Routing is the process of selecting best paths in a network and forward data from source to destination through it. Routing is usually performed by a dedicated device called a router. Contact Us @l What is Protocol? A’protocol'is a set of invisible computer rules that enable two devices to connect and transmit data to one another. Protocols determine how data are transmitted between computing devices and over networks. Explain difference between Router, Switch and Hub? Hubs, switches, and routers are all computer networking devices with varying capabilities. Let's look in detail Hub A hub is typically the least expensive, least intelligent, and least complicated of the three, Its job is very simple — anything that comes in one port is sent out to the others. Hub has single collision domain and single broadcast domain Switch Switch is a device that filters and forwards packets between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer (layer 2) and sometimes the network layer (layer 3) of Sq ¢ OSI Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. Switches have ultiple collision domains and have a single broadcast domain secklotop Router hnpssysnetnotes ogspotiv20140aibasc-ccnanterview-questors-and tm 45s2016 Basle CCNA Iurview Quostons AND Arears~ Syst Notes Router is a device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP's network. Routers won't forward broadcast. If a router is present in a network, we may have at least TWO broadcast domains. Explain broadcast and collision domain? A broadcast domain is a logical division of a computer network, in which all nodes can reach each other by broadcast at the data link layer. Accollision domain is a section of a network where data packets can collide with one another when being sent on a shared medium or through repeaters What is the size of IP Address? 32 bit for IPv4 and 128 bit for IPvé IEEE standard for wireless networking? IEEE 802.11 What is the range of class A address? Class A Range from 1.0.0.1 to 126.255.255.254 and Supports 16 million hosts on each of 127 networks. What is the range of class B address? Class B range from 128.1.0.1 to 191.255.255.254 and Supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks. ‘What is the range of class C address? Class C range is from 192.0.1.1 to 223.255.254.254 and Supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks. What is PoE (Power over Ethernet)? Power over Ethernet or PoE describes the technology which pass electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to devices such as wireless access points or IP cameras. What is a peer-peer process? A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a type of decentralized and distributed network architecture in which individual nodes in the network (called “peers") act as both suppliers and consumers of resources. There will be no centralized system we usually seen like Client server model. Simply in p2p, network devices act as both hnpssysnetnotes ogspotiv20140aibasc-ccnanterview-questors-and tm an.s2016 Basic CCNA Interviw Questions AND Answers ~ Sysnat Notes client and server What is ping? Why you use ping? Ping [Packet Internet Groper PING] a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network What is the difference between tracert and traceroute Both Tracert and traceroute commands do similar purpose. On a router or switch you would use the command traceroute and on a pe you would use tracert What is Round Trip Time? Roundtrip time (RT7), also called round-trip delay, is the time required for a packet to travel from a specific source to a specific destination and back again Source is the computer sending the packet and the destination is a remote computer or system. that receives the packet and retransmits it. A user can determine the RTT to and from an IP address by pinging that address Define the terms Unicast, Multicast and Broadcast and Anycast? Unicast - One to One communication Eg: http Multicast One to a group Communication Eg: SLP Broadcasting — One to All communication Eg: ARP Anycast - One to nearest Communication Eg : 6to4 Where do we use cross and standard cable? To connect same group device use Cross Cable To connect different group device use Straight Cable For Example: To connect one PC to another PC use Cross Cable To connect one comp to switch OR one switch to router use straight cable What are the differences between static ip addressing and dynamic ip addressing? Dynamic IP addresses can change each time you connect to the Internet, while static IP addresses are reserved for you statically and don't change over time. In short, Dynamic IP addresses are provided by DIICP server and static IP addresses are given manually Difference between CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA? Carrier Sense Multiple Access With Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) is a media hnpssysnetnotes ogspotiv20140aibasc-ccnanterview-questors-and tm a5s2016 Basle CCNA Iurview Quostons AND Arears~ Syst Notes access control method used in local area networking using early Ethernet technology to overcome collision when it happened while Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is used in wireless network to avoid collision ‘What is DHCP scope? A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) scope is the consecutive range of possible IP addresses that the DHCP server can lease to clients on a subnet, What is Checksum? A simple error-detection scheme in which each transmitted message is accompanied by a numerical value based on the number of set bits in the message. The receiving station then applies the same formula to the message and checks to make sure the accompanying numerical value is the same. If not, the receiver can assume that