Internet Layer

A
  • aka Networking
  • provides networking services and includes protocols that allow for the transmission of information through multiple hops
  • each “hop device” knows how to reach the destination IP address and transmit the information to the next best node to reach the destination
  • Packets

Q

Transport Layer

A
  • when transmitting information, the sending host knows when the information is sent, but has no way to know whether it actually made it to the destination
  • so, Transport Layer provides services to successfully transfer information between two end-to-end process
  • detects whether any information went missing
  • provides information about which type of information is being transmitted
  • Segments

Q

How does the Transport Layer distinguish between separate transactions, such as requesting a web page and starting an FTP transaction?

A
  • the Transport Layer helps to separate the two requests by using the concept of a Transport Layer PORT
  • port 80 for web request
  • port 21 for an FTP transaction
  • this service is called MULTIPLEXING

Q

TCP/IP Model Encapsulation

A
  • each layer provides services for the level above it
  • protocols at each layer include a protocol header
  • the header includes enough information for the protocol to work toward the delivery of the information
  • this process is called ENCAPSULATION

Q

DNS Resolution

A

Step 1: Host A sends a recursive DNS query for a type A record to resolve www.cisco.com to its own DNS server (DNS A)
Step 2: DNS A server checks its DNS cache, but does not find the information. So, it sends an iterative DNS query to the root DNS server, which is authoritative for all of the Internet
Step 3: The root DNS server is not authoritative for that host, so it sends back a referral to the .com DNS server, which is authoritative server for the .com domain.
Step 4: The .com DNS server performs a similar process and sends a referral to the cisco.com DNS server
Step 5: The cisco.com DNS server is the DNS authoritative server for www.cisco.com so it can reply to DNS A with the information
Step 6: DNS A receives the information and stores it in its DNS cache for future use.
Step 7: Host A receives the information from DNS A and can start sending packets to www.cisco.com using the correct IP address.

Q

TCP Three-way Handshake

A
  • First Packet (SYN): the client starts process of establishing a connection by sending a TCP segment that has the SYN bit set to 1. The client sends its initial sequence number X (random number chosen by client)
  • Second Packet (SYN-ACK): the server responds with a SYN-ACK packet where it sends its own request for synchronization and its initial sequence number Y. Within the same packet, the server also sends the acknowledgment number X+1 (acknowledging the receipt of a packet with sequence number X, and requesting the next packet with sequence number X+1)
  • Third Packet (ACK): the client responds with a final acknowledgment, requesting the next packet with the sequence number Y+1

Q

What are the steps of TCP/IP Model Encapsulation for a host requesting a web page using HTTP?

A
  1. Host requests a web page using the HTTP application layer protocol. The HTTP application generates the DATA payload.
  2. HTTP DATA payload send to the transport layer and a TCP header is created. The DATA payload and TCP header result in the TCP segment.
  3. The Internet layer receives the TCP information, attaches an IP header, and encapsulates it in an IP Packet.
  4. The IP packet is passed to the Data Link layer. An Ethernet header and trailer, and then transmits the Frame to the NIC, which will take care of the physical transmission of the frame.

Q

VTP

A
  • VLAN Trunking Protocol
  • Cisco proprietary protocol used to manage VLAN distribution across switches
  • Used to distributed information about existing VLANs to all switches in a VTP domain so that VLANs do not have to be manually configured (reducing admin burden)
  • Not to be confused with protocols that actually handle the tagging of frames with VLAN information (dot1Q)
  • VTP relies on 802.1Q to transmit information
67
Q

What are the 3 modes of VTP?

A
  • Server mode
  • Client mode
  • Transparent mode
68
Q

Server Mode

A
  • allows the administrator to configure a remote VLAN

- VTP will take care of distributing the information to other switches in the VTP domain

69
Q

Client Mode

A
  • a switch receives updates about a VLAN and advertises the VLAN configured already
  • however, a VLAN cannot be added or removed
70
Q

Transparent Mode

A
  • the switch does not participate in VTP, so it does not perform a VLAN database update and does not generate VTP advertisement
  • However, it forwards VTP advertisements from other switches

A
  • half-duplex

- stations are not able to transmit and receive at the same time due to the limitation of the medium

79
Q

Under the WLAN standard, how do stations determine if other stations are transmitting currently?

