CCNA 3-4 Commands
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| CAM | Content Addressable Memory in a Switch |
| Store and Forward | Entire frame is stored in memory, checked, and then sent to it's destination |
| Cut Through | Frame is forwarded before all of it is received |
| CRC | Cyclic Redundancy Check |
| FCS | Frame Check Sequence |
| Fast Forward | Frame is forwarded as soon as destination MAC is received |
| Fragment Free | First 64 bytes are read before forwarded to prevent runts |
| Adaptive Cut Through | Starts switching Fast Forward, but changes to Store and Forward if there are a lot of errors |
| STP | Spanning Tree Protocol |
| BPDU | Bridge Protocol Data Units used by STP by multicasting to other switches every 2 seconds |
| STP Port Power On States | Blocking (solid amber), Listening (blinking amber), Learning (blinking amber), Forwarding (blinking green) |
| Root Bridge | The focal point switch that is elected based on Bridge ID (BID) |
| BID | Bridge ID=Bridge Priority + MAC address, lower BID wins. Same BID, lower MAC wins |
| Root Port | Least cost path back to the root bridge |
| Designated Port | Not the least cost path back to the root bridge |
| Blocked Port | Does not forward traffic (not the same as disabled port) |
| STP PortFast | Access port enters forwarding state immediately |
| STP UplinkFast | Accelerates the choice of a root port |
| STP BackboneFast | Provides fast convergence after a STP topology change |
| Spanning Tree Protocol IEEE | IEEE 802.1D |
| Rapid STP IEEE | IEEE 802.1w |
| RSTP | Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (not proprietary like PortFast) |
| RSTP Port States | discarding, learning, forwarding |
| VMPS | VLAN Management Policy Server |
| Management VLAN | VLAN 1, aka native VLAN |
| Frame Tagging | VLAN ID is inserted into the ethernet frame |
| Frame Tagging Standard | IEEE 802.1Q aka dot1q |
| VLAN functions | Limits size of broadcast domains, improves network performance, provides security |
| ISL | Cisco proprietary frame tagging standard "Inter-Switch Link" |
| Where untagged frames go | VLAN 1 |
| ACL | Access Control Lists |
| Standard ACL | ACL based on Source IP in Packet. 1-99 |
| Extended ACL | ACL based on SRC, DEST, protocol. 100-199 |
| Named ACL | NACL referenced by a descriptive name rather than a number |
| BCP | Business Continuity Plan |
| BSP | Business Security Plan |
| NMP | Network Maintenance Plan |
| SLA | Service Level Agreement |
| IDF | Intermediate Distribution Facility |
| MDF | Main Distribution Facility |
| Microsegment | A connection between ports on a switch made by a virtual circuit |
| VTP | Vlan Trunking Protocol, layer 2, distributes vlan database |
| Hierarchical Addressing | Address structure where branches of a network are subnets of the larger network |
| Route Aggregation | syn: Route summarization |
| Quad Zero Route | 0.0.0.0 |
| Distance Vector Protocols | Routing Protocols where routers rely on their direct neighbor for information about where other networks are located. |
| RIPng | RIP Next Generation, 15 hops max, split horizon and poison reverse, |
| RIPv2 | Classless routing, VLSM, CIDR, authentication, multicasts every 30s, AD=120, UDP520 |
| RIPv1 | Classful routing, automatic summary, broadcasts every 30 s, AD=120, UDP520 |
| split horizon | router does not send routing info from the interface it came in on |
| route poisoning | setting the route to 16 to stop traffic on route to break loops |
| poisoned reverse | setting network or subnet to "unreachable" to break loops |
| holdown | a router stops sending or receiving info for a set amount of time to remove bad routes. |
| RIP request | requesting RIP neighbors to report routes |
| RIP response | RIP router sends out responses to RIP requests |
| triggered update | RIP router sends out it's routing table update |
