What is RIP in a network?

rip is short for routing information protcol

it is a routing protocol that shared routing tables from 1 router to another to a maximum of 16 hops of 16 routers

What is a protocol mismatch?

If the sending and receiving protocols are different, then you have a mismatch. Think of a speaker using French but the receiver only understanding Spanish. They will not be able to understand each other, and this is what happens with network protocols.

They can see the communication but have no clue about the content or what to do with the request.

What are three fundemental functions of the physical layer?

  • Definition of Hardware Specifications: The details of operation of cables, connectors, wireless radio transceivers, network interface cards and other hardware devices are generally a function of the physical layer (although also partially the data link layer; see below).
  • Encoding and Signaling: The physical layer is responsible for various encoding and signaling functions that transform the data from bits that reside within a computer or other device into signals that can be sent over the network.
  • Data Transmission and Reception: After encoding the data appropriately, the physical layer actually transmits the data, and of course, receives it. Note that this applies equally to wired and wireless networks, even if there is no tangible cable in a wireless network!
  • Topology and Physical Network Design: The physical layer is also considered the domain of many hardware-related network design issues, such as LAN and WAN topology.

What is the purpose of Copy run start command on a Cisco router?

It is short for copy running-config starting-config. Running-config is the configuration of the router as you have modified it and which is currently operating, held in RAM (gone after a reboot), and you copy it to the starting-config which is in NVRAM and gets loaded by the router when it boots/

So essentially you're saving what you have now to the persistent storage so your router will still work after a reboot.

What is Passing Score For CCDE LAB?

The passing score is 80%. In previous versions of the exam, that was a strict 80% on every section; however, in Version 5 of the CCIE Lab exam, that is treated as a weighted average passing score. This should cause candidates to relax a little knowing that if you come "that close" in Troubleshooting, you still have a chance to save the day in the Configuration section.

How much storage does Amazon have?

Not sure about the exact capacity but Amazon Web Services is leading name in storage industry

What is the difference between promiscuous mode and inline mode?

Inline is used to look at a specific location such as between two routers, where as promiscuous mode captures traffic using a capture device such as a hub or switch, this way all traffic that goes through the device is monitored.
