DATACOM ASSIGNMENT

1. According to TCP/IP model identify which layer the below given protocols belong to: -

Application: SNMP: - collects network related information.

Data link: HDLC: -Layer 2 encapsulation protocol, cisco proprietary.

Transport: UDP: -User datagram protocol (unreliable but faster delivery of data).

Transport: TCP: -Reliable delivery of data.

Application: SMTP: -Simple mail transfer protocol, used for mail delivery.

Data link:- PPP: -encapsulation protocol, open standard.

Application: FTP: -File transfer protocol, used for transferring files.

Internet: IP: Internet protocol.

Internet: ICMP: Internet control message protocol, used for testing network connectivity.

Internet: IGMP: used for management of multicast group.

Application: SFTP: Secure file transfer protocol, used for transfer of files in secured way.

Application: Telnet: Used for creating telnet sessions

2. Identify the number of collision and broadcast domains

No of broadcast domain:---4

3. Given an IP address of 100.100.100.100 and knowing the client needs 21 subnets.

Deduce the following

a. The class of the IP address _______CLass A___________

b. The default subnet mask is _______255.0.0.0___________

c. The network address is _______100.0.0.0 ______________

d. The required subnet mask is ___255.255.248.0______________.

e. The maximum number of subnets that are available with this subnet mask

is__32___

f. List all available subnets. 100.100.0.0/21 ~100.100.248.0/21

g. The subnet that this IP address falls on is ______100.100.93.0_____________

h. The host address ___0.0.7.100____________________________________

i. The range of host IP addresses that occur on this subnet is 100.100.96.1~100.100.103.254_____

j. The maximum number of hosts that can occur on this subnet is __2046___

k. The class of this IP address is______A_________

4. Say you are given a Class C subnet such as 200.200.200.0/24 and need 4 networks

a. Network A with up to 40 hosts--- 200.200.200.65 - 200.200.200.126

b. Network B with up to 50 hosts-- 200.200.200.1 - 200.200.200.62

c. Network C and D with 10 hosts each--- 200.200.200.129 - 200.200.200.142

Use VLSM and suggest appropriate allocations such that resources are conserved.

5. Questions on switches, VLAN and VTP

a. When a new trunk link is configured on an IOS-based switch, which VLANs

are allowed over the link?

ii. No VLANs are allowed, they should be explicitly configured

iii. Only configured VLANs are allowed

iv. Only extended VLANs are allowed by default

b. Static VLANs are being used on the Company network. What is true about

static VLANs?

i. Devices use DHCP to request their VLAN

Sensitivity: Internal & Restricted

ii. Attached devices are unaware of any VLANs--Correct

iii. Devices are assigned to VLANs based on their MAC addresses

iv. Devices are in the same VLAN regardless of which port they attach to

c. Pick the trunking protocols used on a trunk link between two Cisco

switches?

i. PPP

ii. ISL--Correct

iii. 802.1x

iv. 802.11

v. 802.1Q--Correct

d. When the source and the destination can be reached through the same port

of a switch, the switch

i. Floods the frame--Correct

ii. Forwards the frame

iii. Filters the frame

e. The VTP functions at which layer of the OSI Model?

ii. Data link layer--Correct

iii. Network layer

iv. Session layer

Switch4-Fa0/2

Switch5-Fa0/3

Designated ports

Switch3-Fa0/3, Fa0/2 and Fa0/1

Switch5-Fa0/1

c. None-designated ports

Switch4-Fa0/1

Switch5-Fa0/2

7. Etherchannel, LACP and PgP

iv. Channel port

b. Which of these is a method for negotiating an Etherchannel?

i. PAP

ii. CHAP

iii. LAPD

iv. LACP--Correct

c. Which of the following is a valid Etherchannel negotiation mode combination

between two switches?

i. PAgP auto, PAgP auto

ii. PAgP auto, PAgP desirable--Correct

iii. on, PAgP auto

Sensitivity: Internal & Restricted

iv. LACP passive, LACP passive

8. Match the following and fill in the last column

1 RIPv2 updates --------------- 224.0.0.9

2 Supports subnetting and authentication ---------------- RIPv2

3 Classful routing protocol ---------------- RIPv1

4 RIPv1 updates --------------- 255.255.255.255

5 RIPv1 and RIPv2 messages ------------------ UDP port no.520

For adjacency 8 parameters should match....but in 9th qs hello interval and n/w mask is mismatched
due to which adjacency is not established
