Routers are used for what purpose?

Routers are used to interconnect remote sites.

100

What happens to a packet if there is no matching route entry?

The packet is dropped.

100

What are Remote Routes?

Remote networks connected to other routers.

100

Wireless is what type of duplex?

half-duplex

100

Switches use what to direct network communications through the switch?

MAC addresses

200

What level do OSI layer do routers run on?

Network layer (Layer 3)

200

To encapsulate a packet in the Ethernet frame, what does a router need

A MAC address
200

What are static routes?

A Static route is when a route is manually configured and the exit interface is active.

200

What is the physical layer difference between wireless and wired ethernet LANs?

Wireless uses radio frequency (RF), while wired uses physical cables.

200

How many paths does STP ensure there are?

STP ensures that there is only one possible path.

300

What two primary functions do Routers have. 

Path determination and packet forwarding.

300

How does a router Forward a packet to a known device?

The Router examines the IP address in the packet header and consults its IP routing table.

300

What are directly connected routes?

Directly connected routes are from active router Interfaces.

300

What media access control does wireless use?

collision avoidance

300

What does STP prevent?

STP prevents loops.

400

The routing process uses what to determine the most efficient path for forwarding an IP packet?

Network routing tables, protocols, and algorithms

(One of any of the three answers counts as being correct)

400

What does a Router use when it's looking for a matching IPv4 address?

The router sends out an ARP request

400

What is Dynamic routing protocol?

This is when routing protocols dynamically learn about the network.

400

What do WLANS use to determine how and when to send data on the network?

CSMA/CA

400

What is a routed port?

It is a pure Layer 3 interface similar to a physical interface on a Cisco IOS router.

500

What is the primary responsibility of the switching function on a router?

I's primary function is to encapsulate packets in the appropriate data link frame type for the outgoing data link. 

500

What does a Router use when it's looking for a matching IPv6 address

The router sends out an ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation (NS) message 

500

what year was the first routing protocol RIPv1 released in?

1988

500

For wireless devices to communicate over a network they must complete a three step process. What is this process?

  • Discover a wireless AP
  • Authenticate with AP
  • Associate with AP
500

What is W-ARP?

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
