  1. In the context of wireless networking, what does SSID stand for?

    Answer: Service Set Identifier

    SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the human-readable name broadcast by a wireless access point to identify a wireless network.

  2. Which QoS mechanism marks traffic at the ingress point to indicate its priority for handling throughout the network?

    Answer: Classification and marking

    Classification and marking identifies traffic types at ingress and applies DSCP or CoS markings so downstream devices can prioritize accordingly.

  3. What is the administrative distance of OSPF in Cisco/Aruba devices by default?

    Answer: 110

    OSPF has a default administrative distance of 110, which determines its preference relative to other routing protocols when multiple routes exist.

  4. Which layer of the OSI model is responsible for end-to-end error detection, flow control, and segmentation?

    Answer: Transport (Layer 4)

    The Transport layer (Layer 4) handles end-to-end communication, segmentation, flow control, and error recovery via TCP or UDP.

  5. What is the key difference between a collision domain and a broadcast domain?

    Answer: Switches separate collision domains; routers separate broadcast domains

    Each switch port is its own collision domain, while routers (and VLANs) define separate broadcast domain boundaries.

  6. Which ICMP message type is sent by a router to inform a host that a better route to the destination exists?

    Answer: Redirect

    An ICMP Redirect message tells a host to update its routing table because a more optimal gateway for that destination exists.

  7. In DHCP, which message does a client send to formally accept an offered IP address from a server?

    Answer: DHCPREQUEST

    After receiving a DHCPOFFER, the client broadcasts a DHCPREQUEST to accept the offered address and inform other servers their offers were declined.
