- 2 "i cities questions"

first) 2 T1 links between Berlin - Paris, Paris - Madrid ( why to take only US cities?)

-> fulfills the required, none of the optional

second) 3 T1 links Berlin-Paris, Paris-Madrid, Madrid-Berlin

-> fulfills everything i

- 2 NDIS/ODI questions, beware of the wording, the principle is always the same. NDIS/ODI is a interface for multiple protocols to use the same network adapter.

One question talks about "what problem does NDIS/ODI overcomes", the other "what is the advantage of NDIS/ODI". In the last case the wording was something like

"Let compliant transport protocols use compliant network adapters". It's not just an NDIS/ODI characteristic, but the only one by exclusion of the rest of the possble answers.

- Two performance questions of the type "network traffic increase from 30% to 70%" in a 10BaseT network

Required: Reducing network traffic 50%.

Optional: Reducing cost, not affecting administration, not affection funtions

Proposed: Change all Ethernet componet with Ethernet switches.

I said that this fulfills required and both optional

- 3 "protocol analyzer" questions.

a) How to measure network traffic on a packet basis.

Here I was not sure, becaus another option was cable tester.

b) How to meaure traffic over the time

Other possibilietes were TDR, Oscill. and an apparatus I never heard from

c) How to identify a failing network adapter

- 3 or 4 Router/Bridge/Repeater/Gateway questions

a) connect two TCP/IP LANs -> I said router, because TCP/IP is routable (I know that you could take everything but the solutions were exclusive)

b) connect two LANs with TCP/IP and NetBEUI without loosing funtionality -> I said brouter

c) connecting device for different protocols -> gateway

- Troubleshooting

- 2 scenarios where you you measure different resistences.

In the first a RG58 A/U had 0 resistence in end-to-end -> change cable

In the second two ground -> network may have only one.

- You notice that a computer sometimes can access resources, other times not. Same thing happened to the others. -> The network had RG58 U and RG58 A/U cables -> change all RG58 U to RG58 A/U

- A question about routable protocols. I marked all execpt NetBEUI, DLT and LAT

- A server which performs processing power for client computers is

a) a file server

b) a application server

You could mark both, I did only application server, although that war one of greates doubts.

- A scenario telling about different adapters used. The question was, why is there a conflict with IRQ3. Answer

-> the computer used COM2 and COM2 uses IRQ3

- A small 10 computer network. Which protocol to use.

There was not NetBEUI among the answers, so I took IPX/SPX

-Another one where I had a great doubt, because the question was. "Which has less administrative tasks".

Scenario: Implement security in a network with W95 useres and NT server. User-access-security or password-protected resources.

I think both is possible. Which has less administrative task -> I don's know. I mark User-access-security

- 2 questions to the following scenario:

You have a network with the data on the servers, in a separate room, NTFS and a lot of more good things. 2 hours downtime acceptable (I asked me "downtime" of what)

Required: You have to assure data protection, fault-tolerance,

Optional: Protection against virus, data access tracking

First solution - Doing backups, granting user-acces, virus-scans and RAID 5 and a lot of beautiful things but not auditing -> Fulfills required and all but tracking options

Second solution - Doing backups, granting user-access, virus-scans and RAID 1 and a lot of beautiful thingmore AND auditing -> Fulfills everything.
