Q

What’s a glaring difference between NCP and LCP?

A

LCP is a single protocol, whereas NCP is a suite of protocols that are each specific to a Layer 3 protocol.

17
Q

4 features of PPP LCP

A
  1. Loop detection
  2. Error detection
  3. Multilink support
  4. Authentication
18
Q

What 2 types of authentication are supported by PPP?

19
Q

What do PAP and CHAP stand for?

A

Password Authentication Protocol

Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol

20
Q

Which PPP auth protocol sends a password in clear text?

21
Q

What are the 3 steps of a successful CHAP authenticatoin?

A
  1. Authenticator sends challenge packet.
  2. Caller hashes password etc and sends back hashed value.
  3. Authenticator compares submitted value to their own hashed value, and if they match it allows the caller in.
22
Q

Command to set PPP on a serial interface

A

conf t
int s1/0
encapsulation ppp

23
Q

2 general steps to have a PPP link use PAP or CHAP

A
  1. Configure the username/password for the calling router.

2. Set the serial link to use PPP PAP

24
Q

What will the state of a serial link be if PPP authentication fails?

25
Syntax to set a username/pass for use in PPP authentication
username *caller hostname* password *password*
26
Syntax to have a serial interface use CHAP
conf t int s1/0 ppp authentication chap
27
2 useful debug commands for PPP
debug ppp authentication | debug ppp negotiation
28
What are the 2 primary attributes of a leased line?
Symmetrical speeds | Always on
29
What kind of cable goes between a router and a CSU?
DTE
30
What are the 5 fields in the HDLC header?
1. Flag 2. Address 3. Control 4. Type 5. FCS
31
What field did Cisco add to their implementation of HDLC?
Type
32
What does the Cisco HDLC Type field help with?
It identifies which L3 protocol is contained in the packet.
33
What is the default encapsulation on a Cisco router's serial interface?
Cisco HDLC
34
Command to set a serial interface to use HDLC
conf t int s1/0 encapsulation hdlc
35
Command to verify if a serial interface is set up as a DTE or DCE
show controllers serial *int number*
36
Command to check encapsulation type on a serial interface
show interface serial *int number*
37
What types of WAN connections support asynchronous connections?
Serial line with PPP
38
How do the fields in a PPP header differ from that of HDLC?
They don't.
39
What would lead to an up/down state on a serial interface?
1. Encapsulation mismatch 2. One side having keepalives disabled 3. Authentication failure/mismatch
