c.doesn't stop broadcast storm ALL Interview .com

Kushal Singh Bisht

Answer

Answer: C Even though the 5-4-3 rule specifies you can only have 4 bridges in a network, that is not really adisadvantage. The disadvantage to bridging is that it filters by MAC address and cannot create separate networks like a router can. This means that if a broadcast storm was to take place a bridge will forward the frames.

Answer

In computing, promiscuous mode or promisc mode is a configuration of a network card that makes the card pass all traffic it receives to the central processing unit rather than just packets addressed to it a feature normally used for packet sniffing. Each packet includes the hardware (Media Access Control) address. When a network card receives a

packet, it checks if the address is its own. If not, the card normally drops the packet. But in promiscuous mode, the card doesn't drop the packet, thus allowing the computer to read all packets.

what is the difference in the two.

Because DTE basically contained the router serial interface and DCE contained the isp router end ,and two dte cannot communicate directly atleast one DCE would be there for communication,and dce provide clocking for synchronization,thats why we use back to back serial cable in industry its one end behave as DTE and its other end behave as DCE. ALL Interview .com

Naveen Kumar Sharma

Answer

Because all Cisco router are by default DTE and it is the receiver side(RECEIVING THE CLOCK PULSE FROM DCE) of serial cable,basically connected the router serial interface, and DCE basically connnected the isp router end ,it is sender side(sending the clock pulse to DTE) of serial cable and 2 DTE Cannot communicate directly atleast one DCE would be there for communication

It's also worth noting that today's active hubs are advertised as "hubs" or "repeaters". It is very rare you will see a hub with the word "active" on it! These hubs usually come in configurations of 4, 8, 16 and 24 ports, providing link & activity leds (lights) to show which devices are currently connected, powered on and transmitting or receiving data.

Question extended access-list

What is difference between standard and

Rank Answer Posted By

Question Submitted By :: Tarun Jhamb This Interview Question Asked @ HCL , Vipro, Lab Exam I also faced this Question!! Answer
standard IP access list provides basic packet filtering abilities, based on the source IP address of a packet only. As a general rule, apply standard IP access lists close to the destination network to which you wish to permit or deny access.Standard IP access lists fall into the numerical range 1-99 Unlike standard IP access lists (which only allow you to filter packets based on their source IP address), extended IP access lists allow a much more granular level of control. Extended IP access lists allow filtering not only on source addresses, but also on destination addresses, protocols, and even applications, based on their port number. For example, you might choose to permit or deny a group of hosts from accessing a particular server, limit access to a telnet server to only a single host, or similar.Extended IP access lists are identified through their use of the 100-199 numerical range.

Answer

Naveen Kumar Sharma

Answer

standard access list has range area of 099 extended has 100-199.

Harsh Singh

Answer

Standard access list basically used to filter packets by IP address & is basically close to the destination router.(1-99) Extended access list is used to filter packets based on address ,protocol & port no. dedicated for particular services.(100-199)

Manoranjan

Answer

When you enable standard access-list it will block entire thing but extended access-list can block every port like ftp,telnet etc. Standard range is 1-99 and extended range is 100-199.

Answer

Difference between Standard ACL & Extended ACL a) In Standard ACL, filtering is based on source IP address. where as in extended ACL, filtering is bases on Source IP address, Destination IP address, Protocol Type, Source Port Number & Destination Port Number. b) Standard ACL are used to block particular host or sub network. where as Extended ACL is used to block particular services. c)Standard ACL is implemented as possible closer to destination. where as Extended ACL is implemented as possible closer to source. d) Standard ACL is created from 1 - 99 & extended range 1300 - 1999. where as Extended ACL is created from 100 - 199 & extended range 2000 - 2699. e) In Standard ACL, two communication will be blocked, where as in Extended ACL, one way communication will be blocked. f) In Standard ACL, all services will be blocked.

What is proxy-ARP and how it is used and

Rank Answer Posted By

Question Submitted By :: Tarun Jhamb I also faced this Question!! Answer

Proxy ARP (RFC 1027) is a way to make a machine physically located on one network appear to be logically part of a different physical network connected to the same router/firewall. Typically it allows us to hide a machine with a public IP address on a private network behind a router, and still have the machine appear to be on the public network "in front of" the router. The router "proxys" ARP requests and all network traffic to and from the hidden machine to make this fiction possible. Consider a router with two interface cards, one connected to a public network PUBNET and one connected to a private network PRIVNET. We want to hide a server machine on the PRIVNET network but have it accessible from the PUBNET network. The IP address of the server machine lies in the PUBNET network, even though we are placing the machine on the PRIVNET network behind the router. By enabling proxy ARP on the router, any machine on the PUBNET network that issues an ARP "who has" request for the server's MAC address will get a proxy ARP reply from the router containing the router's MAC ALL Interview .com

Jerald

address. This tells machines on the PUBNET network that they should be sending packets destined for the server via the router. The router forwards the packets from the machines on the PUBNET network to the server on the PRIVNET network. Similarly, when the server on the PRIVNET network issues a "who has" request for any machines on the PUBNET network, the router provides its own MAC address via proxy ARP. This tells the server to send packets for machines on the PUBNET network via the router. The router forwards the packets from the server on the PRIVNET network to the machines on the PUBNET network. The proxy ARP provided by the router allows the server on the PRIVNETnetwork to appear to be on the PUBNET network. It lets the router pass ARP requests and other network packets in both directions between the server machine and the PUBNET network, making the server machine appear to be connected to the PUBNET network even though it is on the PRIVNET network hidden behind the router.

How ICMP is used in ping and traceroute

Rank Answer Posted By

Question Submitted By :: Vini I also faced this Question!! Answer

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) pings and traceroute on the PIX Firewall are handled differently based on the version of PIX and ASA code. Inbound ICMP through the PIX/ASA is denied by default. Outbound ICMP is permitted, but the incoming reply is denied by default. ** ASA/PIX does not support ICMP redirects, because it does not support asymmetric routing ALL Interview .com

it is used in finding out the error message like if data gram is not reaching to the destination.It is reliable protocol as compared to Internet protocol.

Sachin

Answer

ICMP works on echo-request n echo-reply in network communications devices echorequest/reply's open open in network security devices echorequest/reply is close as inbound traffic is restricted by default. so by this process of echo-request n echo-reply the PING and traceroute works and gives the information that the channel is established.
