NETWORK MANAGEMENT11. Describe the steps to configure and enable a FastEthernet0/1 router interface with the IPaddress 10.10.20.250 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. Ans: The steps are discussed below:The enabling of the routers CMD terminal is included in the 1st step and the command requiredfor this is:Router>enableFor entering the configuration mode, the following command is used.Router#config terminalThen the FastEthernet0/1 interface is chosen by the use of the following command.Router(config)#interface FastEthernet0/1Once the selection is completed then the network ID is assigned by the use of followingcommand. Router(config-if)#ip address 10.10.20.250 255.255.0.0After completing the above steps, the following command is used to exit the configuration mode.Router(config-if)#exitThen exit the configure mode. Router(config)#exit
NETWORK MANAGEMENT22. What are the three ways to see if your router’s serial port is a DCE or DTE end?Ans: There are various ways of identifying weather a serial port is a DCE or DTE end or notsome of the ways by which we can identify if a port is DCE or DTE are listed below:The ports are having are having different nature that is one is having a female endwhereas the other is having a male end. The DCE port is having a female port whereasthe DTE is having a male port.Another way of identifying weather a port is DCE or DTE is by the use of a voltmeter. Ifthe voltmeter shows that there is a voltage on receive then the port can be identified as aDCE port whereas if the voltmeter shows that there is voltage on transmit then the port isa DTE port (Cevallos et al., 2017).By the use of rule of thumb also the port can be identified.in case when a device isplugged into the serial port of the computer and it works normally then the serial port isDCE and if any device is connected to the computer by the use of a “null modem” thenthe port is said to be a DTE port.3. A BPDU data packet lists the “Forward Delay” as 15 seconds. What information does this provide?Ans: The time that is used to listen and to learn the current situation of the BPDU is referred toas the Forward Delay and the normal time estimated for this purpose is 15 secs whereas this canbe adjusted between 4sec to 30 secs. Forward Delay also defines the movement to the forwardstage from the stage of blocking in an active STP topology (Pinto, Pinto & Ricardo, 2014).
