Unit 7 Lab Q&A
1. Define subnetting. Subnetting groups devices into a contiguous range of IP addresses
2. Define supernetting. Supernetting is a way to aggregate multiple IP addresses in the same class
3. Define network resiliency Maintaining acceptable levels of service even with faults and operational challenges
4. How is VRRP utilized to ensure network redundancy? Increases availability of routing paths via automatic default gateway selections
5. Name 3 dynamic routing protocols that can be used to distribute routing information RIP, EIGRP, OSPF
6. What is meant by the term CIDR? Classless Inter-Domain Routing, same as supernetting
7. What protocol can be used to eliminate loops in the network? Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
8. What is the function of GVRP? Allows for the control of VLANS defined in IEEE 802.1Q
9. What is the function of the LACP? Port trunks perform the same functions as static trunks
10. What does RIP stand for and what is its function? Routing Information Protocol, prevents routing loops by limiting hops from source to destination
11. What is the command to enable RIP on a CISCO router and what mode must be enabled to execute the command? Router(config)# router rip Router(config-router)# network ip-address
