ROUTERS
What are the basic components of routers?
Latest answer: Components of Router: Internal components: ROM:- Used to store the routers bootstrap details, operating system software. Flash memory: - holds the operating systems images. The content is retained when the router is restarted..................
What is Routing table?
Latest answer: A routing table stores the routes of the various nodes in a network. Nodes can be any electronic device connected to the network. The table is usually stored in a router or the network computer as a database or file.................
What is Routing Protocols?
Latest answer: Routing protocols are used to assist in achieving the basic purpose of routing. They specify the routers the method to communicate with each other. They help the routers select the best possible path between nodes....................
What is Distance Vector Routing Protocols?
Latest answer: The main goal of Distance Vector Routing Protocols Is to find out the best path for he data packet to reach the destination. Distance here could be the hops..................
Describe the basics of internet routing.
Latest answer: When a source sends a packet to a destination, this packet has a specific path or route it follows. Different routing protocols are used to find the shortest path to the destination. The protocols maintain routing tables.................
VPN
What is Trusted and Untrusted Networks? Latest answer: Trusted networks: Such Networks allow data to be transferred transparently. The machines using a trusted network are usually administered by an Administrator to ensure that private and secured data is not leaked....................
What is VPN? Latest answer: Virtual Private network is a network that used the public telecommunication infrastructure. This means that it used public wires to connect the nodes...................
What are the different types of VPN? Latest answer: Remote Access VPN:- Also called as Virtual Private dial-up network (VPDN) is mainly used in scenarios where remote access to a network becomes essential...................
What are the different authentication methods used in VPNs? Latest answer: The authentication method uses an authentication protocol. The methods are: EAP authentication method: Extensible authentication protocol authenticates remote access connection.........................
Tunneling
What is Tunneling? Latest answer: Tunneling is a mechanism provided to transfer data securely between two networks. The data is split into smaller packets and passed through the tunnel................ Read answer What are voluntary and compulsory tunnels? Latest answer: Voluntary Tunneling Users computer is an end point of the tunnel and acts as tunnel client. Here the client or user issues a request to configure and create a voluntary tunnel................. Read answer Explain static and dynamic tunnels.
Latest answer: Tunnels that are created manually are static tunnels. Tunnels that are auto discovered are dynamic tunnels. In dynamic tunneling, tcp connections can be checked dynamically.............
Subneting
Describe the concept of Subneting. Latest answer: Subneting is a process of breaking the network into smaller units. These units care called as subnets. Here a subnet could be several machines in a single LAN...............
Explain the advantages of using Subneting.
Latest answer: Advantages of using Subneting: Easier network management and trouble shooting, Routing tables size is reduced which means faster network transfers...................
What is custom Subneting? Latest answer: Subnets that can be customized; i.e. modifying the dividing point between subnet ID and host ID to suit the needs of our network. The subnet mask that we use when creating a customized.................
Explain the importance of increasing and decreasing subnet bits. Latest answer: Adding 1s as a bit means increasing the subnets and decreasing the hosts. Removing or decreasing 1s means decreasing subnets and increasing hosts..............
Why do we need a subnet mask?: A subnet mask allows identification of host part and
network part of an IP address. Subnet mask can be used to find if an IP address is present on a subnet or not..............
In networking, the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a data link protocol commonly used in establishing a direct connection between two networking nodes. It can provide connection authentication, transmission encryption (using ECP, RFC 1968), and compression. PPP is used over many types of physical networks including serial cable, phone line, trunk line, cellular telephone, specialized radio links, and fiber optic links such as SONET. PPP is also used over Internet access connections (now marketed as "broadband"). Internet service providers (ISPs)
have used PPP for customer dial-up access to the Internet, since IP packets cannot be transmitted over a modem line on their own,
