Inter-Switch Link (ISL) is one of the VLAN trunking protocols used for switched VLAN networks. It uses frame tagging to identify the VLAN. ISL encapsulates the original Ethernet frame, and a VLAN-ID is inserted into the ISL header.

TCP/IP and the OSI Reference Model

As illustrated in Figure 1.2, the TCP/IP model consists of four layers, each of which can have several sublayers. These layers correlate roughly to layers in the OSI reference model and define similar functions. Some of the TCP/IP layers correspond directly with layers in the OSI reference model while other span several OSI layers. The four TCP/IP layers are:

CCNA WAN Questions

Here you will find answers to WAN Questions 
Question 1:
The command frame-relay map ip 10.121.16.8 102 broadcast was entered on the router. Which of the following statements is true concerning this command?

A: This command should be executed from the global configuration mode.

B: The IP address 10.121.16.8 is the local router port used to forward data.

C: 102 is the remote DLCI that will receive the information.

D: This command is required for all Frame Relay configurations.

E: The broadcast option allows packets, such as RIP updates, to be forwarded across the PVC.


Correct Answers: E
Explanation:
The command frame-relay map ip 10.121.16.8 102 broadcast means to mapping the distal IP 10.121.16.8 102 to the local DLCI 102. When the "broadcast" keyword is included, it turns Frame Relay network as a broadcast network, which can forward broadcasts
Question 2:
Refer to the exhibit. Which statement describes DLCI 17?
wandlciunderstand1.jpg
A: DLCI 17 describes the ISDN circuit between R2 and R3.

B: DLCI 17 describes a PVC on R2. It cannot be used on R3 or R1.

C: DLCI 17 is the Layer 2 address used by R2 to describe a PVC to R3.

D: DLCI 17 describes the dial-up circuit from R2 and R3 to the service provider.


Correct Answers: C
Explanation:
DLCI stands for Data Link Connection Identifier. DLCI values are used on Frame Relay interfaces to distinguish between different virtual circuits. DLCIs have local significance because the identifier references the point between the local router and the local Frame Relay switch to which the DLCI is connected.

GNS3-Topology: CCNA & CCNP Full Mesh Topology Template

Chris sent me a lab which he says has helped him to work on about 95% of his CCNA and CCNP lab requirements. I think this is a clear sign that using Dynamips or GNS3 can be effective in a big way with exam preperation. That 5% left over can be achieved in a few ways - rack space, friends with labs or purchasing switches on ebay and link them into the virtual topology using real interfaces. Nevertheless Its great to see how much we can do without cash, space or budget (electricity bill) to prepare ourselves for these exams.
This lab is just a template lab and has no configs, routing protocols or scenarios to it. I’ll let Chris explain


I created one simple topology that seems to handle 95% of my CCNA & CCNP lab requirements.  It isn’t fancy, but it should save people an hour+ of labor (that is how long it took me to create this topology).
I was getting tired of making one lab per exercise in the Cisco Lab Portfolios and the Certification Zone lab exercises.  So I whipped up a 6 router setup that could handle the majority of the router scenarios I am using for practice.
It consists of 6 7206 routers in a full mesh topology.  Each router has 2 ethernet connections to a dynamips ’switch’, one each in VLAN1 and VLAN2.
Each router has at least 4 frame connections to the other routers in the topology.
Each router also has 1 frame connection to a frame relay switch, with full mesh DLCI between all routers.
I use dynagen, not GNS3.  I created a diagram of the topology using the freeware tool called Network Notepad (http://www.networknotepad.com/) so I can keep track of all the different connections.
Some of the CCNA & CCNP stuff calls for using the Cisco SDM.  I created one generic_startup.txt config file.  It sets the password to cisco for the router, and enables the http server.  It also sets the exec-timeout on con0 to infinite, and disables domain lookup (your pings will work quickly now).  All you have to do is bridge GNS3 or Dynagen to your physical network card, and you can use the Cisco SDM to interface with the routers.  Or SecureACS, the VPN client, VMWare images, etc….
Warning:  this topo uses a lot of RAM.  When I have all 6 routers running, my memory utilization jumps from 900mb to 3.5GB.  When all 6 routers are idle, I am seeing 10-15% CPU utilization - I have an Intel Core2 Quad processor.

CCNA Drag and Drop Questions

Question 1:
A dental firm is redesigning the network that connects its three locations. The administrator gave the networking team 192.168.164.0 to use for addressing the entire netwok. After subnetting the address, the team is ready to assign the addresses. The administrator plans to configure ip subnet-zero and use RIP v2 as the routing protocol. As a member of the networking team, you must address the network and at the same time conserver unused addresses for future growth. With those goals in mind, drag the host addresses on the left to the correct router interface. Once of the routers is partially configured. Move your mouse over a router to view its configuration. Not all of the host addresses on the left are necessary.
vlsm1

Answer:


vlsm1_solution
Explanation:
 In short, we should start calculating from the biggest network (with 16 hosts) to the smallest one using the formula 2n - 2 (n is the number of bits we need to borrow).Therefore:
  16 hosts < 25 - 2 (we need to borrow 5 bits -> /27)
  11 hosts < 24 - 2 (borrow 4 bits -> /28)
    5 hosts < 23 - 2 (borrow 3 bits -> /29)
From the available ip addresses, we see that each of them has only one suitable solution (they are 192.168.164.149/27,192.168.164.166/28 and 192.168.164.178/29)

The smallest network is the Floss S0/0 which only requires 2 hosts = 22 - 2 (need to borrow 2 bits ->/30). There are 2 suitable answers: 192.168.164.189/30 and 192.168.164.188/30 but notice that 192.168.164.188/30 is the network address so we can not use it (because 188 = 4 * 47) -> we have to choose 192.168.164.189 as the correct solution.
In fact, it is not the formal way to solve a VLSM question so I recommend you to review your CCNA book if you haven't grasped it well yet.

CCNA Troubleshooting Questions 1

Question 1:
Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator is in a campus building distant from Building B. WANRouter is hosting a newly installed WAN link on interface S0/0. The new link is not functioning and the administrator needs to determine if the correct cable has been attached to the S0/0 interface. How can the administrator accurately verify the correct cable type on S0/0 in the most efficient manner?
remoteconnect1
A. Telnet to WANRouter and execute the command show interfaces S0/0
B. Telnet to WANRouter and execute the command show processes S0/0
C. Telnet to WANRouter and execute the command show running-configuration
D. Telnet to WANRouter and execute the command show controller S0/0
E. Physically examine the cable between WANRouter S0/0 and the DCE.
F. Establish a console session on WANRouter and execute the command show interfaces S0/0

Answer: D


Explanation:
The show controller command displays the information about the physical interface itself and the type of serial cable plugged into a serial port. In this case, it should be a DTE cable that plugs into a type of data service unit (DSU).
For your understanding, below is the output of this command:

show_controllers
From the output, we notice that serial 0/0 has a DTE cable and would get its clocking from the DSU.
