WEBVTT 0:00:09.540000 --> 0:00:14.560000 Hello and welcome to the second video in our CCNA Exam Assessment Series 0:00:14.560000 --> 0:00:16.280000 for Network Fundamentals. 0:00:16.280000 --> 0:00:21.420000 This section is about network topology architectures and WANs. 0:00:21.420000 --> 0:00:26.440000 Let's go ahead and jump into our first question. 0:00:26.440000 --> 0:00:32.800000 In a three-tier campus land design, which category of switch forwards 0:00:32.800000 --> 0:00:36.160000 traffic between user devices? 0:00:36.160000 --> 0:00:46.140000 The correct answer are access switches, answer D. 0:00:46.140000 --> 0:00:51.080000 Question number two. 0:00:51.080000 --> 0:00:54.100000 Fill in the blanks in the sentence below. 0:00:54.100000 --> 0:00:59.900000 A two-tier campus design typically implements a blank topology at the 0:00:59.900000 --> 0:01:10.360000 access layer and a blank topology at the distribution layer. 0:01:10.360000 --> 0:01:13.160000 The correct answer is answer A. 0:01:13.160000 --> 0:01:18.260000 A star topology is implemented at the access layer with the switch forming 0:01:18.260000 --> 0:01:22.580000 the central point of the star and the various endpoints connected to that 0:01:22.580000 --> 0:01:27.940000 switch being the endpoints of the star and a partial mesh topology is 0:01:27.940000 --> 0:01:30.220000 implemented at the distribution layer. 0:01:30.220000 --> 0:01:34.480000 Partial mesh because the distribution layer switches do not all connect 0:01:34.480000 --> 0:01:38.820000 to each other nor do they necessarily all connect to the access layer 0:01:38.820000 --> 0:01:47.780000 switches. Question three. 0:01:47.780000 --> 0:01:52.740000 Which of the following answers provides an alternative name for a collapsed 0:01:52.740000 --> 0:01:56.040000 core campus network design? 0:01:56.040000 --> 0:02:01.540000 The correct answer is A. 0:02:01.540000 --> 0:02:08.260000 A collapsed core is also called a two-tier design. 0:02:08.260000 --> 0:02:18.480000 Question four. What role of switch exists in a three-tier campus design 0:02:18.480000 --> 0:02:22.880000 that does not exist in a two-tier campus design? 0:02:22.880000 --> 0:02:29.920000 The correct answer is a core switch. 0:02:29.920000 --> 0:02:34.400000 A core switch does not exist in a two -tier campus design but it does exist 0:02:34.400000 --> 0:02:43.020000 in a three-tier question five. 0:02:43.020000 --> 0:02:52.160000 Match the two-tier topology designs with their correct definitions. 0:02:52.160000 --> 0:03:06.300000 And here is the correct pairing of the design name with its definition. 0:03:06.300000 --> 0:03:16.060000 Question six. Which of the following statements are true about spine and 0:03:16.060000 --> 0:03:19.340000 leaf network topology designs? 0:03:19.340000 --> 0:03:26.520000 And you must select three correct answers. 0:03:26.520000 --> 0:03:29.780000 And here are your correct answers. 0:03:29.780000 --> 0:03:33.840000 Each spine switch must connect every leaf switch. 0:03:33.840000 --> 0:03:43.580000 So if we draw this out, if we have a couple of spine switches here, and 0:03:43.580000 --> 0:03:51.900000 a few leaf switches down here, like this, with the leaf switches connected 0:03:51.900000 --> 0:03:53.740000 to the endpoints. 0:03:53.740000 --> 0:03:57.080000 So each spine switch must connect to every leaf switch. 0:03:57.080000 --> 0:04:02.160000 So every leaf switch would have a connection to spine one and a connection 0:04:02.160000 --> 0:04:05.300000 to spine two. That's requirement. 0:04:05.300000 --> 0:04:09.120000 A spine switch must not connect to another spine switch. 0:04:09.120000 --> 0:04:12.260000 So notice there's no connections here between the spine switches. 0:04:12.260000 --> 0:04:17.140000 Now if this was a two-tier or a three -tier network design, not spine leaf, 0:04:17.140000 --> 0:04:20.860000 we would expect to find some sort of connection between these. 