the message has been garbled. What is Redundancy? Network redundancy is a method which provide a back up for the primary device or route and thereby ensuring network will be available even the primary device or route become failed or unavailable What are the different memories used in a CISCO router? ROM ROM is read-only memory available on a router's processor board. The initial bootstrap software that runs on a Cisco router is usually stored in ROM. ROM also maintains instructions for Power-on Self Test (POST) diagnostics. Flash Memory Flash memory is an Electronically Erasable and Re-Programmable memory chip. The Flash memory contains the full Operating System Image (IOS, Internetwork Operating System).Flash memory retains content when router is powered down or restarted. RAM RAM is very fast memory that loses its information when the router is shutdown or restarted. On a router, RAM is used to hold running Cisco IOS Operating System, IOS system tables and buffers RAM is also used to store routing tables,RAM Provides temporary memory for the router configuration file of the router while the router is powered on, hnpssysnetnotes ogspotiv20140aibasc-ccnanterview-questors-and tm anssve12016 Basic CENA ntoviow Questions AND Answers ~ Sysnat Notas RAM Stores running Cisco IOS Operating System, Active program and operating system instructions, the Running Configuration File, ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache, routing tables and buffered IP Packets. NVRAM (Non-volatile Random Access Memory) NVRAM is used to store the Startup Configuration File. his is the configuration file that JOS reads when the router boots up. It is extremely fast memory and retains its content when the router is restarted. What are the different types of passwords used in securing a CISCO router? Here are the five passwords you can set on a Cisco router: Console Aux VTY Enable password Enable Secret What is the use of "Service Password Encryption"? "Service Password Encryption” command allows you to encrypt all passwords(including clear text) on your router so they cannot be viewed from your running-config Define and explain the five conversion steps of data encapsulation. Data encapsulation is a process that makes use of the layered model concept in that each layer depends on the layer above and below relative to OSI. The lower layer uses encapsulation to put the data from the upper layer into its own encapsulated data field i.e., the information in a protocol is wrapped, or contained, in the data section of another protocol. In the process of encapsulation, header information is added to the data from the above layer.

Physical topology is the network what we can see and Logical topology is the network which data packets are send from source to destination What is AS (Autonomous System)? An autonomous system (AS) can be said as either a single network or a group of networks that is controlled by a common network administrator (or group of administrators) on behalf of a single administrative entity (such as a university, a business enterprise, or a business division). An autonomous system is also sometimes referred to as a routing domain. An autonomous system is assigned a globally unique number, sometimes called an Autonomous System Number (ASN). What is the difference between Private IP and Public IP? Public IP is used across internet and Private IPs are used within the local LAN Explain different cable types? Straight cable - To connect different group devices (Switch — Router) Cross Cable - To connect same group device (PC -PC, Switch -Switch) Rollover cable - To connect Console port to Computer hnpssysnetnotes ogspotiv20140aibasc-ccnanterview-questors-and tm ans.var Basle CCNA Iurview Quostons AND Arears~ Syst Notes How does RIP differ from EIGRP? The major difference between both is that EIGRP is Cisco propriety and RIP is open standard Some internal differences between them are: AD value of Rip is 120 and AD value for EIGRP is 90 internal / 170 external. RIP uses Bellmen ford algorithm to calculate the path while Eigrp use Dual method to calculate the routes paths Maximum hop count for RIP is 15 that is after 15 counts the packet is dropped while that of EIGRP is 100 by default and upto 255 by configuration. RIP(ver 1) is classfull protocol where as EIGRP is classless protocol In RIP full routing table exchanged, but in EIGRP missing routes are exchanged For RIP protocol, hello timers every 30 seconds but in EIGRP hello timer every 5 seconds RIP v1 sends updates as broadcast while EIGRP send updates as Multicast EIGRP uses an Autonomous number to determine which domain it belongs to which is not the case with RIP protocols. RIP is mostly used for smaller networks which EIGRP is used for larger networks. RIP is a distance vector routing protocol while EIGRP is an hybrid routing protocol. RIP sends full update whenever network change occurs whereas EIGRP sends triggered updates Differentiate User Mode from Privileged Mode Privileged mode has access to the entire router or switch configuration. User EXEC mode only has limited options. Specifically, to do any configuration changes, you need to enter privileged mode first.User EXEC mode is used mainly for running show commands and to collect details What is 100BaseFX? 100BaseFX is a version of Fast Ethernet that is often used for wiring campus backbones. Differentiate full-duplex from half-duplex? Full-duplex means that communication can occur in both directions at the same time. Half- duplex means communication can only occur in one direction at a time hnpssysnetnotes ogspotiv20140aibasc-ccnanterview-questors-and tm 15s2016 Basic CCNA Interviw Questions AND Answers ~ Sysnat Notes What does the "show protocol” display?
