Here's your all-new CCNA  Training Post for Thursday, Dec. 19! A new CCNP post follows later today! Hey, I have a quick favor to ask before we get to today's questions.... ... if you're planning to buy a Kindle (or anything else from Amazon ), use this link to do so.   Amazon tosses us a few cents or a few bucks when you do that, and that helps us keep our Video Boot Camp prices low! And with six new courses coming in 2014 (no kidding), it all counts! Kindles And More On Amazon Thanks!  : )  Let's get to work on OSPF! 1.  What OSPF command would prevent Hello packets from being sent out a particular interface, while still allowing the network that interface resides on to be advertised to other routers? 2.  Where exactly would you configure that command?  (Don't say "On a Cisco router", that's not quite specific enough.) 3.  What is the exact command you would use on an Ethernet interface to double its default OSPF cost?

Here's your all-new CCNA and CCNP Training Post for Tuesday, December 17! A quick word before we get started...

D.  An external EIGRP route is one that's been learned via route redistribution. 3.   Which of the following

A.  None, since a static address must be configured for port security to function. B.  The next dynamically learned source MAC address. C.  The next dynamically learned destination MAC address. D.  One of the MAC addresses that were statically assigned to the CPU at the factory (a good reason to configure a different one!) Answers right after this brief, important break! You have
