Q

What are the three main objectives of TCP Reliability?

A
  1. Detection and Retransmission of dropped packets.
  2. Detection and remediation of duplicate or out-of-order packets.
  3. Avoidance of congestion in the network.

Size: 3 bits

24
Q

Purpose and Size of the Flags field on a TCP Header?

A

Purpose: These are control bits
Size: 9 bits.

25
List the nine different Flags in the Flag field of a TCP Header.
1. Nonce Sum (NS) 2. Congestion Windows Reduced (CWR) 3. Explicit Congestion Notification Echo (ECE) 4. Urgent (URG) 5. Acknowledgment (ACK) 6. Push (PSH) 7. Reset (RST) 8. Synchronize (SYN) 9. Finish (FIN)
26
Purpose and Size of the "Window Size" field on a TCP Header?
Purpose: Allows the receiving computer to advertise how much data it can receive before having to drop packets. Used for Flow Control. Size: 16 bits.
27
Purpose and Size of the Checksum field on a TCP Header?
Purpose: Error Checking Size: 16 bits
28
Purpose and Size of the "Urgent Pointer" field on a TCP Header?
Purpose: If the URG flag is set, this field is an offset from the sequence number indicating the last urgent data byte. Size: 16 bits
29
what determines the size of the Options field on a TCP Header?
The data offset field.
30
What is the purpose of the Data field in a TCP Header
Contains the Upper-Layer protocol data.

42
Define DNS
Domain Name System
43
This command queries DNS to resolve the domain name into IP address.
nslookup
44
Define DHCP

45
Three basic DHCP IPv4 allocation mechanisms
1. Dynamic Allocation. 2. Automatic Allocation. 3. Static Allocation.
46
Four Steps in Dynamically allocating an IPv4 address using DHCP
1. Discover. 2. Offer. 3. Request. 4. Acknowledge.
47
Command to configure a Router as a DHCP Client.
Router(config-if)# ip address dhcp
48
Command to verify that a router interface has aquired an IPv4 address through DHCP.
Router# show ip interface brief
49
Command to configure a router for DHCP Relay
Router(config-if)# ip helper-address 10.0.0.1
50
Command to enter the DHCP pool configuration mode.
Router(config)# ip dhcp pool (Name you're assigning to the pool).
51
Command that displays a list of all IPv4 address-to-MAC bindings
Router# show ip dhcp binding
52
Command to verify information about the configured DHCP address pools.
Router# show ip dhcp pool
53
