29
How many routers can a router make neighborships with in the DROTHER state for OSPF?
Only with the DR and BDR
30
How can you tell if routers are connected are on point-to-point / point-to-multipoint network in OSP?
There is no DR/BDR in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint OSPF networks.
31
OSPF hello/dead timers
If hello/dead timers dont match then neighborship will not establish
Ethernet link Hello: 10/40
Point-to-Point link Hello: 10/40
Point-to-Multipoint link: 10/40
Non-broadcast Link Hello: 30/120
32
What is ARP Poisoning and how to stop
Attacker sends gratutious ARP to host
Associates attackers MAC with the IP of valid host
Traffic will go through the attackers pc
to stop - implement DAI
33
What is VLAN Hopping and how stop it
Attacker injects packets into other VLANs by accessing VLAN Trunks and double tagging 802.1Q Frames
if successful - allows attacker to send traffic to other VLANs w/o router
To prevent - disable DTP on trunk ports, change the native VLAN and config user-facing ports as access
34
What is MAC spoofing and how to stop it
Attacker uses MAC of another host to bypass port security methods
Also can impersonate another host
Implement port security with sticky secure MAC addresses
35
MAC Flooding and how to stop
Attacker generates forged frames every minute to overwhelm MAC addy table
Then cant make forwarding decisions and all traffic flooded
Attacker can see all data
To stop - add port security to limit MAC addys to be learned on interface
36
What is DHCP spoofing and how to stop
install rogue DHCP server to intercept DHCP req
respond with own IP as default gateway and can see everything
to fix - enable DHCP snooping
37
What is DAI and how implement
Mitigates ARP poisoning attacks (or ARP Spoofing attacks)
DAI inspects traffic on ingress ports to ensure incoming traffic doesn't contain ARP replies from HOST computers
Supported on: Access Ports, Trunk Ports, EtherChannel Ports, Private Virtual LAN Ports
Enabled on single or multiple VLANs
Configuration:
conf t
ip arp inspection vlan [vlans]
CANNOT put DAI on interfaces - ONLY globally
38
What is Port Security and how to implement
Allows traffic into switchport from Authorized MAC
If not authorized is discarded and sometimes that port will be disabled
Enabled on interface level
By default - only allows ONE MAC
Can do a few different ways:
switchport port-security (allows 1 MAC)
switchport port-security mac-address [MAC addy] - for specific MAC
switchport port-security maximum [number] - max number of MACs to learn dynamically from the interface
switchport port-security mac-address sticky - dynamically learned MACs will be saved when switch restarts
By default when violation occurs it will be shutdown
39
Port-security violations
If port-security violation occurs - by default interface will go into err-disable
Reenable by shut/no shut
OR
errdisable recovery cause psecure-violation
CAN change so doesnt disable with:
switchport port-security violation restrict - this will send counter to increment and send SNMP trap notificiation
40
NTP static client mode
NTP static client mode is the default
The client will get time from an NTP server
ntp server [ip address of the NTP server]
41
NTP broadcast client mode

What is FIB
Forwarding Information Base
All prefixes from IP routing table structured in way optimized for forwarding
The FIB and Adjacency table are 2 main componets of Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)
Is synced with IP routing table
IP prefixes ordered so when L3 addy compared to FIB - longest most specific match found fist - makes faster
101
What is the adjacency table?
maintains L2 addressing info for FIB
each network prefix in FIB assoc with next-hop addy and OB interface
102
IPSec
Provides data confidentiality, data integrity and origin authentication
Uses ESP for confidentiality - encrypts entire IP packet and encapsulates it
Uses AH to ensure integrity of packet and to authenticate packet
AH verifies that the source addy in packet not modified - does NOT authenticate the identity of IPSec peer
GRE handles lots protocols but not secure - IPSec only does IP but highly securte
Package togehther with GRE over IPSec.
103
GRE
Generic Routing Encapsulation
Provides broadcast and multicast packet encapsulation
Cisco Proprietary
Can tunnel info from one network to another w/o requiring transport security to support the network protocols in use at tunnel source/destination
Can transport many different protocols - limited in security
Combine GRE with IPSec
104

RSTP
Includes Portfast, Uplink Fast, Backbone Fast
105
802.1D
Traditional STP
106
802.1s
Multiple STP
Creates multiple STP on network
107
Difference btw PortFast, Uplink Fast and Backbone Fast
Portfast puts port to immediately in forwarding state
Uplink Fast - increases convergence speed for access layer that detects failure on root port with backup root port selection by immediately replacing rootport with aternative root port
Backbone Fast - increase for switches that detect failure on links that are not directly connected to switches
108
What is BDPU Loop guard
Prevents non-designated ports from inadvertantly forming bridging loops if the steady flow of BDPUs is inturupted
If port stops getting BDPUs it goes into loop-inconsistant phase and blocks
Once gets BDPUs again it reenables the port and goes through the normal STP states
To enable globally: spanning-tree loopguard default
Or on port: spanning-tree guard loop
109
110
How GRE over IPSec works
Sending dev combines session key w/ data
Uses session key to encrypt key and data
Sending dev encapsulates data and key into packet with VPN header and new IP header
Send dev
