Dollar values are doubled for this round, but it doesn't matter since we're not playing for real money! :) So let's get started!
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:
The category is WANs:
$ 20 - It's the default encapsulation for a Serial interface

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

$ 100 - You forgot to do this if you see a dynamic frame mapping to "0.0.0.0"
CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:
The category is .... the IOS Firewall Set:
$20 - In a typical firewall-protected network, you have three logical areas - "inside", "outside", and this

$100 - Of routed ports, SVIs, and Layer 3 port-channels, these are the interface types that support HSRP on a multilayer switch
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
$40 - The default capacity of the default queue used in Priority Queuing

C. stub flag
D. process number

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.
