(QID:S18) Testlet1 - Identify the path a packet takes in a network.

Question 1 of this Testlet confused me.  The explanation of question 1 states that, "The destination address 192.168.1.255 is the layer 3 broadcast address for the subnet 192.168.1.0/24, but a router discards broadcasts by default, therefore, RT1 will drop this packet because it is not a valid host address.

I understand that 192.168.1.255 is an invalid host address, however it is the Broadcast address for the subnet connected to that router (RT1).  Why would "RT1" drop it, instead of sending it out the LAN interface?

Hey everyone, been reading this forum for a while so I thought I would drop a few notes about my exam experience yesterday for everyone studying so hard.

First off, how2pass is the only reason I passed. thanks so much for a great study site!!

Cisco hit me with a router sim on the first question.  you'll be ok. After that I got 2 more sims in the first 8 questions!!   I kind of freaked out because they took so much time, I looked at the clock and was on question 19 of 44 with less than half my time left....    But after drilling countless hours on this site it made the multiple choice very easy to say the least. Be sure to write down your binary table 128 64 32 26 8 4 2 1 as soon as you can, then 192 224 240 248 252 254 under it, then your slash notations and the subnetting questions are easy.

got a few questions that I had no idea what they were talking about or how to answer!! lol that's to be expected I guess, but they do tell you at the beginning that you will get a few extra random questions that don't count for or against your final score. 

I'll check this forum intermittently in anyone has any specific questions about the exam. But all I can really tell you is know ALL the questions and sims ice-cold and you will be fine!!

p.s. The lady administrating my exam told me that she was glad I passed because I was her last test taker that day and a lot of people leave in tears and temper tantrums!! thought that was funny......

This question seems to imply that RSTP can operate with PVST+. The Odom book says it can't.

What could I exlicar to run the command:
(config) router isis
line does not go to the command (config-router)
I am using the emulator Dynamips
Apply instance tag also nothing
What is missing?

I remember reading somewhere that the BSCI was going to be receiving and update soon. Do you have a time frame for this admin?

  Hey

Hi All,

Passed BSCI on yesterday with 911!!

I had eigrp/isis redistribution
OSPF stub area
Eigrp stub/address summarisation!!!  .

Guess what my first question was the lab of Eigrp stub and summarization troobleshooting , not easy wasted more than 20 minutes on it without manage.. so be careful guys.

The rest of the questions were a fair mix of everything really, Dont forget to revised the Big 3 : IS-IS , Multicasting and IPV6..

Materials :
BSCI official study guide
CBT nuggets
Lab portfolio
Portable command guide
H2p
P4s
Testking

Studied during  6 months

Good Luck

Hi guys,

I am so excited, ijust passed my test today with score 850, it was very tough test though but thank God I made it.

I recommended this site 100% with no doubt.

Thanks

Exam felt a little easier then H2P practice exams, this due mainly to how easy the simulators were to use. Also worth noting is that the '?' is usable in the exam, helping you with options for the next CLI entry.

Questions very similar to what I had practised on H2P, making this not only extremely good for learning the content needed, but very good value for money.

BSCI again for me, this time with H2P help. Then after CCIP or CCNP....

Passed ICND1 today, scored 902 / 1000

To be honest, not a bad exam, the first question relating to Frame Relay DCLI was abit tricky but, was good.

Study up on your

RIPv2
WAN
Interface management / troubleshooting

you'll be fine!

Hi All,

Passed BSCI on Friday with 955!!

I had eigrp/isis redistribution
OSPF stub area
Eigrp stub/address summarisation?? - Yeah, that caught me off guard and i think that may have been where i dropped points.  Basically, rtr2 couldn't see rtr3 (i think it was set as receive only) also had to summarise rtr3 addressing so that the routing table only contained 2 routes.

The rest of the questions were a fair mix of everything really, no particular topic stood out.  A few questions on IPv6 that i hadn't seen before, but that's why you will need to know your stuff.

Everything else was covered on H2P and in the cisco books,  also have a lab at home which i study on.

I was getting around the 95% mark everytime on a random test with 60 questions (the test had 61) so if your hitting that mark consistently then you should be OK.

Good Luck
Lee
