Here are the answers to Saturday's Cisco CCNA and CCNP practice questions!
CCNA:
What summary route can be used to advertise the following four routes?
10.4.0.0 /16
10.5.0.0 /16
10.6.0.0 /16
10.7.0.0 /16
To manually summarize routes, break them down into binary. Then, working from left to right, note where the routes no longer have a bit in common. The value to the left of that point is your summary, and the number of bits in common is your subnet mask.
10.4.0.0 00001010 00000100 00000000 00000000
10.5.0.0 00001010 00000101 00000000 00000000
10.6.0.0 00001010 00000110 00000000 00000000
10.7.0.0 00001010 00000111 00000000 00000000
Working from left to right, these are the common bits: 00001010 000001
The value is 10.4.0.0. There are 14 bits here, so the mask is /14 in prefix notation, or 255.252.0.0 in dotted decimal. (Watch that on exam day - they're the same mask, just different formats.)
CCNP / BSCI:
What is the default OSPF network type for a serial subinterface configured as point-to-point?
A. point-to-point
B. point-to-multipoint
C. broadcast
D. non-broadcast
Answer: If you thought this was a trick question, it wasn't. The point-to-point interface will default to an OSPF ptp network type.
CCNP / BCRAN:
What command will immediately tell you whether the SPIDs and ISDN switch type have been successfully configured?
A. show dialer
B. show isdn status
C. show isdn spids
D. show switchtype
E. show isdn statistics
Answer: B. show isdn status gives you information on layers 1 - 3, as well as SPID validity information.
CCNP / BCMSN:
When Uplinkfast is enabled, how long will it take the new root port to go from blocking to forwarding?
A. About 50 seconds.
B. About 1 - 3 seconds.
C. About 30 seconds.
D. About 20 seconds
Answer: B.
.CCNP / CIT:
You want to view only the local Windows host's ARP cache. Which of the following commands, issues on that workstation, will give you that information?
A. arp -d
B. arp - s
C. arp - g
D. arp - a
Answers: C, D. Both arp -a and arp -g do the same thing - display the arp cache.
C:\>arp -a
Interface: 192.168.1.101 --- 0x2

I seem to have had some posts disappear, so once again, here are the answers to Friday's Cisco CCNA and CCNP practice questions!
CCNA:
What are the default criteria used to permit or deny traffic in an extended ACL?
Answer: In an extended ACL, both the source and destination IP addresses will be considered.
CCNP / BSCI:
What BGP attribute is specifically designed to prevent routing loops?
Answer: The AS_PATH attribute; if a router receives a BGP packet and sees its own AS number in the AS_PATH, that router knows a routing loop has occurred.
CCNP / BCMSN:
What interface-level command would place a port into a mode where it could send or receive data, but not do so simultaneously?
Answer: This describes half-duplex Ethernet, so the correct command will be duplex half.
CCNP / BCRAN:
What form of load balancing uses NAT as its primary mechanism?
Answer: TCP Load Distribution uses NAT.
CCNP / CIT:
What command output contains the following TCP and UDP statistics?
UDP statistics:
Rcvd: 0 total, 0 checksum errors, 0 no port
Sent: 2 total, 0 forwarded broadcasts
TCP statistics: Rcvd: 0 total, 0 checksum errors, 0 no port
Sent: 0 total
Answer: That's the partial output of show ip traffic.

Here are the answers to Thursday night's Cisco CCNA and CCNP practice questions!
The CCNA and CCNP CIT question comes first - because they're the same question!
CCNA / CCNP CIT:
Examine the following router-on-a-stick configuration and identify the true statements.
interface fast 1/0
no ip address
interface fast 1/0.20
ip address 100.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
encapsulation dot1q 10
interface fast 1/0.10
ip address 200.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
encapsulation dot1q 20
A. The trunking protocol in use is the industry standard.
B. The trunking protocol in use is Cisco-proprietary.
C. Hosts in VLAN 20 should use 200.1.1.1 as their default gateway.
D. Hosts in VLAN 20 should use 100.1.1.1 as their default gateway.
E. The switch between the hosts and this router can be a 2950.
F. The switch between the hosts and this router cannot be a 2950.
Answer: A, C, F. Dot1q is the industry standard trunking protocol, while ISL is Cisco-proprietary. The statement encapsulation dot1q 20 under the subinterface with the IP address 200.1.1.1 indicates that VLAN 20 will be using this interface as its default gateway. And finally, since dot1q is in use, the switch could be a 2950; 2950 switches do not run ISL, so if the router were configured for ISL, the configuration would be invalid.
CCNP / BSCI:
Identify the metrics for Cisco's version of ISIS.
A. cost
B. delay
C. expense
D. error
E. default
Answer: A, E. The only ISIS metric Cisco supports is "cost" (also referred to as "default"), it is 10 by default for all links regardless of interface speed, and is configurable.
CCNP / BCRAN:
You're in privileged exec mode. What number privilege level do you have? Short answer, no choices given.
Answer: Privilege level 15, the highest level.
CCNP / BCMSN:
How often are VTP Summary Advertisements sent by a VTP Server?
A. Every 5 minutes.
B. Every 5 minutes or upon a change in the VLAN database.
C. Upon a change in the VLAN database only.
D. Upon a reload.
Answer: B. Summary Ads are sent every 5 minutes or upon a change in the VLAN database.

