Cards

Term
What are the contents of the Frame Relay LAPF header?
Definition

DLCI - 10 bits FECN - 1 bit BECN - 1 bit DE - 1 bit

 

 

Term
What is the DLCI?
Definition
Data Link Connection Identifier -- 10 bit address.
Term
Are DLCIs local or global?
Definition

Term
What are the two kinds of FR encapsulation headers?
Definition

Cisco, IETF

 

R1(config)#interface serial0/1

R1(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay [ietf]

R1(config-if)#frame-relay lmi-type [cisco | ansi | q33a]

Term
What field identifies the L3 protocol in the IETF FR encapsulation header?
Definition
Network Layer Protocol ID (NLPID)
Term
What protocol suite provides global addressing in Frame Relay?
Definition
LMI (local management interface)
Also provides: inverse ARP, multicasting, virtual circuits.
Term
What are three LMI types?
Definition
Cisco
Ansi
ITU
Term
What is the LMI DLCI for Cisco LMI?
Definition
Cisco LMI DLCI is 1023
Term
What is the LMI DLCI for ANSI and ITU LMI?
Definition
ANSI/ITU LMI DLCI = 0
Term
What does LMI do?
Definition

LMI sends status messages on DLCI 0 (ANSI/ITU) and 1023 (Cisco) for:

global addressing

Multicasting

inverse arp

Term
What DLCIs are allowed in Cisco LMI?
Definition
16 - 1007
Term
How many total DLCIs are available for use in Cisco LMI?
Definition
(1007 - 16) = 992 total
Term
How many DLCIs are available when using ANSI and ITU?
Definition
992 - 16 = 976 total
Term
How many LMIs total are allowed on a single interface?
Definition
Depends on MTU. For MTU = 1500, 296 DLCIs per interface.
Term
How often are LMI messages sent?
Definition
Every 10 seconds.
Term
How does a switch respond to a DTE's LMI Status inquiry message?
Definition
With a Status message that contains the DLCIs on defined VCs.
Term
What does every 6th status message contain?
Definition
A complete status update.
Term
When does a FR router consider the interface dead?
Definition
After 3 missed LMIs.
Term
How are LMIs enabled/disabled on a FR interface?
Definition
LMIs are enabled/disabled using "keepalive" / "no keepalive"
Term
Is split horizon enabled or disabled by default on FR interfaces?
Definition
Disabled -- multiple VCs might terminate on a single physical interface.
Term
Is split horizon enabled or disabled on FR sub-interfaces?
Definition
Enabled.
Term
When would you use static DLCI to IP mapping?
Definition
When the far-end does not support inverse ARP or is not directly connected.
Term
On what types of interfaces can static DLCI to IP mappings be configured?
Definition
Physical and multipoint.
Term
Why can't you use static DLCI to IP mapping on point to point interfaces?
Definition
Because only a single DLCI is allowed for point to point interfaces -- all outgoing traffic uses that DLCI.
Term
What triggers FR Inverse ARP?
Definition
LMI status messages.
Term
What happens to Inverse ARP if LMI is disabled?
Definition
Inverse ARP won't work without LMI.
Term
How does Inverse ARP work with LMI?
Definition
LMI Status messages advertise DLCIs (L2 addresses). Routers then use Inverse ARP to query for L3 (IP) addresses associated with each DLCI.
Term
Who usually sets the DE bit?
Definition
the sending router (it knows what traffic is important)
Term
Who sets BECN?
Definition
Typically FR switches but can also be receiving router.
Term
What does a router do when BECN received?
Definition
Shaper slows down by 25% until mincir.
Term
What happens after 16 Tc intervals without a BECN?
Definition
Shaping rate grows by 1/16 during each Tc until max rate is achieved.
Term
What are the default for FR CIR and minCIR?
Definition
CIR = 56 K
minCir = .5 * CIR
Term
How does CIR related to Bc and Tc?
Definition
CIR = Bc/Tc
Term
Name 3 valid serial connectors
Definition
EIA/TIA-232
EIA-530
X.21
Term
What is the maximum recommended CPU load if you are going to use compression?
Definition
65%
Term
What kind of compression uses the most memory?
Definition
Predictor
Term
What is the formula for the number of links required for a full-mesh FR network?
Definition
Links = N * (N - 1) / 2
Term
When can the "if-needed" keyword by used with "ppp authentication chap"
Definition
Only with TACACS or TACACS+. Allows you to skip authentication if the user has already authenticated by going through the ASCII login procedure
Term
Name the four configuration options for FR end-to-end keepalives.
Definition
Bidirectional (send and receive)
Request (send only)
Reply (receive only)
Passive-reply (receive side only, no timers)
Term
Is FR end-to-end keepalive part of LMI?
Definition
No, end-to-end keepalive is a Cisco-only enhancement that is sent on the data DLCI.
Term
Which compression algorithm uses more CPU?
Definition
Stacker
Term

Given the following, what are Bc Be and Tc?

policy-map SHAPE-ALL

 class default

 shape average 96000

Definition

"Class Based Shaping"

 

If rate < = 320kbps:

Bc = Be = 8000

Tc = Bc/rate = 83 msec

Term
What does FRF.9 define?
Definition

FRF.9 defines payload compression for Frame-relay.

Uses LZS compression algorithm.

Term
What does FRF.12 define?
Definition
FR fragmentation
Term
How is legacy FRF.12 config different from interface FRF.12 config?
Definition

Legacy FRF.12:

1) is configured in a FRTS map-class

2) requires FRTS

3) requires a queueing tool on shaped packets.

 

Interface FRF.12:

1) is configured on the interface

2) creates dual FIFO if no queueing

Term
Does predictor or stacker compression user more memory?
Definition
Predictor.
"To predict the future, you must remember the past."
Term
By how much does RTP header compression reduce the size of the header?
Definition
From 40 bytes to 2 or 4 for IP/UDP/RTP header.
Term
How is PPP framing related to HDLC?
Definition
PPP basically uses the same header as HDLC, adding a standardized protocol field and some padding.
Term
What four things does PPP LCP provide?
Definition
1) Link Quality Monitoring
2) Looped Link Detection
3) L2 load balancing (MLPPP)
4) Authentication (CHAP,PAP)
Term

What is the fragment size for the following:

int multilink 0

bandwidth 256

ppp multilink

ppp multilink group 1

ppp multilink interleave

ppp multilink fragment-delay 10

Definition

Fragment size = BW * fragment-delay

= 256000 bps * .01 sec

= 2560 bits

= 320 bytes

Term
You want your router to respond to any BECNs received on the VC by slowing the rate at which it sends traffic. What command configures your router to do this?

A frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn

B frame-relay becn respond

C frame-relay traffic-shape becn

D frame-relay traffic-shape becn fecn
Definition
A frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn
Term
What policy map class configuration mode commands can result in your router sending Q.922 test frames?
Definition
shape fecn-adapt

A Frame Relay service provider can mark the Forward Explicit Congestion Notification (FECN) bit in a frame to tell the receiver to generate a Q.922 test frame directed toward the sender.
