Introducing Cisco IOS

Cisco Router IOS
The Cisco IOS is a proprietary kernel that provides routing, switching, internetworking, and telecommunications features. The first IOS was written by William Yeager in 1986,

Cisco router IOS software is responsible for:
1- Carrying network protocols and functions
2- Connecting high-speed traffic between devices
3- Adding security to control access and stop unauthorized network use
4- Supplying network reliability for connecting to network resources

Connecting to a Cisco Router
You can access the Cisco IOS through the console port of a router, from a modem into the auxiliary (or Aux) port, or even through Telnet. You can connect to a Cisco router to configure it, verify its configuration, and check statistics. Most often, the first method you would connect to router is the console port. The console port is usually an RJ-45 (8-pin ) connection located at the back of the router.

Booting Process of Router
1-When you first start a Cisco router, it will run a power-on self-test (POST).
2-If it passes, it will then look for and load the Cisco IOS from flash memory.
3-If an IOS file is present then it would expands it into RAM.
4-After that, the IOS loads and looks for a valid configuration the startup-config that’s stored in (NVRAM).

Router Configuration Modes
One key to navigating the CLI is to always be aware of which router configuration mode you are currently in (see Table 1.1). You can tell which configuration mode you are in by watching the CLI prompt.

Router Configuration Modes
Mode             Definition                                                                             Example
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User                 EXEC mode Limited to basic monitoring commands            Router>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Privileged       EXEC mode Provides access to all other router commandsRouter#
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global mode   Commands that affect the entire system                             Router(config)#
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specific mode Commands that affect interfaces, routing processes,         Router(config-subif)#
or lines only
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------         
Once you understand the different modes, you will need to be able to move from one mode to another within the CLI.

Command Meaning
Changes from user EXEC to privileged EXEC mode
Router>enable

Changes to user EXEC from privileged EXEC mode
Router#disable

Changes to global configuration mode from privileged mode
Router#config term

Exits from any configuration mode to privileged
mode (Ctrl+Z is also commonly used)
Router(config)#exit

Enters interface configuration mode from global configuration mode
Router(config)#interface <int>
example: Router(config)#interface fa0/0

Enters subinterface configuration mode from global configuration mode
Router(config)# interface <subint>
example: Router(config)#interface fa0/0.1

Enters line configuration mode from global configuration mode
Router(config)#line <line>
example: Router(config)#line console 0

Enters router configuration mode from global configuration mode
Router(config)# router eigrp 1 

Setting a hostname on a router:
Router#config t
Router(config)#hostname dixit
dixit(config)#

Configure NTP Server in Linux

According to the Red Hat Exam Prep Guide, you need to be able to synchronize clients with a higher stratum server. The term stratum is used to define different levels, from 1 to 15, of time servers that are available to sync with. A stratum 1 time server is the most accurate. For load balancing and redundancy, you would probably want to configure a primary NTP server and a secondary NTP server to sync with a stratum 1 time server. Now let’s look more closely at both the server and client side of NTP.

Configure NTP server
Step 1. Verify that the package has been installed:
# rpm -qa | grep ntp

To configure the primary NTP server, let’s look at part of the config file that comes with the system:
#vim /etc/ntp.conf
...
server 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org
server 1.rhel.pool.ntp.org
server 2.rhel.pool.ntp.org
...
#server 127.127.1.0
#fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
The first three lines shown here are the Internet (public) NTP servers that you sync with for the correct time. The fourth server option, which is usually based on the BIOS click if used.

Step 2. Start the NTP service:
# service ntpd start

Client configuration:
With the server configured, you can turn your attention over to one of the client systems. For this example, use the Client01 system to sync with the server1 (192.168.1.100) primary NTP server.

Define server1 as the primary time server and make sure the driftfile line is uncommented:
#vim /etc/ntp.conf
...
Server 192.168.1.100
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift

Step 1. Use iptables to create the required firewall rules:
# iptables -I INPUT  -p udp -m udp --dport 123 -j ACCEPT
# iptables -I INPUT  -p tcp -m tcp --dport 123 -j ACCEPT

Step 2. Save the firewall rules you just created:
# service iptables save

Step 3. Then restart the iptables service:
# service iptables restart
#service ntpd restart

Step 4. Specify the upstream server that you want to sync against:
# ntpdate 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org

Step 5. Start the service again:
# service ntpd start

Step 6. Verify that the time is accurate with the date command:
# date

The next troubleshooting command is ntpq, which enables you to query for other NTP servers. Here, the only concern is the -p option, which polls for other NTP servers:
# ntpq -p

Process Management in Linux

Every time a program or command is run, a process is created for it. These processes are all unique and identified by the process identification (PID).

