Q1. How arp generate and its packet flow across the network?
Ans. 
ARP generates and sends packets to map IP addresses to MAC addresses in a network.
• ARP request is broadcasted to all devices on the network

• The device with the matching IP address responds with its MAC address

• ARP table is updated with the IP-MAC mapping

• ARP packets have source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, and ARP operation code

Q2. What is CSMA/CD, and how does this thing work in real life, give an example.
Ans. 
CSMA/CD stands for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. It is a network protocol used in Ethernet networks to avoid data collisions.
• CSMA/CD is used in Ethernet networks to regulate access to the network medium.

• Before sending data, a device using CSMA/CD listens to the network to check if it is busy.

• If the network is clear, the device sends the data. If a collision is detected, the device stops transm...read more

Q1. Routing tables in bgp and explain
Ans. 
BGP routing tables store information about routes to different networks and the best path to reach them.
• BGP uses a path-vector routing protocol to determine the best path for a packet to reach its destination.

• BGP routing tables contain information about the network prefixes, the next hop to reach them, and the path attributes that determine the best path.

• BGP routers exchange routing information with their neighbors to ...read more

Q3. What is nat and port number that can be used
Ans. 
NAT is a technique used to map private IP addresses to public IP addresses. Port numbers are used to identify specific applications.
• NAT stands for Network Address Translation

• It is used to allow devices with private IP addresses to access the internet using a public IP address

• Port numbers are used to identify specific applications or services

• Common port numbers include 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS, and 22 for SSH

Q4. If neither the port range in source NAT pools nor the default port range are configured, the default single port range is 1024 through 63,487.
Ans. 
Default single port range when neither port range in source NAT pools nor default port range are configured.
• When neither port range in source NAT pools nor default port range are configured, the default single port range is 1024 through 63,487.

• This range is used for outbound traffic initiated by the device.

• It is important to configure the port range to avoid conflicts with other devices on the network.

• For example, if m...read more

Q5. What is mss in tcp explain
Ans. 
MSS in TCP refers to the maximum segment size, which is the largest amount of data that can be sent in a single TCP segment.
• MSS is negotiated during the TCP three-way handshake

• It is determined by the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the network

• MSS can be adjusted by the sender or receiver using TCP options

• A smaller MSS can help prevent fragmentation and improve network performance
