CCIE Vocab

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. Receiver's advertised window.






2. IP Control Protocol.






3. The process of combining multiple synchronized input signals over a single medium by giving each signal its own time slot - and then breaking out those signals.






4. The combination of PVST+ and Rapid Spanning Tree. It provides subsecond convergence time and is compatible with PVST+ and MSTP.






5. A 3-tuple consisting of an IP address - port number - and transport layer protocol. TCP connections exist between a pair of sockets.






6. Defined in RFC 1631 - a method of translating IP addresses in headers with the goal of allowing multiple hosts to share single public IP addresses - thereby reducing IPv4 public address depletion.






7. The process of taking routes known through one routing protocol and advertising those routes with another routing protocol.






8. The number of beacons that governs how often multicast frames are sent over a wireless LAN.






9. 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.






10. Port Aggregation Protocol.






11. Secure Shell protocol used for character-oriented command-line access and configuration. A highly secure alternative to Telnet.






12. The list of entries learned by the switch DHCP snooping feature. The entries include the MAC address used as the device's DHCP client address - the assigned IP address - the VLAN - and the switch port on which the DHCP assignment messages flowed.






13. A method for optimizing the flow of multicast IP packets passing through a LAN switch. The switch using IGMP snooping examines IGMP messages to determine which ports need to receive traffic for each multicast group.






14. A configuration tool in Cisco IOS that allows basic programming logic to be applied to a set of items. Often used for decisions about what routes to redistribute - and for setting particular characteristics of those routes






15. A Cisco-proprietary BGP feature. The administrative weight can be assigned to each NLRI and path locally on a router - impacting the local router's choice of the best BGP routes. The value cannot be communicated to another router.






16. An MPLS data structure used for forwarding labeled packets. The LFIB lists the incoming label - which is compared to the incoming packet's label - along with forwarding instructions for the packet.






17. A characterization of a BGP path attribute in which all BGP implementations must support and understand the attribute (well known) - and all BGP Updates must include the attribute (mandatory).






18. The original MPLS protocol used to advertise the binding (mapping) information about each particular IP prefix and associated label. It is slightly different from LDP - but functionally equivalent. See also LDP.






19. Prefix list.






20. A process whereby a switch - when making a forwarding decision - uses not only Layer 2 logic but other OSI layer equivalents as well.






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






22. A term referring to EIGRP's internal processing logic.






23. An attack similar to a smurf attack - but using packets for the UDP Echo application instead of ICMP.






24. In the context of SNMP - the GetNext command is sent by an SNMP manager - to an agent - requesting the value of a single MIB variable. The GetNext request identifies a variable for which the manager wants the variable name and value of the next MIB l






25. Often used synonymously with neighbor - but with emphasis on the fact that all required parameters match - allowing routing updates to be exchanged between the routers.






26. With EIGRP - the route to each destination for which the metric is the lowest of all known routes to that network.






27. A TCP variable used as the basis for a TCP sender's timer defining how long it should wait for a missing acknowledgement before resending the data.






28. Jargon used to refer to the second of two buckets in the dual token bucket model; its size is Be.






29. A BGP path attribute that allows routers in one AS to set a value and advertise it into a neighboring AS - impacting the decision process in that neighboring AS. A smaller value is considered better. Also called the BGP metric.






30. A standard (RFC 2131) protocol by which a host can dynamically broadcast a request for a server to assign to it an IP address - along with other configuration settings - including a subnet mask and default gateway IP address. DHCP provides a great de






31. A set of packets in an MPLS network for which the MPLS network will apply the exact same forwarding behavior.






32. EIGRP jargon meaning that EIGRP has placed a route into active status.






33. Version 4 of the IP protocol - which is the generally deployed version worldwide (at publication) - and uses 32-bit IP addresses.






34. In BGP - a configuration construct in which multiple neighbors' parameters can be configured as a group - thereby reducing the length of the configuration. Additionally - BGP performs routing policy logic against only one set of Updates for the entir






35. A term used with WFQ for the number assigned to a packet as it is enqueued into a WFQ. WFQ schedules the currently lowest SN packet next.






36. Measured Round-Trip Time.






37. A name used for DS3 lines inside the North American TDM hierarchy.






38. A Cisco-proprietary feature by which multiple routers can provide interface IP address redundancy so that hosts using the shared - virtual IP address as their default gateway can still reach the rest of a network even if one or more routers fail.






39. An EIGRP message that informs neighbors about routing information. Update messages require an Ack.






40. 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






41. An MQC configuration style by which one policy map calls a second policy map. For example - a shaping policy map can call an LLQ policy map to implement LLQ for packets shaped by CB Shaping.






42. For some encoding schemes - consecutive signals must use opposite polarity in an effort to reduce DC current. A BPV occurs when consecutive signals are of the same polarity.






43. Time Interval.






44. A method of Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI) over interfaces that natively use Frame Relay encapsulation. The routers first build MLP-style PPP headers - which are then encapsulated inside a Frame Relay header. The PPP headers are then used






45. The portion of PPP focused on negotiating IP features






46. A method that creates three thresholds per egress queue in the Cisco 3560 switch. Traffic is divided into the three queues based on CoS value - and given different likelihoods (weight) for tail drop when congestion occurs based on which egress queue






47. An EIGRP router's reaction to an input event - leading to the use of a feasible successor or going active on a route.






48. A BGP router that - unknown to it - is aided by a route reflector server to cause all iBGP routers in an AS to learn all eBGP-learned prefixes.






49. Link Control Protocol.






50. Three core security functions.