Here are some of the process management commands you can use:
ps Displays information about running processes

kill Terminates a process 

pgrep Finds a process based on its PID

pidof Displays all processes related to a service or command

top Monitors system resources (similar to Task Manager in Windows)

renice Adjusts the priority of a particular process

1-To view processes with more detailed information, you can use the following command:
# ps u
Or you could also use following command for more detail.
# ps aux

2-What happens if any process running on your system becomes out of control? you can use the kill command to terminate the process, even if it isn’t responding.
Syntax: kill PID

To find the PID(s) belonging to the SSH service, use the following:
# pidof sshd
4286
To achieve the same information you can also use the pgrep command:
# pgrep sshd
4286
Where 4286 is pid of sshd service
To kill the process forcefully the SSH service, you can use the following:
# kill 4286

top This command gives you an overview of processes on the system, including memory usage, CPU utilization, and more. Look the output as shown in figure (top 1.0).
#top                            
                                                                              top 1.0

You can use the renice command to change priority on the CPU.
Syntax: renice <priority> [options]
Options:
-p PID Changes process priority for a particular PID
-u user Changes process priority for a particular user(s)

The priority values range from –20 (very high priority) to 20 (very low priority).
For example following command will change the priority as -2 for pid 3874.
# renice -2 3874

Using the free Command The free command allows you to display the amount of free and used memory on the system. To do so, type the following at a shell prompt:
#free
 
Using the System Monitor Tool
The Resources tab of the System Monitor tool allows you to view the current CPU usage on the system.
To start the System Monitor tool, either select Applications > System Tools >? System Monitor from the panel, or type gnome-system-monitor at a shell prompt. Then click the Resources tab to view the system's CPU usage and Memory usage, (look figure System Monitor 1.0 ).

System Monitor 1.0

Job scheduling Using Crontab

Ther are two utilities that you can use to schedule a job in Linux 1- AT, 2- CRONTAB.
A-at
At utility is used to schedule a one-time task at a specific time. Before configuring at make sure that service is running and set start to boot by using following commands.
#service atd start
#chkconfig atd on

If you have any problem regarding service management click here to know more.
To schedule a one-time job for a specific time with the At utility, do the following:
Step 1. On the command line, type the command at TIME, where TIME is the time when the command is to be executed.

The TIME argument can be defined in any of the following formats:
HH:MM specifies the exact hour and minute; For example, 04:00 specifies 4:00 a.m.
midnight specifies 12:00 a.m.
noon specifies 12:00 p.m.
MONTHDAYYEAR format; For example, august 15 2013 specifies the 15th day of august in the year 2013.

Step 2. In the displayed at> prompt, define the job commands:
Type the command the job should execute and press Enter, repeat the step to provide multiple commands.
Once done, press Ctrl+D on an empty line to save task.

Exercise: Following example this will create a kamal directory on root's Desktop at 12:03 p.m.
Step 1.#at 1203
a1>mkdir /root/Desktop/kamal
at>ctl+d (to save)

To view the list of pending jobs, use the atq command.
Step 2. #atq
You can restrict the access to the at commands using the /etc/at.allow and /etc/at.deny files.
If the file at.allow exists, only users listed in the file are allowed to use at and the at.deny file is ignored.

B-Crontab.
In any operating system, it is possible to create jobs that you want to reoccur. This process, known as job
scheduling, is usually done based on user-defined jobs. For Red Hat, this process is handled by the cron service, which can be used to schedule tasks (also called jobs).

To start working with cron, you first need to look at the two config files that control access to the cron service. These two files are:
1-The /etc/cron.allow file:
 If it exists, only these users are allowed.
 If it doesn’t exist, all users except cron.deny are permitted.
2-The /etc/cron.deny file:
 If it exists and is empty, all users are allowed

You can use the crontab command to create, edit, and delete jobs.
Syntax: crontab [-u user] [option]
Options:
-e Edits the user’s crontab
-l Lists the user’s crontab
-r Deletes the user’s crontab

/etc/crontab file represent scheduled jobs and have the following format:
minute hour day month day of week username command

The following define the time when the job is to be run:
minute any integer from 0 to 59

hour  any value from 0 to 23

day  any value from 1 to 31 (must be a valid day if a month is specified)

month  any value from 1 to 12 (you can also use as jan, feb)

day of week  any value from 0 to 7, (0 or 7 Sunday) (or sun, mon)

username specifies the user under which the jobs are run

command command to be executed

Exercise1:
Step 1. Verify that the cron service is currently running:
# service crond status

Step 2. Also verify that the service is set to start when the system boots:
# chkconfig --list crond

Step 3. #vim /sample_script
#!/bin/bash
# Send a msg to all users on the console
wall “Hello World”

Save the file and set the following permissions:
# chmod 775 /sample_script

Step 4. Set up user1’s crontab:
# crontab -u user1 -e

Step 5. Add the following line:
* * * * * /sample_script
*/2 * * * * /sample_script
 Save the file and quit the editor.