Answer: A, C, F. Dot1q is the industry standard trunking protocol, while ISL is Cisco-proprietary. The statement encapsulation dot1q 20 under the subinterface with the IP address 200.1.1.1 indicates that VLAN 20 will be using this interface as its default gateway. And finally, since dot1q is in use, the switch could be a 2950; 2950 switches do not run ISL, so if the router were configured for ISL, the configuration would be invalid.
CCNP / BSCI:
Identify the metrics for Cisco's version of ISIS.
A. cost
B. delay
C. expense
D. error
E. default
Answer: A, E. The only ISIS metric Cisco supports is "cost" (also referred to as "default"), it is 10 by default for all links regardless of interface speed, and is configurable.
CCNP / BCRAN:
You're in privileged exec mode. What number privilege level do you have? Short answer, no choices given.
Answer: Privilege level 15, the highest level.
CCNP / BCMSN:
How often are VTP Summary Advertisements sent by a VTP Server?
A. Every 5 minutes.
B. Every 5 minutes or upon a change in the VLAN database.
C. Upon a change in the VLAN database only.
D. Upon a reload.
Answer: B. Summary Ads are sent every 5 minutes or upon a change in the VLAN database.

Here are the answers to Wednesday morning's CCNA and CCNP practice questions!
CCNA:
Regarding access control lists, what is true of the term implicit deny?
A. If traffic isn't expressly permitted, it is implicitly denied.
B. Only standard ACLs end with an implicit deny.
C. ACLs containing only deny statements will not have an implicit deny.
D. All ACLs end with an implicit deny.
Answer: A, D. For traffic to be permitted, it must match a permit statement in the ACL, or the implicit deny will deny it.
CCNP / BSCI:
After the initial exchange of LSAs, an OSPF router sends LSAs after detecting or being informed of a change in the network topology. Is there another time an OSPF-enabled router will send LSAs?
A. No.
B. Yes, every 30 minutes.
C. Yes. Depending on the network type, an OSPF router will send LSAs along with its Hello.
D. Yes, every 90 seconds.
Answer: B. OSPF-enabled routers send updates at three different times. First, upon first creating an adjacency with a new neighbor, the router will advertise all its links. Second, when a change is detected in the network topology, the router will advertise the affected LSAs only. Third, an OSPF router will send LSAs every 30 minutes.
CCNP / BCMSN:
Identify the true statements regarding CoS.
A. CoS is as L2 QoS value.
B. CoS is an L3 QoS value.
C. CoS can be assigned as data is switched from one port to another on the same switch.
D. CoS can be assigned as frames are sent across a trunk.
Answer: A, C. CoS is an L2 QoS value that can be assigned as frames are prepared to cross a trunk.
CCNP / BCRAN:
Identify the PRI linecode types.
A. b8zs
B. hdb3
C. t1
D. e1
E. sf
F. esf
G. ami
H. crc4
Answer: A, B, G. The PRI linecode types are b8zs, ami, and hdb3.
CCNP / CIT:
Examine the following partial output of show interface serial0.
R1#show interface serial0
Serial0 is down, line protocol is down
Hardware is HD64570
Internet address is 172.12.123.1/24
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, reliability 250/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation FRAME-RELAY, loopback not set
Keepalive set (10 sec)
What is the most likely cause of the current issue?
A. The keepalive timer doesn't match the remote device.
B. The encapsulation type doesn't match the remote device.
C. The serial port is shut down.
D. The cable is disconnected from the serial port.
E. The frame mapping statements haven't been written and Inverse ARP has been turned off.
Answer: D. With both the physical and logical states of the interface showing as down, the cable being loose is the most likely culprit. If the keepalive were the problem, the physical interface would show as up; if the port were shut down, the physical interface would show as administratively down.

