Other than Point-to-Point Serial connections, PPP can provide transport over what other types of links? What are the two types of authentication methods available to PPP over serial and dialup connections? What are the two factors that make parallel connections a bad choice for WAN connections? Describe the deference in how Serial and Parallel links transmit data: Describe TDM (Time-Division Multiplexing): What are WDM and DWDM? From the customers perspective, the modem is what type of device, DTE or DCE? The customers router is what type of device. DTE or DCE? According to US and EU standards for the DEMARC and CPE, in which region is the MODEM considered the responsibility of the service provider? From the service providers perspective, the modem is what type of device, DTE or DCE? What component on a PC converts the transmission from parallel to serial? How does HDLC, Ciscos proprietary Layer 2 encapsulation protocol for point-to-point links, defer from PPP? What is a flag? What is FCS? What are the three types of HDLC frames? What Layer 2 encapsulation protocol is used when going between Cisco devices? How is HDLC enabled/re-enabled on a Serial Interface?

How is the PPP option of quality enabled on a Serial Interface? What is the result of placing the command ppp multilink on a PPP enabled Serial Interface? #sh int s0/0/0 will show the interface status in addition to what concerning PPP? What command is used to monitor PPP information in real time? What would be the difference in the terminal displays of debug ppp authentication and debug ppp negotiation?
