Is used to disable ports that erroneously receive BPDUs. BPDU guard is applied to edge ports in a switch when Portfast has been enabled. When BPDU guard is applied, a port that receives a BPDU (such as a switch) will be placed into the error-disable state. BPDU guard should be enabled when Portfast is enabled. BPDU guard should not be enabled on ports that connect to a switch. When in error state, run err disable recovery interval (interval), to enable on ports use spanning-tree portfast bpdugaurd default or on a specific ports use spanning-tree bpdugaurd enable
406
What is Loop Guard and how do you enable it?
Prevents non-designated ports from inadvertently forming bridging loops, when the port stops receiving BPDUs. Loopguard puts the port into the loop-inconsistent state.

Transmits network mask information for each route contained in their routing messages, these can support variable-length subnet masks (VLSMs)
492
List how distance-vector routing protocols work?
-Uses distance and direction to calculate routes to a destination -Routes to destinations are learned from routing table updates that are sent from neighboring routers -Distance-vector protocols can be classful like, RIPv1 or classless like RIPv2 and RIPng -Updates occur when topology change has been detected and are also periodically done -Includes full routing table of neighbor
493
What are the two susceptible problems with distance-vectoring routing protocols?
Counting to infinity and routing looping
494
How can you prevent routing loops?
Hold-down timers- Force a router to wait for a given interval of time before it sends routing updates about an inaccessible route to a neighbor. This gives time for the neighbor router to update with better results for a path before marking the path inaccessible Trigger updates- Are routing updates that are generated by a topology change and sends immediately to neighboring routers. Can be used in combination with hold-down timers Split horizon- A rule preventing information from being sent out the same interface on which it was received Poison reverse- Enables a router to send routing updates for unreachable networks back to the router from which the valid route originated, even if the split horizon is enabled Route poisoning- Enables a router to send an infinite metric to its neighbors when it is discovers that a link to one of the routers in its table has gone down
495
What are the main points of link-state routing protocols?
-updates are triggered by a topology change -they use less bandwidth than distance-vector protocols -they require more processor overhead than distance-vector protocols -they converge faster than distance-vector protocols -they require a hierarchical design for optimal scalability
496
What are link-state relationships?

497
What does LSA stand for?
Link-State Advertisements
498
What does LSDB stand for?
Link-State DataBase
499
How do link-state routes work?
-link-state routing protocols use Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm to determine the best path to a given destination -the best paths to a destination are stored in the routers routing table -LSA is sent by routers which contain information about the state of the interface in which the link is established, network address, and the devices that are connected to that interface
500
List what OSPF is?
Open Short Path First -is a IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) -is a link-state protocol -is a classless -is a open standard -OSPFv2 is for OSPF over IPv4 networks -OSPFv3 is for OSPF over ipv6
501
What are some of the characteristics of OSPF?
-sends Hello packets to form adjacencies -OSPF flood LSA to every router in a area, not the entire network -LSAs are refreshed into network every 30 seconds or when a topology change has occurred and only sends updated information -uses SPF (Shortest Path First using the Dijkstra algorithm) to discover the best possible path to a destination -uses cost as a metric
502
What is Dijkstra algorithm?
It is also known as the SPF algorithm used in OSPF and calculates the best path to a destination. Uses cost as a metric to determine the best route. The route with the lowest cost is the best route. By default, the cost is determined by the bandwidth of the link, the higher the bandwidth the lower the cost
503

These are typically found on Ethernet networks. Broadcast interfaces can find OSPF neighbors automatically. Router elections for designated routers (DR) and backup designated routers (BDR) are performed on broadcast networks
509
What does OSPF interface type NBMA do?
-Does not support broadcasts but does support multiple devices being connected to a network. -Frame Relay serial interfaces are NBMA interfaces. -OSPF neighbors relationships must be established manually on NBMA networks. -Router elections for DR and BDR are performed on NBMA networks. -Note that the DR and the BDR need to have full connectivity with the other routers on the NBMA network.
510
What does OSPF interface type Point-to-Point (PPP) do?