You're considering which routing protocol to run on your network. It is a multivendor environment, and your subnetting scheme demands VLSM support. Which protocol(s) is/are appropriate for this task?
A. RIPv1
B. RIPv2
C. IGRP
D. EIGRP
E. OSPF
Answer: B, E. Both RIPv2 and OSPF are suitable for multivendor environments and can support VLSM. RIPv1 doesn't support VLSM and both IGRP and EIGRP are Cisco-proprietary protocols.
CCNP / BSCI:
Identify BGP's well-known attributes.
A. AS_PATH
B. LOCAL_PREF
C. origin
D. next-hop
E. aggregate
F. atomic aggregate
Answer: A, B, C, D, F. AS_PATH, next-hop, and next-hop are well-known mandatory attributes; LOCAL_PREF and atomic aggregate are well-known discretionary attributes.
CCNP / BCMSN:
Short answer: What command, placed on the VTY lines, allows a user connecting to a switch via Telnet directly info privileged exec mode?
Answer: privilege level 15.
CCNP / BCRAN:
What term refers to the process of tracking a user's network activities, possibly for billing purposes?
A. Authentication
B. Authorization
C. Accounting
D. Accountability
Answer: C.
CCNP / CIT:
A frame relay hub-and-spoke network consists of a single hub (R1) and two spokes (R2 and R3). There is IP connectivity between the three. They're each advertising a loopback network via RIP. The RIP tables on all three routers are empty. What is most likely the issue?
A. The frame map statements have the wrong IP addresses.
B. The frame map statements are incomplete.
C. The frame map statements are pointing back to the local router's own DLCI.
D. The issue is most likely at Layer 3.
Answer: B. Most likely, the frame map statements are incomplete - they're probably missing the broadcast option, which enables the router to send broadcasts and multicasts over the frame.
See you later tonight with a fresh-baked batch of fresh Cisco CCNA and CCNP practice questions!

Here are the answers to Monday night's Cisco CCNA and CCNP certification practice questions!
CCNA:
A client calls you in an absolute panic. The client made some changes to the running config, saved them with "copy run start", and reloaded the router. The client tells you that the router is asking him something about a "configuration dialogue" instead of totally reloading. What is most likely the problem?
A. The flash memory is corrupt.
B. The NVRAM is corrupt.
C. The configuration was saved incorrectly.
D. The configuration register value is set incorrectly.
E. The RAM is corrupt.
Answer: D. Most likely, someone changed the configuration register value to ignore the NVRAM, probably for password recovery. The configuration register just needs to be set back to its default setting so the startup configuration can be read upon a reboot.
CCNP / BSCI:
Short answer: What's the AD of ISIS?
Answer: 115, right between OSPF's 110 and RIP's 120.
CCNP / BCMSN:

I was reading The Big Moo: Stop Trying To Be Perfect and Start Being Remarkable this morning, and I’d recommend a copy of this to anyone who wants to improve their career and their future. And that’s all of us, right? : )
There was one particular line that really stood out to me:
Betting on change is always the safest bet available.
That describes life perfectly, but it also describes a career in Information Technology perfectly as well. There is no field in the world that has the constant and never-ending changes that IT does. And every single one of us can look at this as a massive opportunity for personal and professional growth.
Is that how you’re looking at it?
I remember when I passed my first certification exam, the Novell 3.1x CNA, back in 1997. Man, I thought I knew it all then. : ) But I quickly learned that you’ve got to keep learning in IT. I also learned that if you’re willing to put in the work and make the sacrifices, there’s no other field with the limitless potential for growth and excellence.
Like everyone else, my career has had its ups and downs, but I always kept learning and growing. Today, I’ve got my dream job, working with students and customers just like you – to help you create your own future.
The next 18 months are filled with endless possibilities, particularly with the rapid growth of VoIP and Microsoft Vista on the horizon. There will be those who rationalize their inertia, saying “I’ll never have to support those, so I don’t need to learn them.”
There will also be those who see VoIP and Vista as enormous opportunities to learn and advance in their careers and their lives. These people will get started today, learning the fundamentals of Cisco and advancing their networking knowledge in order to be ready for opportunities as they come along.
You can’t start studying and learning when the opportunity arrives – you’ve got to be ready when opportunity knocks. If you’ve been putting off studying for a Cisco or other computer certification – and I know the summer is a really good time for putting off studying – get back on track today.
Because you never know what opportunities are going to come along – but you do know that when they do, you’ve got to be ready to take advantage.
After all, opportunity only knocks once!
To your personal and professional success,

B. Frame Relay
C. Cisco-proprietary HDLC
D. Industry-standard HDLC
Answer: C. Cisco has its own version of HDLC, and that's the default for a serial interface.

