It's Saturday, November 15, and it's time for us to take a look at the answers to Thursday's Cisco practice exam questions!
I posted quite a few new free Cisco training videos this past week, with over 30 more to come over the next six weeks - be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel to be the first to know of new videos! Details in today's other blog posts!
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:
You're connecting two Cisco 2950 switches, and you want to create a trunk between them. What cable is required? Also, assuming the switches are at their defaults, what additional commands are needed to create the trunk?
Answer: You'll need a crossover cable. If the 2950s are at their defaults, you will need no additional commands as the ports will attempt to form a trunk dynamically.
That can present a security issue, which brings us to our next question!
CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:
In the scenario presented in the above question, name three security features or practices you should consider configuring to prevent a rogue switch gaining access to your network.
Answer: You should consider using Root Guard, Port Guard, or using a unused VLAN as the default VLAN on the trunk.
You could also disable the transmission of Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) frames.
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
The variance command changes which of the following EIGRP values?
A. Advertised Distance
B. Feasible Distance
C. Both of these
D. Neither of these
Answer: D. The variance command doesn't actually change either of those values. Watch your routing tables the next time you run an EIGRP lab and you'll see this!
You have a PDLM file in Flash, ccnp.pdlm, that you'd like to load as part of your NBAR configuration. What command will do this?
Answer: Loading a PDLM (assuming the PDLM is in Flash) :
R2(config)#ip nbar pdlm ?
WORD Full path of the PDLM file
R2(config)#ip nbar pdlm flash://ccnp.pdlm
New questions later today!
To your success,