Because we are using * in every field ofter 60 seconds you will see the message ”Hello World” on
your screen. In second line */2 means this will execute ofter every 2 minute.

List the current cron jobs of user01:
# crontab -u user

To remove a user’s crontab jobs, use the following command:
# crontab -u user1 -r1 -l

Configure ACL in RHEL6

ACL is extended set of permissions on files and directories that give advanced security when needed. For example you can set different permission for different user on a single file or directory. Two commands control ACLs: getfacl and setfacl. When you use the ls -l or ll command, a plus sign (+) on the side of the permission indicates ACL permission.

Step 1.  Before you can even use ACLs, however, you need to make sure that the file system has been mounted with the ACL parameter:
# mount | grep acl

If nothing is returned, it means that all currently mounted file systems do not have ACLs set up to be used. To mount the file system with the ACL option use the following command:
# mount –t ext4 -o acl,remount /dev/sda5 /data

Step 2. To verify, you can use the previous command:
# mount | grep acl
/dev/sda5 on /data type ext4 (rw,acl)

Step 3. Add the following line in your /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda5 /data ext4 defaults,acl 1 2
Save and close the file.

Step 4. To make the changes take effect, you need to remount the file system:
# mount -o remount /data

Step 6. You can now verify that your file system has the ACL option:
# mount | grep -i acl
/dev/sda5 on /data type ext3 (rw,acl)

Exercise: To understand ACL let's look an example.
Step 1. Create a sample file (file1) on which you can test an ACL in the /data/backup directory:
#mkdir /data/backup
# cd /data/backup
#touch file1
Check default permission by using following command.
# getfacl /data/backup

Step 2. Set the test file so that user1 also has access to this file:
# setfacl -m u:user1:rwx /data/backup/file1
Where -m means modify, u means ACL for user, rwx means i want to set read, write and execute permission on user1 for file /data/backup/file1

Step 3. Now check the ACL permissions:
# getfacl /data/backup/file1

# file: file1
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
user:user1:rwx
group::r--
mask::rwx
other::r--
Now login as user1 and try to modify file1 it should be modify.

Step 4. Use the setfacl command again to remove the ACL for user01:
# setfacl -x u:user1 /data/backup/file1
Notice -x is used to remove ACL.

Step 5. Verify that the ACL has been removed:
# getfacl file1
# file: file1
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwgroup::
r--
mask:r--
other:r--

Step 6. If you have multiple ACLs set up on a single file, you can remove them all with the -b option
# setfacl -b filename

Components of Router

Router components:
To configure and troubleshoot a Cisco internetwork, you need to know the major components of Cisco routers and understand what each one does.

1-Bootstrap Stored in the ROM, It will boot the router and then load the IOS.

2-POST (power-on self-test) Stored in the ROM, the POST is used to check the basic  functionality of the router hardware and determines which interfaces are present.

3-ROM monitor Stored in the ROM, the ROM monitor is used for manufacturing, testing, and troubleshooting.

4-Mini-IOS Called the RXBOOT or bootloader by Cisco, the mini-IOS is a small IOS in ROM that can be used to bring up an interface and load a Cisco IOS into flash memory. The mini-IOS can also perform a few other maintenance operations. Mini-IOS is not present on every router.

5-RAM (random access memory) Used to hold ARP cache, routing tables, software and data structures that allow  the router to function. Running-config is stored in RAM, and most routers loads the IOS from flash into RAM upon boot.

6-ROM (read-only memory) Used to start and maintain the router. Holds the POST and the bootstrap program as well as the mini-IOS.

7-Flash memory Stores the Cisco IOS by default. It is EEPROM (electronically erasable programmable read-only memory) created by Intel.

8-NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) Used to hold the permanent configuration of router. The configuration register is stored in NVRAM.

9-Configuration register It's a 16 digit hexadecimal configuration file that is used to control how the router boots up. Default value is set to 0x2102, which tells the router to load the IOS from flash memory as well as to load the configuration from NVRAM.

10- IOS Internet-networking Operating System. The kernel of Cisco Router IOS, developed by William Eager.

Now you know the different kinds of router components, you can move to learn Booting process of Router.

The Router Boot Sequence
Every device that uses operating system performs a series of steps, called the boot sequence, to test the hardware and load the necessary software. The router boot sequence consists of the following steps:

Step 1. The router performs a POST. The POST tests the hardware to verify that all components of the device are operational and present. The POST is stored in and run from ROM (read-only memory).

