$ 60 - This protocol is considered the "manager" of a PPP connection

What is LCP, the Link Control Protocol?

$ 80 - These are the three default Frame Relay LMI types

$60 - These three commands must be on a router before SDM can be used

What are "ip http server", "ip http secure-server", and "ip http authentication local"? (For one of these, you could have said that a username/password combination granting a privilege level of 15 is needed as well.)

$80 - These three "V"s must be considered when configuring firewalls

What are voice, VPNs, and video?

$100 - It's this command that defines the time allowed for a TCP handshake to reach the Established stage

What is "ip inspect tcp sywait-time"?

The subject is... BGP.

$20 - It's this port that BGP uses to establish neighbor adjacencies

What is TCP port 179?

$40 - In the neighbor command, these are the two required numeric values

What are the IP address of the neighbor and that neighbor's AS number?

$60 - They're the two well-known discretionary BGP attributes

What are local preference and atomic aggregate?

$80 - The BGP attribute Local Preference uses this for a default setting

What is 100?

$100 - Assuming Cisco routers are in use, this is the 4th tiebreaker in the BGP best-path selection process

CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

The subject is ... Multilayer Switching.

$20 - Not enabled by default, this must be enabled for a multilayer switch to run CEF

What is IP routing?

$40 - Other terms for this include "Layer 3 engine" and "Layer 3 forwarding engine"

$100 - Of routed ports, SVIs, and Layer 3 port-channels, these are the interface types that support HSRP on a multilayer switch

What is "all of them"?

CCNP / ONT Exam:

The subject is.... queuing. (Or queueing, depending on which book you're reading!)

$20 - It's the default queuing scheme for interfaces running at over E1 speed

What is FIFO, or "first in, first out"?

$60 - Three of the four criteria commonly used to define a WFQ traffic flow

What are "source or destination IP address", "source or destination port number", "protocol number", and "ToS"?

$80 - The maximum number of queues available in CBWFQ

What is 64?

$100 - These two common CBWFQ commands can't be used in the same policy map
