| What is SLAAC | Stateless Address Autoconfiguration allows hosts to self assign IPv6 addresses |
| What is STP | Protocol that prevents Layer 2 loops by blocking redundant links |
| What is VLSM | Variable Length Subnet Masking allows subnets of different sizes |
About the Flashcards
Flashcards for the Cisco CCNP Enterprise exam give you quick recall of essential switching, VLAN, and link-aggregation concepts. Review how Spanning Tree variants prevent loops, identify BPDU roles and root-bridge election, understand how trunks and VTP manage VLAN information, and see how EtherChannel bundles links for resilience and throughput.
They also reinforce routing and addressing skills, from inter-VLAN routing with SVIs or router-on-a-stick to OSPF areas, EIGRP metrics, BGP path selection, and safe route redistribution with correct administrative distance. Practice subnetting math, VLSM planning, NAT overload, DHCP relay, IPv6 SLAAC, and neighbor discovery so you can solve exam scenarios accurately and swiftly.
Topics covered in this flashcard deck:
- Spanning Tree variants
- VLANs and trunking
- EtherChannel aggregation
- OSPF, EIGRP, BGP routing
- IPv4 and IPv6 addressing
- Subnetting, NAT, DHCP
