Here are the answers to yesterday's CCNA and CCNP practice questions! CCNA : Short answer: After the initial exchange of routing tables, how often will EIGRP neighbors exchange routes?

Welcome back! Here are the answers to Sunday's Cisco certification exam practice questions! CCNA : A frame comes into a switch on port fast0/1. The switch does a lookup on the destination MAC, and sees that the destination is also found off fast0/1. What action describes how the frame will be handled? A. broadcast B. unicast C. forwarded D. filtered E. multicast Answer: D. That frame is filtered - that is, the switch drops it. CCNP / BSCI : Cisco OSPF design guidelines state that a router should be in no more than how many areas? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four E. Five Answer: C. Cisco recommends a router not be placed in more than three areas. CCNP / BCMSN : Which of the following is NOT true of a SPAN source port? A. It can be part of an Etherchannel . B.

Welcome back! Here are the answers to Saturday's Cisco certification training questions! CCNA : There is a range of addresses reserved for multicasting . Take the absolute highest number in that range and convert it to a binary string. Answer: The range is 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255; the binary representation for that last address is 11101111 11111111 11111111 11111111. CCNP / BSCI : What command will show whether a router's neighbors are or are not an ABR or ASBR ? Answer: show ip ospf border-routers. CCNP / BCMSN : What command places a physical switch port into a logical bundling of ports? Answer: To place ports into an Etherchannel , use the port-channel command.

OSPF F. Static routing Answer: B, D, E. RIPv 2, EIGRP , and OSPF are "classless" protocols; RIPv 1 and IGRP are " classful ". Static routing is not a protocol.

Welcome! Here are the answers to Wednesday's CCNA and CCNP questions! CCNA : Short answer: What's the default encapsulation for a Cisco BRI interface? Answer: HDLC . CCNP / BSCI : Short answer: List the EIGRP tables where a successor route can be found, and do the same for feasible successors. Answer: Successor routes are found in both the EIGRP topology and route tables. Feasible successors are found only in the EIGRP topology table. CCNP / BCMSN : Short answer: What's the minimum and maximum number of physical connections that can be placed into an Etherchannel on a 2950 switch? Answer: The minimum is two; the maximum is eight.
