Use Network Models to Explain Data Flows
Explain IP
The Internet Protocol (IP) is a network-layer

(Layer 3) protocol that contains addressing
information and some control information
that enables packets to be routed.
Explain TCP

IP supports the following services:
one-to-one
one-to-all
one-to-several
unicast
(unicast)
(broadcast)

IP multicast also supports a many-to-many service.

IP multicast requires support of other protocols (IGMP, multicast routing)
BRKCRT-1602

Transport Control Protocols
The function of the Transport Layer is to

ensure packets have no errors and that all
packets arrive and are correctly reassembled.
Two protocols are used:
Packet
Packet
User Datagram Protocol.
Applications
Provides unreliable, connectionless delivery service

using Internet Protocol.
Application programs utilizing UDP accepts full
responsibility for packet reliability including
message loss, duplication, delay, out of sequence,
multiplexing and connectivity loss.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detect
Step 1: Before an Ethernet device sends a frame on the Ethernet cable, it listens to find if
another device is already transmitting a frame (Carrier Sense).
Step 2: Once the device finds that other devices are not transmitting any frame, it starts
transmitting the frame. If two devices detect that the Ethernet cable is free at the same
time, then both will start transmitting the frames (Multiple Access). This will result in
collision.
Step 3: The Ethernet devices while transmitting the frames, also listen for the collision.
(Collision Detect).
Step 4: If they detect a collision, both the devices stop sending the frame (back off).
Step 5: They retry the transmission after a logarithmic time-out period. This process is
repeated till the frame is transmitted successfully, for a maximum of 16 times. The frame is
discarded after the 16th retry.

VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)
Cisco created this protocol to facilitate automatic VLAN distribution between

switches that use a trunk connection.
Instead of typing in all the VLANs on all switches individually, you configure
VLANs on one switch, and the same configuration will be propagated to all
switches in the VTP domain
VLAN database is synchronized (exchanged) between all the switches.
VLAN numbers and their names are exchanged. The port-toVLAN assignments are NOT exchanged
BRKCRT-1602
51
VTP Modes
VTP Transparent (Used to be default)- Transparent mode does NOT participate in the
VTP domain. This means that the transparent mode does NOT synchronize its
database with any other switch (a local database of VLANs), and it does NOT learn
VLANs propagated by a VTP server. Transparent mode WILL forward VTP messages
between other switches over trunk ports.
VTP Server (Default) - This mode allows you to add, remove, delete, and modify
VLANs to a database. All is saved in NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM memory - the one
that does not lose its content on power-down).
VTP Client - in this mode you CANNOT create VLANs in the local database. The only
way for the VTP client to learn VLANs is to send a request advertisement. Server
respond to this, by sending information about VLANs and their names used in the
domain (subset advertisement).
Off - Behaves similarly to the transparent mode but does not forward any VTP
packets.

57
Etherchannel Advantages
Etherchannel is often used between the switches in order to increase

the capacity of the connection between them by performing a load
balancing of the frames traversing the channel
In case of an active link failure the next link is going to transmit the
packets with almost no delay.
The industry standard name is link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad).

The Routing Process

To forward a packet, the router needs at minimum, two pieces of
information
Destination address
IP and subnet mask of the destination
Must be reachable
Pointer to the destination
Directly connected to the router
Address of a directly connected router (next-hop)
The router will match the most specific match it can using the Longest
match rule
BRKCRT-1602
71
Administrative Distance
Used in Best Path selection process when multiple routes exist for the same
subnet learned from multiple sources
Believability of the routing information
Each routing protocol is assigned a value of 0 255
If the administrative distance is 255, the router does not believe the source of
that route and does not install the route in the routing table

Virtual Device Context (VDC)

VDC Use Cases:
VDC Benefits:
Isolating Security Domains
Divide a single N7K into
multiple logical switches
Separating Networks
Each logical switch configured
Collapsing Architecture Layers
and managed as if it were

separate physical switch
LAN/SAN Isolation
Flexible operation/distribution
of resources
Hardware & software fault
isolation
94
BRKCRT-1602
Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV)

L2 Extension / DCI
Failure isolation & site independence
OTV is an overlay solution that needs to be
deployed only at specific edge devices.
Multihoming, loop prevention, load balancing,
multipathing, are all capabilities are included in a
single control protocol & single configuration
Optimized & distributed state: OTV does not create
nailed up tunnels; the only state maintained is that
of a MAC-address routing table.

vPC Terminology
Core1
vPC peer - a vPC switch, one of a pair
vPC member port - one of a set of ports (port channels) that

form a vPC
vPC - the combined port channel between the vPC peers

and the downstream device
vPC peer-link (vPC_PL) - synchronize state between vPC

peer devices (must be 10GE port-channel)
agg1a
vPC peer-keepalive link (vPC_PKL) - detect the status of

vPC peer devices

CFS - Cisco Fabric Services protocol, used for state

synchronization and configuration validation between vPC

Implementation Best Practices
Utilize diverse 10GE modules to form vPC peer-link

Must be either M or F, can be mixed on each side
Single 10GE module implementation is supported but not
recommended
Implement physical vPC peer-link ports in dedicated rate-mode

Shared rate-mode is supported but not recommended
Use a dedicated link for vPC peer keepalive link and assign it to a
separate VRF
If mgmt0 interface is used as vPC keepalive link, it should be
connected to an OOB mgmt network
Back-to-back mgmt0 connection should only be used in single
supervisor implementation
Do not use SVI interface between vPC peer-link as vPC
keepalive link
