seconds: 20 seconds for Max Age, 15 seconds for listening, and 15 seconds for learning. What does STP do when it detects a topology change in the network due to a bridge or link failure? If spanning tree detects a change in the network due to a bridge or link failure, at least one bridge interface changes from the blocking state to the forwarding state, or vice versa.
Quick Notes - WAN

The three WAN connection types available are leased lines, circuit-switched, and packet-switched. Define the differences between each connection type. Leased lines are dedicated point-to-point lines that provide a single preestablished WAN communication path from the customer's network to the remote network. Leased lines are usually employed over synchronous connections. They are generally expensive and are always up. Circuit-switched connections are dedicated for only the duration of the call. The telephone system and ISDN are examples of circuit-switched networks. Packet-switched connections use virtual circuits (VCs) to provide end-to-end connectivity. Packet-switched connections are similar to leased lines, except that the line is shared by other customers. A packet knows how to reach its destination by programming of switches. Frame Relay is an example of a packet-switched connection. Define customer premises equipment (CPE), and give an example. CPE is equipment that is located on the customer's (or subscriber's) premises. It is equipment owned by the customer or equipment leased by the service provider to the customer. An example is your router. What is the demarcation point (demarc)? The demarc is the point where the CPE ends and the local loop begins. It is the last responsibility of the service provider and is usually an RJ-45 jack located close to the CPE. Think of the demarc as the boundary between the customer's wiring and the service provider's wiring. What is the local loop? The local loop is the physical cable that extends from the demarc to the central office. Describe the central office (CO). The CO is the telco switching facility that connects the customer to the provider's switching network. The CO is sometimes referred to as a point of presence. It is the point where the local loop gains access to the service provider's access lines. What is the toll network? All the telco switches, COs, and trunk lines inside the WAN provider's network are the toll network.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 What are synchronous links? Synchronous links have identical frequencies and contain individual characters encapsulated in control bits, called start/stop bits, that designate the beginning and end of each character. Synchronous links try to use the same speed as the other end of a serial link. What are asynchronous links? Asynchronous links send digital signals without timing. Asynchronous links agree on the same speed, but there is no check or adjustment of the rates if they are slightly different. Only 1 byte per transfer is sent. List some typical Layer 2 encapsulation methods for WAN links. . High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) X.25/Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB) Frame Relay Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Describe HDLC. HDLC was derived from Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC). It is the default encapsulation type on point-to-point dedicated links and circuit-switched connections between Cisco routers. It is an ISO-standard bit-oriented data-link protocol that encapsulates data on synchronous links. HDLC is a connection-oriented protocol that has very little overhead. HDLC lacks a protocol field and therefore cannot encapsulate multiple network layer protocols across the same link. Because of this, each vendor has its own method of identifying the network-layer protocol. Cisco offers a propriety version of HDLC that uses a type field that acts as a protocol field, making it possible for multiple network-layer protocols to share the same link. By default, Cisco uses HDLC as its default encapsulation method across synchronous lines (point-to-point links). If a serial line uses a different encapsulation protocol, how do you change it back to HDLC? To change a serial line back to HDLC, use the following interface command on the serial interface you want to change: Router(config-if)#encapsulation hdlc What is the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)? PPP is an industry-standard protocol that provides router-to-router or router-to-host connections over synchronous and asynchronous links. It can be used to connect to other vendors' equipment. It works with several network-layer protocols, such as IP and IPX. PPP provides authentication through PAP or CHAP. Describe X.25/LAPB. X.25/LAPB is an ITU-T standard that has a tremendous amount of overhead because of its strict timeout and windowing techniques. LAPB is the connection-oriented protocol used with X.25. It uses the ABM (Asynchronous Balance Mode) transfer mode. X.25/LAPB was used in the 1980s when WAN links were not as error-free as they are today. X.25 is a predecessor of Frame Relay.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 supports both switched and permanent virtual circuits. What is Frame Relay? An industry standard, Frame Relay is a switched data link layer protocol that uses virtual circuits to identify the traffic that belongs to certain routers. It provides dynamic bandwidth allocation and congestion control. How do you view the encapsulation type on a serial interface? To view the encapsulation type on a serial interface, use the show interface serial interface-number command: RouterB#show interface serial 0 Serial0 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is HD64570 Internet address is 192.168.1.1/24 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255 Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec) Last input 00:00:00, output 00:00:03, output hang never Last clearing of "show interface" counters never Input queue: 0/75/0 (size/max/drops); Total output drops: 0 Queueing strategy: weighted fair Output queue: 0/1000/64/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops) Conversations 0/1/256 (active/max active/max total) Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated) 5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 9 packets input, 1730 bytes, 0 no buffer Received 8 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
Quick Notes - INTERNETWORKING

What are the three layers of the Cisco Hierarchical Model? The three layers of the Cisco Hierarchical Model are:1 The access layer The distribution layer The core layer
In the Cisco Hierarchical Model, what is the function of the access layer? Sometimes referred to as the desktop layer, the access layer is the point at which users connect to the network through low-end switches. Some functions of the access layer include: Connectivity into the distribution layer Shared Bandwidth MAC Address filtering (switching) Segmentation
What is the function of the distribution layer in the Cisco Hierarchical Model? The distribution layer is also known as the workgroup layer. It is the demarcation point between the access and core layers of the network. Its NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 101
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 primary function is to provide routing, filtering, and WAN access. The distribution layer determines how packets access the core, so it is the layer at which to implement policy-based connectivity. Some functions include the following: Collection point for access layer devices Broadcast and multicast domain segmentation Security and filtering services such as firewalls and access lists Providing translation between different media types Inter-VLAN routing
What is the role of the core layer in the Cisco Hierarchical Model? The core layer is the backbone of the network. Its main function is to switch traffic as fast as possible. Therefore, it should not perform any filtering to slow down traffic. The ISO's OSI Reference Model contains seven layers. What are they? Include the layer number and name of each layer in your answer. The seven layers of the OSI model are as follows: Layer 7 - Application layer Layer 6 - Presentation layer Layer 5 - Session layer Layer 4 - Transport layer Layer 3 - Network layer Layer 2 - Data link layer Layer 1 - Physical layer
What are some reasons that the industry uses a layered model? Here are some reasons why the industry uses a layered model: It encourages industry standardization by defining what functions occur at each level. It allows vendors to modify or improve components at only one layer versus rewriting the whole protocol stack. It helps interoperability by defining standards for the operations at each level. It helps with troubleshooting.
What does the application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model do, and what are some examples of this layer? The application layer is the layer that is closest to the user. This means that this layer interacts directly with the software application. The application layer's main function is to identify and establish communication partners, determine resource availability, and synchronize communication. Some examples include the following: TCP/IP applications such as Telnet, File Transfer Protocol NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 102
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 (FTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), WWW, and HTTP. OSI applications such as Virtual Terminal Protocol, File Transfer, Access, and Management (FTAM), and Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP).
In the OSI model, what are the responsibilities of the presentation layer (Layer 6)? Give some examples of this layer. Also known as the translator, the presentation layer provides coding and conversion functions to application layer data. This guarantees that the application layer on another system can read data transferred from the application layer of a different system. Some examples of the presentation layer are: Compression, decompression, and encryption JPEG, TIFF, GIFF, PICT, QuickTime, MPEG, and ASCII
What are the functions of the session layer (Layer 5)? Give some examples. The session layer is responsible for creating, managing, and ending communication sessions between presentation layer entities. These sessions consist of service requests and responses that develop between applications located on different network devices. Some examples include SQL, RPC, NFS, X Window System, ZIP, NetBIOS names, and AppleTalk ASP.
What is the transport layer (Layer 4) responsible for? Give some examples of transport layer implementations. The transport layer segments and reassembles data from upper-layer applications into data streams. It provides reliable data transmission to upper layers. End-to-end communications, flow control, multiplexing, error detection and correction, and virtual circuit management are typical transport layer functions. Some examples include TCP, UDP*, and SPX. Note: watch out for end-to-end on communications on the exam! Transport layer.
* Error correction does not apply to UDP - connection-less - unreliable.....
What is flow control, and what are the three methods of implementing it? Flow control is the method of controlling the rate at which a computer sends data, thus preventing network congestion. The three methods of implementing flow control are Buffering Congestion avoidance Windowing Almost certain to be on the exam.
Describe the function of the network layer (Layer 3), and give some examples of network layer implementations. The network layer provides internetwork routing and logical NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 103
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 network addresses. It defines how to transport traffic between devices that are not locally attached. The network layer also supports connection-oriented and connectionless service from higher-layer protocols. Routers operate at the network layer. IP, IPX, AppleTalk, and DDP are examples of network layer implementations.
Are network layer addresses physical or logical? Network layer addresses are logical addresses specific to the network layer protocol being run on the network. Each network layer protocol has a different addressing scheme. They are usually hierarchical and define networks first and then host or devices on that network. An example of a network address is an IP address, which is a 32-bit address often expressed in decimal format. 192.168.0.1 is an example of an IP address in decimal format.
How do routers function at the network layer of the OSI model? Routers learn, record, and maintain awareness of different networks. They decide the best path to these networks and maintain this information in a routing table. The routing table includes the following: Network addresses, which are protocol-specific. If you are running more than one protocol, you have a network address for each protocol. The interface the router uses to route a packet to a different network. A metric, which is the distance to a remote network or the weight of the bandwidth, load, delay, and reliability of the path to the remote network. Routers create broadcast domains. One interface on a router creates a single broadcast domain and collision domain. However, an interface on a switch creates only a single collision domain.
In addition to learning the remote network and providing a path to the network, what other functions do routers carry out? Routers perform these tasks: Routers, by default, do not forward broadcasts or multicasts. Routers can perform bridging and routing functions. If a router has multiple paths to a destination, it can determine the best path to the destination. Routers forward traffic based on Layer 3 destination addresses. Routers can connect Virtual LANs (VLANs). Routers can provide quality of service for specified types of network traffic.
What is the responsibility of the data link layer (Layer 2)? The data link layer provides functional and procedural means for connectionless mode among network entities, and for connection mode entities it provides the establishment, maintenance, and release of data link connections among network entities and for the transfer of data link service data units. The data link layer translates messages from the network layer into bits for the physical layer, and it enables the network layer to control the interconnection of data circuits within the physical layer. Its specifications define different network and protocol characteristics, including physical addressing, error NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 104
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 notification, network topology, and sequencing of frames. Data link protocols provide the delivery across individual links and are concerned with the different media types, such as 802.2 and 802.3. The data link layer is responsible for putting 1s and 0s into a logical group. These 1s and 0s are then put on the physical wire. Some examples of data link layer implementations are IEEE 802.2/802.3, IEEE 802.5/802.2, packet trailer (for Ethernet, the FCS or CRC), FFDI, HDLC, and Frame Relay.
The IEEE defines what two sublayers of the data link layer? The two sublayers of the data link layer are The Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer The Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer These two sublayers provide physical media independence.
For what is the LLC sublayer responsible? The Logical Link Control (802.2) sublayer is responsible for identifying different network layer protocols and then encapsulating them to be transferred across the network. An LLC header tells the data link layer what to do with a packet after it is received.
What functions does the Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer provide? The MAC sublayer specifies how data is placed and transported over the physical wire. The LLC layer communicates with the network layer, but the MAC layer communicates downward directly to the physical layer. Physical addressing (MAC addresses), network topologies, error notification, and delivery of frames are defined at this sublayer.
What are some network devices that operate at the data link layer? Bridges and switches are network devices that operate at the data link layer. Both devices filter traffic by MAC addresses.
What is the function of the OSI model's physical layer (Layer 1)? Give some examples of physical layer implementations. The physical layer defines the physical medium. It defines the media type, the connector type, and the signaling type (baseband versus broadband). This includes voltage levels, physical data rates, and maximum cable lengths. The physical layer is responsible for converting frames into electronic bits of data, which are then sent or received across the physical medium. Twisted pair, coaxial cable, and fiber-optic cable operate at this level. Other implementations at this layer are repeaters/hubs, RJ-45.

