Q

The two main responsibilities of IP are?

A

Providing connection less, best effort delivery of packets through an internetwork based on logically assigned addresses; and providing fragmentation and reassembly of packets to support data links with different maximum-transmission unit MTU sizes

Q

Another protocol that works between the data-link and network layers is called?

A

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

24
Q

The process of mapping IP network addresses to Media Access Control addresses.

A

Address Resolution Protocol

25
Q

Another protocol that enables network devices to learn the MAC and network layer addresses of other network devices.

A

Hello Protocol

26
Q

Are sent at specific intervals to act as keep-alives to ensure a connected router is still functional.

A

Hello Protocols

27
Q

A network layer Internet management protocol that provides message packets to report errors and other information regarding IP packet processing back to the source

A

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)

28
Q

ICMP generates several kinds of useful messages, including Destination Unreachable, time exceeded, router advertisement, router solicitation, Echo Request and Echo Reply

A

PING

29
Q

Are network-layer protocols that are responsible for path determination and packet switching.

A

Routing Protocols

30
Q

Implement routing algorithms to build and maintain routing tables.

A

Routing Protocols

31
Q

Examples of Routing Protocols

A

RIP, IGRP, OSPF, EGIRP, and BGP

32
Q

True or False

Routers do not monitor whether the packets get to their final destination.

A

False

This is the responsibility of ICMP

33
Q

Refers specifically to a device that performs application-layer protocol translation between devices.

A

Gateways

34
Q

Defined as a collection of networks under a common administration that share a common routing strategy.

A

Autonomous Systems (AS)

35
Q

Are used for information exchange without autonomous systems and use a variety of Interior Gateway Protocols to accomplish this purpose.

A

Interior Gateway

36
Q

Routers move information between autonomous systems, a border gateway is an example of this.

A

Exterior Gateway

37
Q

Defined as an IP address on a layer 3 network device that serves as an access point to for form a network.

A

Default Gateway

38
Q

The act of moving information across a packet switching internetwork for a source destination and involves two basic activities: determining optimal routing paths and transporting data packets.

A

Routing

39
Q

Two main functions of a router are?

A

Path Determination and Packet Switching

40
Q

For a router to perform its two major functions it must have what?

A
  • A destination address from the layer 3 packet header
  • Routing sources it can learn from (neighbors)
  • A list of all possible routes to destination networks
  • The ability to calculate and select the best routes using various metrics and algorithms
  • Process to build, maintain, and verify its routing information through router communication messages.
41
Q

Using information to determine the best, most efficient paths from available paths to known destination network.

A

Path Determination

42
Q

The router uses the Routing Table to best decide how and where to forward packets across the internetwork.

A

Path Determination

43
Q

Are a standard of measurement, such as path length, that is used by routing algorithms to determine the optimal path to the destination.

A

Routing Metrics

44
Q

Initialize and maintain routing tables.

A

Routing Algorithms

45
Q

Are electronic tables or databases containing updated information about available networks.

A

Routing Tables

46
Q

Routers communicate with one another as part of?

A

Path Determination

47
Q

Sending a whole table to all directly connected neighbor routers.

A

Broadcast (routing update message)

48
Q

A message sent between routers throughout the network to inform other routers of the State of the Senders Link?

A

Multicast (Link state Advertisement)

49
Q

A host determines that it must send a packet to another host, the hosts sends a packet addressed specifically to a routers physical MAC address in the layer two header

A

Packet Switching

50
Q

Routers have the ability to discard packets which fall under?

A

Destruction of packets

51
Q

Name the external components of a Router

A

Console Port, Auxiliary Port, and Network Interfaces

52
Q

This port allows you to configure the router locally by providing direct access to the router using a computer running terminal emulation software.

A

Console Port

53
Q

Allows you to configure the router remotely using a modem. This port must be configured before you can use it.

A

Auxiliary Port

54
Q

A router can be configured over any of its?

A

Network Interfaces

55
Q

This is where the diagnostic and boot up routines are stored

A

ROM

56
Q

Manufacture memory thats holds the internetwork operating systems (IOS)

A

Flash

57
Q

Used to store the startup-configuration file