You've put multihoming into effect in your BGP AS. The router that is communicating with your ISPs is low on memory and CPU. What type of routes would it benefit your router to receive from the ISP?
A. Default routes
B. Default routes and some more-specific routes
C. All the more-specific routes
D. BGP routes only
Answer: A. When your AS is multihoming, the router that is communicating with your ISP should have as much memory and CPU as possible. If that router happens to be low on these resources, the ISP should besending this router default routes, which have the lowest impact on CPU and memory. If CPU and memory are not really a concern, your router should be getting the more-specific routes. There is a middle ground where your ISP could send a default route and some more-specific routes as well.
CCNP / BCMSN:
If inter-VLAN traffic is matched against a VLAN ACL, and no match is found, what term(s) best describes the action that will be taken?
A. permitted

CCNA:
The default encapsulation type for a Cisco serial or BRI interface is what?
A. PPP
B. Frame Relay
C. Cisco-proprietary HDLC
D. Industry-standard HDLC
Answer: C. Cisco has its own version of HDLC, and that's the default for a serial interface.
CCNP / BCSI:
You've put multihoming into effect in your BGP AS. The router that is communicating with your ISPs is low on memory and CPU. What type of routes would it benefit your router to receive from the ISP?
A. Default routes
B. Default routes and some more-specific routes
C. All the more-specific routes
D. BGP routes only
Answer: A. When your AS is multihoming, the router that is communicating with your ISP should have as much memory and CPU as possible. If that router happens to be low on these resources, the ISP should besending this router default routes, which have the lowest impact on CPU and memory. If CPU and memory are not really a concern, your router should be getting the more-specific routes. There is a middle ground where your ISP could send a default route and some more-specific routes as well.
CCNP / BCMSN:
If inter-VLAN traffic is matched against a VLAN ACL, and no match is found, what term(s) best describes the action that will be taken?
A. permitted
B. filtered
C. denied
D. broadcast
E. multicast
F. unicast
Answer: C. That traffic will be denied.
CCNP / BCRAN:
What ISDN reference point is found between an NT1 device and the telco's line-termination equipment?

Here are the answers to Saturday morning's Cisco CCNA and CCNP practice questions!
CCNA:
Host A wants to transmit data to Host B. Host A knows Host B's IP address, but not its MAC address. Two routers and a hub separate the hosts. What protocol will allow Host A to successfully transmit data to Host B?
A. ARP
B. Proxy ARP
C. Inverse ARP
D. Reverse ARP
Answer: B. Host A will send an ARP Request, but since there's a router between the two hosts, Host B will not receive it because routers don't forward broadcasts. The router will instead answer the ARP Request with the MAC address of the ethernet interface that received the ARP request - that's Proxy ARP in operation.
CCNP / BSCI:By default, how does an OSPF routing table indicate routes that were learned by the OSPF domain via redistribution?
A. O E2
B. O E1
C. O EX
D. O EX *
E. O IA
F. O IA *
Answer: A. The route will be marked as OSPF External Type-2, or E2.
CCNP / BCMSN:
A switch's priority is at is default setting, and it has a MAC address of aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. What is this switch's BID in the root bridge election? (Short answer)
Answer: 32768:aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa
CCNP / BCRAN:
Where will such attributes as the Bc and CIR be defined when Frame Relay Traffic Shaping is in use?
A. Under the appropriate serial interface.
B. Globally.
C. Under the appropriate routing protocol.
D. In a map class.
E. In a distribute-list.
F. In a prefix-list.
Answer: D. The actual values are set in a map class, and the map class is then applied to the appropriate interface or virtual circuits.
CCNP / CIT:The traceroute you just started running is returning only asterisks. Problem is, they just keep coming and coming. What is the escape sequence for a traceroute?
A. ctrl-shift-del
B. ctrl-shift-6, ctrl-shift-6
C. ctrl-shift-6, x
D. ctrl-shift-break
E. ctrl-break
Answer: B. To terminate a traceroute or ping, just presstwice.