What are collision domains? In Ethernet segments, devices connect to the same physical medium. Because of this, all devices receive all signals sent across the wire. If two devices send a packet at the same time, a collision occurs. In the event of a collision, the two devices run a backoff algorithm and resend the packet. The devices retransmit up to 15 times. The first station to detect a collision issues a jam signal. When a jam signal is sent from a workstation, it affects all of the machines on the segment, not just the two that collided; when the jam signal is on the wire, no workstations can transmit data. The more collisions that occur in a network, the slower it will be, because the devices will have to resend the packet. A collision domain defines a group of devices connected to the same physical medium.
What are broadcast domains? A broadcast domain defines a group of devices that receive each others' broadcast messages. As with collisions, the more broadcasts that occur on the network, the slower your network will be. This is because every device that receives a broadcast must process it to see if the broadcast is intended for it.
What devices are used to break up collision and broadcast domains? Switches and bridges are used to break up collision domains. They create more collision domains and fewer collisions. Routers are used to break up broadcast domains. They create more broadcast domains and smaller broadcast areas.
How do the different layers of the OSI model communicate with each other? Each layer of the OSI model can communicate only with the layer above it, below it, and parallel to it (a peer layer). For example, the presentation layer can communicate with only the application layer, session layer, and presentation layer on the machine it is communicating with. These layers communicate with each other using protocol data units (PDUs). These PDUs control information that is added to the user data at each layer of the model. This information resides in fields called headers (the front of the data field) and trailers (the end of the data field). What is data encapsulation? A PDU can include different information as it goes up or down the OSI model. It is given a different name according to the information it is carrying (the layer it is at). When the transport layer receives upper layer data, it adds a TCP header to the data; this is called a segment. The segment is then passed to the network layer, and an IP header is added; thus, the data becomes a packet. The packet is passed to the data link layer, thus becoming a frame. This frame is then converted into bits and is passed across the network medium. This is data encapsulation.

Quick Notes - CABLING TECHNOLOGY

What is a straight-through cable, and when would you use it? A straight-through cable is the same at both ends. A straight-through cable uses pins 1, 2, 3, and 6. The send and receive wires are not crossed. You should use a straight-through cable when connecting dissimilar devices. Examples include connecting PCs to switches or hubs or a router to a switch or a hub. What is a crossover cable, and when would you use it? A crossover cable is a cable that has the send and receive wires crossed at one of the ends. On a Category 5 cable, the 1 and 3 wires and the 2 and 6 wires are switched on one of the cable's ends. You should use a crossover cable when connecting similar devices, such as connecting a router to a router, a switch to a switch or hub, a hub to a hub, or a PC to a PC. Important tip -- Router (think of it as a PC) to PC via 10BaseT (NIC) uses a "crossover cable". (contradicts the rule) How do you set up a console session to a Cisco device? To set up a console session to a Cisco device, you connect a rollover cable to the console port on the Cisco device. You then connect the other end to your PC and configure a terminal emulation application to the following com settings: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. What is the maximum cable length for each of the following? 10Base2 10Base510 BaseT 10BaseFL 100BaseT The maximum cable lengths are as follows: 10Base2 (thinnet) 185 meters 10Base5 (thicknet) 500 meters 10BaseT 100 meters NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 107

Base in 10BaseT and 100BaseT stands for baseband. Baseband is a network technology in which only one carrier frequency (signal) is used. What is the difference between baseband and broadband? Baseband is a network technology in which only one carrier frequency is used (such as Ethernet). Broadband is a network technology in which several independent channels are multiplexed into one cable (for example, a T1 line).
Quick Notes - ACCESS LISTS

Besides named access lists, what are the two types of IP access lists? The two types of IP access lists are standard and extended. What criteria do standard IP access lists use to filter packets? Standard IP access lists filter packets by the source address. This results in the packet's being permitted or denied for the entire protocol suite based on the source network IP address. What criteria do extended IP access lists use to filter packets? Extended IP access lists filter packets by source address, destination address, protocols, and port numbers. In what two ways can IP access lists be applied to an interface? Access lists can be applied as inbound or outbound access lists. Inbound access lists process packets as they enter a router's interface and before they are routed. Outbound access lists process packets as they exit a router's interface and after they are routed. How many access lists can be applied to an interface on a Cisco router? Only one access list per protocol, per direction, per interface can be applied on a Cisco router. Multiple access lists are permitted per interface, but they must be for a different protocol. How are access lists processed? Access lists are processed in sequential, logical order, evaluating packets from the top down, one statement at a time. As soon as a match is made, the permit or deny option is applied, and the packet is not applied to any more access list statements. Because of this, the order of the statements within any access list is significant. What is at the end of each access list? At the end of each access list, an implicit deny statement denies any packet not filtered in the access list. What are the number ranges used to define standard and extended IP access lists? The number ranges used to define standard and extended NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 access lists are as follows: Standard IP access lists 1 to 99 and 1300 to 1999 Extended IP access lists 100 to 199 and 2000 to 2699 When implementing access lists, what are wildcard masks? Wildcard masks define the subset of the 32 bits in the IP address that must be matched. Wildcards are used with access lists to specify a host, network, or part of a network. Wildcard masks work exactly the opposite of subnet masks. In subnet masks, 1 bits are matched to the network portion of the address, and 0s are wildcards that specify the host range. In wildcard masks, when 0s are present, the octet address must match. Mask bits with a binary value of 1 are wildcards. For example, if you have an IP address 172.16.0.0 with a wildcard mask of 0.0.255.255, the first two portions of the IP address must match 172.16, but the last two octets can be in the range 1 to 255. What is the IOS command syntax used to create a standard IP access list? Here is the command syntax to create a standard IP access list: access-list access-list-number {permit deny} source-address [wildcard mask]access-listnumber is a number from 1 to 99. For example: RouterA(config)#access-list 10 deny 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 After you create a standard or extended IP access list, how do you apply it to an interface on a Cisco router? To apply an access list to an interface on a Cisco router, use the ip access-group interface command: ip access-group access-list-number {in out}For example:RouterA(config)#int s0RouterA(config-if)#ip access-group 10 in Create a standard access list that permits the following networks: 192.168.200.0192.168.216.0192.168.232.0192.168.248.0 There are two ways to do this. First, you can create one access list that contains an entry for each network: access-list 10 permit 192.168.200.0 0.0.0.255access-list 10 permit 192.168.216.0 0.0.0.255access-list 10 permit 192.168.232.0 0.0.0.255access-list 10 permit 192.168.248.0 0.0.0.255 A second way to do this is to create a single entry with wildcard masks: access-list 10 permit 192.168.200.0 0.0.48.255 To see how this one statement denies all the networks, you must look at it in binary: .200= 11001000.216= 11011000.232= 11101000.248= 11111000 All the bits match except the third and fourth bits. With wildcard masks, these are the bits you want to match. Therefore, your wildcard mask would be 00110000 in binary, which is 48. What is the Cisco IOS command syntax used to create an extended access list? Here is the Cisco IOS command syntax to create an extended access list: access-list accesslist-number {permit deny} protocol source-address source-wildcard [operator port] destinationaddress destination-wildcard [operator port] protocol examples include IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, GRE, and IGRP. operator port can be lt (less than), gt (greater than), eq (equal to), or neg (not equal to) and a protocol port number.

