Question # 1
Tell me what is SLIP (Serial Line Interface Protocol)?
ui
Answer:-
The need for a data link layer protocol to let IP operate over serial links was identified very early on in the development of TCP/IP. Engineers working on the Internet
Protocol needed a way to send IP datagrams over serial connections linking computers together. To solve the problem they created a very simple protocol that would
de
frame IP datagrams for transmission across the serial line. This protocol is called the Serial Line Internet Protocol, or SLIP for short.SLIP performs only one function:
framing of data for transmission. It does nothing else

Tell me, you can ping servers on the subnet your workstation is on, but not other subnets. What is wrong?
Answer:-
That is a TCP ip rule you can't ping to another subnet why because of if you try to communicate to another machine the machine's TCP/IP protocol suite will check
O
by using AND ing the destination IP. Iif it doesn't mach the subnet it will send that request to the gateway so the responsibility goes to gateway to reach the other

Question # 5
Explain the Pros and Cons of layer design?
Answer:-
I know only the advantages of Layered design. We can treat each layer as a problem area. Say for example, data link layer, people can concentrate only on the device
driver only, they dont need to worry about the network related meaning how the packet can be routed etc. The only responsiblility of the device driver layer is to grab
the packet destined to the local MAC and pass the frame to the network layer. Similary the network layer doesnt need to worry about how the packet is reached to the
local machine. Its only responsibility is to check whether the packet belongs to the local machine or to be forwarded. Also build the routing table to forward the
packet. This way, each forum can precisely concentrate on one problem/layer.

Explain what is Ipsec tunneling, how it works?
Answer:-
IP tunneling (IP encapsulation) is a technique to encapsulate IP datagram within IP datagrams, which allows datagrams destined for one IP address to be wrapped and
redirected to another IP address. IP encapsulation is now commonly used in Extranet, Mobile-IP, IP-Multicast, tunneled host or network.

The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) allows a local host to obtain files from a remote host but does not provide reliability or security. It uses the fundamental
packet delivery services offered by UDP.The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the standard mechanism provided by TCP / IP for copying a file from one host to
another. It uses the services offered by TCP and so is reliable and secure. It establishes two connections (virtual circuits) between the hosts, one for data transfer and
another for control information.

Question # 18
What is MTU of a link?
ui
Answer:-
Maximum Transmission Unit is the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes, that a network can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into
smaller packets before being sent. Every network has a different MTU, which is set by the network administrator. On Windows 95, you can also set the MTU of your
de
machine. This defines the maximum size of the packets sent from your computer onto the network. Ideally, you want the MTU to be the same as the smallest MTU of
all the networks between your machine and a message's final destination. Otherwise, if your messages are larger than one of the intervening MTUs, they will get
broken up (fragmented), which slows down transmission speeds. Trial and error is the only sure way of finding the optimal MTU, but there are some guidelines that
can help. For example, the MTU of many PPP connections is 576, so if you connect to the Internet via PPP, you might want to set your machine's MTU to 576 too.
Most Ethernet networks, on the other hand, have an MTU of 1500, which is the default MTU setting for Windows 95.That's all friends

Answer:-
Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is an older network service (a protocol) that takes computer names as input and returns the numeric IP address of the
computer with that name or vice versa. WINS was designed to replace the LMHOSTS file functionality that was used previously on computers and networks utilizing
e
NetBIOS and NetBIOS names. WINS is considered to be a dynamic protocol because it allows hosts, services and users to be registered in the WINS databse on the
WINS server automatically when they connect to the network. This saved Network Administrators a great deal of time over having to update and maintain separate

Explain what is router?
e
Answer:-
A router is a device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP's
network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect, and are the critical device that keeps data flowing between networks and
.C
keeps the networks connected to the Internet. When data is sent between locations on one network or from one network to a second network the data is always seen
and directed to the correct location by the router. They accomplish his by using headers and forwarding tables to determine the best path for forwarding the data
packets, and they use protocols such as ICMP to communicate with each other and configure the best route between any two hosts. The Internet itself is a global
network connecting millions of computers and smaller networks - so you can see how crucial the role of a router is to our way of communicating and computing.

How to create VPN to connect to branch office of the same office.what would be the preliminary requirement

Answer:-
Please disregard the published answer to this question. This was not answer the interviewer looking for. The question is how do you use VPN to connect branch
office to the other office. Not asking for explanation about VPN. Whoever who wrote the response has absolutely no knowledge about MAC address and IP address.
He doesn't even know MAC addresses do not cross the segment and no knowledge about NAT (Network Address Translation) when he talks about IP
addressconflicts. Best way to connect branch offices via VPN is to have VPN concentrator (Cisco, Nortel or a SOHO VPN enabled routers) installed and create

Explain a 3-way TCP/IP Handshake?
Answer:-
To establish a connection, TCP uses a 3-way handshake. Before a client attempts to connect with a server, the server must first bind to a port to open it up for
connections: this is called a passive open. Once the passive open is established then a client may initiate an active open. To establish a connection, the 3-way (or
3-step) handshake occurs:The active open is performed by sending a SYN to the server. In response, the server replies with a SYN-ACK. Finally the client sends an
ACK back to the server. At this point, both the client and server have received an acknowledgement of the connection.

