"Thanks for your help in my CCNA cert progress - I took the test today and passed on my first try - I can say, I owe you one!" - Juan Gonzales, New CCNA!
"I passed my CCNA exam today with a score of 910. Your study materials are right on!" - Richard Anderson, New CCNA!
"I finished the CCNA this time with 21 minutes to spare and scored a 923!
I most definitely would not have passed without your study material. Your study guide is the most comprehensive and complete of all the CCNA material I have seen. Your study guide has enabled me to change my circumstances far beyond what you may realize. And for that, I can not thank you enough." - George Montany, New CCNA!
The current version of the CCNA exam (640-801) will be phased out on November 6, which gives you plenty of time to get started now and pass before that date. (And with IPv6, RSTP, and many other topics added to the 640-802 CCNA exam, a lot of people will want to pass before then!)
To help you get CCNA certified with the 640-801 exam, I'm making a guarantee that no other training company will make:
When you purchase my current Ultimate CCNA Study Package now, I guarantee you'll pass the current CCNA exam before it's phased out in November, or I'll set you up with a brand new Ultimate CCNA Study Package for the 640-802 exam at that time!
I know that every single one of you can pass the CCNA exam before November, and that's why I'm making this incredible guarantee. If something happens in the meantime to slow your study progress, you don't have to worry about shelling out more money for study materials for the new exam - I'll set you up for FREE.
No other company is going to make that guarantee! You literally can't lose - you either become a CCNA before November or I'll give you everything you need to pass the next version of the CCNA exam.
Just click this link and order today - and you and I will work together to make you a CCNA!

CCNA Certification:
What value(s) does a Cisco switch use to dynamically build its bridging table?
A. Source MAC address
B. Destination MAC address
C. Source IP address
D. Destination IP address

A. Process switching
B. CEF switching
C. Fast switching
D. CDP switching
Answer: B. CEF switching is faster than fast switching, which in turn is faster than process switching. There's no such thing as CDP switching.
CCNP Certification / ONT Exam:
Short answer: What is VAD, and what is its basic purpose? Hint: The "V" stands for Voice.
Answer: Voice Activity Detection (VAD) does much what it sounds like it does - it detects when you're talking and when you're not. VAD stops transmission when you're not saying anything in a VoIP conversation, which helps to save bandwidth.

Here are the answers to Wednesday's Cisco exam practice questions!
CCNA Exam:
By default, what traffic resets the dialer idle-timeout value?
A. All traffic.
B. No traffic.
C. All interesting traffic.
D. All non-interesting traffic.
E. All IP traffic.
F. All traffic defined by the "dialer-list" command.
Answers: C, F. Interesting traffic resets the dialer idle-timer, and interesting traffic is that traffic defined by the "dialer-list" command.
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
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 only.
B. Default routes and some more-specific routes.
C. All normal, 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 be sending this router default routes only, 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 Certification / BCMSN Exam:
Which two of the following port types cannot be configured for a dynamic VLAN assignment?
A. Ports running port security.
B. Trunking-enabled ports
C. Access ports
D. Fast Ethernet ports
Answers: A, B. If a port is protected with port security, or is in any mode that would allow it to become a trunk, it cannot receive a VLAN membership dynamically.
CCNP Certification / ISCW Exam:
Short answer: What two numerical ranges are used by standard ACLs?
Answer: 1 - 99 and 1300 - 1399.
CCNP Certification / ONT Exam:

Here are the answers to Sunday's Cisco Certification exam practice questions!
CCNA Certification:
You want to configure your router to use the DNS server at 10.1.1.5, and no broadcasts should be sent. The router is currently set at the default behavior for DNS server location.
The full command to do this is ____________ .
Answer: ip name-server 10.1.1.5.
Since the default behavior of the router is to broadcast for a DNS server to perform name resolution, this simply needs to be changed to the following command:
R1(config)#ip name-server 10.1.1.5
R1#jdukeTranslating "jduke"...domain server (10.1.1.5)
Note that a domain server is still being referred to, but it is no longer a broadcast.
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
What combination of hex characters at the beginning of an IPV6 address indicates a broadcast?
Answer: None - IPv6 doesn't use broadcasts.
CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:
In what VTP modes can VLANs be created?
Answer: Server and Transparent.
CCNP Certification / ISCW Exam:
What single command would create a username/password in the local router's database with a username of larry and an encrypted password of winget?
Answer: username larry secret winget. By using the secret option there instead of the more-common password command, the password will be encrypted.
CCNP Certification / ONT Exam:
Explain the term "war driving" as it relates to wireless security.
Answer: Basically, this term refers to the act of driving around looking for an unprotected wireless network in order to use that network with your laptop or other device.

Here are the answers to Friday's Cisco questions!
CCNA Certification:
The default priority of an interface connected to an OSPF segment is ____________.
Answer: 1. Don't get priority confused with cost - the cost of an OSPF-enabled interface will vary according to that port's speed, but the default priority does not depend on speed.
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
What does an IPv6 address beginning with 2002 and carrying a /48 prefix indicate?
Answer: 6to4 tunnel edge routers (the IPv6 routers that are communicating with each other through the IPv4 cloud) carry an IPv6 address beginning with 2002, followed by their IPv4 address expressed in hex, and carry a /48 prefix.
CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:
What VTP advertisement is sent by the VTP server only upon a change in the VLAN database?
Answer: Subset advertisements are sent by the VTP server only when there's a change in the VLAN database. This ad will contain the new name of the VLAN, the new MTU (if it's been changed), the VLAN type, and whether the VLAN was created, deleted, activated, or suspended.
CCNP Certification / ISCW Exam:
What's the basic difference between a symmetric key and an asymmetric key?
(The answer "one letter" is not acceptable. Nice try, though!)
Answer: Symmetric keys such as DES, 3DES, and AES use a single value to encrypt and unencrypt data. Asymmetric keys such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman use separate values for encryption and decryption.
CCNP Certification / ONT Exam:
What does RSVP do? RSVP is used by which QoS model(s)?
Answer: The Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) assign a source-to-destination level of service that is guaranteed by each router along that path. Basically, bandwidth is reserved for the data in advance of the data actually using the bandwidth! RSVP is part of the Integrated Services (IntServ) model.