0:04:20.860000 --> 0:04:25.000000 And endpoints connect only to leaf switches. 0:04:25.000000 --> 0:04:28.260000 Your endpoints being your servers and your servers with your virtual machines 0:04:28.260000 --> 0:04:31.400000 would only connect to the leaf switches down here. 0:04:31.400000 --> 0:04:38.520000 You would never see them connecting to a spine switch. 0:04:38.520000 --> 0:04:43.220000 Question number seven. 0:04:43.220000 --> 0:04:52.640000 Which of the following statements comparing two-tier designs to spine 0:04:52.640000 --> 0:04:55.280000 leaf designs are true? 0:04:55.280000 --> 0:05:00.120000 Select two answers. 0:05:00.120000 --> 0:05:05.600000 The correct answers are, unlike a spine leaf design in a two-tier design, 0:05:05.600000 --> 0:05:10.520000 the distribution switches have redundant connections to each other. 0:05:10.520000 --> 0:05:16.200000 And answer C. Unlike a two-tier design, in a spine leaf design, each leaf 0:05:16.200000 --> 0:05:24.020000 switch has a connection to every spine switch. 0:05:24.020000 --> 0:05:33.780000 Question eight. When an enterprise router or switch connects to a Metro 0:05:33.780000 --> 0:05:38.680000 Ethernet network, what dictates the protocols and standards that can be 0:05:38.680000 --> 0:05:45.300000 implemented on the Ethernet access link? 0:05:45.300000 --> 0:05:54.940000 The correct answer is B, UNI, which stands for the User to Network Interface. 0:05:54.940000 --> 0:06:05.480000 Question nine. In terms of Metro Ethernet, what term defines within the 0:06:05.480000 --> 0:06:11.200000 service provider's Metro E cloud, which user or customer device is allowed 0:06:11.200000 --> 0:06:17.360000 to communicate with other user devices? 0:06:17.360000 --> 0:06:23.880000 The correct answer there is EVC, which stands for the Ethernet Virtual 0:06:23.880000 --> 0:06:36.280000 Circuit. Question number ten. 0:06:36.280000 --> 0:06:42.260000 Which type of Metro Ethernet service supports a full mesh between all 0:06:42.260000 --> 0:06:48.120000 connected endpoints? 0:06:48.120000 --> 0:06:56.060000 And the correct answer is an ELAN service, an Ethernet LAN service. 0:06:56.060000 --> 0:07:02.600000 Question eleven. 0:07:02.600000 --> 0:07:10.280000 Before or in front of which layer of the OSI model is an MPLS label applied? 0:07:10.280000 --> 0:07:18.600000 The correct answer is an MPLS label is applied just in front of the layer 0:07:18.600000 --> 0:07:24.880000 three header. That's why they sometimes call MPLS a layer 2.5 protocol, 0:07:24.880000 --> 0:07:30.220000 because the header is applied right after the data link header, but before 0:07:30.220000 --> 0:07:34.880000 the layer three header. 0:07:34.880000 --> 0:07:40.160000 Question number twelve. 0:07:40.160000 --> 0:07:44.200000 Which of the following statements about how service providers implement 0:07:44.200000 --> 0:07:46.900000 MPLS networks are true? 0:07:46.900000 --> 0:07:53.480000 Select two answers. 0:07:53.480000 --> 0:07:58.080000 Answer A is true, customer edge routers form a routing relationship with 0:07:58.080000 --> 0:08:02.500000 provider edge routers and answer D is true. 0:08:02.500000 --> 0:08:06.660000 The MPLS network provides security by isolating data between different 0:08:06.660000 --> 0:08:13.800000 customers. Recall that if this is our MPLS network, and let's say we have 0:08:13.800000 --> 0:08:20.360000 two routers right here, we'll just call them X and Y, and they belong 0:08:20.360000 --> 0:08:24.420000 to one particular customer. 0:08:24.420000 --> 0:08:30.040000 And then connected to that same MPLS network is a different customer. 0:08:30.040000 --> 0:08:32.500000 We'll just do those in the pink circles here, we'll just call that router 0:08:32.500000 --> 0:08:40.620000 one and two. Okay, and let's make these green circles here represent the 0:08:40.620000 --> 0:08:45.080000 provider edge routers that are connecting to the customer. 