Quick Notes - FRAME RELAY

What protocol does Frame Relay rely on for error checking? Frame Relay does not rely on any certain protocol for error checking. Instead, it relies on upper-layer protocols to provide error checking. For example, Frame Relay relies on TCP to provide error checking in an IP network. NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 110
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 At what layers of the OSI model does Frame Relay operate? Frame Relay operates at the two lower layers of the OSI model (data link and physical).
What is the difference between switched virtual circuits (SVCs) and permanent virtual circuits (PVCs)? SVCs are virtual circuits that are dynamically established when data needs to be transferred and that are terminated when data transmission is complete. SVCs consist of four states: call setup, data transfer, idle, and call termination. PVCs are permanently established virtual circuits that operate in one of two states: idle or data transfer. When the PVC is idle, the connection between the DTE devices is still active.
What is a Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI)? A DLCI is a number that identifies the logical circuit between the router and the Frame Relay switch. It is the Frame Relay Layer 2 address. The Frame Relay switch maps DLCIs between each pair of routers to create a PVC. For IP devices at the end of each virtual circuit to communicate, their IP addresses need to be mapped to DLCIs. If you are running Cisco IOS 11.2 or later, mapping is done automatically using Inverse ARP. DLCIs have local significance. Think of DLCIs as the MAC address of the Frame Relay network.
What is the committed information rate (CIR)? The CIR is the committed information rate, by the service provider, in bits per second, at which data will be transferred. The service provider sends any data in excess of this rate if its network has capacity at that time.
How does Frame Relay use Inverse ARP? Frame Relay uses Inverse ARP as a way to dynamically map a network layer address to a DLCI. With Inverse ARP, the router can discover the network address of a device associated with a VC.
What is the Local Management Interface (LMI)? The LMI is a signaling standard between a CPE device (a router) and the Frame Relay switch that is responsible for managing and maintaining status between the devices. It is autosensed with Cisco IOS Release 11.2 and later.
In Frame Relay, what is Forward Explicit Congestion Notification (FECN)? The FECN is the bit in the Frame Relay header that signals to anyone receiving the frame (switches and DTEs) that congestion is occurring in the same direction as the frame. Switches and DTEs can react by slowing the rate at which data is sent in that direction.
What is Backward Explicit Congestion Notification (BECN)? NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 111
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 The BECN is the bit in the Frame Relay header that signals to switches and DTEs receiving the frame that congestion is occurring in the direction opposite (backward) that of the frame. If switches and DTE devices detect that the BECN bit in the Frame Relay header is set to 1, they slow the rate at which data is sent in that direction.
In the Frame Relay header, what is the discard eligibility (DE) bit? If congestion is detected on the Frame Relay network, the DE bit is turned on in the Frame Relay header. The DE bit is turned on for frames that are in excess of the CIR. The DE bit tells a switch which frames to discard if they must be discarded. What is the default LMI type for Cisco routers that are configured for Frame Relay? The default LMI for Cisco routers configured for Frame Relay is Cisco. If you are running Cisco IOS Release 11.2 or later, the Cisco router tries to autosense which LMI type the Frame Relay switch is using. If it cannot autosense the LMI type, the router uses Cisco as its LMI type. The three types of LMIs supported by Cisco routers are: Cisco ANSI Q933a When a router receives LMI information, it updates its VC status to one of three states. What are these three states? The three states that a VC uses to update its status are as follows: Active state The connection is active, and routers can exchange data. Inactive state The local connection to the Frame Relay switch is working, but the remote router's connection to the Frame Relay switch is not working. Deleted state Indicates that no LMIs are being received from the Frame Relay switch or that there is no service between the router and the Frame Relay switch.
How do you enable Frame Relay on a Cisco router? To enable Frame Relay on a Cisco router, you must first enable the serial interface for Frame Relay encapsulation with the encapsulation frame-relay interface command: RouterB(config)#int s 0 RouterB(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 RouterB(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
The default encapsulation for a serial interface configured for Frame Relay is cisco. If you are connecting to a non-Cisco router, how do you change the encapsulation type? If you are connecting to a non-Cisco router in a Frame Relay network, you need to specify ietf as the encapsulation type: RouterB(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 112
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 RouterB(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay ietf
If you are using Cisco IOS Release 11.1 or earlier, or if you do not want to autosense the LMI type, how do you define the LMI type on a Cisco router? To define the LMI type on a Cisco router, use the frame-relay lmi-type {ansi cisco q933a} interface command: RouterB(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 RouterB(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay RouterB(config-if)#frame-relay lmi-type ansi
If Inverse ARP is disabled on your router, how do you reenable it? Inverse ARP is enabled by default on a Cisco router. If it is disabled, reenable it by using the following command: RouterB(config-if)#frame-relay inverse-arp [protocol] [dlci] Supported protocols indicated by the protocol option include ip, ipx, decnet, appletalk, vines, and xns.
If a remote router does not support Inverse ARP, you must define the address-to-DLCI table statically. How do you create these static maps? To define static maps on a Cisco router, use the following command: RouterA(config-if)#frame-relay map protocol protocol-address dlci [broadcast] [ietf cisco] [payload-compress packet-by-packet] where: protocol defines the supported protocol bridging or LLC. protocol-address is the remote router's network layer address. dlci defines the remote router's local DLCI. broadcast specifies whether you want to forward broadcasts over the VC, permitting dynamic routing protocols over the VC. ietf cisco is the encapsulation type.
How do you display the encapsulation type, DLCI, LMI type, and whether the device is a DTE or DCE on a serial interface? To display the interface's encapsulation type, DLCI number, LMI type, and whether the device is a DTE or DCE, use the show interface interface-type interface-number command: RouterA#show int s0 NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 113