A
  • CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Media Access with Collision Avoidance)
80
Q

What is the difference between CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA

A
  • CSMA/CA does not allow WLAN stations to detect a collision
81
Q

BSS

A
  • Basic Service Set
  • Used by the IEEE 802.11 standard (WLAN)
  • identifies a set of devices that share common parameters and can communicate through a wireless connection.

A
  • used by a client to discover DHCP servers w/in a LAN
102
Q

DHCPOFFER

A
  • sent by a DHCP server to a client
  • includes a proposed IP address, called YIADDR, and a network mask
  • aka SIADDR
103
Q

DHCPREQUEST

A
  • sent from the client to the broadcast network
  • used to confirm the offer from a particular server
  • includes the SIADDR of the DHCP server
  • broadcasted to the entire network
104
Q

DHCPRELEASE

A
  • sent from the client to the server to release the allocation of an IP address and to end the lease
105
Q

What is the 4 step DHCP process

A
  1. Host sends DHCPDISCOVERY packet to discover the DHCP servers within the LAN
  2. Each DHCP server responds with DHCPOFFER message
  3. The client receives several offers, picks one of them, and responds with a DHCPREQUEST
  4. The DHCP server that has been selected responds to the client to confirm the leasing of the IP address
106
Q

IGP

A

Interior Gateway Protocol (operates w/in organizational boundaries)

  • Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
  • Intermediate System to Intermediate System (ISIS)
  • Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
  • Routing Information Protocol V.2 (RIPv2)
107
Q

EGP

A

Exterior Gateway Protocol (operates between service providers)
- Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

108
Q

DV

A
  • Distance Vector
  • one of the first algorithms used for exchanging routing information
  • based on Bellman-Ford algorithm
  • most well-known is RIPv2
109
Q

Neighbors

A
  • Term used in DV

- two routers or Layer 3 devices that are directly connected

110
Q

Hop Count

A
  • Term used in DV

- number that represents the distance (number of routers) between a router and a specific network

111
Q

What are some issues with using DV?

A
  • Using hop count as the cost to determine the best path to a destination is not the best method
  • Routers do not have full visibility into the network topology
  • Each update includes the exchange of the full list of networks and costs, which can consume bandwidth
  • It is not loop free
112
Q

How has Cisco overcome the shortcomings of DV?

A
  • Introduced advanced distance vector, or hybrid protocols

- Such as EIGRP

113
Q

What are the main enhancements of EIGRP over DV?

A
  • they do not use hop counts as metrics to determine the best path to a network
  • full database updates are only sent at initialization
  • partial updates are sent in the event of topology changes
  • include more robust methods to prevent loops and reduce convergence times
114
Q

What is an example of how EIGRP prevents loops and reduces convergence time?

A
  • EIGRP routers maintain a partial topology table and include an algorithm called Diffused Update Algorithm (DUAL) which is used to calculate the best path to a destination and provides a mechanism to avoid loops
115
Q

Link-State

A
  • Link-state algorithms operate in a totally different way than DV
  • devices using Link-State have full view of the network topology
  • this allows devices to use algorithms such as Dijkstra or Shortest Path First (SPF) to calculate the best path to each network
  • examples include OSPF and IS-IS
  • Higher the bandwidth the lower the cost
  • During the initiation phase, each router will send a link-state advertisement (LSA) to neighbors, which will in turn forward to all other neighbors
  • Routers can then use SPF algorithm to calculate the best way to reach each network
  • Once this is done, the information is added to the router’s routing table
116
Q

What are advantages of a Link-State algorithm?

A
  • a better way to calculate the cost to a destination
  • less protocol overhead compared to DV because updates do not require sending the full topology
  • better best-path calculation because each router has a full view of the full topology
  • loop-free
117
Q

Administrative Distance

A
  • used to determine the precedence based on the way the router has learned about a specific network

ICMP

A
  • Internet Control Message Protocol
  • main purpose is to provide a way to communicate that an error occurred during the routing of IP packets
  • encapsulated directly within the IP payload
  • An IP packet transporting an ICMP message in its payload sets the Protocol field in the header to 1
  • An ICMP packet starts with an ICMP header that always includes the Type and Code fields of the ICMP message, which define what the message is used for
