Good morning! Here's the first of two sets of Cisco CCNA and CCNP practice questions! CCNA: By default, how many paths does RIP use for unequal-cost load-sharing? A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 3 E. 4 F. 5 G. 6 CCNP / BSCI: Which of the following protocols will not advertise a redistributed route unless a seed metric is expressly assigned during redistribution? A. RIPv1 B. RIPv2 C. IGRP D. EIGRP F. OSPF G. ISIS CCNP / BCMSN: R3's fast 0/10 port is configured with Root Guard. An inferior BPDU is received on that port. As a result, what state will the port be put into? A. err-disabled B. port-inconsistent C. blocking D. No action will be taken. CCNP / BCRAN: The command random-detect enables which queueing strategy? A. WFQ B. RED C. WRED D. PQ CCNP / CIT: From lowest to highest Administrative Distance, what is the proper order for the following protocols? Short answer, no choices given. Internal EIGRP, External EIGRP, Internal OSPF, External OSPF, RIP version 1, RIPv2 See you later today with...

Here are Friday night's Cisco CCNA and CCNP certification exam practice questions! All Friday questions are short answer! CCNA: What are EIGRP's three tables? CCNP / BSCI: You have a three-area OSPF deployment, each with three routers. No other protocols are involved. One network is a hub-and-spoke network only; the other two areas are broadcast segments only. How many ASBRs are in the entire OSPF area? CCNP / BCRAN: A server in a server farm using TCP Load Distribution goes down. What protocol will this feature use to notify the NAT router of this server going down? CCNP / BCMSN: Switchport fast 0/10 is configured with Root Guard. A superior BPDU is received on that port. What will happen? CCNP / CIT: What exactly is "helped" by the command ip helper-address?

Here are the answers to Thursday night's CCNA and CCNP practice questions! CCNA:Which of the following indicates a static default route? A. S B. S* C. DEF D. GATEWAY Answer: B. Default static routes are indicated with an S followed immediately by an asterisk. CCNP / BSCI: By default, what percentage of an interface's bandwidth can be used by EIGRP? A. 25% B. 50% C. 75% D. 100% Answer: B. CCNP / BCRAN: Identify the true statements regarding G.lite. A. It's "splitterless". B. It's "splitter-dependent". C. It's slower than typical ADSL. D. It's faster than typical ADSL. E. It's faster than a typical dialup connection. F. It's slower than a typical dialup connection. Answers: A, C, F. G.lite is splitterless (careful how you say that, sailor), and while it is slower than ADSL, it's faster than a dialup connection. CCNP / BCMSN: In an Etherchannel, what mathematical operation decides the physical channel that will actually carry the dat...

Here are the answers to the first of two sets of Cisco CCNA and CCNP certification exam practice questions from Thursday! CCNA: Identify the Frame Relay LMI types. A. ANSI (the default) B. Cisco (the default) C. q933a D. ietf E. ansi F. Cisco G. q9331 (the default) H. ietf (the default) Answers: B, C, E. The LMI types are Cisco, ansi, and q933a, with Cisco serving as the default. CCNP / BSCI: What is the first value considered in the BGP path selection process by a non-Cisco router? A. weight B. LOCAL_PREF C. AS_PATH D. origin E. aggregate F. atomic aggregate Answer: B. On a Cisco router, weight is the first consideration. However, weight is a Cisco-proprietary BGP attribute. A non-Cisco router will consider LOCAL_PREF first. CCNP / BCMSN: Short answer: By default, what number is assigned to the native VLAN? Answer: 1. CCNP / BCRAN: Which of the following commands tells you if a router has placed an ISDN call due to the loss of a watched route? A. show isdn status B. show dialer C. sho...

Here's the first of two sets of Cisco CCNA and CCNP certification exam practice questions for Friday - and as always on Friday, all questions are short answer! CCNA: What is the AD of an Internal EIGRP route? CCNP / BSCI: Route maps contain an implicit deny. What happens to packets that have the implicit deny applied to them? CCNP / BCMSN: What is the full command that disables a switch port's ability to transmit DTP frames, but still allows the port to form a trunk? CCNP / BCRAN: IKE Phase I can run in what two modes? CCNP / CIT: What command will set the seed metric for all routes redistributed into a given protocol? A. seed-metric B. default seed C. default-metric D. distance See you later today with the answers to yesterday's questions, and another set of Cisco CCNA and CCNP certification exam practice questions!
