Chapter 4 Flashcards
What two mechanisms can be used to monitor and manage the amount of traffic?
Shaping and policing
What two mechanisms assign packets to queues and determine how they are forwarded?
Classification and marking
What is tail drop?
A congestion avoidance mechanism that drops further incoming packets when the queue is full
What is Random Early Detection? (RED)
A congestion avoidance mechanism that drops packets before congestion occurs, the rate at which it drops packets depends on how much of the queue has filled
What congestion avoidance methods tacks packet priority into account when dropping packets?
Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED)
What QoS level prioritizes voice traffic?
Platinum
What does traffic shaping do?
Queues excess traffic
What modifies the QoS attributes of a packet?
Marking
What are two configurations that are required to enable SSH?
hostname
ip domain-name
crypto key
What serves as a password to protect access to MIB objects?
Community strings
What ports do syslog communicate on?
UDP 514, TCP 6514
What is syslog severity level 7?
Debugging
What is syslog severity level 6?
Information
What is syslog severity level 5?
Notifications
What is syslog severity level 4?
Warnings
What is syslog severity level 3?
Error
What is syslog severity level 2?
Critical
What is syslog severity level 1?
Alert
What is syslog severity level 0?
Emergency
How are incoming syslog server messages categorized?
Severity level, based on importance
What does the logging trap debug command do on a router?
Router will send all messages to the syslog server, you can specify a severity level and it will send that level and above
What might have happened if a notice level message was sent to a syslog server?
An interface line has changed status, a routing instance has flapped
How would you configure a syslog to receive error conditions?
logging trap 3
What is a syslog facility?
A numeric value that represent the processes that can generate a log message