Quick Notes - ROUTING

How do OSPF-enabled routers build adjacencies and exchange their routing tables? OSPF-enabled routers build adjacencies by sending Hello packets out through all OSPFenabled interfaces.
If these routers share a command link and agree on parameters set within their Hello packets then they become neighbors. If these parameters differ then the routers do not become neighbors and communication stops.
OSPF routers form adjacencies with certain routers. These routers are determined by the layer 2 (data link) media type and as soon as the adjacencies are formed each router sends LSAs (Link State Advertisements) to all adjacent routers. The LSAs describe the state of each router's links. There are multiple LSA types and a route that receives an LSA from a neighbor records the LSA in a link-state database and floods a copy of the LSA to all its other neighbors.
When all databases are complete - then each router uses the SPF (Shortest-Path First) algorithm to calculate a loop-free topology and builds its routing table based on this topology. It is important to note that the Hello protocol is bidrectional and is the means by which neighbors are discovered and acts as keepalives between neighboring routers. It also establishes and maintain neighbor relationships and elects the DR (Designated Router) and BDR (Backup Designated Router) to represent the segment on Broadcast and NBMA (nobroadcast multiaccess) networks.
Note: Hello protocols are sent periodically sent out each OSPF-enabled interface using IP multicast address 224.0.0.5. The default interval on NBMA (nonbroadcast multiaccess) networks is 30 seconds. The default interval on Broadcast, Point-to-point, and point-tomultipoint networks is 10 seconds.
What are LSAs (link-state advertisements)? LSAs are sent out all OSPF-enabled router interfaces describing the state of the router's links. They are also packets that OSPF uses to advertise changes in the condition of a link or other OSPF routers.
Name two LSA (link-state advertisement) types? Type 1 LSAs are router LSAs and are generated by each router for the area to which the router belongs. These LSAs describe the states of the NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 115
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 router'links to the area (area 0 for example) and are flooded within a single area (area 0 for example).
Type 2 LSAs are network LSAs and are generated by the DR (Designated Router) and the BDR (Backup Designated Router). They describe the routers attached to a particular network and are flooded within a single area (area 0 for example).
What is the routing metric OSPF is based on? Bandwith. Formula: Cost = 100,000,000 / bandwidth in bits per seconds The cost of a 100 MBbps connection would be: 1000,000,000 / 100,000,000 =1
Based on the schema above -- if adjacencies are established with only with the DR (Designated Router) and BDR (Backup Designated Router)- what is the circuit count? Formula: 2(n - 1) where n is the number of routers in the network. 2(5 - 1) = 8 circuits. A circuit can also be thought of as an adjacency or connection. Count four going into the DR and 4 going into the BDR for a total of 8.
Note: OSPF avoids synchronizing between every pair of routers in the network by using a DR and BDR. This way adjacencies are formed only to the DR and BDR, and the number of LSAs sent over the network is reduced. Now only the DR and BDR have four adjacencies, and all the other routers have two.
On an OSPF-enabled router -- what is the router ID and where does an OSPF-enabled router receive its router ID? To initialize - OSPF must be able to define a router ID. The most common and stable source for a router ID is the IP address set on the logical loopback interface that is always available. If no logical interface is defined -- then the router receives its ID from the highest IP address on the physical interfaces.
Note: If two loopback addresses are defined -- it will use the highest loopback address. Think highest logical or highest physical interface address.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 routers on broadcast networks elect a DR (Designated Router) and BDR (Backup Designated Router). All the routers in the network form adjacencies with the DR and BDR. Note: OSPF packets are multicast to the DR and BDR. NBMA (nonbroadcast multiaccess) networks: Frame Relay/X.25/ATM. NBMA networks can connect more than two routers but have no broadcast functionality. These networks elect an DR and BDR. Note: OSPF packets are unicast. Point-to-point networks: A physical DS1 (T1) for example. Point-to-point networks connect a pair of routers and always becomes adjacent. Point-to-multipoint networks: Point-to-multipoint networks are a special configuration of NBMA networks in which networks are treated as a collection of point-to-point links. Point-tomultipoint networks do not elect a DR or BDR. Note: OSPF packets are multicast. Virtual links: Virtual links area special configuration that the router interprets as unnumbered point-to-point networks. The network administrator creates/defines virtual links.
What is routing? Routing is the process in which items are forwarded from one location to another. Routing is a hop-by-hop paradigm. A Cisco router performs routing and switching functions. Describe what each function does. Routing is a way to learn and maintain awareness of the network topology. Each router maintains a routing table in which it looks up the destination Layer 3 address to get the packet one step closer to its destination.The switching function is the actual movement of temporary traffic through the router, from an inbound interface to an outbound interface.
What are the three types of routes you can use in a Cisco router? The three types of routes are static routes, dynamic routes, and default routes.
What is the difference between static and dynamic routes? Static routes are routes that an administrator manually enters into a router. Dynamic routes are routes that a router learns automatically through a routing protocol.
How do you configure a static route on a Cisco router? To configure a static route on a Cisco router, enter the ip route destination-network [mask] {next-hop-address outbound-interface} [distance] [permanent] global command. Here's an example: RouterB(config)#ip route 172.17.0.0 255.255.0.0 172.16.0.1 This example instructs the router to route to 172.16.0.1 any packets that have a destination of 172.17.0.0 to 172.17.255.255 NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 117
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 What is a default route? Also known as the gateway of last resort, a default route is a special type of static route with an all-zeros network and network mask. The default route is used to route any packets to a network that a router does not directly know about to a next-hop router. By default, if a router receives a packet to a destination network that is not in its routing table, it drops the packet. When a default route is specified, the router does not drop the packet. Instead, it forwards the packet to the IP address specified in the default route.
How do you configure the default route on a Cisco router? To configure a default route on a Cisco router, enter the following global configuration command: ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [ip-address of the next-hop router outbound-interface] For example: RouterB(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.0.2
What is a routing protocol? A routing protocol defines the set of rules used by a router when it communicates with neighboring routers. Routing protocols listens for packets from other participants in order to learn and maintain a routing table.
What are the two major types of routing protocols? The two major types of routing protocols are Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)
IGP is used to exchange routing information among routers in the same autonomous system (AS). EGP is used to communicate between ASs.
Note: For more information about autonomous systems, see Interconnecting Cisco Network Device (Cisco Press).
What is administrative distance? Administrative distance (AD) is an integer from 0 to 255 that rates the trustworthiness of routing information received on a router from a neighboring router. The AD is used as the tiebreaker when a router has multiple paths from different routing protocols to the same destination. The path with the lower AD is the one given priority.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 The three classes of routing protocols are Distance vector Link-state Balanced hybrid
What is the AD for each of the following? Directly connected interface Static route EIGRP IGRP OSPF RIP External EIGRP Unknown
The ADs are as follows: Directly connected interface 0 Static route 1 EIGRP 90 IGRP 100 OSPF 110 RIP 120 External EIGRP 170 Unknown 255
How do distance vector routing protocols function? Also known as Bellman-Ford-Fulkerson algorithms, distance vector routing protocols pass complete routing tables to neighboring routers. Neighboring routers then combine the received routing table with their own routing table. Each router receives a routing table from its directly connected neighbor. Distance vector routing tables include information about the total cost and the logical address of the first router on the path to each network they know about.
How do distance vector routing protocols keep track of any changes to the internetwork? Distance vector routing protocols keep track of an internetwork by periodically broadcasting updates out all active interfaces. This broadcast contains the entire routing table. This method is often called routing by rumor. Slow convergence of distance vector routing protocols can NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 119
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 cause inconsistent routing tables and routing loops.
What are some mechanisms that distance vector protocols implement to prevent routing loops and inconsistent routing tables? Here are some of the ways distance vector routing protocols prevent routing loops and inconsistent routing tables: Maximum hop count Split horizon Route poisoning Holddowns
What is maximum hop count? If a loop is in an internetwork, a packet loops around the internetwork forever. Maximum hop counts prevent routing loops by defining the maximum number of times a packet will loop around the internetwork. RIP uses a hop count of up to 15, so anything that requires 16 hops is unreachable. Anytime a packet passes through a router, it is considered one hop. What is split horizon? The rule of split horizon is that it is never useful to send information about a route back in the direction from which the original update came.
What is convergence? Convergence is when all routers have consistent knowledge and correct routing tables.
What is route poisoning? With route poisoning, when a distance vector routing protocol notices that a route is no longer valid, the route is advertised with an infinite metric, signifying that the route is bad. In RIP, a metric of 16 is used to signify infinity. Route poisoning is used with holddowns.
What are hold-down timers? Hold-down timers prevent regular update messages from reinstating a route that might have gone bad. Hold-down timers also tell routers to hold for a period of time any changes that might affect routes.
What are triggered updates? When a router notices that a directly connected subnet has changed state, it immediately sends another routing update out its other interfaces rather than waiting for the routing update timer to expire. Triggered updates are also known as Flash updates.
What is IP RIP? NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved.
IP 120
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 RIP is a true distance vector routing protocol that sends its complete routing table out all active interfaces every 30 seconds. IP RIP uses a hop count as its metric to determine the best path to a remote network. The maximum allowable hop count is 15, meaning that 16 is unreachable. There are two versions of RIP. Version 1 is classful, and version 2 is classless. IP RIP can load-balance over as many as six equal-cost paths.
What four timers does IP RIP use to regulate its performance? Here are the four timers that IP RIP uses to regulate its performance: Route update timer Time between router updates. The default is 30 seconds. Route invalid timer Time that must expire before a route becomes invalid. The default is 180 seconds. Route hold-down timer If IP RIP receives an update with a hop count higher than the metric recorded in the routing table, the router goes into holddown for 180 seconds. Route flush timer Time from when a route becomes invalid to when it is removed from the routing table. The default is 240 seconds.
How do you enable RIP on a Cisco router? To enable RIP on a Cisco router, start by using the router global configuration command, followed by the rip protocol. This selects RIP as the routing protocol. Then you assign the network command, followed by the directly connected network number(s) you want to activate RIP on. Here's an example: RouterB(config)#router rip RouterB(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0 RouterB(config-router)#network 192.168.2.0
How do you stop RIP updates from propagating out an interface on a router? Sometimes you do not want RIP updates to propagate across the WAN, wasting valuable bandwidth or giving out valuable information about your internetwork. The easiest way to stop RIP updates from propagating out an interface is to use the passive-interface global configuration command.
How do you display the contents of a Cisco IP routing table? The show ip route command displays the Cisco routing table's contents.
What is Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP)? IGRP is a Cisco proprietary distance vector routing protocol. IGRP has a default hop count of 100 hops, with a maximum hop count of 255. IGRP uses bandwidth and line delay as its default metric, but it can also use reliability, load, and MTU.
How do you enable IGRP on a Cisco router? The way you enable IGRP on a Cisco router is similar to the NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 121
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 way you enable RIP, except you specify IGRP as the protocol and add an autonomous system number. For example: RouterA(config)#router igrp 10 (10 is the AS number) RouterA(config-router)#network 192.168.0.0 RouterA(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0 RouterA(config-router)#network 192.168.2.0
What four timers does IGRP use to regulate its performance? The four timers IGRP uses to regulate its performance are as follows: Route update timer Time between router updates The default is 90 seconds. Route invalid timer Time that must expire before a route becomes invalid . The default is 270 seconds. Route hold-down timer If a destination becomes unreachable, or if the next-hop router increases the metric recording in the routing table, the router goes into holddown for 280 seconds. Route flush timer[md]Time from when a route becomes invalid to when it is removed from the routing table. The default is 630 seconds.
Quick Notes - SWITCHING

