Static Routing Lecture

This collection of flashcards covers key vocabulary and concepts related to static routing and network configurations as outlined in the lecture notes.

Directly Connected Networks

Networks that are physically connected to a router's interface.

Stub Network

A network accessed by a single route.

Static Route

A route manually configured on a router which does not change unless manually updated.

Next Hop Address

The IP address of the next router in the path towards the destination.

Route Summarization

The process of representing multiple routes as a single summary route.

Default Route

A static route that is used when no specific match to a destination network exists.

DTE

Data Terminal Equipment, typically the device connected to the data circuit.

DCE

Data Circuit-terminating Equipment, which provides clocking and connects to the DTE.

Clock Rate Command

A command issued on a DCE interface that defines the clock rate for the connection.

Routing Table

A data table maintained by a router that lists the routes to particular network destinations.

Subnet Mask

A number that divides an IP address into network and host portions.

ARP Cache

A table that stores IP addresses and their corresponding MAC addresses.

ICMP Echo

A network utility used to test the reachability of a host on an IP network.

EIA/TIA Standards

Telecommunication standards for connecting devices over serial connections.

Directly Connected Networks are networks that are physically connected to a router's interface.

True

A Stub Network is a network accessed by multiple redundant routes.

False

Static Routes automatically adjust their path if a change occurs in the network topology.

False

The Next Hop Address is the IP address of the immediate previous router in the path.

False

Route Summarization is the process of combining multiple routes into a single summary route.

True

A Default Route is utilized only when a more specific route for a destination network is present.

False

DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) is typically the device that provides clocking for a serial connection.

False

DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment) is responsible for providing clocking to the connected Data Terminal Equipment (DTE).

True

The Clock Rate Command is issued on a DTE interface to define the clock rate for the connection.

False

A Routing Table primarily stores IP addresses and their corresponding MAC addresses for local network segments.

False

A Subnet Mask partitions an IP address into two parts: the network portion and the host portion.

True

The ARP Cache maintains a record of IP addresses and their associated physical (MAC) addresses.

True

ICMP Echo is a network utility primarily used for testing the reachability of a host on an IP network.

True

EIA/TIA Standards specify the electrical and mechanical characteristics for connecting devices using fiber optic cables.

False
