Networking Concepts Quiz

The default route is used when no more specific route is found in the routing table. It directs traffic to the destination network by sending it out the appropriate interface. It's like a safety net for your network traffic, making sure it always finds its way out.

A floating static route is a backup route used when a primary route fails. It's like a backup plan, ensuring your network traffic still reaches its destination even if the primary path is down.

A floating static route is a backup route. It's used when the primary route becomes unavailable.

A floating static route is a backup route. It's used when the primary route becomes unavailable.

The 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/0 default route is a safety net, effectively providing a generic instruction for the network traffic to reach its destination if a specific route isn't found. It's like a general instruction for network traffic to reach its destination.

A static route where the destination network mask is 0.0.0.0. This route will match any destination network.

A network attack that allows intruders to gain unauthorized access to other VLANs.

A technique used by attackers to flood a switch with MAC addresses, potentially causing the MAC address table to become overwhelmed.

An attack where an attacker sends spoofed native VLAN information to a switch, allowing them to gain access to other VLANs.

The default static route takes precedence over a static route with a more specific mask. A more specific mask routes traffic more specifically.

A DHCPv6 Server with no active clients is likely not configured correctly. Check the configuration or troubleshoot why clients are not requesting addresses from the server.

An attack where an attacker sends spoofed IP addresses from their device, potentially allowing them to impersonate a legitimate device or bypass security measures.

An attack where an attacker introduces a rogue switch into a network, potentially allowing them to bypass security measures and gain access to other parts of the network.

A VLAN that is not configured on the switch.

VTP allows creating, modifying, and deleting VLANs on the local switch.

VTP Client mode allows receiving VLAN information from a VTP Server but doesn't allow local modifications.

VTP Master mode allows the switch to manage VLANs and distribute them to other switches in the domain.

VTP Transparent mode doesn't participate in VTP, VLANs are managed locally.

Before joining a new VTP domain, configure the switch with the new domain name, VTP mode, VTP version, and password.

Resetting VTP counters allows the switch to synchronize with other switches in the domain.

Downloading the VTP database from the new domain's VTP server ensures consistency across the domain.

A network configuration method where two separate Wi-Fi networks are created from one access point: one for basic internet use (2.4GHz) and the other for high-bandwidth, time-sensitive traffic (5GHz).

The configuration of different security protocols for different Wi-Fi networks. This could include WPA2 Personal AES for the high-bandwidth network and WPA Personal TKIP/AES for the basic internet network.

A configuration where an IP address is assigned to a VLAN interface on a router. This interface is then used to route traffic between the VLAN and other networks.

When traffic is forwarded based on the source MAC address. It involves matching the source MAC address to a specific destination port on the switch. This can be used to configure security measures, prioritize internet traffic from specific devices, or create separate network segments for specific users.

A command used to remove a specific configuration setting from a device. This is usually used to undo previously applied configuration changes.

The process of checking and validating the network connectivity from the ISP to the company's internal network. This ensures that the internet connection is properly established.

A static route that is used as a backup route when the primary route fails. This route has a higher Administrative Distance (AD) than the primary route, meaning it is less preferred but still available if the primary route becomes unavailable.

The process by which a switch learns the MAC addresses of connected devices. This information is stored in the MAC address table, allowing the switch to directly forward traffic to the destination device without needing to flood the network.

A network technology that allows data to be transmitted over multiple redundant switch links, increasing bandwidth and providing redundancy.

A protocol that uses broadcasts to send out Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests for IP addresses, allowing devices on the same VLAN to communicate.

VLANs are virtual networks that isolate traffic on a switch. Devices in different VLANs cannot communicate directly unless properly configured.

This command allows network administrators to create a static route in a router's configuration. The route specifies the destination network, netmask, and next-hop IP address.

The shutdown command disables a switch port, preventing any data communication through that port. It is used for maintenance or to disable unused ports.

A process designed to prevent network loops by blocking redundant paths and ensuring a single loop-free path for traffic.

A network technology that allows switches to learn and share VLAN information, simplifying VLAN management.

An attack that aims to overwhelm the switch's MAC address table by sending a large number of unique MAC addresses, potentially causing the switch to stop forwarding traffic properly.

This is the stage where the device verifies if the user has the necessary permissions to access the requested resources, based on their identity and the network's security policies.

This configuration allows the switch to learn and store MAC addresses dynamically in the MAC address table and the running configuration.

This configuration allows the switch to learn and store MAC addresses dynamically only in the MAC address table.

802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n all operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

This attack aims to see frames that are destined for other hosts by spoofing MAC addresses or flooding the switch's MAC address table.

The attacker's main objective is to disrupt the switch's normal operation, effectively preventing it from forwarding traffic to its intended destinations.

This attack involves the unauthorized use of the switch's resources, potentially resulting in information theft, network disruptions, or unauthorized access to sensitive information.
