a.
MX /Mail Exchanger and Reverse DNS (99% will miss Reverse DNS
unless they have ran their own mail server)
Q.
If I build a Ipsec vpn from Site 1 to Site 2 to Site 3, Can I ping a host on
site 3 from site 1.
A.
No. Ipsec creates rules to join networks. Generally you
can’t route traffic between tunnels.
Q.
Most managed switchs us a technique called spanning tree. A lot of
embedded devices will miss DHCP when because their boot up time is so fast that
the port is not alive before the switch determines that you do not have a loop
back condition. What is the correct way to solve this.
A.
In some switches they have a feature called port fast, turn this on ports that
have embedded devices. In some middle ground switches you have to
disable spanning tree on that port or even the complete switch.
That’s a few. They might
be a bit beyond any junior person but if you want someone that really knows
their stuff I would get a bit harder than these.

Subject: Suggestions for interview
questions
What
type of networking questions would you suggest to weed out interview candidates
during a 15 minute phone conversation? The emphasis would not be on any
particular platform, but rather to discover if the candidate had a general
understanding of tcpip networking, hardware, infrastructure, security, nat,
firewalls, vpns, ipsec, ssl, dns, hubs, switches, routers, etc.
Example:
Q:
