Short answer: What command resulted in the following output?

R3# ?
HD unit 1, idb = 0x1C44E8, driver structure at 0x1CBAC8
buffer size 1524 HD unit 1, V.35 DCE cable

Answer: That's the output of show controller serial x. The above content is followed by about 25 lines of hex, but the DTE/DCE cable information you see there is (thankfully) near the top!




CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:

Short answer: "All" is one of the SDEE Message display options available in SDM. Name the other three.

Here are the answers to yesterday's questions!

 

CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:

List the three steps in the TCP 3-way handshake and briefly describe what happens in each step.

Answer: The initial segment with the SYN bit set contains negotiable values, including the synchronization number. The SYN-ACK response is an acknowledgement that the initial message was received, and an agreement to the negotiated values. The final ACK is an acknowledgement that the SYN-ACK was received, and the three-way handshake is complete.

CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:

Define each "A" in AAA and briefly describe the purpose of each.

Answer: Basically, Authentication defines who can gain access to your network, Authorization defines what they can do once they're in, and Accounting keeps track of what resources are used.

CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

What exactly does the default-information originate command do, and under what conditions?

Answer: This OSPF command results in the router advertising a default route, as long as a default route actually exists in the routing table. To advertise a default route even when there isn't one in the routing table, use the always option with this command.

CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

What purpose does DHCP Option 43 serve in wireless networking?

Answer: When Option 43 is in effect, the DHCP Server will include the IP addresses of WLCs in the Option 43 field of the DHCP Offer packet. The LAP can then send L3 LWAPP Discovery Request messages to each of the WLCs.


CCNP / ONT Exam:

What's the main difference between the two available versions of WLSE?

Answer: Actually, there are two differences to be aware of.

There are two versions of WLSE. The full version (generally referred to as simply "WLSE") can manage a maximum of 2500 devices. WLSE Express is for smaller networks that have 100 or fewer devices to manage.

One important setup difference between the two - the Express version has an integrated AAA server; the "regular" version does not, so you will need an external AAA server for use with the full version.

 

That's it for today!  Enjoy your day and those videos, and I'll see you Saturday!

Here are the answers to yesterday's questions!

 

CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:

The statements below describe RAM, ROM, Flash, and/or NVRAM. Identify the term(s) that each statement describes.

For this question, I'll list the correct answers after each choice.

A. Contents are lost on a reload - RAM

B. Default location from which the IOS image is loaded. - Flash

C. Contains the startup configuration - NVRAM

D. Contains the running configuration - RAM

E. Stores the power-on self-test programs - ROM

CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:

You're configuring SSH and want to define how many seconds must pass before an incomplete SSH connection is terminated. What command can you use to do this?

A. exec-timeout

B. ip ssh time-out

C. ssh terminate

D. ip ssh timer-log

E. ssh idle-timer

Answer: You'll need the ip ssh time-out command.

 

CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

Which of the following values must match exactly between potential OSPF neighbors in order for a neighbor relationship to form?

A. hello time

B. dead time

C. stub flag

D. process number

E. AS number

Answer: A, B, C. The OSPF process number does not need to match, and OSPF does not use AS numbers. Potential OSPF neighbors must agree on the hello time, dead time, and stub flag.

CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

Short answer: What is the basic purpose of a VMPS?

Answer: When you move a user from one port to another using static VLANs, you have to change the configuration of the switch to reflect these changes. Using a VLAN Membership Policy Server (VMPS) results in these changes being performed dynamically, because the port's VLAN membership is decided by the source MAC address of the device connected to that port. (Yet another reason that the first value a switch looks at on an incoming frame is the source MAC address!)


ONT Exam:

Short answer: Name the three business-critical sub-categories of traffic created by SDM when using the QoS Wizard.

Answer: Transactional, Management, and Routing.

 

That's it for today!  Enjoy today's answers and videos, and I'll see you Thursday with even more!

 

To your success,