What are three types of LAN traffic? Unicasts - intended for one host. Broadcasts - intended for everyone. Multicasts - intended for a only a subset or group within an entire network.
What are unicast frames? Unicast frames are the most common type of network traffic. A unicast frame is a frame intended for only one host. The only station that processes this frame is one station that has its own MAC address in the destination portion of packet.
What are broadcast frames? Broadcast frames are frames intended for everyone. Stations view broadcast frames as public service announcements. All stations receive and process broadcast frames. In large networks, broadcasts can cause serious performance degradation in network hosts - (broadcast storm). The destination address of broadcast frames (Data Link / Layer 2 broadcast addresses is FF-FF-FF-FFFF-FF or alternatively all 1s in binary (11111111).
122
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 What are multicast frames? Multicast frames address a group of devices that have a common interest. These frames allow the source to send only one copy of the frame on the network even though it is intended for several stations. Only stations that have a card that is configured by software to receive multicast frames for a particular multicast group can process a frame to that multicast address - all other stations discard multicast frames. An example of a multicast frame is: 01:00:5E:01:01:01/ The "01" at the beginning of the address signifies that it is an Ethernet multicast frame.
What three major functions do Data Link Layer / Layer 2 Switches perform? Address learning Packet forwarding/filtering Loop avoidance by spanning tree
What will occur when you attempt to segment a network with hubs and repeaters? Basically, hubs and repeaters become extensions of the physical cable plant. All devices that connect to either a hub or a repeater share the same bandwidth and by definition hubs and repeaters create a single broadcast and collision domain. Think of both devices are pass-through devices much like a electrical power-strip. Hubs and repeaters reside on the Physical Layer / Layer 1 of the OSI model where they pass 0s and 1s along the wire or up to the Data Link Layer. CSUs / Channel Service Units fall into the same category. All are regarded as unintelligent devices. No addressing takes place on the Physical layer.
What is the advantage of segmenting a network with bridges or switches? Bridges and switches function on the Data Link Layer / Layer 2 of the OSI model and filter by MAC address. Each port on either device provides full, dedicated bandwidth and creates a single collision domain. Very important: Because bridges and switches operate a Layer 2 -- they cannot filter broadcasts, and they create a single broadcast domain. (Note: each nailed-up port on a switch is a single Collision Domain - there will be a schematic on the exam to test your knowledge on broadcast and collision domains.) Also, bridges are implemented by software and normally have a couple of network ports; whereas switches are implemented in hardware by ASIC chips and have many ports. Think Data Link Layer / Layer 2 of the OSI model - physical addresses / MAC addresses List some advantages Layer 2 switches have over bridges: High-speed backplane - multiple simultaneous conversations. Data-buffering capabilities are used to store-and-forward packets to the correct port(s). Lower latency than bridges. Remember that switches are implemented in hardware not software. Much faster. Higher port count or density.
What are the pros can cons of segmenting a LAN with routers?
123
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Pros: Each interface on a router creates a single broadcast and collision domain. Routers function or operate on the Network Layer / Layer 3 of the OSI model and do not propagate broadcasts*. (* very important concept)
Cons: Routers are not transparent and are implemented in software thereby introducing latency in the network.
Remember: Routers = Network Layer / Layer 3 on the OSI model - Logical addressing (IP address).
Functions: Two key functions: routing and switching. The routing component is responsibile for learning and maintaining awareness of the network topology. The switching function is the process of moving packets from an inbound interface (Ethernet 0 for example) to an outbound interface (Serial 0 for example). Path selection is a key term.
What three devices are used to segment a LAN? Router - logical addressing - IP address Switch - physical addressing - MAC address Bridge - physical addressing - MAC addres
What is microsegmentation? Each workstation or network device on the network has its own dedicated segment - also known as a Collision Domain - to a switch. Each device gets the segments full bandwidth and does not have to share the dedicated segment with other devices. Collisions are reduced because each segment is its own Collision Domain.
Important: Full-duplex transmission is achieved by microsegmentation. Each device can send and receive at the same time which doubles the amount of bandwidth between nodes.
What are the three switching methods in Cisco Catalyst switches? The three frame operating modes to handle frame switching are Store-and-forward Cut-through Fragment-free
What is the Cisco Catalyst store-and-forward switching method? In the store-and-forward switching method, the switch receives the entire frame before it forwards it. The switch reads the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to make sure the frame is not bad. If the frame is good, the switch forwards it. Because the switch stores the frame before forwarding it, latency is introduced in the switch. Latency through the switch varies with the NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 124
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 size of the frame.
What is the Cisco Catalyst cut-through switching method? In cut-through switching mode, the switch only checks the frame's destination address and immediately begins forwarding the frame out the appropriate port. Because the switch checks the destination address in only the header and not the entire frame, the switch forwards a collision frame or a frame that has a bad CRC.
What is the Cisco Catalyst fragment-free switching method? Also known as modified cut-through, fragment-free switching checks the first 64 bytes before forwarding the frame. Ethernet specifications state that collisions should be detected during the first 64 bytes of the frame. By reading the first 64 bytes of the frame, the switch can filter most collisions, although late collisions are still possible.
What is the default switching mode in Cisco Catalyst 1900 switches? The default switching mode for the Catalyst 1900 is fragment-free.
What is half-duplex transmission mode? Half-duplex transmission is the default mode that Ethernet functions in. In half-duplex transmission, a device can only send or receive--not do both at once. In half-duplex mode, stations are susceptible to collisions, and efficiency is rated at 50 to 60 percent.
What is full-duplex transmission mode? In full-duplex mode, a station can send and receive at the same time. In full-duplex mode, collision detection is disabled. This mode offers 100 percent efficiency in both directions. On a Cisco Catalyst 1900 switch, what are the default duplex settings for 10BaseT/100BaseT ports, default switching mode, and default protocols? The factory default settings for a Catalyst 1900 switch are as follows: IP address: 0.0.0.0 CDP enabled Switching mode: fragment-free 10BaseT ports: half-duplex 100BaseT ports: autonegotiate Spanning tree enabled No console password
What are the two configuration modes in a Catalyst 1900 switch? Configuring a Catalyst 1900 switch is similar to configuring a router. The two configuration modes available are global configuration mode and interface configuration mode.
How do you configure an IP address and subnet mask on a Catalyst 1900 switch? To configure an IP address and subnet mask on a Catalyst 1900 switch, use the ip address address mask global configuration command: Cat1900(config)#ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 125
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Why would you want to assign an IP address to a Layer 2 device, such as a switch? You would assign an IP address to a Layer 2 device for management and configuration. With an IP address enabled on a Cisco switch, you can Telnet into it and change the configuration. You can also enable SNMP on the device and remotely monitor the switch.
How do you configure a default gateway on a Cisco Catalyst 1900 switch? To configure a default gateway on a Catalyst 1900 switch, use the ip default-gateway ip address global configuration command. The following example configures the switch to use IP address 192.168.0.1 as its default gateway: Cat1900(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.0.1 To remove the default gateway, use the no ip default-gateway command.
On a Catalyst 1900 switch, what command can you use to view the switch's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway? The show ip command displays the switch's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Here's an example: Cat1900#show ipIP Address: 192.168.0.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 Management VLAN: 1 Domain name: Name server 1: 0.0.0.0 Name server 2: 0.0.0.0 HTTP server : Enabled HTTP port : 80 RIP : Enabled Cat1900#

What are dynamic addresses on a Catalyst switch? Dynamic addresses are addresses that the switch learns about dynamically through the learning process. If the switch does not see a MAC address for a certain amount of time, it drops the MAC address.
What are permanent MAC addresses on a Catalyst switch? Permanent MAC addresses are entered manually by the administrator and are not aged out.
On a Catalyst 1900 switch, how do you make a MAC address permanent? To make a MAC address permanent, use the mac-address-table permanent mac-address type module/port global command. The following example makes MAC address 0080.C6E7.9CEF permanent in the CAM table for port 0/21: Cat1900(config)#mac-address-table permanent 0080.C6E7.9CEF Ethernet 0/21
What is the maximum number of MAC addresses a Catalyst 1900 can store in its MAC address table? The maximum number of MAC addresses a Catalyst 1900 can store in its MAC address table is 1024.