Write and Rewrite Your Goals
The more you write and rewrite your goals and the more you think about them, the clearer you will become about them. The clearer you are about what you want, the more likely you are to do more and more of the things that are consistent with achieving them. Meanwhile, you will do fewer and fewer of the things that don’t help to get the things you really want.

H. Tc: 125 nanoseconds
I: Tc: 125 decaseconds
Answer: A, C, D, G. The defaults for VCs subject to FRTS but not expressly configured with a map class: Adaptive Shaping off, Bc 7000, CIR 56000, Tc 125 milliseconds (1/8th of a second).
CCNP / CIT:
Short answer: You're configuring router-on-a-stick with a 2600 router and a 2950 switch.
What router port must be used?
What encapsulation choices are available to the router in order for ROAS to work correctly?
Answer: The minimum acceptable port speed for ROAS is Fast Ethernet. A regular Ethernet port will not work. You'll have to use dot1q encapsulation on the router, since that's the only trunking encap type that a 2950 will run - 2950s do not run ISL.

A. Ignore the contents of NVRAM.
B. Erase the contents of NVRAM.
C. Erase the contents of RAM.
D. Ignore the contents of RAM.
E. Erase the existing enable password.
F. Erase both the existing enable and secret passwords.
Answer: A. That config register setting tells the router to ignore the NVRAM contents.
CCNP / BSCI:
Four routers are competing to be the OSPF DR on an Ethernet segment. The highest IP address of each router is listed below. Which router will become the DR?
R1: loopback0, 100.1.1.1 /24
R2: loopback0, 200.1.1.1 /24
R3: loopback100 , 3.3.3.3 /24
R4: loopback200, 4.4.4.4 /32
Answer: R2. The router with the highest OSPF RID will be the DR, and the highest IP address on a loopback address will be that router's RID. R2's RID will be the highest.
CCNP / BCMSN:
A VTP switch has a revision number of 5. This switch receives a VTP advertisement with a revision number of 6. What action(s) will this switch take?
A. Accept the advertisement
B. Reject the advertisement
C. Increment its revision number
D. Decrement its revision number
E. Reset its revision number to zero
Answer: A, C. Since the revision number of the ad is higher than the local switch's revision number, the ad is accepted. The local switch will then increment its own revision number.

When people say to me: "How do you do so many things?" I often answer them without meaning to be cruel: "How do you do so little?" It seems to me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people sit in front of the TV and treat life as if it goes on forever.

Here are the answers to Wednesday night's Cisco CCNA and CCNP practice questions!
CCNA:
What statements are true of fragment-free switching?
A. There is virtually no error checking.
B. There is some error checking.
C. The switch looks only at the destination MAC address before beginning to forward the frame.
D. The switch looks at the first 64 bytes before beginning to forward the frame.
Answer: B, D. The "middle ground" of switching mode, fragment-free switching provides some error checking by verifying the first 64 bytes of the frame, which is where most errors occur.
CCNP / BCSI:
You enter the following two statements into your router. What is the result?
Router(config)#ip route 172.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 fast0

Here are the answers to Wednesday morning's Cisco CCNA and CCNP practice questions!
CCNA:In the MAC address 11-22-33-44-55-66, what portion of the address is the OUI?
A. 11-22-33
B. 44-55-66
C. 11-22
D. 55-66
E. From the information given, it's not possible to determine the OUI.
F. None of the above.
Answer: A. The first half of a MAC address is the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI).
CCNP / BSCI:
You want one of your IGRP routers to advertise a default route. The use of which of the following commands is the most efficient way of doing so?
A. default-information originate
B. default-information originate always
C. ip default-gateway
D. ip default-network
Answer: D. With IGRP, there's just one way to propagate a default route, and that's with the ip default-network command. IGRP doesn't accept a route to 0.0.0.0, the default-information originate commands are OSPF commands, and ip default-gateway should be used only when IP routing is off.
CCNP / BCMSN:
A switch has two paths to the root bridge. One is direct, the other goes through another switch. You want to lessen the delay that will occur if the current root port goes down. What Cisco feature can help?
A. Portfast
B. Backbonefast
C. Uplinkfast
D. BPDU Skewing
Answer: C. Uplinkfast can help. When the root port goes down, the currently blocked port will be placed info forwarding mode almost immediately.
CCNP / BCRAN:
What fields do PPP frames and HDLC frames have in common?
A. flags
B. address
C. control
D. protocol
E. data
Answer: D. PPP and HDLC share all these fields except the protocol field.