Step 2. The bootstrap then looks for and loads the Cisco IOS software. The bootstrap program is responsible for finding where each IOS program is located and then loading the file. By default, the IOS software is loaded from flash memory in all Cisco routers. The default order of an IOS loading from a router is flash, TFTP server, then ROM.

Step 3. The IOS software looks for a valid configuration file stored in NVRAM. This file is called startup-config.

Step 4. If a startup-config file is in NVRAM, the router will copy this file and place it in RAM and call the file running-config.

Step 5. Finally you will get router user console prompt. Where you can perform all the tasks.

OK Now it's time to check your answer and get score, if your score is below than 80% i will recommend to retake your test.

1. D. A point-to-point link uses only two hosts. A /30, or 255.255.255.252, mask provides two hosts per subnet.

2. C. To test the local stack on your host, ping the loopback interface of 127.0.0.1.

3. B. The only connection type that supports the use of the /30 mask is point-to-point.

4. C. To use VLSM, the routing protocols in use possess the capability to transmit subnet mask information.

5. D. Another term for route aggregation is summarization.

6. A. Route aggregation results in smaller routing tables.

7. D. The network address used to advertise a summary address is always the first network in the block.

8. D. When a ping to the loopback address fails, you can assume the IP stack has failed to initialize.

9. C. When a ping to the local host IP address fails, you can assume the NIC is not functional.

10. C, D. If a ping to the local host succeeds, you can rule out IP stack or NIC failure.

11. E. If you can ping a remote host, everything is working locally.

12. A. The most likely problem if you can ping a computer by IP address but not by name is a failure of DNS.

13. D. When you issue the ping command, you are using the ICMP protocol.

14. B. The traceroute command displays the networks traversed on a path to a network destination.

15. A. The ping command uses ICMP echo requests and replies.

16. D. tracert is the Windows version of the Cisco command that displays the networks traversed on a path to a network destination.

17. C. The arp -a command displays IP-to-MAC-address mappings on a Windows PC.
18. A. The command that displays the ARP table on a Cisco router is show ip arp.

19. C. The /all switch must be added to the ipconfig command on a PC to verify DNS configuration.
20. C. If you start at 192.168.128.0 and go through 192.168.159.0, you can see this is a block of 32 in the third octet. Since the network address is always the first one in the range, the summary address is 192.168.128.0. What mask provides a block of 32 in the third octet? The answer is 255.255.224.0, or /19

21. D. A point-to-point link uses only two hosts. A /30, or 255.255.255.252, mask provides two hosts per subnet.

22. C. A /21 is 255.255.248.0, which means we have a block size of 8 in the third octet, so we just count by 8 until we reach 66. The subnet in this question is 64.0. The next subnet is 72.0, so the broadcast address of the 64 subnet is 71.255.

23. A. A /29 (255.255.255.248), regardless of the class of address, has only 3 host bits. Six hosts is the maximum number of hosts on this LAN, including the router interface.

24. C. A /29 is 255.255.255.248, which is a block size of 8 in the fourth octet. The subnets are 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, etc. 192.168.19.24 is the 24 subnet, and since 32 is the next subnet, the broadcast address for the 24 subnet is 31. 192.168.19.26 is the only correct answer.

25. A. A /29 (255.255.255.248) has a block size of 8 in the fourth octet. This means the subnets are 0, 8, 16, 24, etc. 10 is in the 8 subnet. The next subnet is 16, so 15 is the broadcast address.

26. B. You need 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. The mask 255.255.255.240 provides 16 subnets with 14 hosts—this will not work. The mask 255.255.255.224 provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. This is the best answer.

27. C. First, you cannot answer this question if you can’t subnet. The 192.168.10.62 with a mask of 255.255.255.192 is a block size of 64 in the fourth octet. The host 192.168.10.62 is in the zero subnet, and the error occurred because ip subnet-zero is not enabled on the router.

28. A. A /25 mask is 255.255.255.128. Used with a Class B network, the third and fourth octets are used for subnetting with a total of 9 subnet bits, 8 bits in the third octet and 1 bit in the fourth octet. Since there is only 1 bit in the fourth octet, the bit is either off or on—which is a value of 0 or 128. The host in the question is in the 0 subnet, which has a broadcast address of 127 since 112.128 is the next subnet.

29. C. A /28 is a 255.255.255.240 mask. The first subnet is 16 (remember that the question stated not to use subnet zero) and the next subnet is 32, so our broadcast address is 31. This makes our host range 17–30. 30 is the last valid host.

30. E. A Class C subnet mask of 255.255.255.224 is 3 bits on and 5 bits off (11100000) and provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. However, if the command ip subnet-zero is not used, then only 6 subnets would be available for use.

31. E. A Class B network ID with a /22 mask is 255.255.252.0, with a block size of 4 in the third octet. The network address in the question is in subnet 172.16.16.0 with a broadcast address of 172.16.19.255. Only option E has the correct subnet mask listed, and 172.16.18.255 is a valid host.