Quick Notes - Network Management

What is the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)? CDP is a Cisco proprietary protocol that runs on all Cisco IOS-enabled devices. It is used to gather information about directly connected neighboring devices. CDP operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model and is media-independent. With CDP, you can tell the hardware type, device identifier, address list, software version, and active interfaces on neighboring Cisco devices. CDP is enabled by default on all Cisco equipment. It uses a nonroutable SNAP frame to communicate between devices.
Note: Because CDP is media-independent it can operate over most media types. The only media types CDP cannot operate over are X.25, because it doesn't support SNAP encapsulation, and Frame Relay point-to-multipoint interfaces.
What are three reasons to disable CDP? Three reasons to disable CDP are as follows: . To save network bandwidth by not exchanging CDP frames. . If you are connecting to non-Cisco devices. . Security. CDP broadcasts information about the device every 60 seconds. Sniffers and other devices can view these broadcasts to discover information about your network.
How do you disable CDP on Cisco routers? Two commands disable CDP on a Cisco router.

Quick Notes - IOS COMMANDS

What two EXEC modes are supported in the Cisco IOS? The two EXEC modes are: User EXEC mode (user mode) Privileged EXEC mode (enable or privileged mode) In the IOS, what is User EXEC mode? User EXEC mode is the first mode you enter when you log into the IOS. This mode is limited and is mostly used to view statistics. You cannot change a router's configuration in this mode. By default, the greater-than sign (>) indicates that you are in user mode. This is how the router prompt looks in user mode: Router>
In the IOS, what is privileged EXEC mode? In privileged EXEC mode, you can view and change the configuration in a router. To enter privileged mode, enter the enable command while in user mode. The pound symbol (#) indicates that you are in privileged mode. This mode is usually protected with a password. You also see the output of the prompt: Router>enable Password: Router# When you are in privileged EXEC mode, how do you return to user EXEC mode? You return to user EXEC mode using the disable, exit, or end IOS commands. Here is an example of using the disable command: Router#disable Router> What two types of content-sensitive help are available in the Cisco IOS? Word help and command syntax help are the two types of content-sensitive help. Word help uses a question mark and identifies commands that start with a character or sequence of characters. For example, the following router output shows the use of word help for any IOS command that starts with the letters cl: Router#cl? clear clock
Command syntax help is when you use a question mark after a command so that you can see how to complete the command.
For example: Router#clock ? set Set the time and date On NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 139
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 a Cisco router, what does the show version command display? The show version command displays the system hardware's configuration, including RAM, Flash memory, software version, configuration register, and boot images. Here is an example of the show version command: Router#show version Cisco Internetwork Operating System SoftwareIOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-D-L), Version 12.0(13), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)Copyright (c) 1986-2000 by Cisco Systems, Inc.Compiled Wed 06-Sep-00 01:08 by lindaImage text-base: 0x030388F8, data-base: 0x00001000 ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 5.2(5), RELEASE SOFTWAREBOOTFLASH: 3000 Bootstrap Software (IGS-RXBOOT), Version 10.2(5), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Router uptime is 50 minutesSystem restarted by power-onSystem image file is "flash:c2500-dl.120-13.bin" cisco 2505 (68030) processor (revision C) with 8192K/2048K bytes of memory.Processor board ID 02073409, with hardware revision 00000000(text omitted)32K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.8192K bytes of processor board System flash (Read ONLY) Configuration register is 0x2102 On a Cisco router, how do you display the configuration running in RAM? You display the configuration running in RAM using the show running-config privileged mode command. For example: Router#show running-config Building configuration... Current configuration: ! version 12.0service timestamps debug uptimeservice timestamps log uptimeno service password-encryption ! hostname Router ! enable password cisco ! --More-On a Cisco router, how do you view the configuration stored in NVRAM? You view the configuration stored in NVRAM using the show startup-config privileged mode command. What Cisco router command would you use to view a list of the most recently used commands? The show history command, by default, displays the last ten commands used. You can also use the up arrow key (or Ctrl-P) to display the last command you entered and the down arrow key (or Ctrl-N) to display the previous commands you entered. The following is an example of the show history command: Router#show history en NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 140
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 show running-config show running-config show history enable show version show time show history Router# Command history is enabled by default and records ten commands in its history buffer for the current session. How do you edit the number of commands that are stored in the router's history buffer? To edit the number of command lines stored for the current session, use the terminal history [size number-of-lines] command in privileged EXEC mode. For example, the following changes the history size to 20 lines: Router#terminal history size 20 Note: The maximum number of lines you can set for the current session is 256, but doing so wastes router memory. To turn off terminal history, use the terminal no history privileged mode command. If you want to set the history size longer than the current session, go to the console interface and enter the history [size number-of-lines] interface command as a more permanent way of changing the history buffer. This command is unavailable on a Catalyst 1900 switch. On a Cisco router, name the enhanced editing commands that are used to do the following: Move the cursor to the beginning of the line Move the cursor to the end of the line Move the cursor forward one character Move the cursor back one character Move the cursor back one word Delete a line Complete a line Display a line versus a screen Move the cursor to the beginning of the line Ctrl-A Move the cursor to the end of the line Ctrl-E Move the cursor forward one character Ctrl-F Move the cursor back one character Ctrl-B Move the cursor back one word Esc-B Delete all characters from the cursor to the beginning of the command line - Ctrl-U Complete a line - Tab Display a line versus a screen - Enter What are global commands on a Cisco router? Global configuration commands are commands that affect the entire router. They can be executed only in global configuration mode. How do you enter global configuration mode? To enter global configuration mode, you enter the config terminal command from privileged EXEC mode. Here is an example of this command: NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 141
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Router#config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)# How do you configure a name on a Cisco router? The hostname name global configuration command is used to configure a name on a Cisco router. For example, the following command changes the router's host name to RouterA: Router(config)#hostname RouterA RouterA(config)# How do you add a message-of-the-day (MOTD) banner on a Cisco router? To add a message-of-the-day banner to a Cisco router, enter the banner motd # text # global configuration command. The pound signs (#) are delimiting characters. They can be any character of your choice, but they must be the same and cannot be included in your text. They signify the beginning and end of your text. The following example shows the banner motd command: RouterA(config)#banner motd # Enter TEXT message. End with the character '#'.Warning only authorized users many access this Router. # RouterA(config)# Note: The MOTD banner is displayed to anyone connecting to the router via Telnet, console port, or auxiliary port. On a Cisco router, how do you add a password to the console terminal? To add a password to the console terminal, use the line console 0 global configuration command, followed by the login and password password line subcommands: RouterA(config)#line console 0 RouterA(config-line)#login RouterA(config-line)#password CCNA In this example, the login subcommand forces the router to prompt for authentication. Without this command, the router will not authenticate a password. The password CCNA command sets the console password to CCNA. The password you set is case-sensitive. How do you add a password for Telnet access on a Cisco router? To add a password for Telnet access, enter the line vty 0 4 global configuration command, the login command, and finally the password line subcommand. The password is case-sensitive. In this example, the Telnet password is set to CCNA: RouterA(config)#line vty 0 4 RouterA(config-line)#login RouterA(config-line)#password CCNA What command do you use to add a password to the auxiliary interface on your Cisco router? To add a password to the auxiliary interface, use the line aux NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 142
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 global configuration command, followed by the login and password subcommands. is the number of the auxiliary port you want to add a password to. The password is case-sensitive. The following example sets the password for the auxiliary port to CCNA: RouterA(config)#line aux 0 RouterA(config-line)#login RouterA(config-line)#password CCNA On a Cisco router, how do you set a password to restrict access to privileged EXEC mode? You set a password to restrict access to privileged EXEC mode using the enable password global configuration command: RouterA(config)#enable password CCNA This example sets the password to enter privileged mode to CCNA. By default, when you view the router's configuration, the enable password is not encrypted. What command can you enter to use an encrypted enable password? To use an encrypted enable password, use the enable secret password global configuration command, where password is a case-sensitive password you assign: RouterA(config)#enable secret Cisco If you have an enable password on your router, the IOS will allow you to use the same password as your enable password for your secret password, but this is not recommended. This is because the enable password is not encrypted and anyone can view it. If you have both an enable and secret password configured on your router, the router will use the secret password and not the enable password. When you view the configuration on Cisco routers, only the enable secret password is encrypted. How do you encrypt user mode and the enable password? To encrypt user mode and the enable password, use the service password-encryption global command: RouterA(config)#service password-encryption How do you configure Cisco router interfaces? To configure an interface on a Cisco router, use the interface interface-type number global command, where interface-type number is the interface type and number you want to configure. For example, if you want to configure the second serial interface on your router, you would enter the following: RouterA(config)#interface serial 1 RouterA(config-if)# Cisco interfaces start with 0 instead of 1. So the first interface would be number 0. The prompt also changes to RouterA(config-if)# to tell you that you are in interface mode. If you have a router with module slot, such as the Cisco 3600, you would enter into interface mode by entering the slot/port number. For example, if you have a NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 143
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 Cisco 3600 router with two module serial interfaces and you want to configure the first serial interface on the second module you would enter interface s1/0.
How do you administratively disable an interface on a Cisco router? You administratively disable an interface on a Cisco router by issuing the shutdown interface configuration command. In this example, the serial interface is issued the shutdown command: RouterA(config)#int s0 RouterA(config-if)#shutdown 00:27:14: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0, changed state to administratively down To administratively enable an interface, use the no shutdown interface command. What are some of the things the show interface interface-type number command displays? The show interface command displays the following: Whether the interface is administratively down Whether the line protocol is up or down An Internet address (if one is configured) MTU and bandwidth Traffic statistics on the interface Interface encapsulation type RouterA#show interface s0 Serial0 is down, line protocol is down Hardware is HD64570 Internet address is 192.168.1.1/24 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255 Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec) Last input never, output never, output hang never Last clearing of "show interface" counters never Input queue: 0/75/0 (size/max/drops); Total output drops: 0 Queueing strategy: weighted fair Output queue: 0/1000/64/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops) Conversations 0/0/256 (active/max active/max total) Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated) 5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 no buffer Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles 0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort 0 packets output, 0 bytes, 0 underruns 0 output errors, 0 collisions, 2 interface resets 0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out 0 carrier transitions DCD=up DSR=up DTR=down RTS=down CTS=up On your Cisco router, you enter show interface s0 and notice that the port is administratively down. What does this mean, and how do you fix it? When an interface is administratively down, it has been shut down manually. To remedy this, enter the interface command no shut. What two commands can you use to show the clock rate on a serial interface? To view the clock rate on a serial interface, you can use the show running-config enable command and the show controllers enable command. Assuming that you are using no CSU/DSU and you are using back-to-back DTE/DCE serial cables, what command would you use to set the serial interface on a router to provide clocking to another router at 64 Kbps? The command to set the serial interface on a router to provide clocking to another router at 64 Kbps is clock rate 64000. Setting the clock rate on an interface makes it a DCE interface.

