Ch. 7: Configuring and Verifying Switch Interfaces Flashcards

1
Q

port

A

In TCP and UDP, a number that is used to uniquely identify the application process that either sent (source port) or should receive (destination port) data. In LAN switching, another term for switch interface.

Q

autonegotiation

A

An IEEE standard mechanism (802.3u) with which two nodes can exchange messages for the purpose of choosing to use the same Ethernet standards on both ends of the link, ensuring that the link functions and functions well.

Q

full duplex

A

Generically, any communication in which two communicating devices can concurrently send and receive data. In Ethernet LANs, the allowance for both devices to send and receive at the same time, allowed when both devices disable their CSMA/CD logic.

Q

half duplex

A

Generically, any communication in which only one device at a time can send data. In Ethernet LANs, the normal result of the CSMA/CD algorithm that enforces the rule that only one device should send at any point in time.

Q

interface (type port-number)

A

Changes context to interface mode. The type is typically Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet. The possible port numbers vary depending on the model of switch—for example, Fa0/1, Fa0/2, and so on.

Q

interface range (type port-number - end-port-number)

A

Changes the context to interface mode for a range of consecutively numbered interfaces. The subcommands that follow then apply to all interfaces in the range.

Q

speed {10 | 100 | 1000 | auto}

A

Interface mode. Manually sets the speed to the listed speed or, with the auto setting, automatically negotiates the speed.

Q

duplex {auto | full | half}

A

Q

show mac address-table dynamic [interface type number] [vlan vlan-id]

A

Lists the dynamically learned entries in the switch’s address (forwarding) table, with subsets by interface and/or VLAN

17
Q

show mac address-table static [interface type number]

A

Lists static MAC addresses and MAC addresses learned or defined with port security

18
Q

show interfaces [type number] status

A

Lists one output line per interface (or for only the listed interface if included), noting the description, operating state, and settings for duplex and speed on each interface

19
Q

show interfaces [type number]

A

Lists detailed status and statistical information about all interfaces (or the listed interface only)

20
Q

show interfaces description

A

Displays one line of information per interface, with a two-item status (similar to the show interfaces command status), and includes any description that is configured on the interfaces
