What is a cpu
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit, which is the main component of a computer responsible for
executing instructions of a computer program. The CPU is also known as the processor and it
performs the basic arithmetic, logical, and input/output operations of a computer. It is often referred
to as the "brain" of the computer.

The CPU is made up of several components, including the control unit, the arithmetic logic unit
(ALU), and the registers. The control unit fetches instructions from memory and interprets them,
while the ALU performs arithmetic and logic operations on data. The registers hold data that is
currently being processed by the CPU.

Modern CPUs can be made up of multiple cores, which allow them to perform multiple tasks
simultaneously, increasing their processing power. The speed and power of a CPU are measured in
hertz (Hz), with higher frequencies meaning that more instructions can be executed in a given
amount of time.
What is TCP-IP
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a set of networking protocols that
are used to connect devices over the internet. It is a communication protocol that enables data to
be transmitted over the internet.
TCP/IP is made up of two main protocols: TCP and IP. The IP protocol is responsible for routing
packets of data between devices on the internet. Each device on the internet is assigned an IP
address, which is used to identify it and ensure that data packets are sent to the correct
destination.
TCP, on the other hand, is responsible for ensuring that data packets are transmitted reliably
between devices. It breaks data into packets, sends them over the network, and then reassembles
them on the receiving end. TCP also includes error detection and correction mechanisms to
ensure that data is not corrupted during transmission.
TCP/IP is used by virtually all devices that are connected to the internet, from computers and
servers to smartphones and IoT devices. It has become the standard for networking and
communication on the internet, and is essential for enabling the exchange of data and
information across the world.

What types of disk you know?

1. Hard Disk Drive (HDD): This is a traditional type of storage device that uses spinning
disks to store and retrieve data. HDDs are widely used in desktop and laptop computers,
and they provide a large amount of storage at a relatively low cost.
2. Solid State Drive (SSD): This is a newer type of storage device that uses flash memory to
store and retrieve data. SSDs are faster and more reliable than HDDs, but they are also
more expensive. SSDs are commonly used in laptops, tablets, and other mobile devices.
3. USB Flash Drive: This is a small, portable storage device that uses flash memory to store
data. USB flash drives are widely used for storing and transferring files between
computers, and they are also used for backing up important data.

Which command is used to verify the encapsulation type on a frame relay link?

The "show interfaces" command can be used to verify the encapsulation type on a Frame Relay
link. Here are the steps:
1. Log in to the router's CLI (Command Line Interface).
2. Enter the privileged EXEC mode by typing "enable" and providing the enable password.
3. Type "show interfaces" and press Enter.
4. Locate the interface that is connected to the Frame Relay link and check the
"Encapsulation" field in the output.
If the encapsulation type is correct, it should be "Frame Relay". If it's not, you can change it
using the "encapsulation frame-relay" command in interface configuration mode.
When there is an IP address conflict in a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
environment, the DHCP server takes the following actions:
1. The DHCP server sends an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) message to the IP
address that is in conflict, informing it that the IP address is already in use.
2. The DHCP server marks the IP address as "BAD_ADDRESS" in its lease database to
prevent it from being assigned again.
3. The DHCP server continues to try to assign an IP address to the requesting client.
4. If the DHCP server exhausts all available IP addresses in its pool and is still unable to
assign an IP address to the requesting client, it will not be able to provide network
connectivity to that client.
It is important to resolve IP address conflicts in a DHCP environment, as they can cause network
connectivity issues and lead to other problems such as duplicate IP addresses, unauthorized
access, and data loss.
