Here are the answers to Monday's questions!
 
 
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:

In the wonderful world of wireless networking, what's the main difference between a Yagi antenna and an Omni antenna?

Answer: A Yagi antenna (technically, the full name is "Yagi-Uda antenna") sends its signal in a single direction, which means it must be aligned correctly and kept that way. Yagi antennas are sometimes called directional antennas, since they send their signal in a particular direction. In contrast, an Omni antenna sends a signal in all directions.



CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:

Only 3 days until the release of my CCNA Security Study Package!

Name two different methods of logically grouping SAN devices.

Answer: You can use SAN Zones (both "hard" and "soft"), and Virtual SANs (VSANs).



CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

Name at least three different values that must be agreed upon by prospective OSPF neighbors before that adjacency can form.

Answer: The subnet number and mask, the hello timer, and the dead timer.


CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

On what switches in your network should Backbonefast be enabled?

Answer: Since all switches in the network have to be able to send, relay, and respond to RLQ requests, and RLQ is enabled by enabling BackboneFast, every switch in the network should be configured for BackboneFast when using this feature.



CCNP / ONT Exam:

What's the purpose of the feature being enabled in the following configuration?

voice-port 2/0/0
comfort-noise

Answer: Comfort noise is artificial noise that's "pumped in" when the parties involved in the call go silent. It's very low, but it is there, which prevents you from thinking you've been cut off - and again, from personal experience, comfort noise really does make the conversation more comfortable.

 
That's it for today!  :)  Enjoy your day, and I'll see you Wednesday!
 
 
To your success,

Here are the answers to Saturday's questions!
 
 
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:

You've having no trouble sending pings around your Frame Relay hub-and-spoke configuration, but you can't get RIP updates to arrive successfully at any of your routers. What's the most likely issue?

Answer: Since unicasts (pings) are going through and multicast/broadcast traffic is not, you likely left the broadcast option off the frame-relay map commands.



CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:

Only 4 days until the release of my CCNA Security Study Package!

A Cisco IP Phone has some undesirable defaults when it comes to web access. What are they?

Answer: By default, no password is configured or required!



CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

What's the major difference between an OSPF Stub area and a Total Stub area?

Answer: With an OSPF stub area, you can have routes to other destinations in the area (O), inter-area routes (O IA), and a default inter-area route to reach the external destinations (O *IA).


With a total stub area, you'll see only routes to other networks in the total stub area (O) and a single default route used to reach all other destinations (O *IA).



CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

Is there a difference between the actions taken by BPDU Guard and Root Guard when a port protected by either receives a BPDU?

Answer: Yes. And I should have asked you what that difference is! :)

If Root Guard detects a superior BPDU arriving on a port, that port is placed into root-inconsistent state.

If any BPDU comes in on a port that's running BPDU Guard, the port will be shut down and placed into error disabled state, shown on the switch as err-disabled.


CCNP / ONT Exam:

In Random Early Detection, what's the purpose of the Mark Probability Denominator?

Answer: RED will use three separate values to perform congestion detection:


Minimum Queue Threshold - This is when RED begins to drop packets.


Maximum Queue Threshold - At this level, RED is dropping as many packets as it can!


Mark Probability Denominator - Value used to decide by RED to decide exactly how many packets "as many packets as it can" is. For example, if the MPD is set to 100, one out of every 100 packets will be dropped when the queue average reaches the max queue threshold value.

 
That's it for today!  :)  Enjoy your day, and I'll see you Tuesday!
 
 
To your success,

Here are the answers to yesterday's questions!
 
 
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:

Describe the basic operation of a Trojan Horse.

Answer: A Trojan Horse is malware that appears to have a legitimate function, but instead has a destructive function, ranging from stealing information to crippling the computer it's launched on.



CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:

What's the basic purpose of a Crypto ACL?

Answer: Crypto ACLs are used to define the traffic that is protected by IPSec. While most of the Crypto ACLs you write will be configured to affect outbound traffic, they can also be configured to affect inbound traffic. Outbound crypto ACLs identify the traffic to be secured by IPSec, and traffic not named by the crypto ACL will be sent in clear text.



CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

Under what circumstances does an EIGRP speaker send a DUAL Query?

Answer: When a Successor route is lost and no Feasible Successor is in the local router's EIGRP topology table.



CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

What are the two major components of Cisco Express Forwarding?

Answer: CEF has two major components - the Forwarding Information Base and the Adjacency Table.



CCNP / ONT Exam:

Define the terms "packetization period" and "packet rate".

Packetization period is the actual amount of voice that's encapsulated in each packet. Measured in milliseconds, the normal packetization period is 20 ms. If the packetization period is shortened, the resulting packets are smaller; if this period is lengthened, the packets will be larger.


Packet rate is simply the number of packets sent in a given time period, usually one second ("packets per second", or PPS). The larger the packets, the lower the packet rate.

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

Here are the answers to yesterday's questions!
 
 
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:

Name a major difference between the ways a worm is spread and a virus is spread.

Answer: A virus is a program that gets onto a computer without a user's knowledge and then performs an action that can range from mischievous to destructive. For a virus to be spread, there has to be some kind of contact between an infected user and another user - generally, that contact is the forwarding of an email that has an attachment that contains a virus.

A worm is a type of virus, but a worm can spread on its own without any "help" from the infected host. Even worse, a worm can replicate on its own, resulting in many more worms attacking other hosts.



CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:

Only 8 days until the release of my CCNA Security Study Package!

You've secured your Cisco router's IOS with the IOS Resilience feature. What command will allow you to see the filename? What common command will *not* let you see the filename would have allowed that before you ran this feature?

Answer: You need to run the show secure bootset command. show flash will not display the files.



CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

An EIGRP route can have one of three different default administrative distances, depending on the route type. Name the three EIGRP route types and their default ADs.

Answer: Internal EIGRP routes have an AS of 90, external routes have an AD of 170, and EIGRP summary routes have an AD of 5.



CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

Does a multilayer switch perform routing by default? If not, how is this feature enabled?

Answer: It's not on by default; use the ip routing command to enable it.



CCNP / ONT Exam:

Put these analog-to-digital signal conversion steps in order.

A. quantization

B. encoding

C. compression

D. sampling

Answer: D, A, B, C (C is optional).
