Hello All
THis summer I am thinking of doing certifications of CCNA and CNNP. I have the following question.
1)Should I just prepare for CCNP or should I first do CCNA and thne start CCNP.
2)Is it possible to do both CCNa and CCNP in three months(in summer I am free). If yes, how should I go about, assuming I will be studying on my own.
Your help will be appreciated a lot!!
Thanx

Lots of STP questions including a couple of simlets and a simulation that involves bridge & port priority configuration changes from console. Plus the VTP and VLAN labs. I got 50 questions but first 8 questions took me 35 minutes to complete and only a few minutes to spare in the end.

I didn't get any VACL or Radius labs as others may have had, but STP is definitely crucial. Anyway, considering that I took the test only after 3 weeks of preparation with h2p's help, I am pretty happy with the score ;D

I used ciscopress BCMSN book plus some reading materials for 802.1x and Wireless LAN.

Going for BSCI in 3 weeks.

i got two of them but select the rip v1 one over IGRP.

this is the passive-interface question. My understanding is that passive interface dont send out routing info but will still recieve routing updates.

ok so i understand why the RIP one wont work - it's becuase of the passive interface deault which means rip routes not being sent out of s0/1 to rtc so rtc wont know how to get to RTA.

but ...

in teh IGRP config we also have passive interface enable with the no passive on s0/1 ??? so igrp goes out of s0/1 but how will rta know about rtc if s0/0 is passive which is the link to RTA? surely s0/0 should be no passive as well????



Thanks

Which three QoS mechanisms can be configured to improve VoIP quality on a converged network?

1. The use of WRED
2. The proper classification and marking of the traffic as close to the source as possible
3. The use of RTP header compression for the VoIP traffic
4. The use of a queuing method that will give VoIP traffic strict priority over other traffic.
5. (bogus line)

I chose the 124, the answer says 123. The next time I chose 123, the answer says 124. Either way, I was wrong?!

And the funny thing is, the explanation says all 4 are correct.

Anyone? I am taking a test tomorrow and this is not what I want to take with me to the test.

hi and hello.

guys what do you think of the follow gear(lab)
I am preparing for CCNP and come across an auction selling the following

x1 2611XM Cisco router
x1 2520 Cisco router
x2 2501 Cisco router
x1 2511 Cisco router
x1 2503 Cisco router
x1 1900 Cisco switch
x1 2900xl Cisco switch

x1 1900 Cisco switch (front panel is broken)
x1 3com 10MB switch

x1 Rextron KNV2116d with cables (missing 9v power supply, will keep looking for it)

Will this be enough
and cost wise what will be reasonable???

I'm going to start training soon for the BCMSN Exam and I'm just curious on what the passing score is?

Ok these two drag and drop subnet questions both puzzle me for many reasons

1/ the questions ask for you to use subnet zero and to conserve host addresses for future use but both questions miss 4 host addresses when
allocating addresses to the serial interfaces n418 issues 192.168.91.197 to the serial link but the next usable host address is 192.168.91.193 so there is 4 missing hosts here and same thing occurs on question n419 where hosts 80-84 are not used

2/ when allocating hosts you should always issue your highest number of hosts to lowest so why does n419 allocate the 78 hosts their subnet last?

3/ going by the same principle of highest to lowest why does the serial link in n418 appear in the middle of the allocation?

4/ why is subnet zero not used in n418 if it is telling you it is in use?

this questions threw me off as they make no sense whatsoever and come with no explanation of how the answer was arrived at


please explain  ???

I've been rolling with how2pass since my first test!  Excellent practice exams and simulators.  Thx How2Pass!

I thought an access list was applied to a router interface as outbound if it is exiting the LAN segment and inbound if it is arriving into the LAN segment from a different segment. So I'm confused as to why the correct answer is shown as

ip access-group 101 in

Should this not be out, since the frame from host 1 will be exiting the FA0/0 interface, heading outbound to the server? I'm so confused.

Can anyone share their experience regarding the preparation time? I want to use my vacation time to focus on the study. I am giving myself 1 week by studying official exam book plus some extra topics such as 802.1x and QoS, and one week for h2p practice. Will that sound good enough? This will be my first CCNP exam in the series.

Any one? Thanks in advance.