0:08:45.080000 --> 0:08:50.240000 Everything inside this yellow circle here is being done with MPLS. 0:08:50.240000 --> 0:08:56.780000 So recall that with MPLS, your customer edge routers, such as XY1 or two, 0:08:56.780000 --> 0:09:05.440000 that forms an actual routing relationship with the provider edge router. 0:09:05.440000 --> 0:09:12.560000 So you're doing OSPF, EIGRP, BGP directly with the provider edge router 0:09:12.560000 --> 0:09:18.520000 itself. Secondly, MPLS by itself does not encrypt anything. 0:09:18.520000 --> 0:09:22.320000 So when you send your data into the cloud, it's not going to be encrypted 0:09:22.320000 --> 0:09:26.040000 as if it was going over an IPsec VPN. 0:09:26.040000 --> 0:09:30.740000 What makes it secure and private is that when X sends its data into the 0:09:30.740000 --> 0:09:36.460000 cloud, customer X and customer XY can be assured that their data will 0:09:36.460000 --> 0:09:40.620000 never accidentally get over here to the pink customer. 0:09:40.620000 --> 0:09:44.100000 There's no way it can be routed or seen by the pink customer. 0:09:44.100000 --> 0:09:45.800000 The data paths are kept separate. 0:09:45.800000 --> 0:09:49.520000 Even if the data is going along the same wire, even if there's some wire 0:09:49.520000 --> 0:09:53.860000 right here and data going across that wire belongs to the two different 0:09:53.860000 --> 0:09:59.380000 customers, it will never end up at the wrong customer edge router. 0:09:59.380000 --> 0:10:04.380000 That's how privacy is maintained. 0:10:04.380000 --> 0:10:14.340000 Question 13. Which type of access link technology is supported to connect 0:10:14.340000 --> 0:10:16.300000 to an MPLS network? 0:10:16.300000 --> 0:10:22.680000 The correct answer is all of these are correct. 0:10:22.680000 --> 0:10:26.940000 That's why they call it multi-protocol label switching, because not only 0:10:26.940000 --> 0:10:32.680000 can it apply labels to multiple protocols like IPv4 or IPv6 packets, but 0:10:32.680000 --> 0:10:36.960000 also because MPLS could care less what your layer two protocol is. 0:10:36.960000 --> 0:10:40.900000 It doesn't care if it's operating across an ethernet network, cable, serial, 0:10:40.900000 --> 0:10:43.760000 it doesn't matter. 0:10:43.760000 --> 0:10:54.300000 Question 14. In WAN technologies implemented by Telcos, what is the acronym 0:10:54.300000 --> 0:11:00.360000 for the building where the Telco equipment resides? 0:11:00.360000 --> 0:11:07.820000 The answer is CO, that is the central office. 0:11:07.820000 --> 0:11:19.520000 Question 15. Which of the following statements are true about least lines? 0:11:19.520000 --> 0:11:25.980000 Select two answers. 0:11:25.980000 --> 0:11:30.820000 The correct answers are they sit at layer one of the OSI model, and they 0:11:30.820000 --> 0:11:34.300000 do not define a data link layer protocol. 0:11:34.300000 --> 0:11:40.540000 Most of the time people use PPP across a least line, but technically the 0:11:40.540000 --> 0:11:44.900000 specifications for least lines don't make any mention about what layer 0:11:44.900000 --> 0:11:49.080000 two headers and what layer two protocols should go across the least line. 0:11:49.080000 --> 0:11:53.800000 A least line only specifies how it should be physically implemented at 0:11:53.800000 --> 0:11:58.220000 layer one of the OSI model. 0:11:58.220000 --> 0:12:07.420000 Question 16. Which of the following fields are used by HDLC to perform 0:12:07.420000 --> 0:12:09.280000 error correction? 0:12:09.280000 --> 0:12:17.300000 The correct answer is none of these are correct. 0:12:17.300000 --> 0:12:23.220000 Now, while HDLC, much like ethernet, has a field in which it can detect 0:12:23.220000 --> 0:12:27.060000 if there are errors, it can detect if the bits have been scrambled if 0:12:27.060000 --> 0:12:31.940000 there's an error, there is no way that HDLC has the ability to fix that 0:12:31.940000 --> 0:12:35.580000 error. All it can do is look at an incoming frame and say there's something 0:12:35.580000 --> 0:12:37.420000 about this frame that's wrong. 