513
What are OSPF areas?
OSPF can segment an entire AS (autonomous system) which is a group of networks that share a single routing method and operate under a single administrative organization, into a hierarchy. The routers in a specific area calculate routes only for that area. To enble communication between different areas in a AS, you must configure a backbone area, which is an OSPF area that must ne connected to every other area in the AS. The backbone area will always be configured as area 0.
514
What are nonbackbone areas in a OSPF configuration?
Also known as normal areas, these areas typically contain end users and should not posses no more than 50 OSPF routers. Each normal area must be directly connected to the backbone area because the backbone area is responsible for sending traffic from one area to another area.
515
What are the different areas in a OSPF configuration in regards to what the direction of the interfaces are facing?
single-area - when all of its interfaces that participate in OSPF routing are configured to operate in one area Multiarea- is when a router is configured when its interfaces are operating in two different areas

518
What does a OSPF router designation of ABRs do?
A router that connects to multiple OSPF areas within the same AS is known as an area border router (ABR). Typically, an ABR connects to a single normal area and the backbone area. An ABR is always a multiarea router and can route traffic between areas to which it is connected to. ABRs maintains a seperate LSBD for each of the areas to which they connected
519
What does a OSPF router with a designation of backbone do?
Its a router that has an interface within the backbone area
520
What does a OSPF router with a designation of nonbackbone do?
Is a single-area router that is entirely within a nonbackbone area. A nonbackbone router maintains a LSBD for only the area in which it is contained. Nonbackbone routers can receive default routes from ABRs and use those default routes to forward packets that are destined for other areas to the ABR. A router that exists entirely within a single OSPF area is also known as an internal router
521
What are the things to remember about OSPF router IDs?
-OSPF router IDs uniquely identify each router on the network -OSPF router IDs can be manually configured or automatically assigned by the router -If the router is not manually configured it will use highest loopback IP address -If no loopback interfaces exists, the router will use the highest physical interface IP address

What is Init neighbor state?
Indicates that the neighbor routers received a Hello packet from the local router and that the Hello packet does not contain the neighbors router ID. Therefore, two-communication has not yet been established between the local router and the neighbor
529
What are the OSPF Adjacency caveats?
-neighbors must be explicity defined on a partially meshed NBMA network -In a hub-n-spoke NBMA topology -the hub router should be manually configered as the DR -The ip ospf priority 0 command should be issued to to disable DR election on spoke router interfaces IP MTU values must match on each interface sharing a network segment

614
What are the phases in a DHCP process?
DHCP Discover DHCP Offer DHCP Request DHCP Acknowledgement
615
What does the DHCP Discover phase do?
A DHCP will broadcast a DHCPDISCOVER packet to locate a DHCP server. If one exists the DHCP server will respond with a DHCPOFFER packet. If no DHCP server can be located, the client will assign itself a Automatic Private IP Address (APIPA) in a range of 169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255
616
What does the DHCP Offer phase do?
A DHCPOFFER packet is a unicast packet that contains IP configuration information, such as the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses that the client should use. The client will typically accept the first DHCPOFFER packet it receives and will respond with a DHCPREQUEST packet
617
What does the DHCP Request phase do?
A DHCPREQUEST phrase is a broadcast packet that formally request the IP address from the DHCP server. The DHCPREQUEST packet is broadcast from the DHCP client to the entire network rather than the unicast to the specific DHCP server so that the other DHCP servers can re-allocate the IP addresses they offered to the DHCP client. A DHCPDECLINE packet is opposite of a DHCPREQUEST packet. A DHCPDECLINE packet is a broadcast packet that a DHCP client sends to formally reject the DHCPOFFER from a DHCP server
618
What does the DHCP Acknowledgement phase do?
When a DHCP server receives a DHCPREQUEST packet from a client and the IP address is still available for the client to use, the server will send a DHCPACK packet. A DHCPACK is a unicast pack that confirms that the IP address has been officially assigned to the client for the duration of the lease. A DHCPNAK packet is opposite of a DHCPNAK packet. A DHCPNAK packet informs the DHCP client that the IP address in the DHCPREQUEST is no longer valid for the client to use.
619
How do you configure a DHCP server?
(config)#interface (type and port number) (config-if)#ip address dhcp ip helper-address (address of the dhcp server)

643
What are the three methods of NAT address translation?
One-to-one mappings Many-to-many mappings Many-to-one mappings
644
What is one-to-one NAT translation?
Is referred as static NAT. If a host on the inside network attempts to access a host on the outside network and no mapping exists for the internal host, then all traffic from the internal host will be dropped by the NAT router. Static NAT mappings do not expire
645
How does Dynamic NAT work?
If a host on the inside network attempts to access a host on the outside network and no address mapping exists for the internal host, then all traffic from the internal host will not be dropped by the NAT router. Instead, an available address is allocated from the address pool and a new mapping is created. If there are no addressing available in the IP address pool, no mapping will be created and all traffic from the inside host will be discarded until an address becomes available. Because each mapping is dynamically created NAT mappings expire after a specified time of inactivity

