Suggested Answer: A, B, C

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.

I think D is also true because Ethernet segments start with En.

Haha, I bet the exam writers are trying to trip us up with that Token Ring one. Nice try, but I'm not falling for it!

These interface naming conventions are pretty straightforward. I'm curious if there's a mnemonic device to help remember them, like 'S for serial, F for fast'.

I disagree with A. I believe Ethernet interfaces that are fast start with an F.

I'm not sure about the Token Ring one, but the other options seem legit. I hope I don't get a question about that outdated technology on the exam!

Yeah, I agree. Token Ring is pretty outdated anyway.

Hmm, I think the correct answers are A and C. The interface naming convention for serial connections and fast Ethernet makes sense to me.

I think you're right. S for serial and F for fast Ethernet interfaces.