0:12:37.420000 --> 0:12:40.460000 In that case, the frame simply has to be discarded. 0:12:40.460000 --> 0:12:45.560000 There's no way for HDLC itself to detect what the error is and fix it. 0:12:45.560000 --> 0:12:49.560000 That's why the answer of none of these answers are correct was the correct 0:12:49.560000 --> 0:12:57.260000 answer. Question 17. 0:12:57.260000 --> 0:13:06.620000 Which of the following is not included in the list of five criteria for 0:13:06.620000 --> 0:13:12.500000 a cloud computing service? 0:13:12.500000 --> 0:13:17.880000 The correct answer is D, elastic routing. 0:13:17.880000 --> 0:13:22.580000 Now, cloud computing services do have five criteria. 0:13:22.580000 --> 0:13:26.600000 You can see four of them right here, A, B, C and E. 0:13:26.600000 --> 0:13:30.360000 The fifth one that's missing is very similar to elastic routing, but it's 0:13:30.360000 --> 0:13:33.640000 technically called rapid elasticity. 0:13:33.640000 --> 0:13:36.380000 Rapid elasticity is the one that's missing from this. 0:13:36.380000 --> 0:13:44.360000 So elastic routing, not a component of cloud computing services. 0:13:44.360000 --> 0:13:54.980000 Question 18. In the context of the CCNA exam, which of the following statements 0:13:54.980000 --> 0:14:00.140000 about on-premise private clouds are true? 0:14:00.140000 --> 0:14:06.040000 Select the best answer. 0:14:06.040000 --> 0:14:11.460000 So the best answer here is that the users who request the resources of 0:14:11.460000 --> 0:14:15.440000 an on-premise private cloud and the people that create the private cloud 0:14:15.440000 --> 0:14:18.340000 all work for the same company. 0:14:18.340000 --> 0:14:23.480000 The key words here in the question was an on-premise private cloud. 0:14:23.480000 --> 0:14:28.060000 If a private cloud is on-premise, then that means that everything that 0:14:28.060000 --> 0:14:32.360000 creates that cloud, so the physical servers that are holding the virtual 0:14:32.360000 --> 0:14:37.940000 machines, the software that can on -demand create new virtual machines 0:14:37.940000 --> 0:14:43.000000 or move virtual machines from one server to another, all of it is on-premise. 0:14:43.000000 --> 0:14:46.960000 It's on your company's location, which means the people that are using 0:14:46.960000 --> 0:14:50.980000 that service, as well as the people that maintain that service, all work 0:14:50.980000 --> 0:14:56.720000 for the same company. 0:14:56.720000 --> 0:15:07.360000 Question 19. Match the image with the correct service model. 0:15:07.360000 --> 0:15:11.980000 So in this particular service model, you can see that the applications 0:15:11.980000 --> 0:15:18.540000 are selected and installed by the customer and everything below that, 0:15:18.540000 --> 0:15:22.660000 the operating system, stored CPU, RAM and network, that's all selected 0:15:22.660000 --> 0:15:23.680000 by the customer. 0:15:23.680000 --> 0:15:27.280000 They get to choose those various things, but they're actually provisioned 0:15:27.280000 --> 0:15:29.900000 by the cloud provider themselves. 0:15:29.900000 --> 0:15:36.480000 What service model does this represent? 0:15:36.480000 --> 0:15:43.300000 This is what's described as infrastructure as a service, IaaS. 0:15:43.300000 --> 0:15:55.880000 Question 20. Here we have another service model with a different image. 0:15:55.880000 --> 0:16:01.680000 In this case, the applications are selected by the customer, but the customer 0:16:01.680000 --> 0:16:04.600000 does not actually install them or maintain them. 0:16:04.600000 --> 0:16:07.440000 They are, once they're selected, they are ready to go. 0:16:07.440000 --> 0:16:11.020000 They are implemented and maintained by the cloud provider, and everything 0:16:11.020000 --> 0:16:16.360000 beneath the application is completely transparent to the end customer. 