ICMP and ping RIP and TTL upper layer protocols * lower layer protocols Internet layer protocols network access layer protocols 2 How does ICMP improve data transfer reliability in IP networks? Each router in the path reads ICMP packets and uses the information to update ro uting tables. ICMP can correct many network problems as they occur. ICMP error messages are returned to the sending device when a packet is dropped by a router.* ICMP packets report the intermediary devices that a packet passed through before failure occurred.

3 When a datagram is processed by a router on the path from source to destinatio n, what happens to the value in the TTL field?" It is increased by one. It is decreased by one. * It stays the same.

ICMP ICMP ICMP ICMP ICMP provides reliability for the TCP/IP protocol stack. is a component of the TCP/IP protocol stack. * notifies the sender that data transmission errors have occurred. * is connection-oriented. messages are propagated to all intermediate devices.

7 Which confirms the availability of a destination? (Choose two.) The source issues an echo reply after receiving an echo request from the destina tion. The destination returns an exact copy of the data sent by the source. * The source sends an echo request and receives an echo reply. * The source sends the data to the destination without receiving a reply. The destination sends an echo request and receives an echo reply. 8 Workstation 1 sent a data packet to Workstation 4. It never arrived because Fa0/ 0 interface went down on Router C. How will the devices handle this failure? Workstation 4 will send an error message to Router C and Workstation 1 that it d id not receive the packet. Router C will use ICMP to send a message back to Workstation 1 indicating that t he packet could not be delivered. * Router C discards the packet without providing notification to any device. Router C uses ICMP to correct the failure and transmits the data to Workstation 4. Workstation 1 will use ICMP to correct the problem and then notify Router C to c ontinue the transmission.

to provide a mechanism for data encryption and compression

14 At which point in the transmission process are segments numbered? when received when reassembling X before transmission while negotiating window size

15 ** 745.JPG **

What type of segment and data is shown in the graphic? a UDP segment carrying e-mail traffic a TCP segment carrying FTP traffic an IP segment carrying FTP traffic a UDP segment carrying web traffic X a TCP segment carrying web traffic an IP segment carrying e-mail traffic

1. Internetworking functions of the network layer include network addressing and best path selection for traffic. What is best-path selection? The network layer uses the IP routing table to send packets from the source network to the destination network. After the router determines which path to use, it proceeds with forwarding the packet. It takes the packet that it accepted on one interface and forwards it to another interface or port that reflects the best path to the packets destination. 2. In network addressing, one part of the address is used to identify the path u sed by the router and the other is used for ports or devices on the network. Which part of the address is used to identify the path used by the router? The router uses the network portion of the address to make path selections to pass the packet to the next router along the path. 3. Routed protocols allow routers to direct user traffic, and routing protocols work between routers to maintain path tables. Explain this key difference. Routed protocolAny network protocol that provides enough

information in its network layer address to allow a packet to be forwarded from one host to another host based on the addressing scheme. Routed protocols define the field formats within a packet. Packets are generally conveyed from end system to end system. A routed protocol uses the routing table to forward packets. The Internet Protocol (IP) is an example of a routed protocol. Routing protocolSupport a routed protocol by providing mechanisms for sharing routing information. Routing protocol messages move between the routers. A routing protocol allows the routers to communicate with other routers to update and maintain tables. TCP/IP examples of routing protocols include the following: Routing Information Protocol (RIP) ? ? ? ? Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) 4. Network discovery for distance-vector routing involves exchange of routing tables; problems can include slow convergence. What other problems can occur as a result of exchanging routing tables? Routing loops can occur if a networks slow convergence on a new configuration causes inconsistent routing entries. 5. For link-state routing, routers calculate the shortest paths to other routers ; problems can include inconsistent updates. What other problems might occur with link-state routing? Two link-state concerns exist: processing and memory requirements, and bandwidth requirements 6. Balanced hybrid routing uses attributes of both link-state and distance-vecto

