100 CCNA Interview Questions and Answers

# 1. Basic Networking Questions


## 1. What is the OSI Model?
The OSI model has 7 layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation,
Application.

## 2. Difference between TCP and UDP?


TCP is connection-oriented, reliable but slow. UDP is connectionless, fast but unreliable.

## 3. What is an IP address?
An IP address identifies a device in a network (IPv4 = 32-bit, IPv6 = 128-bit).

## 4. Difference between a Switch and Router?


A switch operates at Layer 2 using MAC addresses, while a router operates at Layer 3 using IP
addresses.

## 5. What is VLAN?
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) segments a network to improve security and efficiency.

# 2. Routing and Switching


## 6. What is Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)?
STP prevents network loops in switched networks.

## 7. What is Subnetting?
Subnetting divides a network into smaller subnetworks.

## 8. What is CIDR?
CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) represents subnet masks in a compact format.

## 9. What are the different modes in a Cisco Router?


User EXEC (>), Privileged EXEC (#), Global Configuration (config#), Interface Configuration
(config-if#).

## 10. How do you assign an IP address to an interface?


Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/0
Router(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# no shutdown

# 3. Routing Protocols
## 11. What is the difference between static and dynamic routing?
Static routing is manually configured, while dynamic routing uses protocols like OSPF, RIP, and
BGP.

## 12. What is the difference between OSPF and RIP?


OSPF is a link-state protocol (faster), while RIP is a distance-vector protocol (simpler but slower).

## 13. How do you configure OSPF?


Router(config)# router ospf 1
Router(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

## 14. What is BGP?


BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is an exterior gateway protocol used for internet routing.

# 4. Security and Troubleshooting


## 15. What are ACLs (Access Control Lists)?
ACLs control network traffic by allowing or denying specific packets.

## 16. What is NAT (Network Address Translation)?


NAT translates private IPs to public IPs for internet access.

## 17. What are common troubleshooting commands?


show ip interface brief, show ip route, ping, traceroute, show running-config

## 18. What is the difference between 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi?


2.4GHz has a longer range but lower speed, while 5GHz has a shorter range but higher speed.
## 19. What is a VPN?
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides secure remote access.

# 5. WAN Technologies
## 20. What are different WAN technologies?
Leased Line, MPLS, VPN, DSL, Fiber, Cable.