32. D, E. The router’s IP address on the E0 interface is 172.16.2.1/23, which is 255.255.254.0. This makes the third octet a block size of 2. The router’s interface is in the 2.0 subnet, and the broadcast address is 3.255 because the next subnet is 4.0. The valid host range is 2.1 through 3.254. The router is using the first valid host address in the range.

33. C. To test the local stack on your host, ping the loopback interface of 127.0.0.1.

34. D. The auxiliary port can be configured with modem commands so that a modem can be connected to the router. It lets you dial up a remote router and attach to the auxiliary port if the router is down and you need to configure it out-of-band (means out of the network).

35. C, D. To configure SSH on your router, you need to set the username command, the ip domain-name, login local, and the transport input ssh under the VTY lines, and the crypto key command. However, SSH version 2 is not required, but suggested.

36. C. The show controllers serial 0 command will show you whether either a DTE or DCE cable is connected to the interface. If it is a DCE connection, you need to add clocking with the clock rate command.

37. C. The default locations of the files are IOS in flash memory, startup configuration in NVRAM, and running configuration in RAM.

38. B. The command service password-encryption, from global configuration mode, will encrypt the passwords.

39. B. From global configuration mode, use the line vty 0 4 command to set all five default VTY lines.

40. C. The enable secret password is case sensitive, so the second option is wrong. To set the enable secret password, use the enable secret password command from global configuration mode.

41. C. The typical banner is a message of the day (MOTD) and is set by using the global configuration mode command banner motd.

42. D. To copy the running-config to NVRAM so that it will be used if the router is restarted, use the copy running-config startup-config command in privileged mode (copy run start for short).

43. D. To allow a VTY (Telnet) session into your router, you must set the VTY password. Option C is wrong because it is setting the password on the wrong router. Notice that the answers you have to set the password before you set the login command. Remember, Cisco may have you set the password before the login command.

44. D. The erase startup-config command erases the contents of NVRAM and will put you in setup mode if the router is restarted.

45. B. If an interface is shut down, the show interface command will show the interface as administratively down. (It is possible that no cable is attached, but you can’t tell that from this message.)

46. C. With the show interfaces command, you can view the configurable parameters, get statistics for the interfaces on the router, verify if the interfaces are shut down, and see the IP address of each interface.

47. C. If you delete the startup-config and reload the router, the router will automatically enter setup mode. You can also type setup from privileged mode at any time.

48. D. You can view the interface statistics from user mode, but the command is show interface serial 0/0.

49. B, D. The commands show interfaces and show ip interface will show you the layer 1 and 2 status and the IP addresses of your router’s interfaces.

50. A. If you see that a serial interface and the protocol are both down, then you have a Physical layer problem. If you see serial1 is up, line protocol is down, then you are not receiving (Data Link) keepalives from the remote end.

Understanding OSI Model

Overview of Internetworking Models:

When networks first created, computers could typically communicate only with computers from the same manufacturer. For example, companies ran either a complete DECnet based or an IBM based not both together. In the late 1970s, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model was created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to resolve this issue.

The OSI model describes how data and network information are communicated from an application on one computer through the network media to an application on another computer, but this process is too much complicated hence OSI reference model breaks this process into layers. it’s a set of guidelines that application developers can use to create and implement applications that run on a network. It also provides a framework for creating and implementing networking standards, and devices.

Advantages of Reference Models:
Advantages of using the OSI layered model include, but are not limited to, the following:
1-It divides the network communication process into smaller and simpler components.
2-It allows multiple-vendor development through standardization of network components.
3-It allows various types of network hardware and software to communicate.
4-It prevents changes in one layer from affecting other layers.

The OSI has seven different layers, divided into two groups (look figure below). The top three layers define how the applications within the end stations will communicate with each other. The bottom four layers define how data is transmitted end to end.

The OSI reference model has the following seven layers:
A-Application layer (layer 7):
Application layer is acting as an interface between the actual application programs. The OSI application layer is responsible for displaying data and images to the user in a human-recognizable format and to interface with the presentation layer layer below it. Examples of applications that utilize the network are:

• Telnet
• FTP
• Instant Message software ( MSN, Yahoo)
• Microsoft Windows File Shares
• Web Browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari etc.)

B-Presentation layer (layer 6):
It presents data to the Application layer and is responsible for data translation and code formatting (for example, EBCDIC to ASCII). By providing translation services, the Presentation layer ensures that data
transferred from the Application layer of one system can be read by the Application layer of another one.
Tasks like data compression, decompression, encryption, and decryption are associated with this layer.