r routing, and can apply paths to several protocols. What advantages does balance hybrid routing offer? Balanced hybrid routing protocols use distance vectors with more accurate metrics to determine the best paths to destination networks. However, they differ from most distance-vector protocols by using topology changes to trigger routing database updates. The balanced hybrid routing protocol converges rapidly, like the link-state protocolsVocabula ry Exercise Define the following terms as completely as you can. Refer to the online curriculum or Chapter 15 from the Cisco Networking Academy Program CCNA 1 and 2 Companion Guide, Third Edition, for help. Default routeRouting table entry that is used to direct frames for which a next hop is not explicitly listed in the routing table. DelayThe time between the initiation of a transaction by a sender and the first response received by the sender. Also the time required to move a packet from source to destination over a given path. Dynamic routingRouting that adjusts automatically to network topology or traffic changes. Also called adaptive routing. Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP) Advanced version of IGRP developed by Cisco. Provides superior convergence properties and operating efficiency, and combines the advantages of link-state protocols with those of distance-vector protocols. HeaderControl information placed before data when encapsulating that data for network transmission. Hop countRouting metric used to measure the distance between a source and a destination. RIP uses hop count as its sole metric. HopTerm describing the passage of a data packet between two network nodes (for example, between two routers). IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) IGRP was developed by Cisco to address the problems associated with routing in large, heterogeneous networks. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) Link-state, hierarchical IGP routing

algorithm proposed as a successor to RIP in the Internet community. OSPF features include least-cost routing, multipath routing, and load balancing. OSPF was derived from an early version of the ISIS protocol. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) IGP supplied with UNIX BSD systems. The most common IGP in the Internet. RIP uses hop count as a routing metric. Routing metricMethod by which a routing algorithm determines that one route is better than another. This information is stored in routing tables. Metrics in clude bandwidth, communication cost, delay, hop count, load, MTU, path cost, and reliability. Sometimes referred to simply as a metric. Routing protocolProtocol that accomplishes routing through the implementation of a specific routing algorithm. Examples of routing protocols include IGRP, OSPF, and RIP. Static routeRoute that is explicitly configured and entered into the routing table. Static routes take precedence over routes chosen by dynamic routing protocols. Copyright 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. Stub networkNetwork that has only a single connection to a router. Focus Questions 1. What does a router do? What improvements do network addresses offer over physical addresses? Routers are internetworking devices that operate at OSI Layer 3 (the network layer). They tie together, or interconnect, network segments or entire networks, as shown in Figure 10-3. They pass data packets between networks based on Layer 3 information. Network addresses have logical or hierarchical addresses, which allows for the grouping of end stations into such things as departments, floors, or buildings. 2. Distinguish between routed protocols and routing protocols. Routed protocols are used between router to direct user traffic. Any network protocol that provides enough information in its network layer

address to be forwarded from host to host based on the addressing scheme is a routed protocol. The most relevant example for this discussion is IP. Routing protocols are used only between routers to maintain routing tables. Examples are RIP and IGRP. Routing protocols support routed protocols by providing a mechanism for sharing routing information messages among routers. 3. How does multiprotocol routing enable the Internet to exist? There are many different host systems all over the world, with many different routed protocols. Multiprotocol routingby which a router can pass traffic from Novell, Apple, DEC, IP and many other networks allows these diverse hosts to communicate. 4. List and briefly describe at least five examples of routing metrics. The metrics most commonly used by routers include the following: BandwidthThe data capacity of a link DelayLength of time required to move a packet from source to destination LoadAmount of activity on a network resource such as a router or a link ReliabilityUsually refers to the error rate of each network link Hop countNumber of passages of a packet through the output port of one router TicksDelay on a data link using IBM PC clock ticks CostArbitrary value, usually based on bandwidth or other measurements, that is assigned by the network administrator 5. Briefly describe distance-vector routing. Distance vector-based routing algorithms pass periodic copies of a routing table from router to routers; each router receives a routing table from its direct neighbors.