How to configure dhcp features in an switch?
Answer:-
DHCP is only available on newer IOS-based switches. For example, Catalyst 3550 and 3750 offer DHCP.
.C
Let us take Cisco 2611 router running IOS12.2
To begin, connect the router's Ethernet port to a switch, and connect the switch to a laptop, which will serve as the DHCP client.
To configure Cisco IOS DHCP, follow these steps, which include sample commands:
Configure an IP address on the router's Ethernet port, and bring up the interface. (On an existing router, you would have already done this.)
Router(config)# interface ethernet0/0
O
Router(config-if)#ip address 1.1.1.1 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Create a DHCP IP address pool for the IP addresses you want to use.
M
Router (config)# ip dhcp pool mypool
Specify the network and subnet for the addresses you want to use from the pool.
Router(dhcp-config)# network 1.1.1.0 /8Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
Specify the DNS domain name for the clients.
Router(dhcp-config)#domain-name mydomain.com
Specify the primary and secondary DNS servers.
Router(dhcp-config)#dns-server 1.1.1.10 1.1.1.11
Specify the default router (i.e., default gateway).
Router(dhcp-config)#default-router 1.1.1.1
Specify the lease duration for the addresses you're using from the pool.
Router(dhcp-config)#lease 7
Exit Pool Configuration Mode.
Router(dhcp-config)#exit
This takes you back to the global configuration prompt. Next, exclude any addresses in the pool range that you don't want to hand out.
For example, let's say that you've decided that all IP addresses up to .100 will be for static IP devices such as servers and printers. All IP addresses above .100 will be
available in the pool for DHCP clients.
Next, enter the ipconfig /renew command on the laptop to receive an IP address. After you have the IP address, enter the ipconfig /all command.

changes its information based on network traffic, reducing the amount of manual maintenance. A fixed central table lets a manager modify only one table, which is
then read by other devices. The fixed central table reduces the need to update each machine's table, as with the fixed table. Usually a dynamic table causes the fewest
problems for a network administrator, although the table's contents can change without the administrator being aware of the change.

interfaces directly with the network medium. Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different MAC layer. On networks that do not conform
to the IEEE 802 standards but do conform to the OSI Reference Model, the node address is called the Data Link Control (DLC) address. See a breakdown of the
G
seven OSI layers in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia.

Explain what is ipv6? How many octects is it?
Answer:-
IPv6 is basically the response to the fact that the world is/was running out of public ip addresses. The best example of stupidity leading to the problem is universities
handing out public IP address to students and facility on their networks. A corporation would be insane to hand out public ip addresses to staff members.IPv6 default
subnet is 255.255.255.255.0Ipv6 has 5 octets - 255.255.255.255.0Ipv4 has 4 octets - 255.255.255.0Personal OpinionIpv6 is not failure as such. I'm sure it's
implemented somewhere, but I've not seen it. The solution to running out of IP addresses is better management of IPv4 addresses. Hardware/IOS manufactures often
use 10.0.0.0 (called a '10' network) in examples of how to configure their devices. The students then return to their networks and implement their text book learning's
in their networks. BIG MISTAKE! Then these students wonder why things are all messed up on their networks. You should Class 'C' addressing on your private,

Its job is to allow the host to insert packets to the internet,when data is sent, each layer treats all the information it receives as data and adds control information to the
front of that data. This control information is called a header, and the addition of a header is called encapsulation. When data is received, the opposite procedure takes
place as each layer removes its header before passing the data to the layer above.

Question # 206
Explain what is difference between ARP and RARP?
Answer:-
The address resolution protocol (ARP) associates an IP address with the physical address. On a typical physical network (eg: LAN) each device on a link is identified
ui
by a physical or station address usually imprinted on the network interface card(NIC)Physical addresses can be changed easily, on the other hand IP addresses cannot
be changed. ARP is used to find the physical address of the node when its internet address is known.
The reverse address resolution protocol(RARP) allows host to discover its internet address when it known only its physical address. RARP works much like ARP.
de
To obtain IP address the host first broadcasts an RARP request packet containing its MAC address on the network. All hosts on the network receive the packet, but
only the server replier to the host by sending an RARP response packet containing the host's MAC and IP addresses. One limitation with RARP is that the server must
be located on the same physical network as the host

Question # 210
Can a machine with a single DNS name have multiple IP addresses? If yes then how could this occur?
Answer:-
yes it can happen. DNS, the Domain Name Service, as you would know, is used to help us resolve Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) to IP addresses. There are
different versions of DNS systems running all over the Internet, mainly ranging between Windows (which use the Windows DNS server) and Linux/Unix (using
BIND DNS services). Considering there are some very popular Web sites which serve millions of DNS queries per day e.g., Google.com, Hotmail.com, it is logical
that these domain names cannot solely rely on one single DNS server, cause if that fails, the whole domain could become unreachable! It is, for this reason, a
fault-tolerant DNS service is put in place, which shares the DNS queries amongst several different DNS servers. All servers are configured to either randomly provide
clients with IP addresses from a specific pool, or -- by using a round robin method -- cycle between the pool of IP addresses. This is what gives a DNS name multiple
IP addresses.