C-Session Layer(layer 5):
The Session layer is responsible for setting up, managing, and terminating sessions between Presentation layer entities. This layer also provides dialog control between devices. It coordinates communication between systems by offering three different modes: simplex, half duplex, and full duplex.

D-Transport Layer(layer 4):
The Transport layer segments and reassembles data into a data stream.  They provide end-to-end data transport services and can establish a logical connection between the sending host and destination host. Some of you are probably familiar with TCP and UDP already. If so, you know that both work at the Transport layer and that TCP is a reliable service and UDP is not.

Some major tasks of Transport layer you should know: 
1-Flow Control
Data integrity is ensured at the Transport layer by maintaining flow control. Flow control prevents a sending host on one side of the connection from overflowing the buffers in the receiving host—an event that can
result in lost data. 
Connection-oriented communications ensure that the following will be achieved:
1-The segments delivered are acknowledged back to the sender upon their reception.
2-Any segments not acknowledged are retransmitted.
3-Segments are sequenced back into their proper order upon arrival at their destination.
4-A manageable data flow is maintained in order to avoid congestion, overloading, and data loss.

In reliable transport operation, The transmitting device first establishes a connection-oriented session with its peer system, which is called three-way handshake. Data is then transferred; when the transfer is finished, a call termination takes place to cut down the virtual circuit.

2-Three-way handshake
1-The first “connection agreement” segment is a request for synchronization.
2-The next segments acknowledge the request and establish connection rules between hosts.
3-The final segment notifies the destination host that the connection agreement has been accepted and Data transfer can now start.

3-Windowing
Ideally, data transmission happens quickly and efficiently as you can imagine so there’s time available after the sender transmits the data segment and before it recieve the acknowledgments from the receiving machine, the sender uses this time gap as an opportunity to transmit more data. The quantity of data segments (in bytes) that the transmitting machine is allowed to send without receiving an acknowledgment for them is called a window.

4-Acknowledgments
Reliable data delivery ensures the integrity of a stream of data sent from one machine to the other .It guarantees that the data won’t be duplicated or lost. This is achieved through something called acknowledgment a technique that requires a receiving machine to communicate with the transmitting source by sending an acknowledgment message back to the sender when it receives data. The sender documents each segment measured in bytes; it then sends and waits for this acknowledgment before sending the next segment round of bytes. When it sends a segment, the transmitting machine starts a timer and retransmits if it expires before an acknowledgment

E-Network Layer(layer 3):
The Network layer manages device addressing, tracks the location of devices on the network, and determines the best path to transfer data.

Do you know how the router works, ok  let me discuss.
1-First, when a packet is received on a router interface.
2-The destination IP address is checked.
3-If the packet isn’t destined for that particular router, it will look up the destination network address in the routing table.
4-If there is entry in routing table router chooses its exit interface, the packet will be sent to that interface to be framed and sent out on the local network.
5-If the router can’t find an entry for the packet’s destination network in the routing table, the router drops the packet.

Two types of packets are used at the Network layer: data and route updates.
Data packets used to transport user data through the internetwork. Protocols used to support data traffic are called routed protocols; examples of routed protocols are IP and IPv6.

Route update packets are used to help build and maintain routing tables on each router. Protocols that send route update packets are called routing protocols; examples are RIP, EIGRP, and OSPF.

F-Data link Layer.(layer 2):
Data Link layer ensure that messages are delivered to the proper device on a LAN using MAC addresses and will convert messages from the Network layer into bits(0,1) for the Physical layer to transmit.The Data Link layer formats the message into pieces, each called a data frame, and adds a header containing the destination and source MAC address.

Data Link layer has two sublayers:
Media Access Control (MAC) 802.3 Defines how packets are placed on the media. Line discipline, error notification (not correction), ordered delivery of frames, and flow control used at this sublayer.

Logical Link Control (LLC) 802.2 Responsible for identifying Network layer protocols and then encapsulating them. The LLC can also provide flow control and sequencing of control bits.

G-Physical Layer(layer 1):
The Physical layer specifies the electrical, mechanical and functional requirements for activating, maintaining, and deactivating a physical link between systems. It sends bits and receives bits. Bits come only in values of 1 or 0.

Now check your score
1. A. Reference models prevent, rather than allow, changes on one layer to affect operations on other layers as well, so the model doesn’t hamper development.

2. B. Routers operate no higher than layer 3 of the OSI model.

3. C. When an HTTP document must be retrieved from a location other than the local machine, the Application layer must be accessed first.

4. D. The Session layer of the OSI model offers three different modes of communication: simplex, half duplex, and full duplex.

5. A, D. An Ethernet frame has source and destination MAC addresses, an Ether-Type field to identify the Network layer protocol, the data, and the FCS field that holds the answer to the CRC.

6. A, D. Half-duplex Ethernet works in a shared medium or collision domain. Half duplex provides a lower effective throughput than full duplex.