Here are the answers to Thursday's Cisco certification exam practice questions!
CCNA Exam:
Consider the configuration below and identify the true statement.
R3(config)#router rip
R3(config-router)#network 172.12.0.0
A. The router will send RIPv1 updates and accept v1 and v2 updates.
B. The router will accept and send updates for both RIPv1 and v2.
C. The router will accept and send updates for RIPv1 only.
D. The router will accept and send updates for RIPv2 only.
Answer: A. Since the version command isn't seen in the config, the RIP default of sending V1 updates and accepting both V1 and V2 updates is in effect.
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
What LSA type is generated by an ABR and describe inter-area links?
A. Type 1
B. Type 2
C. Type 3
D. Type 4
E. Type 5
F. Type 6
G. Type 7
Answer: C. Type 3 LSAs are generated by ABRs and describe inter-area routes.
CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:
What command puts a VTP device into Secure mode?
A. vtp password
B. vtp secure
C. vtp encrypt
D. vtp endorse
Answer: A. VTP Secure mode is a fancy way of saying that a VTP password is in effect.
CCNP Certification / ISCW Exam:
Briefly describe the purpose and operation of "NAT Traversal".
Answer: NAT Traversal prevents a potential issue when NAT is used in conjunction with Encapsulating Security Protocol's (ESP) tunnel mode. Tunnel mode encrypts the original TCP/UDP header, which means the port number is hidden from the NAT process.
NAT Traversal works around this by placing an additional UDP header onto the packet. The NAT process will use the port number in that header, and all is well!
CCNP Certification / ONT Exam:
Which of the following is NOT a type of analog connection supported by Cisco routers?
A. FXS
B. FXO
C. E&M
D. CCS
Answers: A, B, C. Cisco routers support Foreign Exchange Station (FXS), Foreign Exchange Office (FXO), and E&M. CCS is Common Channel Signaling, and that's digital, not analog.

Here are the answers to Tuesday's Cisco certification exam practice questions!
CCNA Exam:
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
Answer: 10.4.0.0 255.252.0.0, or 10.4.0.0 /14 in prefix notation.
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
That gives us 10.4.0.0, and the subnet mask will have the first 14 bits set to 1. That results in a decimal value of 255.252.0.0.
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
You are examining an IPv6 address and notice two consecutive colons. What does this represent, if anything?
Answer: Those two colons represent a string of zeros. This is referred to as zero compression, but can only be done once in a single IPv6 address. Leading zero compression, though, can be done as many times as is appropriate in an IPv6 address.
Original format: 1234:1234:0000:0000:0000:0000:3456:3434
Using zero compression: 1234:1234::3456:3434
CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:
How many bytes are added to a frame as a result of ISL encapsulation?
The header is 26 bytes, the trailer containing the CRC value is 4 bytes, for a total of 30 bytes.
CCNP Certification / ISCW Exam:
What command disables ICMP redirects?
Answer: no ip redirects.
CCNP Certification / ONT Exam:
What number and name are given to the highest possible CoS value?
Answer: The highest possible CoS value is 7 (111 in binary), known commonly as Network.

Here are the answers to Friday's Cisco certification practice questions!
CCNA Certification:
By default, what values are considered by IGRP and EIGRP when computing a path's metric?
A. bandwidth
B. cost
C. delay
D. load
E. MTU
Answers: A, C. Bandwith and delay are used by default; MTU and load can be used, but are not used by default. Cost is the term used for an OSPF route's metric.
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
Which of the following is NOT one of the activities at the distribution layer of the Cisco Three-Layer Hierarchical Model?
A. traffic filtering
B. internet access
C. policy routing
D. inter-VLAN routing
E. end user interaction with the network
F. route redistribution
G. address aggregation & summarization
Answer: E. End users interact with the network at the Access layer of this model.
CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:
What term refers to the process of the switch placing data into the proper egress queue?
A. marking
B. scheduling
C. trusting
D. classification
Answer: B. The term "scheduling" refers to the process of the switch placing data into the proper exit ("egress") queue.
CCNP Certification / ISCW Exam:
Short answer: You're halfway through Setup mode when you realize that you would rather configure the router from the CLI. What keystroke will bring you to the CLI without saving any of the configuration you're created so far?
Answer: CTRL-C. A handy one to know even if you're not working on the CCNP!
CCNP Certification / ONT Exam:
Short answer: What queueing method presents a potential issue known as "packet starvation"? What does this term mean?
Answer: Priority queueing has four queues, named in accordance with the priority given to the packets in them - High, Medium, Normal, Low. PW does not use round-robin, so if too many packets are placed in the higher-priority queues, packets in the lower-priority queues stand a chance of never being serviced properly.
