CCNA Small but usefull Notes…

  • TCP Header 20-bytes without options 😀
  • UDP Header 8-bytes 😀
  • Ethernet Header 20 bytes
  • Frame Relay  Header 4-6 bytes
  • Point-to-Point Header 6 bytes
  • IP Header 20 bytes
  • EGP Protocols -like BGP- are used between AS
  • Neighbor table & Topology table in EIGRP are kept in RAM
  • Inverse ARP maps DLCI to IP
  • In MAC address the 1st 3-Bytes (24-bits) are the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier)
  • The Command #show ip ospf interface …. gives you the hello timer
  • Routing table Samples   R=Rip ,  I=IGRP , D=EIGRP , O=OSPF , C=Connected Directly , S=Static Route
  • In OSPF, DR collects & distributes the routing updates then sends them through Multicast address 224.0.0.5 to Non-DR routers
  • Non-DR routers send updates to 224.0.0.6 to the DR
  • All OSPF routers (DR & Non-DR) send hello using 224.0.0.5
  • OSPF sends hello every 10 secs and the dead time is 4 x hello = 4 x 1- = 40 secs
  • EIGRP sends hello every 5 secs (every60 seconds on WAN links) and the dead time is 3 x hello = 3 x 5 = 15 secs
  • EIGRP uses Multicast address 224.0.0.10 to send updates and hellos
  • EIGRP use DUAL to determine loopfree paths
  • EIGRP uses RTP to ensure reliable delivery of updates and uses seq. number to ensure order
  • EIGRP does not use TCP or UDP, instead it uses RTP
  • RIP broadcast every 30 secs and uses multicast address 224.0.0.9
  • IGRP broadcast routing table every 90 secs
  • TCP Ports  Telnet 23, FTP 20, 21  , DNS 53, HTTP 80, HTTPS 443, SMTP 25
  • UDP Ports DNS 53, SNMP 161, TFTP 69
  • 802.1D   STP
  • 802.1W   RSTP
  • 802.1Q    Trunk
  • 802.1ad   LACP
  • 802.1p   QoS
  • That’s enough for now i’ll continue soon, hope to see some comments to encourage me to finish it fast 😀

    If there are mistakes or any questions plz say..
