A Cisco router can have multiple connections to networks. These connections are known as interfaces for Cisco Routers. For naming each interface, Cisco generally uses the type of interface as part of the name.

Following are some of the naming conventions of Cisco Router interfaces:

An Ethernet interface that is fast always starts with an F.

An interface connected to a serial connection always starts with an S.

An interface connected to an Ethernet segment of the network always starts with an E.

An interface connected to a Token Ring segment always starts with To.

Haha, I bet the D option is a trick question. Who would name an Ethernet interface with 'En'? That's just silly.

Yeah, I think option D is the tricky one. 'En' for Ethernet doesn't sound right.

I agree. Option B seems off though. Token Ring segments don't start with To.
