ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is a _______ layer core protocol that reports on the success or failure of data delivery.
answer
Network
question
___'s lack of sophistication makes it more efficient than TCP.
answer
UDP
question
The TCP ___________________ is performed before TCP transmits the actual data.
answer
Three-way handshake
question
A _______ joins two or more networks and passes packets from one network to another.
answer
Router
question
The receiving host de-encapsulates the message at each layer in _______ order and then presents the payload to the receiving application.
answer
Reverse
question
A globally unique number that identifies an autonomous system. ASNs work similarly to IP addresses that identify individual nodes on a network. Each ASN now consists of 32 bits instead of 16 bits, and they are assigned by IANA.
answer
autonomous system number
question
The largest IP packet size in bytes allowable by routers in a path without fragmentation and excluding the frame size.
answer
MTU (maximum transmission unit)
question
A repeated trial message transmitted by the tracert and traceroute utilities to trigger routers along a route to return specific information about the route.
answer
probe
question
A router that connects an autonomous system with an outside network—for example, the router that connects a business to its ISP.
answer
interior router
question
Properties of a route used by routing protocols to determine the best path to a destination when various paths are available. Routing metrics may be calculated using any of several variables, including hop count, bandwidth, delay, MTU, cost, and reliability.
answer
routing metric
question
The router on a network that accepts all unroutable messages from other routers.
answer
gateway of last resort
question
The delay between the transmission of a signal and its receipt.
answer
latency
question
A process whereby routers learn about all of the devices on their networks. On IPv4 networks, this process is managed by ARP with help from ICMP. On IPv6 networks, NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) automatically detects neighboring devices and automatically adjusts when nodes fail or are removed from the network.
answer
neighbor discovery
question
A router that directs data between networks within the same autonomous system.
answer
gateway router
question
A number indicating a protocol's reliability, with lower values being given higher priority. This assignment can be changed by a network administrator when one protocol should take precedence over a previously higher-rated protocol on a network.
answer
administrative distance
question
In a TCP segment, what field indicates how many bytes the sender can issue to a receiver while acknowledgement for the segment is outstanding?
answer
Sliding window
question
What command can be used on a Cisco router to view the routing table?
answer
show ip route
question
What field in an IPv4 packet informs routers the level of precedence they should apply when processing an incoming packet?
answer
Differentiated Services (DiffServ)
question
What routing protocol criteria is defined as the time it takes to recognize a best path change in the event of a network outage?
answer
convergence time
question
What parameter can be combined with the traceroute command to instruct it to use ICMP echo requests instead of UDP datagrams?
answer
-I
question
A modern ASN consists of how many bits?
answer
32
question
At what layer of the OSI model would a TCP or UDP header be added to a payload?
answer
Layer 4
question
What TCP field below allows the receiving node to determine whether a TCP segment is corrupted during transmission?
answer
Checksum
question
In IPv6, what field is used to indicate what sequence of packets from one source to one or multiple destinations a packet belongs to?
answer
Flow Label
question
Which network routing protocol is a path vector protocol that sends updates between routers using TCP?
answer
BGP
question
What protocol replaces ARP, IGMP, and ICMPv4 on IPv6 based networks?
answer
ICMPv6
question
What netstat command option lists only current connections, including IP addresses and port numbers?
answer
-n
question
What happens when a router receives a packet with a TTL of 0?
answer
The router drops the packet and sends an ICMP TTL expired message back to the host.
question
What is NOT one of the three characteristics of TCP in its role as a reliable delivery protocol?
answer
Framing
question
The IP connectionless protocol relies on what other protocol to guarantee delivery of data?
answer
TCP
question
What IPv4 protocol handles multicasting for tasks such as videoconferencing or teleconferencing?
answer
IGMP
question
What type of routing protocol enables routers to communicate beyond neighboring routers, allowing each router to create a map of an entire network?
answer
link state
question
Which of the following is not a task handled by a router?
answer
A router forwards broadcasts over the network.
question
When viewing the routing table on a UNIX system, what flag indicates if a route is a usable route?
answer
U
question
By default, the pathping command sends how many pings per hop?
answer
100
question
Which of the following are types of entries an ARP table contains?
answer
Static and Dynamic
question
What versions of the IP protocol are used on networks today?
answer
IPv6 and IPv4
question
What address does ARP work in conjunction with IPv4 to discover?
answer
Physical and MAC
question
Which layers of the OSI model are all routers able to interpret?
answer
2 and 4
question
What two fields below are used by IPv4 and IPv6 respectively to limit the number of times that a packet can be forwarded on a network?
answer
TTL and Hop limit
question
Describe the difference between dynamic ARP table entries and static ARP table entries.
answer
An ARP table can contain two types of entries: dynamic and static. Dynamic ARP table entries are created when a client makes an ARP request that could not be satisfied by data already in the ARP table. Static ARP table entries are those that someone has entered manually using the ARP utility.
question
List some examples of routing metrics that might be used to determine the best path for data.
answer
Routing metrics-Hop count, throrectical bandwidtth and actual throughpout on a potential path, Delay, or latency, on a potential path, which results in slower performance, load or the traffic or processing burden sustained by a router in the path.
question
Describe the OSPF routing protocol.
answer
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is an IGP and a link-state routing protocol used on interior or border routers. It was introduced as an improvement to RIP
question
What is the difference between static and dynamic routing?
answer
Dynamic Routing- Automatically calculates the best patch between two networks and accumulates this information in the routing table
question
IP is an unreliable, connectionless protocol.
answer
True
question
As a network support technician, you only need to know how to support IPv6.
answer
False
question
UDP provides error checking, but not sequencing.
answer
False
question
On IPv4 networks, IGMP operates at the Network layer of the OSI model to manage multicasting.
answer
True
question
IPv4 and IPv6 use the same packet format
answer
False