Quick Notes - PPP

PPP can be used over what physical WAN interfaces? PPP can be used on the following: Asynchronous serial interfaces High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) ISDN Synchronous serial interfaces
PPP is a data link layer protocol that provides network-layer services. What are the two sublayers of PPP? The two sublayers of PPP are the following:
Network Core Protocol (NCP) is the component that encapsulates and configures multiple network layer protocols. Some examples<> Link Control Protocol (LCP) is used to establish, configure, maintain, and terminate PPP connections.
What features does LCP offer to PPP encapsulation? LCP offers authentication, callback, compression, error detection, and multilink to PPP encapsulation.
The two methods of authentication on PPP links are: Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
PAP is the less-secure of the two methods; passwords are sent in clear text and are exchanged only upon initial link establishment.
CHAP is used upon initial link establishment and periodically to make sure that the router is still communicating with the same host. CHAP passwords are NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 145
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 exchanged as MD5 encrypted values.
What two protocols are available for compression on PPP links? The two protocols available for compression are Stacker and Predictor.
What three phases are used to establish a PPP session? The three phases used to establish a PPP session are the following: Step 1. Link establishment--Each PPP device sends LCP packets to configure and test the link (Layer 1).
Step 2. Authentication phase (optional)--If authentication is configured, either PAP or CHAP is used to authenticate the link. Authentication must take place before the network layer protocol phase can begin (Layer 2).
Step 3. Network layer protocol phase--PPP sends NCP packets to choose and configure one or more network layer protocols to be encapsulated and sent over the PPP data link (Layer 3).
Note on authentication: Hostname and passwords are case-sensitive.
How do you enable PPP encapsulation on a Cisco router serial interface? To enable PPP encapsulation on a serial interface, enter the encapsulation ppp interface command: RouterB(config-if)#encapsulation ppp
How do you enable PPP authentication using PAP or CHAP on a Cisco router? To enable PPP authentication on a Cisco router, follow these steps:
Step 1. Make sure that each router has a host name assigned to it using the hostname command.
Step 2. On each router, define the username of the remote router and password that both routers will use with the username name password password command.
Step 3. Configure PPP authentication with the ppp authentication {chap chap pap pap chap pap} interface command. (If both PAP and CHAP are enabled, the first method you specify in the command is used. If the peer suggests the second method or refuses the first method, the second method is used.)

What is the default encapsulation on a Cisco serial interface? HDLC
Quick Notes - VLANS

