What is the Difference Between Full Duplex and Half Duplex Devices? Answer: A Full Duplex Device is Preferable, because a Full Duplex Device can Send and Receive Data Packets Simultaneously.  However, with a Half Duplex Device, the Device Must Finish Receiving a Message Before it Can then Send a Message. This can Lead to  Slower Transmission Speeds and Increase Network Latency. 4. How does RIP Differ from EIGRP? RIP and

Q1. What is public IP address? Ans. A public IP address is an address leased from an ISP that allows or enables direct Internet communication. Q2. What's the benefit of subnetting? Ans. Reduce the size of the routing tables. Reduce network traffic. Broadcast traffic can be isolated within a single logical network.Provide a way to secure network traffic by isolating it from the rest of the network. Q3. What are the differences between static IP addressing and dynamic IP addressing? Ans. With static IP addressing, a computer (or other device) is configured to always use the same IP address. With dynamic addressing, the IP address can change periodically and is managed by a centralized network service Q4. What is APIPA? Ans. Automatic private IP addressing (APIPA) is a feature mainly found in Microsoft operating systems.

Router interfaces

Management Ports Routers have physical connectors that are used to manage the router. These connectors are known as management ports. Unlike Ethernet and serial interfaces, management ports are not used for packet forwarding. The most common management port is the console port. The console port is used to connect a terminal, or most often a PC running terminal emulator software, to configure the router without the need for network access to that router. The console port must be used during initial configuration of the router. Another management port is the auxiliary port. Not all routers have auxiliary ports. At times the auxiliary port can be used in ways similar to a console port. It can also be used to attach a modem. Auxiliary ports will not be used in this curriculum. The figure shows the console and AUX ports on the router. Router Interfaces The term interface on Cisco routers refers to a physical connector on the router whose main purpose is to receive and forward packets. Rout