0:16:16.360000 --> 0:16:23.400000 What type of service model is this? 0:16:23.400000 --> 0:16:27.240000 This is software as a service. 0:16:27.240000 --> 0:16:34.900000 For example, when you use Gmail, you are using software as a service. 0:16:34.900000 --> 0:16:44.900000 Question 21. Which of the following are the possible negative consequences 0:16:44.900000 --> 0:16:52.140000 of moving your on-premise applications to a public cloud and connecting 0:16:52.140000 --> 0:16:57.320000 to your cloud service using a public internet connection? 0:16:57.320000 --> 0:17:04.060000 Select three answers. 0:17:04.060000 --> 0:17:06.920000 And here are the three answers. 0:17:06.920000 --> 0:17:09.900000 If you're going over the public internet, just a regular old internet 0:17:09.900000 --> 0:17:14.580000 connection to get to your public cloud, there is no service level agreement. 0:17:14.580000 --> 0:17:18.780000 There's no one who can guarantee you that your packets will take a certain 0:17:18.780000 --> 0:17:23.640000 minimum delay or anything like that, so there is no WAN SLA available. 0:17:23.640000 --> 0:17:26.340000 Also, there was certainly decreased security. 0:17:26.340000 --> 0:17:30.520000 Anytime you go across the public internet, you are decreasing your security 0:17:30.520000 --> 0:17:34.660000 as opposed to if you had access those resources on-premises within your 0:17:34.660000 --> 0:17:36.600000 own company itself. 0:17:36.600000 --> 0:17:39.960000 And then lastly, once again, if you're going over the public internet, 0:17:39.960000 --> 0:17:43.540000 you have very little, if anything, you can do from a quality of service 0:17:43.540000 --> 0:17:47.520000 perspective. You really can't control your packets and make sure that 0:17:47.520000 --> 0:17:52.520000 your packets are prioritized before or after anybody else's packets when 0:17:52.520000 --> 0:17:52.780000 you're going to go to your own company. 0:17:52.780000 --> 0:17:57.980000 So, we're going across the internet. 0:17:57.980000 --> 0:18:09.340000 Question 22. A provider offers private WAN connections, for example, MPLS, 0:18:09.340000 --> 0:18:11.880000 Metro Ethernet, etc., to consumers. 0:18:11.880000 --> 0:18:19.020000 The same private WAN also has connections to multiple public cloud providers. 0:18:19.020000 --> 0:18:21.700000 This type of service is called... 0:18:21.700000 --> 0:18:32.220000 The answer is this is called an intercloud exchange. 0:18:32.220000 --> 0:18:41.920000 Question 23. And this is our last question for this video. 0:18:41.920000 --> 0:18:47.500000 Fill in each cell with either true or false as it pertains to the methods 0:18:47.500000 --> 0:18:51.260000 available for connecting to public clouds. 0:18:51.260000 --> 0:18:55.240000 So, what I want you to do in this question is, for example, look at the 0:18:55.240000 --> 0:18:59.600000 first row of makes data private. 0:18:59.600000 --> 0:19:04.880000 So, if you're connecting to a public cloud directly across the internet, 0:19:04.880000 --> 0:19:06.640000 does that make your data private? 0:19:06.640000 --> 0:19:10.220000 If the answer is yes and that you would mark true in that cell, if the 0:19:10.220000 --> 0:19:12.720000 answer is no, you would mark false. 0:19:12.720000 --> 0:19:16.700000 What if you're connecting to that public cloud over an internet VPN? 0:19:16.700000 --> 0:19:19.320000 Does that make your data private? 0:19:19.320000 --> 0:19:24.100000 So, look at each one of these cells and ask yourself, is it true or false 0:19:24.100000 --> 0:19:29.360000 about connecting to a public cloud with regards to these five different 0:19:29.360000 --> 0:19:33.340000 ways or methods that I could connect to that public cloud? 