What is
FF02::1, FF02::2, FF02::5, FF02::6, FF02::9, FF02::A?
Link-Local Multicast IPv6 addresses
• FF02::1 = group that all nodes (a.k.a. = all hosts) must join (like an IPv4 broadcast)
• FF02::2 = group that all IPv6 routers must join
• FF02::5 = group that all IPv6 OSPF routers must join
• FF02::6 = group that all IPv6 OSPF DR’s must join
• FF02::9 = group that all IPv6 RIP routers must join (except RIPv1)
• FF02::A = group that all IPv6 EIGRP routers must join
The full unabbreviated IPv6 address read as FF:02:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
OSPF Metric Cost for:
Ethernet – Fast Ethernet – Gigabit – 10Gigabit?
OSPF Metric is determined based on the bandwidth of an interface vs the reference bandwidth
Cost = reference bandwidth / interface bandwidth
The default reference bandwidth for OSPF is 100mbps
OSPF rounds up from 0 to 1, since most of today’s technologies are over 100mbps, it results in a table like below:
………………………….Ethernet….FastEthernet….Gigabit….10Gigabit
Default Metric = …….10 ………………..1…………………1……………1
Should be = …………1,000…………….100……………..10…………..1
auto-cost reference-bandwidth xx-xx
is the cli to change the OSPF defaults
ip ospf cost
cli will allow you to manually configure an OSPF metric per interface
What is 01-00-5E-… ?
part of an IPV6 virtual MAC address for Multicast
Tables:
CAM vs MAC
A “MAC table” tells you what data the table holds, in this case MAC addresses
A “CAM table” tells you what is the technical nature of this table - (content-addressable memory), or a cache, that performs parallel and fast lookups
So, the MAC table refers to the content while the CAM table refers to the organization and principle of operation
A CAM table may hold many different kinds of data
FIB vs ARP
FIB = is a layer 3 construct - contains an optimized list of all prefixes from the IP routing table
The ARP table is a layer 3 function used to map (L2)MAC addresses to (L3)IP addresses
If no ARP entry exists, an ARP broadcast is sent out, and the table is updated with the response
NORTHBOUND API’s (NBI)?
List API’s & language written in or model of delivery
REST (XML or JSON) [HTTP]
OSGi (Java)
SOUTHBOUND API’s (SBI)?
List API’s & language written in or model of delivery
NETCONF (XML or RPC) Relies on SSH for transport
OnePK (Cisco-Java or C or Python) Cisco Proprietary
OpenFlow (Python) Uses imperative SDN model - sends specific instructions manages network and polices directly
OpFlex (XML or JSON) Uses declarative SDN model - vague instructions allow device to make decisions how to implement instructions
Where does the Management Plane reside?
The Management Plan is a logical subset of the Control Plane
Any management traffic for the local device (such as SSH) is part of the management plane
- *** Application Plane **
- *** Control Plane (Management Plane) **
- *** Data Plane **
What does default-information originate do?
The cli
default-information originate
will cause the router to injects its own default route into the OSPF routing table as an external route, thereby advertising its default route to neighboring routers
It will also automatically become an (ASBR) Autonomous System Boundary Router
default-information originate notwithstanding, if the cli command
redistribute
is entered, it will also become an ASBR
What is DAI?
Dynamic Arp Inspection - is a security feature that validates Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets in a network. DAI allows a network administrator to intercept, log, and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address to IP address bindings
Mitigates attacks knowns as ARP spoofing or ARP poisoning attack
Unique local unicast always begins with?
Unique global unicast always begins with?
Unique local unicast =
FC or FD because the first 7 bits of their address are always 111111xx (ie…11111100 or 11111101)
Unique global unicast =
always begin with a 2 or 3 (ie… 2000::/3)
What does static client mode mean?
A static client receives its time from a (one) specific NTP server. The cli command on the client is
ntp server {+ the IP - address of the NTP server}
What is BPDU Guard?
BPDU guard protects access ports with PortFast and BPDU guard from accepting a Bridge Protocol Data Unit - upon receiving BPDUs a port with BPDU guard enabled will place that port in an error-disabled state - this Spanning Tree preventing loops
BPDU guard should be enabled on all ports that have PortFast enabled
A port shutdown by BPDU guard must be manually re-enabled, unless the cli errdisable recovery cause bpduguard and the errdisable recovery interval {time} commands have been run against the port
What is Root Guard?
Root Guard prevents and a root from accepting a superior BPDU (preventing it from losing an election and therefore maintaining the Root Bridge status). Basically, this prevents newly installed switches (that might incidentally have a lower priority) from being elected the root
Root Guard is applied per port (not globally) and inverts the syntax of the naming convention, the cli command is therefore
spanning-tree guard root
Thanks for that, Cisco!
What is the difference between the: * AP-Manager Interface (what protocol?) * Management Interface (what protocol?) * Service port Interface on a WLC?
The AP-manager is for Layer 3 communication between WLC and AP’s using - CAPWAP’s two tunnel protocol (it’s not a physical port)
The Management interface is Layer 2 communication between WLC and AP’s, as well as other WLC’s using - LightWeight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) (also not a physical port)
The Service port interface is used for maintenance purposes of the WLC itself (it IS a physical port)
Syslog error mnemonic?
Every / Awesome / Cisco / Engineer / Will / Need / Ice-Cream / Daily
Emergency-0 / Alerts-1 / Critical-2 / Error-3 /
Warning-4 / Notification-5 / Informational-6 / Debug-7
What is APIC?
What are the 3 main reasons it’s used?
This is SDN (Software-Defined Networking)
APIC is Cisco’s Application Policy Infrastructure Controller. Basically, Cisco’s naming convention for its version of ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure)
It’s the main architectural component and unified point of automation and management for the Cisco ACI fabric for:
Health monitoring
Optimizes performance and agility
Policy enforcement
(HOP)
What is WDS?
WDS - Wireless Domain Services - is a component used in Cisco’s Autonomous WLAN solution - it’s a feature that is installed on AP’s to enable interaction with WLSE
(like client software for the WLSE)
AAA?
Authenticate (who are you?)
Authorization (what access do you have?)
Accounting (what have you done?)
Cisco or non-proprietary and what do the acronym stand for?
RADIUS?
TACACS?
RADIUS = (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Server)
is non proprietary
TACACS = (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System)
is a Cisco only protocol
Security acronyms: • IKE • SA (works with?) • AH (works how?) • ESP (works with?) • GRE (effectiveness in comparison to others)
- IKE = Internet Key Exchange (works with IKE+SA and/or IPSec+IKE)
- SA = Security Association (works with IKE+SA and/or IPSec+SA)
- AH = Authentication Header (embedded within a packet)
- ESP = Encapsulating Security Payload (encapsulates a packet as part of IPSec)
- GRE = Generic Routing Encapsulation - tunnels any Layer 3 protocol - generic and therefore weak compared to protocol specific security transport methods like IPSec or PPPoA or PPPoE
IP ARP inspection – all ports are trusted or untrusted by default?
All ports are untrusted by default when Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) is enabled
To trust, you need the
ip arp inspection trust
cli command applied in port configuration
RFC 1918 (private IP’s)?
A - 10.0.0.0/8 -> 10.255.255.255 (all of 10.x.x.x)
B - 172.16.0.0/12 -> 172.31.255.255 (only 172.{16-31}.x.x)
C - 192.168.0.0/16 -> 192.168.255.255 (all of 192.168.x.x)
