Q

Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP)

A
  • Cisco’s proprietary first-hop redundancy protocol which
  • An active and a standby router used together
  • Establish a fault-tolerant default gateway
  • Presents as a asingle router

Q

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

A
  • IETF’s open standard variant of HSRP
  • Allows for an active router and multiple standby routers
  • Open standard
  • Simple and automatic election scheme

Q

Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG)

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Creates graphs showing traffic flows through the network interfaces of routers and switches
  • Using SNMP
21
Q

Start Configuration

Study These Flashcards
A

Stored in NVRAM and contains the commands needed to initially configure a router

22
Q

Running Configuration

Study These Flashcards
A

Actively being used by the router at that moment

23
Q

Asymmetrical Routing

Study These Flashcards
A

Packet leavs via on path and return via a different path causing issues with dropped packet flows

24
Q

Missing Routes

Study These Flashcards
A

When a router cannot reach a destination because there is a missing route in the routing table

Normally fixed by configuring Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

25
Switching/Bridge Loop
Occurs whenever there is more than one path between the source and destination devices Normally fixed by configuring Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
26
Routing Loop
Formed when an error occurs in the operation of the routing algorithm and creates a circular route amongst a group of network devices
27
Route Poisoning
Increasing a router's metric to an infinitely high number after detecting on of its connected routes has failed
28
Hold-Down Timer
Prevents bad routes from being restored and passed to other routers by accident
29
Protocol Independent Multicast Dense Mode (PIM-DM)
* Uses periodic flood and prune behavior to form optimal distribution tree * Negative performance impact
30
Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode (PIM-SM)
* Uses a shared distribution tree initially * Over time creates an optimal distribution tree through shortest path tree (SPT) switchover
31
Explain Spanning Tree Protocol
Permits redundant links between switches and prevents looping of network traffic
32
Shortes Path Bridging (SPB)
Used instead of STP for larger network environments.
33
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
-Advanced distance vector (Hybrid) -Interior -Uses bandwidth and delay -Cisco only
34
Router loopback is only on during diagnostic mode
35
IP Helper
* Enable a single DHCP server to provide IPs to every PC on the network, regardless of whether they are on the same broadcast domain or not. * Configured on a routed interface such as a VLAN or routers Ethernet interface & * Adding an IP Helper address to the new interface on the router will allow the DHCP broadcast requests to be forwarded to the workstations
36
Asymmetric Routing
* Network packets leave via one path and return via a different path * Cause issues with dropped packet flows by security devices like firewalls and UTM
37
ASN (Autonomous System Number)
* Used to control routing with BGP * Control routing within their networks * Exchange routing information with other ISPs. * There are 2-byte and 4-byte variants
38
Autonomous System (AS)
* A group of one or more IP prefixes (lists of IP addresses accessible on a network) run by one or more network operators that maintain a single, clearly defined routing policy. * Generally a different network
39
Broadcast Storm
Result of an excessive amount of broadcast or multicast traffic on a computer network
40
Discovery Protocol
* Gather detailed information (IP, system version, and device information) from supporting devices directly. * Simple network management protocol (SNMP) * Link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) * ping.
41
List Distance Vector Protocols
* RIP (Routing Information Protocol) * BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) * EIGRP (Enhanced Interiror Gateway Routing Protocol)
42
List Link State Protocols
* Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) * Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS)
43
Routing Redundancy Protocl
Prevents disruptions in communication by automatically rerouting data traffic in cas of a path or device failure.
44
FHRP (First Hop Redundancy Protocol)
Provide automatic failover to a backup router to maintain uninterrupted network service
45
Subinterface
* Allows a single physical interface on a router or switch to be subdivided into multip logical interfaces * Cost-efficient * Conduct traffic management
46
GLBP (Gateway Load Balancing Protocol)
* Cisco Developed * Adds load balanacing * All routers active simultaneously * Establish a fault-tolerant default gateway * Presents as a asingle router
47
PIM (Protocol Independant Multicast)
Routes multicast traffic between routers and forms a multicast distribution tree
48
GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)
* Tunneling protocol * Encaspulates a wide variety of L3 protocols * Virtural point to point links over an Internet Protocol network * Useful when connection similar network topologies over a different intermediate network
