Steve,
Welcome to the Tuesday, September 16 edition of The Mastermind!
I'm pleased to announce that my exclusive Cisco Video Tutorial series begins today, with a brand-new video for CCNA, CCENT, and CCNP students alike. This new video concentrates on configuring a Cisco router as a Frame Relay Switch in a home lab environment - and this video is important viewing for any Cisco certification candidate!
Here's the link:

And they're doing very, very well now! Just look at these recent sales figures.... Short answer: You've just applied a mirrored VPN configuration to a router. The mirror configuration was created by SDM. What's the one task you must now carry out on that router to have the configuration work? A. Multicast routers are widely dispersed over the network B. There are multiple multicast streams at once C. There are many receivers in each group D. The multicast traffic will be steady A. Transition from blocking to forwarding takes only a few seconds B. Cannot be configured on a root switch C. Is enabled globally rather than a "per-VLAN" basis D. Good technique for preventing rogue switches from becoming the root bridge of your network Short answer: What's the purpose of a Packet Description Language Module? CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification: An Auxilary VLAN is designed to carry what kind(s) of traffic? A. voice B. low-priority data C. video D. multicasting control traffic (in PIM Dense only) E. multicasting control traffic (for both PIM Dense and Sparse) F. network control traffic Answer: 224.0.0.2 is the "all routers" multicast address. A. BPDU Guard B. Uplinkfast C. Backbonefast D. Root Guard Answers: A, D. Both BDPU Guard and Root Guard can help prevent this situation. Short answer: What is the Nyquist Theorem? Answer: We need a guideline for how many voice samples to take, and the Nyquist Theorem is that guideline. According to this theorem, the sampling rate should be twice as high as the highest frequency of the signal for the signal to be accurately rebuilt at the destination.

Here are the answers to yesterday's questions!
What's the net effect of the following two commands?
line con 0
exec-timeout 0 0
logging synchronous
Answer: Setting the exec-timeout command to zero minutes and zero seconds effectively disables the console line timeout, since that's where we're configuring the command. The logging synchronous command prevents console messages from appearing while you're entering a command; the message will appear after you hit Enter.
Both of these are great Cisco home lab commands, and they just might pop up on an exam or two as well!

The configuration of which of the following must include a Crypto ACL?
A. IOS Firewall
B. DMZ
C. VPN
D. IPS
