Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Not-so-stubby area.






2. On a serial cable - the pin lead set by the DTE to imply that the DTE is ready to signal using pin leads.






3. An administrative setting - included in Hellos - that is the first criteria for electing a DR. The highest priority wins - with values from 1-255 - with priority 0 meaning a router cannot become DR or BDR.






4. A bit in the Frame Relay header that - when set to 1 - means that if a device needs to discard frames - it should discard the frames with DE 1 first.






5. An optional transitive BGP path attribute that - for a summary route - lists the BGP RID and ASN of the router that created the summary.






6. Label Forwarding Information Base.






7. In shaping and policing - commonly used to refer to the shaping or policing rate. For WAN services - a common reference to the bit rate defined in the WAN service business contract for each VC.






8. A Cisco IOS queuing tool that uses MQC configuration commands and reserves a minimum bandwidth for each queue.






9. An FRF standard for payload compression.






10. Forwarding Information Base.






11. Used to reserve network resources for a flow as it traverses the network. A device that creates an RSVP reservation guarantees that it can provide the bandwidth - latency - or other resources that are requested by RSVP.






12. Multicast addresses that are not assigned by IANA.






13. An SPF calculation for which a router does not need to run SPF for any LSAs inside its area - but instead runs a very simple algorithm for changes to LSAs outside its own area.






14. IP Control Protocol.






15. An attack by which the attacker initiates many TCP connections to a server - but does not complete the TCP connections - by simply not sending the third segment normally used to establish the connection. The server may consume resources and reject ne






16. A protection against problems caused by unidirectional links between two switches. Uses messaging between switches to detect the loop - err-disabling the port when the link is unidirectional.






17. A neighbor state that signifies the other router has reached neighbor status - having passed the parameter check. The FIB entry details the information needed for forwarding: the next-hop router and the outgoing interface - in an optimized mtrie stru






18. A BGP message that includes withdrawn routes - path attributes - and NLRI.






19. The PDU used by a particular layer of a networking model - with x defining the layer.






20. VLAN Trunking Protocol.






21. A commonly used name for Multi-VRF CE.






22. Neighbor Discovery Protocol.






23. A predefined VC. A PVC can be equated to a leased line in concept.






24. The characterization of how far EIGRP Query messages flow away from the router that first notices a failed route and goes active for a particular subnet.






25. A Cisco-proprietary protocol used to dynamically negotiate whether the devices on an Ethernet segment want to form a trunk and - if so - which type (ISL or 802.1Q).






26. In the context of SNMP - the Set command is sent by an SNMP manager - to an agent - requesting that the agent set a single identified variable to the stated value. The main purpose is to allow remote configuration and remote operation - such as shutt






27. Superframe






28. A bit in the LAPF Frame Relay header that - when set to 1 - implies that the frame has experienced congestion.






29. A 3-bit field in an 802.1Q header used for marking frames.






30. A contiguous group of data links that share the same OSPF area number.






31. Label switched path.






32. The portion of PPP focused on negotiating IP features






33. The notation in a Cisco IOS IP routing table that identifies the route used by that router as the default route.






34. Local Management Interface.






35. An 802.1d STP port state in which the port has been administratively disabled.






36. A state for a route in an EIGRP topology table that indicates that the router is actively sending Query messages for this route - attempting to validate and learn the current best route to that subnet.






37. The IPv6 protocol used for the discovery of which hosts are listening for which multicast IP addresses for IPv6.






38. Peak information rate.






39. Assured Forwarding. A set of DiffServ PHBs that defines 12 DSCP values - with four queuing classes and three drop probabilities within each queuing class.






40. A switch feature that limits the number of allowed MAC addresses on a port - with optional limits based on the actual values of the MAC addresses.






41. An Internet standard authentication protocol that uses clear-text passwords and a two-way handshake to perform authentication over a PPP link.






42. A mechanism in which VLAN information can extend over another set of 802.1Q trunks by tunneling the original 802.1Q traffic with another 802.1Q tag. It allows a service provider to support transparent VLAN services with multiple customers - even if t






43. The process of taking the IP and TCP headers of a packet - compressing them - and then uncompressing them on the receiving router.






44. A single instance of STP that is applied to multiple VLANs - typically when using the 802.1Q trunking standard.






45. A convention for IP addresses in which class A - B - and C default network prefixes (of 8 - 16 - and 24 bits - respectively) are ignored.






46. Link-state advertisement.






47. A vendor consortium that formerly worked to further Frame Relay common vendor standards.






48. The operating mode of shaped round-robin that provides behavior like CBWFQ with bandwidth allocated between different traffic classes by a relative amount rather than absolute percentage of the available bandwidth.






49. A method of obtaining an IPv6 address that uses DHCPv6. See also stateless autoconfiguration.






50. Copper cable with RJ-45 connectors in which a twisted pair at pins 1 -2 on the first end of the cable is connected to pins 3 -6 on the other end - with a second pair connected to pins 3 -6 on the first end and pins 1 -2 on the other end.
