When you configure Uplinkfast on a Cisco switch, two actions will be taken in regards to port costs and priorities. What are they?

Answer: Uplinkfast will take immediate action to ensure that the switch cannot become the root switch. First, the switch priority will be set to 49,152.

Additionally, the STP Port Cost will be increased by 3000, making it highly unlikely that this switch will be used to reach the root switch by any downstream switches.

CCNA and CCENT Certification:

Put the following in numeric order, from lowest value to highest. (Values in paren.)

A. Default OSPF interface priority (1)

B. Administrative distance of a directly connected route (0)

C. AD of a RIP route (120)

D. Seconds between full routing table updates in RIP (30)

E. OSPF dead time on a broadcast segment (40)

F. OSPF hello time on an NBMA segment (30)

Answer: B, A, D - F (tie), E, C.

CCNA Security:

Short answer: What SDM task button would you click in order to run a Security Audit?

Answer: The Security Audit button. :)

And now for the CCNP questions!

BSCI Exam:

Short answer: What are the well-known mandatory BGP attributes?

Answer: AS_PATH, Origin, and Next-Hop.

BCMSN Exam:

CEF has two major components. Name and briefly describe them.

Answer: CEF-enabled switches keep a Forwarding Information Base (FIB) that contains the usual routing information - the destination networks, their masks, the next-hop IP addresses, etc - and CEF will use the FIB to make L3 prefix-based decisions.

The FIB takes care of the L3 routing information, but what of the L2 information we need? That's found in the Adjacency Table (AT). As adjacent hosts are discovered via ARP, that next-hop L2 information is kept in this table for CEF switching.

ISCW Exam:

Short answer: Name the three major label exchange information protocols.

Answer:

LDP, the Label Distribution Protocol

TDP, the Tag Distribution Protocol

RSVP, the Resource Reservation Protocol

ONT Exam:

If the most significant bits of the DSCP are all set to zero, which of the following are you running?

A. AF

B. Class Selector PHB

C. EF

D. Default PHB

Answer: D.

CCNA / CCENT Certification:

Two switches are connected via four crossover cables. Trunks have formed and there is no Etherchannel. How many of the eight ports involved in the trunks will be in forwarding mode, assuming one is the root switch for the network?

Answer: Five. All four ports on the root switch will be in forwarding mode, and only one on the non-root switch.

By default, which of the following will a RIP-enabled interface do?

A. Accept broadcast updates

B. Accept multicast updates

C. Transmit broadcast updates

D. Transmit multicast updates

E. Send or accept authenticated updates


Answer: A, B, C. A RIP-enabled interface will transmit V1 updates (broadcasts), but will accept both V1 and V2 (multicast) updates.

CCNA Security:

Which of the following does Authentication Header NOT offer?

A. data origin authentication

B. data integrity

C. data confidentiality

D. anti-replay protection

Answer: C. AH doesn't offer data confidentiality.

And now, the answers to the CCNP questions....

BSCI Exam:

Which of the following requires some sort of seed metric for redistribution into this protocol to be successful?

A. OSPF

B. RIP

C. EIGRP

Answer: A, B, C.

BCMSN Exam:

Of LACP and PAgP, which can be used to create Etherchannels on Cisco switches?

A. LACP only

B. PAgP only

C. Both

D. Neither

Answer: C.

ISCW Exam:

Define the term "penultimate hop popping".

Answer: With penultimate hop popping, the Edge LSR can actually request that the downstream MPLS router pop that label.

As a result, the Edge LSR receives an unlabeled IP packet, and the Edge LSR must now only perform one lookup - the routing table lookup.

ONT Exam:

Which of the following describes traffic policing?

A. Will "re-queue" traffic

B. Can be configured to police incoming and outgoing traffic

C. Tends to result in fewer TCP retransmissions than traffic shaping

D. Supports traffic marking

Answer: B, D. (Policing tends to result in more TCP retransmissions than shaping, not less.)
