Thought For The Day:
"Planning has its place, but it must be kept in perspective. Some people spend their whole lives waiting for the perfect time to do something. There's rarely a "perfect" time to do anything. What is important is just to get started.
Get into the game. Get on the playing field. Once you do, you will start to get feedback that will help you make the corrections you need to make to be successful. Once you are in action, you will start learning at a much more rapid rate."
-- Jack Canfield, "The Success Principles"

Here are the answers to yesterday's questions!
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:
In the world of Frame Relay, what does "CIR" stand for? More importantly, what does it mean?
Answer: That's the Committed Information Rate, and it's the amount of bandwidth that your service provider guarantees you.
CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:
You're working with an IPS, and you're prompted about something called "SDEE". What is it, and what is its purpose?
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
You're configuring a customer's Cisco switch and note something called "IGMP Snooping" is enabled. Is this desirable? What exactly is being snooped upon?
Answer: It's desirable, and the IGMP reports being sent from a host to a multicast router are being "snooped" upon.
The switch listens to these reports and records the multicast group's MAC address and the switch port upon which the IGMP report was received. This allows the switch to learn which ports actually need the multicast traffic, and will send it only to those particular ports instead of flooding the traffic.
CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:
What command will change the port cost of interface fast 0/12 on a Cisco switch to 9 for ALL VLANs? Where should this command be placed?
Answer: On the interface, configure spanning-tree cost 9.
A. LEAP
B. EAP-FAST
C. EAP-PEAP
D. EAP-TLS
Answer: D. When using EAP-TLS, both the client and server will have a secure certificate. ( With PEAP, only the server has a secure certificate.)
That's it for today! Enjoy those new tutorials and practice exams, and I'll see you Friday!
To your success,
Chris Bryant