0:19:33.340000 --> 0:19:36.800000 So, definitely want to pause this slide, maybe even take a screenshot 0:19:36.800000 --> 0:19:42.600000 of it or look at your PDF and the learner or the course resources file 0:19:42.600000 --> 0:19:49.020000 and then mark the cells appropriately. 0:19:49.020000 --> 0:19:50.880000 And here are the answers. 0:19:50.880000 --> 0:19:55.180000 So, for connecting to a public cloud, does it make your data private? 0:19:55.180000 --> 0:19:58.340000 Well, if you're going across the internet, definitely not. 0:19:58.340000 --> 0:20:02.280000 If you're doing an internet VPN using like IPsec or something, yes, it 0:20:02.280000 --> 0:20:06.740000 does. And all the other methods of MPLS VPN, Ethernet, WAN and intercloud 0:20:06.740000 --> 0:20:12.220000 exchange, yes. Those are those make your data private in one way or another. 0:20:12.220000 --> 0:20:15.980000 Is QOS supported when you're going to the public cloud? 0:20:15.980000 --> 0:20:19.320000 Well, if you're going across the internet at all, whether it be an internet, 0:20:19.320000 --> 0:20:24.280000 just a plane internet connection or an internet VPN, there is no QOS. 0:20:24.280000 --> 0:20:28.220000 But there is QOS when you're using the other three methods. 0:20:28.220000 --> 0:20:32.260000 Does it require capacity planning? 0:20:32.260000 --> 0:20:37.340000 And then there was, do we have to think about, do I need more bandwidth? 0:20:37.340000 --> 0:20:41.000000 And the answer is true for all of these. 0:20:41.000000 --> 0:20:43.620000 Whether you're connecting to your public cloud via the internet or all 0:20:43.620000 --> 0:20:48.040000 the way to an intercloud exchange, you're talking now about more data 0:20:48.040000 --> 0:20:52.880000 leaving your company with the destination of some resources in the public 0:20:52.880000 --> 0:20:57.260000 cloud. That's going to consume more WAN bandwidth. 0:20:57.260000 --> 0:21:01.000000 And so it is going to require some capacity planning. 0:21:01.000000 --> 0:21:04.700000 What about easing migration to a new cloud provider? 0:21:04.700000 --> 0:21:11.440000 Well, if we're connecting via the internet or an internet VPN to a public 0:21:11.440000 --> 0:21:16.120000 cloud, yes, we can move to a brand new public cloud with a different provider 0:21:16.120000 --> 0:21:20.700000 very easily. If we're using intercloud exchange at the very end, the whole 0:21:20.700000 --> 0:21:26.200000 purpose of an intercloud exchange is to allow you to easily move to different 0:21:26.200000 --> 0:21:28.860000 cloud providers using public clouds. 0:21:28.860000 --> 0:21:33.260000 Now, if you're using an MPLS VPN or an Ethernet WAN, those are resources 0:21:33.260000 --> 0:21:37.520000 that took a lot of time and energy to set up a lot of planning moving 0:21:37.520000 --> 0:21:41.900000 away from those to some other type of connection is not easy. 0:21:41.900000 --> 0:21:44.260000 So it does not ease migration. 0:21:44.260000 --> 0:21:46.700000 What about initial installation? 0:21:46.700000 --> 0:21:48.100000 Which one of these is fast? 0:21:48.100000 --> 0:21:49.940000 Which one is slow? 0:21:49.940000 --> 0:21:54.960000 Well, using any internet-based connection, for example, internet or internet 0:21:54.960000 --> 0:21:59.320000 VPN very fast, you can connect to a public cloud over the internet or 0:21:59.320000 --> 0:22:02.680000 over an internet VPN connection in a matter of minutes with very simple 0:22:02.680000 --> 0:22:07.580000 setup. However, if you want to use MPLS VPN, Ethernet WAN or an intercloud 0:22:07.580000 --> 0:22:13.460000 exchange, that takes quite a bit more time to do your initial installation 0:22:13.460000 --> 0:22:16.000000 and get that running. 0:22:16.000000 --> 0:22:20.660000 Thank you for watching, and I hope this was a good assessment for you 0:22:20.660000 --> 0:22:22.300000 on these particular technologies.