What are VLANs? VLANs are broadcast domains in a Layer 2 network. Each broadcast domain is like a distinct virtual bridge within the switch. Each virtual bridge you create in a switch defines a broadcast domain. By default, traffic from one VLAN cannot pass to another VLAN. Each of the users in a VLAN is also in the same IP subnet, and each switch port can belong to only one VLAN.
What are the three characteristics of a typical VLAN setup? The three characteristics of a typical VLAN setup are: Each logical VLAN is like a separate physical bridge. VLANs can span multiple switches. Trunks carry traffic for multiple VLANs.
What are trunk links? By default, each port on a switch can belong to only one VLAN. For devices that are in VLANs (that span multiple switches) to talk to other devices in the same VLAN, you must use trunking or have a dedicated port per VLAN. Trunk links allow the switch to carry multiple VLANs across a single link.
What are the two methods you can use to assign a port to a VLAN? The two methods to assign a port to a VLAN are Statically Dynamically
What is Inter-Switch Link (ISL)? ISL is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to interconnect switches that have multiple VLANs. It maintains VLAN information as traffic goes between NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 147
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 switches, allowing the traffic to enter the correct VLAN. ISL operates in a point-to-point environment.
At which layer of the OSI model does ISL function? ISL functions at Layer 2 of the OSI model. It encapsulates a data frame with a new ISL header and CRC. Because ISL operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, it is protocol-independent.
What type of tagging method does ISL use? Many network professions refer to the way ISL tags frames as an external tagging mechanism. This is because ISL encapsulates each frame and does not modify the original packet. Many network professions refer to the way ISL tags frames as an external tagging mechanism. This is because ISL encapsulates each frame and does not modify the original packet.
How many extra bytes does ISL add to an existing Ethernet frame? ISL adds a 26-byte ISL header and a 4-byte CRC to each frame, extending each Ethernet frame by 30 bytes. ISL tagging is implemented in ASICs, so tagging is done at wire speed.
What is VTP? VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) is a Layer 2 messaging protocol that maintains VLAN configuration consistency throughout a common administrative domain by managing VLANs' additions, deletions, and name changes across multiple switches. Without VTP, you would have to add VLAN information in all switches in your network.
What is a VTP domain? A VTP domain is one or more interconnected switches that share the same VTP environment. A switch can be in only one VTP domain, and all VLAN information is propagated to all switches in the same VTP domain.
What are the three VTP modes? The three VTP modes are Server Client Transparent
What is VTP server mode? A switch in VTP server mode can add, delete, and modify VLANs and other configuration parameters for the entire VTP domain. This is the default mode for all Catalyst switches. VLAN configurations are saved in NVRAM. When you change VLAN configuration in server mode, the change is dynamically propagated to all switches in the VTP domain. NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 148
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 What is VTP client mode? In VTP client mode, a switch cannot create, delete, or modify VLANs. Also, a VTP client does not save VLAN information and configuration in NVRAM. In client and server mode, VLAN information is synchronized between switches in the VTP domain.
What is VTP transparent mode? In transparent mode, a switch can add, modify, and delete VLANs. This information is not transmitted to other switches in the VTP domain. They affect only the local switch. VTP transparent mode is used when a switch does not need to participate in the VTP domain but needs to propagate VTP information to other switches.
How often are VTP advertisements flooded throughout the management domain? VTP advertisements are flooded throughout the management domain every 5 minutes or whenever a change occurs in VLAN configuration.
What is included in VTP advertisements? VTP advertisements include the following: VTP revision number VLAN names and numbers Information about switches that have ports assigned to each VLAN
What is one of the most important components of the VTP advertisement? The revision number is one of the most important components of the VTP advertisement. Every time a VTP server modifies its VLAN configuration, it increments the configuration number by 1. The largest configuration number in the VTP domain contains the most current information. When a client receives a revision number higher than its current number, it updates its VLAN configuration.
On a Catalyst 1900 switch, how do you reset the configuration number? To reset the configuration numbers on a Catalyst 1900, use the delete vtp privileged EXEC command, and then reset the switch.
What is VTP pruning? By default, a trunk link carries traffic for all VLANs in the VTP domain. Even if a switch does not have any ports in a specific VLAN, traffic for that VLAN is carried across the trunk link. VTP pruning uses VLAN advertisements to determine when a trunk connection is needlessly flooding traffic to the trunk links that the traffic must use to access the appropriate network device.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 does the Catalyst 1900 support? The Catalyst 1900 supports 64 VLANs with a separate spanning tree per VLAN.
What VLAN number are CDP and VTP advertisements sent across? CDP and VTP advertisements are sent on VLAN 1, which is also known as the management VLAN.
What must you remember before you create VLANs on a Catalyst switch? Before you create VLANs on a Catalyst 1900 switch, the switch must be in VTP server mode or VTP transparent mode.
How do you configure the VTP operation mode on a Catalyst 1900? To configure VTP on a Catalyst 1900, use the vtp [server transparent client] global configuration command: Cat1900(config)#vtp server
How do you configure a VTP domain on a Catalyst 1900 switch? To configure a VTP domain on a Catalyst 1900 switch, use the vtp domain domain-name global command: Cat1900(config)#vtp domain cisco
How do you configure a VTP domain password on a Catalyst 1900? Use the vtp password password global command to configure a VTP domain password. This example sets the VTP password to cisco: Cat1900(config)#vtp password cisco
What does the show vtp privileged EXEC command display? The show vtp privileged EXEC command displays the following: VTP version The number of existing VLANs on a switch and the maximum number of locally supported VLANs VTP domain name, password, and operating mode Whether VTP pruning is enabled The last time VLAN configuration was modified. Here's an example of show vtp output: Cat1900#show vtp NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 150
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 VTP version: 1 Configuration revision: 0 Maximum VLANs supported locally: 1005 Number of existing VLANs: 5 VTP domain name : cisco VTP password : cisco VTP operating mode : Server VTP pruning mode : Disabled VTP traps generation : Enabled Configuration last modified by: 192.168.0.2 at 00-00-0000 00:00:00 What command do you use to add a VLAN on a Catalyst switch? To add a VLAN on a Catalyst switch, use the vlan vlan-number [name vlan_name] global command. The following example adds VLAN 10 with a name of Sales: Cat1900(config)#vlan 10 name Sales What Catalyst 1900 command can you use to verify VLAN information? To verify VLAN information, use the show vlan vlan-number privileged EXEC command. How do you view spanning tree information for a particular VLAN? A Catalyst 1900 switch can have a maximum of 64 VLANs with a separate instance of spanning tree per VLAN. To view spanning tree information for a particular VLAN use the "show spandtree vlan-id" command. What are the four layers of the TCP/IP layer model? The four layers of the TCP/IP layer model are: Application (process) Host-to-host (transport) Internet Network Access (physical and data link)
What two protocols function at the transport (host-to-host) layer of the TCP/IP model? The two protocols that function at the host-to-host layer of the TCP/IP model are TCP and UDP. (TCP is a connection-oriented, reliable protocol. UDP is a connectionless and unacknowledged protocol.)
What are the protocol numbers for TCP and UDP? NETMETRIC-SOLUTIONS www.netmetric-solutions.com All contents are copyright @ 2007-2010 All rights reserved. 151
Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 The protocol number for TCP is 6. The protocol number for UDP is 17.
How many bytes are in the header for TCP and UDP packets? A TCP header contains 20 bytes, and a UDP header contains 8 bytes.
What are TCP and UDP port numbers? To pass information (such as e-mail) to upper layers, TCP and UDP use port numbers. These port numbers are used to keep track of different conversations among different hosts at the same time. Originating source port numbers are dynamically assigned by the source host, which is a number greater than 1023.
What is the number range for "well-known" port numbers? Defined in RFC 1700, the well-known port numbers are 1 to 1023.
What are the steps for the TCP three-way handshake? The steps for the TCP three-way handshake are as follows: Step 1. The source host sends a SYN to the destination host. Step 2. The destination host replies with a SYN/ACK to the source host. Step 3. The source host replies with an ACK.
What are some protocols that operate at the TCP/IP Internet layer? Some protocols that operate at the TCP/IP Internet layer are IP ICMP ARP RARP
What is the Internet Protocol (IP)? IP is a connectionless protocol that provides best-effort delivery routing of datagrams.
What is the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)? ICMP is a management protocol for IP. ICMP messages are carried in IP datagrams and are used to send error and control messages. An example of a utility that uses ICMP is ping.
What is the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)? ARP is used to resolve a known IP address to a MAC address. In order for a host to communicate with another host, it must know the MAC address of the destination host (if they are on the same network) or next hop router. This is the reason for ARP.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 What is the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP)? RARP is a protocol used to find the IP address of a station that knows its MAC address. It is mainly used for diskless workstations that boot up and need an IP address. An RARP request is a broadcast packet.
What are the IP address ranges for Class A, Class B, and Class C addresses? The address ranges are as follows: Class A 1.0.0.0 to 126.0.0.0Class B 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.0.0Class C 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.0
What does RFC 1918 define? RFC 1918 defines reserved (private) networks and addresses that are not routed on the Internet. These addresses are 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, and 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. They are used as internal private addresses. Private addresses are widely used today, along with proxy servers and Network Address Translation to assist with "stretching" the current IP address space.
Cisco IOS software supports what three kinds of broadcasts? The three kinds of broadcasts that Cisco IOS software supports are: Flooding Directed broadcast All-subnet broadcast Flooded broadcasts are local broadcasts that have an address of 255.255.255.255. They are not propagated by a router. Direct broadcasts are directed to a specific network. They contain all 1s in the host portion of the address. Routers forward these broadcasts. An example is 192.168.0.255/24. All-subnet broadcast are broadcast messages to all hosts within a subnet and to all subnets within a network. An example is 192.168.255.255/24. With Cisco IOS release 12.0, a router does not forward all subnet broadcasts. You can use the ip directed-broadcast command to enable all subnet broadcasts.
How do you assign an IP address to a Cisco router? To assign an IP address to a router, use the ip address address subnet-mask interface configuration command. Here's an example: RouterB(config)#inter e0 RouterB(config-if)#ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.0.0 RouterB(config-if)#no shut Note: By default all interfaces on a Cisco router are administratively disabled. To enable them you must use the "no shut" interface command.

Instructor : Sikandar sikandarbaadshah@gmail.com 9985048840 How do you manually assign IP addresses to host names in a Cisco router? The ip host name [tcp-port-number] address [address] global configuration command lets you assign IP addresses to host names in a Cisco router. [tcp-port-number] is an optional parameter; the default value is Telnet. Here's an example: RouterB(config)#ip host cisco 172.16.0.1
What Cisco IOS command can you use to program the router to use a DNS server to resolve host names? The ip name-server server-address [[server-address2]...[server-address6]] command lets you program the Cisco router to resolve host names with a DNS server. Here's an example: RouterB(config)#ip name-server 172.16.0.250
If you enter a command that a Cisco router does not recognize, the router tries to resolve the command you just entered with a DNS server. How do you turn off this DNS domain lookup? To turn off DNS domain lookup, use the no ip domain-lookup global command. Here's an example: RouterB#enb Translating "enb"...domain server (255.255.255.255)% Unknown command or computer name, or unable to find computer address RouterB#config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. RouterB(config)#no ip domain-lookup
For different VLANs to communicate with each other, they need to be routed (a router!). To perform inter-VLAN routing, what two things must occur? To perform inter-VLAN routing, the following must occur: The router must know how to reach all VLANs being interconnected. The router must have a separate physical connection on the router for each VLAN, or trunking must be enabled on a single physical connection.
How do you enable ISL trunking on a Cisco router? To enable ISL trunking on a Cisco router, you must do the following: Step 1 Configure subinterfaces on the router's physical Fast Ethernet or Gigabit interface. (ISL trunking works only on Fast Ethernet or Gigabit interfaces.) Step 2 Assign an IP address to the subinterface. Step 3 Enable ISL encapsulation for the particular VLAN with the encapsulate isl vlan# subinterface command.
