Here are the answers to yesterday's Cisco certification exam practice questions!


CCNA:

What command would go on the blank line below if you wanted to perform equal-cost load-sharing in RIP over the most paths allowed by a Cisco router?

R2#conf t
R2(config)#router rip
R2(config-router)#

Answer: You'll need to use the maximum-paths 6 command. By default, RIP will perform equal-cost load-sharing over 4 paths, and this can be changed to a value of 1 - 6 with the maximum-paths command.


CCNP / BSCI:

Your OSPF virtual link has not come up as expected. What are some possible reasons?

A. The transit area is a broadcast network.

B. The transit area is a point-to-multipoint OSPF configuration.

C. Incorrect RID values have been configured.

D. The transit area is a stub area.

E. The transit area is a non-stub area.

F. The transit area is a total stub area.

G. Area 0 is configured for link authentication, but the virtual link is not.

Answers: C, D, F. G. If you use incorrect RIDs for the virtual-link command, it won't come up. You cannot use a stub or total stub area as a transit area. Finally, if Area 0 is using link authentication, the virtual link must be configured to do so as well.


CCNP / BCMSN:

From a LAN's point of view, what's transparent in Transparent LAN Service?

A. The WAN

B. The other LANs

C. The other hosts on the local LAN

D. None of these

Answer: A. From a LAN's point of view, the WAN is transparent. The LANs on the other side of the WAN all appear to be on a local segment.

See you later this morning with a new set of Cisco CCNA and CCNP questions!

To your success in 2007 and beyond,