7. D. Fiber-optic cable provides a more secure, long-distance cable that is not susceptible to EMI interference at high speeds.

8. B, C, E. Hubs cannot run full-duplex Ethernet. Full duplex must be used on a point-to-point connection between two devices capable of running full duplex. Switches and hosts can run full duplex between each other, but a hub can never run full duplex.

9. B. To connect two switches together, you would use a RJ45 UTP crossover cable.

10. B, E. Once transmitting stations on an Ethernet segment hear a collision, they send an extended jam signal to ensure that all stations recognize the collision. After the jamming is complete, each sender waits a predetermined amount of time, plus a random time. After both timers expire, they are free to transmit, but they must make sure the media is clear before transmitting and that they all have equal priority.

11. D. To connect to a router or switch console port, you would use an RJ45 UTP rolled cable.

12. B. You must be able to take a binary number and convert it into both decimal and hexadecimal. To convert to decimal, just add up the 1s using their values. The values that are turned on with the binary number of 10110111 are 128 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 183. To get the hexadecimal equivalent, you need to break the eight binary digits into nibbles (4 bits), 1011 and 0111. By adding up these values, you get 11 and 7. In hexadecimal, 11 is B, so the answer is 0xB7.

13. B. Ethernet networking uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD), a protocol that helps devices share the bandwidth evenly without having two devices transmit at the same time on the network medium.

14. A. After the expiration of the backoff algorithm, all hosts have equal priority.

15. B. Full-duplex Ethernet uses two pairs of wires.

16. C. There are no collisions in full-duplex mode.

17. D. A MAC, or hardware, address is a 48-bit (6-byte) address written in a hexadecimal format.

18. A. The first 24 bits, or 3 bytes, of a MAC address is called the organizationally unique identifier (OUI).

19. B. The Data Link layer of the OSI model is responsible for combining bits into bytes and bytes into frames.

20. C. The term for the unwanted signal interference from adjacent pairs in the cable is crosstalk.

21. C. IEEE 802.3.u is Fast Ethernet at 100Mbps and covers 100Base-TX, 100BaseT4, and 100Base-FX.

22. D. IEEE 802.3ae is the standard for 10Gbase-SR, -LR, -ER, -SW, -LW, and -E.
23. C. IEEE 802.3ab is the standard for 1Gbps on twisted-pair.

24. C. When making a HyperTerminal connection, the bit rate must be set to 9600bps.

25. C. If a DHCP conflict is detected, either by the server sending a ping and getting a response or by a host using a gratuitous ARP (arp’ing for its own IP address and seeing if a host responds), then the server will hold that address and not use it again until it is fixed by an administrator.

26. C. Proxy ARP can help machines on a subnet reach remote subnets without configuring routing or a default gateway.

27. C. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used to provide IP information to hosts on your network. DHCP can provide a lot of information, but the most common is IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS information.

28. B. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used to find the hardware address from a known IP address.

29. A, C, D. This seems like a hard question at first because it doesn’t make sense. The listed answers are from the OSI model and the question asked about the TCP/IP protocol stack (DoD model). However, let’s just look for what is wrong. First, the Session layer is not in the TCP/IP model; neither are the Data Link and Physical layers. This leaves us with the Transport layer (Host-to-Host in the DoD model), Internet layer (Network layer in the OSI), and Application layer (Application/Process in the DoD).

30. C. A Class C network address has only 8 bits for defining hosts: 28 – 2 = 254.

31. A, B. A client that sends out a DHCP Discover message in order to receive an IP address sends out a broadcast at both layer 2 and layer 3. The layer-2 broadcast is all Fs in hex, or FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. The layer-3 broadcast is 255.255.255.255, which means any networks and all hosts. DHCP is connectionless, which means it uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) at the Transport layer, also called the Host-to-Host layer.

32. B. Although Telnet does use TCP and IP (TCP/IP), the question specifically asks about layer 4, and IP works at layer 3. Telnet uses TCP at layer 4.

33. D. To stop possible address conflicts, a DHCP client will use gratuitous ARP (broadcast an ARP request for its own IP address) to see if another host responds.

34. B, D, E. SMTP, FTP, and HTTP use TCP.

35. A, C, F. DHCP, SNMP, and TFTP use UDP. SMTP, FTP, and HTTP use TCP.

36. C, D, E. Telnet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Trivial FTP (TFTP) are all Application layer protocols. IP is a Network layer protocol. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a Transport layer protocol.

37. C. First, you should know easily that only TCP and UDP work at the Transport layer, so now you have a 50/50 shot. However, since the header has sequencing, acknowledgment, and window numbers, the answer can only be TCP.