What does the Fabric layer do in a SDN?
Is the combination of an underlay network and an overlay network/ Is managed through a controller. Relies on five fabric nodes: Control plane node- manages host tracking database (HTDB) which is used to map EID's (endpoint identification) to RLOC's (Routing locators) Edge nodes- connect end point devices to the SDA fabric and function as anycast layer 3 gateways Intermediate node- Are layer 3 transport devices within the underlay network capable of supporting VXLAN traffic. WLC node- resides outside the SDA fabric and provides wireless connectivity to endpoints connected to lightweight AP that are attached to edge nodes
804
What are Northbound API's?
Sometimes called northbound interfaces (NBIs). Northbound APIs provide an interface for an SDN or Cisco SDA controller to communicate with the application plane. Applications use northbound APIs to send requests or instructions to a controller, which uses that information to modify and manage network flow.
805
What is REST API?
Is a stateless method of creating, updating, modifying, and deleting information by using HTTP server. REST APIs relies on HTTP verbs to communicate with backened applications
806
What does CRUD stand for and what is it?
Create, Read, Update, Delete Represents the four basic functions of an application. Is implemented by using HTTP in the REST API
807
What are the HTTP verbs?
GET- equivalent to read defined by CRUD. Is used by browsers to retrieve information POST- equivalent to create as defined by CRUD PATCH- equivalent to update defined by CRUD PUT- is equivalent to the update action by CRUD DELETE- equivalent to delete action as defined by CRUD
808
What are southbound APIs?
Are sometimes referred to as SBIs Enable an SDN or Cisco SDA controller to communicate with edge devices or devices in the data plane Sum common southbound APIs are NETCONF, RESTCONF, OnePK, OpenFlow, and OpFlex
809
What is NETCONF?
Is a southbound API that is intended to replace SNMP Relies on Yet Another Next Generation (YANG) data modeling to communicate with network applications Uses YANG to replace SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) Encodes output in either XML or JASON format
810
What is RESTCONF?
Is defined by RFC 8040, is intended to replace SNMP in controller-based networks and can also be used to interact with YANG data models. Uses HTTPS verbs for its operations and can encode either XML or JASON
811
What is Puppet?
A configuration management tool, is the most mature and widely used. Operates in Linux UNIX-like systems, and Microsoft Windows. Is written in Ruby or by Ruby like puppet language. Puppet uses a client/server architecture. Managed nodes that are running the Puppet agent application can receive configurations from a primary server running Puppet Server. Uses HTTPS port 8140
812
What is Chef?
Operates in Linux, UNIX-like stsems, and microsfot windows. Can use client/server architecture or as a stand alone client configuration. Uses HTTPS port 443 Information is stored in cookbooks that are written in Ruby and stored on a Chef server. Standalone clients can pull cookbooks locally or from tar.gz archive on the internet
813
What is Ansible?
Operates in Linux, UNIX-like systems, and Microsoft Windows. Is not an agent software, usually referred as a agentless automation tool, is written in Python Ansible configurations are stored in Playbooks written in YAML Aint Markup Language (YAML). Managed Nodes can be download scripted modules from Ansible Server by using SSH on a standard SSH port on Port 22
814
What are the less frequently used management mechanisms?
Puppet Bolt- Is different from Puppet. It is a agentless automation tool. Uses SSH or Windows Remote Management (WinRM) to connect to devices for configuration management. Is a open source written in Ruby and can be run on Linux, UNIX-like systems and Windows Salt- Agent based automation tool written in Python. Can be run on Linux, UNIX-like systems, and Windows. Uses client/server architecture by installing Salt Master software on the server and Salt Minion software on managed nodes. Masters and Minions communicate by using ZeroMQ. Salt SSH- Is a deployment of Salt without using Salt Minion software. Is much slower than ZeroMQ. Configurature information is stored primarily in state models that are typically written in YAML but can be also written in Python Domian Specific Language (PyPSL) for complex configuration scripts
815
Which of the following hardware devices is least likely to be a component of a traditional network? A central controller A layer 3 switch A layer 2 switch A router
A central controller
816
Which of the following configuration management mechanisms never relies on a client/server architecture? Ansible Chef Puppet SNMP
Ansible
817
Which of the following HTTP verbs creates but does not replace data on a server? GET POST PUT PATCH DELETE
POST
818
How do you configure PVST+?
To enable: spanning-tree mode pvst To confirm: show spanning-tree show running-config
819
Which routing configuration command sets an interface into transmit and receive mode for that particular routing protocol language?
Network
