...IGRP to communicate their routes? A.) Same autonomous system number B.) Connected using Ethernet only C.) Use composite metric D.) Configured for PPP For two routers to exchange IGRP routes they must be configured with the same autonomous system number. The correct answer(s): C The following is partial output from a routing table, identify the 2 numbers in the square brackets; '192.168.10.0 [100/1300] via 10.1.0.1, 00:00:23, Ethernet1' A.) 100 = metric, 1300 = administrative distance B.) 100 = administrative distance, 1300 = hop count C.) 100 = administrative distance, 1300 = metric D.) 100 = hop count, 1300 = metric The first number is the Administrative distance and the seconds number is the metric. In this case it is an IGRP metric. The correct answer(s): A B C Identify 3 methods used to prevent routing loops? A.) Split horizon B.) Holddown timers C.) Poison reverse D.) SPF algorithm E.) LSP's Routing loops can be prevented by split horizon, poison reverse and holddown times. The other two choices relate to Link State. The correct answer(s): A Which statement is true regarding full duplex? A.) Allows for transmission and receiving of data simultaneously B.) Only works in a multipoint configuration C.) Does not affect the bandwidth D.) Allows for transmission and receiving of data but not a the same time Full duplex is just the opposite of half duplex.

...CCNA Notes Introduction Cisco offers two options for obtaining the CCNA certification: Pass Exam 640-802 OR Pass Exam 640-822 AND Exam 640-816 While you can use these notes to prepare for either exam, the notes are geared towards passing the single exam. I recommend you study all of the material and take the single exam option rather than taking two exams. Cisco Device Icons The following table lists the specific icons Cisco uses to represent network devices and connections. Represents Icon Hub Bridge Switch Router Access point Network cloud Ethernet connection Serial Line connection Wireless connection Virtual Circuit The OSI Model As you study this section, answer the following questions: What is the OSI model and why is it important in understanding networking? How does the third OSI model layer relate to administering routers? Which OSI model layer is concerned with MAC addresses? What protocols correspond to the Presentation and Session layers? What is the difference between the TCP and UDP protocols? What is the EIA/TIA 232 protocol concerned with? This section covers the following exam objectives: 103. Use the OSI and TCP/IP models and their associated protocols to explain how data flows in a network 105. Describe the purpose and basic operation of the protocols in the OSI and TCP models 110. Identify and correct common network problems at layers 1, 2, 3 and 7 using a layered model approach ...

...their communication networks. The documentation produced by this analysis will give the management at Riordan Manufacturing an understanding of their networks today, a plan for future upgrades and a baseline to evaluate security. The goal of this exercise is three fold. Our first will be to provide an inventory of the existing network components for Riordan Manufacturing designated by location, review the network security for each site, and our last goal is to document the current security plan for use in future planning. Because of the limited scope of the project, several assumptions must be made. The first assumption is that Riordan Manufacturing has accurate records of the current infrastructure and no changes will be made during this study. Furthermore, we must assume the equipment at each location is similarly configured. The deliverables for this project will consist of an inventory by location of the network in a Visio format, description of the security by location of the network, and recommendations for changes to the network design, circuit speeds, and reasons why the changes should be...

...Semester Two Journal and Study Guide CISCO SYSTEMS NETWORKING Academy CCNA 2 Chapter 1 WANs and Routers One major characteristic of a wide-area network (WAN) is that the network operates beyond the local LAN's geographic scope. It uses the services of carriers, such as regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs), Sprint, and MCI. WANs use serial connections of various types to access bandwidth over wide-area geographies. By definition, the WAN connects devices that are separated by wide areas. WAN devices include the following: • • • • • • Routers, which offer many services, including internetworking and WAN interface ports Switches, which connect to WAN bandwidth for voice, data, and video communication Modems, which interface voice-grade services and channel service units/digital service units Channel service units/data service units (CSUs/DSUs) that interface T1/E1 services and Terminal Adapters/Network Termination 1 (TA/NT1s) TA/NT1s that interface Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) services Communication servers, which concentrate on dial-in and dial-out user communication Concept Questions 1. A WAN is used to interconnect local-area networks (LANs) that are typically separated by a large geographic area. A WAN operates at the OSI reference model physical and data link layers. The WAN provides for the exchange of data packets/frames between routers/bridges and the LANs that they support. Draw a WAN that includes three LANs. 1 of 116 CCNA 2 Chapter 1 WANs and...

CCNPv6 ROUTE Chapter 1 Lab 1-1, Tcl Script Reference and Demonstration Instructor Version Topology Objectives • • Use Tcl scripts to verify full connectivity. Identify causes of failures. Background The Cisco IOS Scripting feature provides the ability to run Tool Command Language (Tcl) commands from the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI). Tcl scripts can be created to accomplish routine and repetitive functions with Cisco IOS-based networking devices. In this lab, you create and execute a Tcl script that sends pings to multiple IP addresses in the network to test overall network connectivity. Note: Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)T and later supports Tcl scripting. Required Resources • • 2 routers (Cisco 1841 with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T1 Advanced IP Service or comparable) Serial and console cables Note: This lab uses Cisco 1841 routers with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T1 and the advanced IP image c1841-advipservicesk9-mz.124-24.T1.bin. Other routers (such as a 2801 or 2811) and Cisco IOS Software versions can be used if they have comparable capabilities and features. Depending on the router model and Cisco IOS Software version, the commands available and output produced might...