38. C. The four layers of the DoD model are Application/Process, Host-to-Host, Internet, and Network Access. The Internet layer is equivalent to the Network layer of the OSI model.

39. C, E. Class A private address range is 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255. Class B private address range is 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255, and Class C private address range is 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255.

40. B. The four layers of the TCP/IP stack (also called the DoD model) are Application/Process, Host-to-Host, Internet, and Network Access. The Host-to-Host layer is equivalent to the Transport layer of the OSI model.

42. C. The range of a Class B network address is 128–191. This makes our binary range 10xxxxxx.

43. D. DNS uses TCP for zone exchanges between servers and UDP when a client is trying to resolve a hostname to an IP addres

44. D. A /27 (255.255.255.224) is 3 bits on and 5 bits off. This provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. Does it matter if this mask is used with a Class A, B, or C network address? Not at all. The number of host bits would never change.

45. D. A 240 mask is 4 subnet bits and provides 16 subnets, each with 14 hosts. We need more subnets, so let’s add subnet bits. One more subnet bit would be a 248 mask. This provides 5 subnet bits (32 subnets) with 3 host bits (6 hosts per subnet). This is the best answer.

46. C. This is a pretty simple question. A /28 is 255.255.255.240, which means that our block size is 16 in the fourth octet. 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, etc. The host is in the 64 subnet.

47.C. C. 200.10.5.64

48. F. A CIDR address of /19 is 255.255.224.0. This is a Class B address, so that is only 3 subnet bits, but it provides 13 host bits, or 8 subnets, each with 8,190 hosts.

49. B, D. The mask 255.255.254.0 (/23) used with a Class A address means that there are 15 subnet bits and 9 host bits. The block size in the third octet is 2 (256 – 254). So this makes the subnets in the interesting octet 0, 2, 4, 6, etc., all the way to 254. The host 10.16.3.65 is in the 2.0 subnet. The next subnet is 4.0, so the broadcast address for the 2.0 subnet is 3.255. The valid host addresses are 2.1 through 3.254.

50. D. A /30, regardless of the class of address, has a 252 in the fourth octet. This means we have a block size of 4 and our subnets are 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, etc. Address 14 is obviously in the 12 subnet.

33. D. The copy tftp flash command places a new file in flash memory, which is the default location for the     Cisco IOS in Cisco routers.

34. C. The PDU encapsulation method defines how data is encoded as it goes through each layer of the TCP/IP     model. Data is segmented at the Transport later, packets created at the Network layer, frames at the Data Link layer, and finally, the Physical layer encodes the 1s and 0s into a digital signal.

35. D. A receiving host can control the transmitter by using flow control (TCP uses windowing by default). By decreasing the window size, the receiving host can slow down the transmitting host so the receiving host does not overflow its buffers.

36. D. A transmission to the MAC address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff is a broadcast transmission to all stations.

37. C, D. Not that you really want to enlarge a single collision domain, but a hub (multiport repeater) will     provide this for you.

38. D. The Transport layer receives large data streams from the upper layers and breaks these up into smaller pieces called segments.

39. A, C, E, G. Routers provide packet switching, packet filtering, internetwork communication, and path     selection. Although routers do create or terminate collision domains, this is not the main purpose of a router, so option B is not a correct answer to this question.

40. B. Routers operate at layer 3. LAN switches operate at layer 2. Ethernet hubs operate at layer 1. Word processing applications communicate to the Application layer interface, but do not operate at layer 7, so the answer would be none.

41. C. The encapsulation method is data, segment, packet, frame, bit.

42. A, D. The main advantage of a layered model is that,: It divides the network communication process into smaller and simpler components, thus aiding component development, design, and troubleshooting; it allows multiplevendor development through standardization of network components.

43. A, D. Unlike full duplex, half-duplex Ethernet operates in a shared collision domain, and it has a lower     effective throughput than full duplex.

44. B. Adding switches for connectivity to the network would reduce LAN congestion rather than cause LAN congestion.

45. C. If a switch has three computers connected to it, with no VLANs present, one broadcast and three     collision domains are created.

46. C. A reliable Transport layer connection uses acknowledgments to make sure all data is transmitted and received reliably. A reliable connection is defined by a virtual circuit that uses acknowledgments, sequencing, and flow control, which are characteristics of the Transport layer (layer 4).

47. A, C, D. The common types of flow control are buffering, windowing, and congestion avoidance.

48. D. If a hub has three computers connected to it, one broadcast and one collision domain is created.

49. C. Flow control allows the receiving device to control the transmitter so the receiving device’s buffer does not overflow.

50. A, B, E. Full duplex means you are using both wire pairs simultaneously to send and receive data. You must have a dedicated switch port for each node, which means you will not have collisions. Both the host network card and the switch port must be capable and set to work in full-duplex mode.
