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. 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






2. Jargon used by STP mostly when discussing the root election process; refers to a Hello with a lower bridge ID. Sometimes refers to a Hello with the same bridge ID as another - but with better values for the tiebreakers in the election process.






3. Custom queuing






4. The term to describe a router that is neither the DR nor the BDR on a subnet that elects a DR and BDR.






5. Loss of Signal. A T1 alarm state that occurs when the receiver has not received any pulses of either polarity for a defined time period.






6. 64 bits at the end of an IPv6 global address - used to uniquely identify each host in a subnet.






7. The speed at which the access link is clocked. This choice affects the price of the connection and many aspects of traffic shaping and policing - compression - quality of service - and other configuration options.






8. A field within a route entry in a routing update - used to associate a generic number with the route. It is used when passing routes between routing protocols - allowing an intermediate routing protocol to pass information about a route that is not n






9. 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.






10. Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol.






11. Permanent virtual circuit.






12. A characterization of a network attack in which packets flow to the attacker - and then out to the true recipient. As a result - the user continues to send data - increasing the chance that the attacker learns more and better information.






13. 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.






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






15. Reported distance or Route Distinguisher.






16. Data communications equipment.






17. With a routing update - or routing table entry - the portion of a route that defines the next router to which a packet should be sent to reach the destination subnet. With routing protocols - the Next Hop field may define a router other than the rout






18. IP routing The simplest MPLS application - involving the advertisement of an IGP to learn IP routes - and LDP or TDP to advertise labels.






19. A method used by an IPv6 host to determine its own IP address - without DHCPv6 - by using NDP and the modified EUI-64 address format. See also stateful autoconfiguration.






20. With routing protocols - the measurement of favorability that determines which entry will be installed in a routing table if more than one router is advertising that exact network and mask.






21. Access Control Server. A term referring generically to a server that performs many AAA functions. It also refers to the software product Cisco Secure Access Control Server.






22. The data structure used by OSPF to hold LSAs.






23. A DiffServ PHB - based on DSCP EF (decimal 46) - that provides low-latency queuing behavior as well as policing protection to prevent EF traffic from starving queues for other types of traffic.






24. 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.






25. UniDirectional Link Detection.






26. Tag Distribution Protocol.






27. The term referring to a group of iBGP routers in a confederation - with the group members being assigned a hidden ASN for the purposes of loop avoidance.






28. A reserved value for the BGP COMMUNITY path attribute that implies that the route should not be advertised outside the local confederation sub-AS.






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






30. A table used by CEF that holds information about adjacent IP hosts to which packets can be forwarded.






31. Not-so-stubby area.






32. Link-state database.






33. A number between 1 and 64 -511 (public) and 64 -512 and 65 -535 (private) assigned to an AS for the purpose of identifying a specific BGP domain.






34. The low-order 4 bits of the configuration register. These bits direct a router to load either ROMMON software (boot field 0x0) - RXBOOT software (boot field 0x1) - or a full-function IOS image.






35. In the PIM-SM design - the process by which a PIM-SM router can build the SPT between itself and the source of a multicast group and take advantage of the most efficient path available from the source to the router as long as it has one directly conn






36. The PPP function for fragmenting packets - plus interleaving delay-sensitive later-arriving packets between the fragments of the first packet.






37. The process - defined by FRF.5 and FRF.8 - for combining ATM and FR technologies for an individual VC.






38. WRED compares this setting to the average queue depth to decide whether packets should be discarded. All packets are discarded if the average queue depth rises above this maximum threshold.






39. An MPLS LSR that can forward and receive both labeled and unlabeled packets.






40. In IPv6 - the Neighbor Discovery message used by an IPv6 node to send information about itself to its neighbors.






41. Instead of advertising all routes out a particular interface - the routing protocol omits the routes whose outgoing interface field matches the interface out which the update would be sent.






42. Autonomous System Boundary Router. An OSPF router that redistributes routes from some other source into OSPF.






43. 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.






44. Classless interdomain routing.






45. AS number. A number between 1 and 64 -511 (public) and 64 -512 and 65 -535 (private) assigned to an AS for the purpose of identifying a specific BGP domain.






46. Digital Signal Level 1.






47. The Cisco IOS Router IP Traffic Export feature - intended for intrusion detection - exports IP traffic that has signs of an attack - such as duplicate IP packets simultaneously received on two or more of a router's interfaces.






48. A VC that is set up dynamically when needed. An SVC can be equated to a dial-on-demand connection in concept.






49. Controls the distribution of multicast traffic by checking the TTL values configured on the interfaces. It forwards the multicast packet only on those interfaces whose configured TTL value is less than or equal to the TTL value of the multicast packe






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