What is used to duplicate all traffic on one port in a switch to another switch port?
To duplicate all traffic on one port to another port in a switch, a feature called "port mirroring" or "SPAN" (Switched Port Analyzer) is used. This feature allows the network administrator to configure the switch to send a copy of all the packets from a specified port or VLAN to another designated port for monitoring or analysis. It is commonly used for network monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance analysis.
What else can I help you with?
What will be the effect of executing the following command on port F01 switch (config-if) switch port port-security mac-address 00C0.35F0.8301?
Executing the command switch port port-security mac-address 00C0.35F0.8301 on a port (F01) in interface configuration mode enables port security and sets a specific MAC address as the allowed device for that port. This means only the device with the MAC address 00C0.35F0.8301 will be permitted to send traffic through the port. If another device attempts to connect, the switch will either drop the traffic or shut down the port, depending on the configured violation action. This enhances network security by preventing unauthorized access.
What is a cloning port?
A cloning port is a specialized endpoint on a switch that allows network administrators to replicate or copy network traffic from one port to another. This is often used for troubleshooting, network monitoring, or security analysis purposes. By using a cloning port, administrators can monitor and analyze data without disrupting the flow of traffic on the network.
Which is more efficient for networking traffic a switch or a hub Why?
A switch. Each port has a separate path to each of the other ports on the switch. On a hub, all the ports are tied together into 1 single port. Think of a switch as an 4 lane freeway with 8 entrances and exits; a hub is a one lane highway with the same 8 entrances and exits. It can pass data from only one port to another port- switch can connect 4 ports to the other 4 ports (or 8 to 8 or 16 to 16, you get the idea) A switch is quite a bit more complicated AND is generally more expensive: between 20% and 300% more than a hub with the same number of ports BUT it's very useful on a busy network (business especially.)
Which technology will allow you to forward a copy of all inbound and outbound frames from one switch prot to another switch port?
Port Mirroring
What does a workgroup switch of a network do?
The Switch by paying attention to the traffic that comes across it, it can "learn" where particular addresses are. For example, if it sees traffic from machine A coming in on port 2, it now knows that machine A is connected to that port and that traffic tomachine A needs to only be sent to that port and not any of the others. The net result of using a switch over a hub is that most of the network traffic only goes where it needs to rather than to every port. On busy networks this can make the network significantly faster.
What is an uplink port?
An Uplink Port is a port on a connectivity device, such as a hub or switch, used to connect it to another connectivity device.
When port security is used on a switch which violation mode will cause an snmp trap to be sent and traffic to be dropped when the number of secure MAC address for a port is reached?
Port security is used on a switch and the number of secure MAC addresses for a port is reached, the violation mode that will typically cause an SNMP trap to be sent and traffic to be dropped is the "Shutdown" or "Protect" violation mode.
What is the purpose of the switch command switch port access vlan 99?
the switchport access vlan 99 command is used to designate a specific VLAN for a switch port, allowing you to control how traffic on that port is treated and segregated from traffic on other ports and VLANs in the network. This is a fundamental configuration step in building and managing VLANs within a network infrastructure.
What does switchport port-security protect command do?
The switchport port-security protect command is used in Cisco switches to enable port security on a specific switch port. When this command is configured, the port will allow traffic only from MAC addresses that are already learned and stored in the port's memory. If an unauthorized MAC address tries to connect, the switch will drop the traffic from that address, effectively preventing unauthorized access while allowing legitimate traffic through. This security measure helps to mitigate risks associated with MAC flooding and unauthorized devices.
Which is more effcient for networking traffic a switch or a hub why?
Switch because it is at least a little intelligent and can send data packets to the correct port.-----------A switch also regenerates the network signal, where a hub does not.
What hub port do you put the cable in to expand a network?
If you connecting a hub to another device then the cable must be placed in the uplink port, or a port that can switch between a client port and an uplink port.
What needs to be configured in order to have effective port monitoring and see all traffic on the network?
This feature is named "port mirror" or SPAN. You need to get a manageable switch to have this feature. You also need to setup a passive monitoring program(ie: WFilter) to monitor the traffic.
