Q

How do switches change their MAC table entries for the HSRP Virtual MAC?

Q

How does the SNMP Manager / NMS retrieve information from the Agents?

A

It polls them using SNMP get messages to retrieve information from their MIBs

  • SNMP Get
  • SNMP GetNext
  • SNMP GetBulk

16
Q

How can the NMS change configurations on an agent?

A

Sending SNMP Set messages

17
Q

How can SNMP Agents initiate communications to the NMS?

A

Using notifications messages such as SNMP Trap and Inform.

SNMP Agents can use Trap or Inform messages to list the state of certain MIB variables when those variables reach a certain state e.g. this interface is down

18
Q

How are SNMP Trap and Inform messages different?

A

Traps

  • Fire and forget
  • UDP, no guarantee of delivery or error recovery

Inform

  • SNMPv2 and up
  • UDP but add application layer reliability
  • NMS must acknowledge receipt with SNMP Response message
19
Q

What is an OID?

A

ObjectID that defines each variable in the MIB

20
Q

What is Cisco Prime?

A

NMS Application (SNMP Manager)

21
Q

What is the IFS?

A

IO File System

22
Q

What two entries typically denote physical storage on routers?

A

disk

usbflash

23
Q

True/False: Routers can boot IOS from USB flash drives

A

False

24
Q

What commands could you use to show flash memory content?

A

show flash

dir flash0:

25
Q

How do you verify the integrity of an IOS image using MD5?

A

verify /md5 flash0:img.bin {hash}

26
Q

How would you copy an IOS image from an FTP server to the router?

A

copy ftp://user:pass@ipaddress/imgpath flash

27
Q

How would you configure a username and password to be automatically used for FTP connections?

A

ip ftp username kboyle

ip ftp password pass123

28
Q

What Transport layer protocol does regular FTP use?

A

TCP

29
Q

What Transport layer protocol does TFTP use?

A

UDP

30
Q

How does TFTP check file integrity for transfers given it uses UDP?

A

It has a feature for checksum integrity checking

31
Q

What ports does FTP use?

A

Port 21 and sometimes 20

32
Q

How does FTP active mode work and when does it work well?

A

The Client notifies the server of a port that it is listening on for the server to connect to it (PORT command)

Works best when in the same network and not traversing firewalls or out to external FTP servers

33
Q

How does FTP passive mode work?

A

The Client connections to the server using (PASV), server responds telling the client to connect to it on a random dynamic port it chooses (PORT)

34
Q

What is FTPS?

A

FTP over TLS

Encrypts both the control and data connections

35
Q

What is the differences between SFTP and FTPS?

A

SFTP is FTP over SSH

36
Q

What port does TFTP use?

A

UDP port 69

37
Q

What two features can TFTP do?

A

Only get and put files

38
Q

True/False: TFTP has no auth

A

True
