# TOP 20 CCNA Interview Questions & Answers | PART 1

## πŸ“š OSI Model Overview

The OSI model, also known as the Open System Interconnection model, is a seven-layer reference model developed by ISO in 1984. It is vital to remember that each layer has specific functionality, which includes the physical layer, data link layer, network layer, transport layer, session layer, presentation layer, and application layer.

| Layer Number | Layer Name |
| ————– | ————– |
| 1 | Physical |
| 2 | Data Link |
| 3 | Network |
| 4 | Transport |
| 5 | Session |
| 6 | Presentation |
| 7 | Application |

## 🌐 Understanding IP Address

An IP address is essentially the identity of a device required for communication. It can be either a 32-bit or 128-bit address, depending on whether it is an IPv4 or IPv6 address, respectively.

| IP Type | Address Bit |
| ——— | ————- |
| IPv4 | 32-bit |
| IPv6 | 128-bit |

## πŸ“‘ Differentiating Hub, Switch, and Router

A hub operates at the physical layer and connects multiple devices, a switch is a layer two device that uses MAC addresses for communication, and a router operates at layer three, using IP addresses to connect different networks.

## πŸ”Œ Understanding RJ45 Connector

RJ45 is a connector used for ethernet cables and is a commonly asked question in interviews.

## ➑️ Purpose of DNS

The Domain Name System translates domain names into IP addresses, making it easier for users to access websites with human-readable names.

## 🌐 Insight into Routing and Routing Protocols

Routing is the process of forwarding packets from one network to another, performed at the Network layer by a router using a routing table. There are different types of routing, including default routing, static routing, and dynamic routing using routing protocols.

## πŸ“‰ Understanding Ping Tool

Ping is a tool used to test the layer three reliability of a host in a network, providing information about packet success and latency.

## πŸ—‚ Importance of Ad Value

Ad value, related to routing protocols, determines the trustworthiness of routes learned through routing protocols. Different routing protocols have specific ad values that determine the priority of routes.
