1. Enable Password Cisco

A: Enable password protection, password = cisco (or whatever is entered after password
in the command line)
2. Enable Password Secret
A: The enable secret command uses a very secure MD5 cryptographic hash algorithm. It
is impossible to recover an enable secret based on the contents of a configuration file
(other than by obvious dictionary attacks). Password security relies on the password
algorithm, and the password.
3. A router needs to provide address translation to allow internet access from hosts
4. Q: When computer D sends a frame to Computer A, what computers receive the
frame?
5. A: Computer A receives the frame only because it on a switched network
6. Q: What are 2 transport layer protocols for TFTP?
4.1.2 Segmentation and Reassembly/Conversation Multiplexing?
Router#copy running-config startup-config
A: Saves to NVRAM and saves startup config
7. Serial0/0 interface is up but line protocol is down
A: You must provide clocking and in turn be of the DCE type. Clock rate command has
not been entered on the DCE interface.
Interface Serial0/0/0
Encapsulation frame-relay
clock rate 6400
frame-relay intf-type dce
8. Router(config)#Interface serial 0/0/
9. Router(config-if)#
A: Used to config individual interfaces

11. Functions of a Switch, Router and Hub:
12. Switch: enables a host to communicate with another host on the same network
13.. Router: enables host to communicate with another host on a different
network
14. Hub: enables a host to communicate with another host on the same network
15. Know the parts of a URL
HTTP (the protocol or scheme)
www.cisco.com (the server name)
Web-server.htm (the specific file name requested)
The browser then checks with a name server to convert www.cisco.com into a numeric address,
which it uses to connect to the server. Using the HTTP protocol requirements, the browser sends
a GET request to the server and asks for the file web-server.htm. The server in turn sends the
HTML code for this web page to the browser. Finally, the browser deciphers the HTML code and

Study Guide Expanded

formats the page for the browser window.

16. Know the functions of the OSI Model

Layer 1 (Physical): Conveys bit stream to light or radio signal
Layer 2 (Data-link): Data packets are encoded and decoded into bits.
Layer 3 (Network): Switching and routing for transmitting data and packet sequencing
Layer 4 (Transport): Transfer of data between end system (hosts) and is responsible for
end-to-end error recovery and flow control. Ensures complete data transfer
Later 5 (Session): Manages and terminates connections between applications
Layer 6(Presentation): Works to transform data into a form that the application layer can
accept
Layer 7 (Application): Communication partners identified, QoS is identified, user
authentication and privacy are considered. Provides application services for file transfers,
e-mails and network software services.

Section 2.5.4 Getting the Data to the right application
18. Router will route packets to a remote network
20. Ping 127.0.0.01. With 4 replies
A:
21. Test the Stack 11.3.1
Hub to Hub
Switch to Hub
Switch to Switch
Q: Which one will provide full media bandwidth
A: Switch to Switch because of the dedication line
22. HyperTerminal
Capture text: It is often necessary, and always handy, to save the configuration file to an
off-line text file. One way to save the configuration file is to use HyperTerminal Transfer
menu option Capture.
23. Difference between peer-to-peer and client server networks
Peer-to-peer: two or more computers are connected via a network and can share
resources (such as printers and files) without having a dedicated server
Client/Server: the device requesting the information is called a client and the device
responding to the request is called a server.
24. Q: What is a point-to-point logical topology diagram?
A: Logical Topology: the way a network transfers frames from one node to the next.
(point-to-point, multi-access, ring)
B: Physical Topology: arrangement of the nodes and the physical connections between
them.
25. How many host address may be assigned when using the 128.150.0.0 network
address with a subnet mask of 255.255.248.0? *IN NOTES*
26. Q: What is Telnet and SSH?
A: Telent: Rather than using a physical device to connect to the server, Telnet uses software to
create a virtual device that provides the same features of a terminal session with access to the
server command line interface (CLI).
A: SSH: provides the structure for secure remote login and other secure network services.
Provides stronger

Study Guide Expanded

authentication than Telnet and supports the transport of session data using encryption. As a best
practice, network professionals should always use SSH in place of Telnet.

27. Know how the 3 cables are constructed and what they are used for
Straight Through Cable
Used for: -Switch to Router Computer to Switch Computer to Hub
Crossover Cable

Used for: -Switch to Switch Switch to Hub Hub to Hub Router to Router
Computer to Computer Computer to Router
Console Cable? MDI/MDX Selection? 10.2.2
28. Be able to compare TCP/IP and OSI models

Similarities: Both models have a lower layer that connects the upper layers to the actual
physical network. Both models have an application, a transport, and a network/Internet
layer. Differences: The TCP/IP model does not have a session layer (layer 5) or a
presentation layer (layer 6)
29. Default Terminal emulation software settings when configuring a CISCO device
through a console port
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: 0

34. Show version command: Displays information about the currently loaded software
version, along with hardware and device information. Some of the information shown
from this command are:
Software Version - IOS software version (stored in flash)
Bootstrap Version - Bootstrap version (stored in Boot ROM)
System up-time - Time since last reboot
System restart info - Method of restart (e.g., power cycle, crash)
Software image name - IOS filename stored in flash
Router Type and Processor type - Model number and processor type
Memory type and allocation (Shared/Main) - Main Processor RAM and Shared Packet I/O
buffering
35. How to calculate amount of RAM in a router*IN NOTES*

36. Q: What is a backoff algorithm? A: When a collision is detected each sender will delay
before transmitting. Each sender chooses a random delay between 0 and d (delay
value). If another collision occurs, each computer doubles the rand from which the delay
is chosen, meaning the random delay will now be between 0 and 2d.
37. Q: What happens when a collision occurs?
A: If a collision is heard, both of the senders will send a jam signal over the Ethernet. This
jam signal indicates to all other devices on the Ethernet segment that there has been a
collision, and they should not send data onto the wire. After sending the jam signal, each
of the senders will wait a random amount of time before beginning the entire process
over.
38. What is the broadcast address for the network 173.16.80.32/28? *IN NOTES*
39. Static and dynamic and broadcast address
Static Address: With a static assignment, the network administrator must manually
configure the network information for a host. At a minimum, this includes entering the
host IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Advantages: Useful for printers,
servers and other network devices that need to be accessible to clients over a network.
Can provide increased control of network resources. Disadvantages: 1. Time consuming
Dynamic Address: DHCP enables the automatic assignment of addressing information such as IP
address,
subnet mask, default gateway, and other configuration information. Uses address pool
Broadcast Address: A broadcast address is a logical address at which all devices connected to a
multiple-access communications network are enabled to receive datagrams. A message sent to
a broadcast address is typically received by all network-attached hosts, rather than by a specific
host.
40. Terminal Emulation Software*IN NOTES*
41. Network admin wants to subnet into 4 subnets
