Net Ess 70-58

Hi folks,

I cleared Networking Essentials yesterday ( 17/09/98) with 913 score. I think it's pretty ok.

The brain dump site was real useful. Almost all of the questions were what I had seen on the brain dumps.

Had 6 scenarios and 2 exhibit questions.

2 scenarios of 3 connecting cities, one option was with 2 T1 and 2 9600bps links and the other one was with 16 port RAS servers at the three sites, 8 28.8 kbps modems on each side.

1 scenario was of reducing network utilization by reducing packet size and increasing TCP window size.

1 was with a no. of PC's and Servers including Mac's and using a mixture of routable and non routable protocols and bridging enabled in brouters. The solution was to use TCP/IP and Apple Talk and bridging disabled in brouters.

Then 1 was NTFS with user level security , disk striping with parity, virus scanning softwares, all the good things and also auditing enabled, that met all the required and optional requirements.  

Few questions on bridges, routers, gateways. Also to measure broadcast storm protocol analyzer and few more on it.

2 exhibit questions one with both grounded and other with three terminators.

A server which performs processing power for client, file or application server.

1 IRQ question conflicting with COM 2.

A small 10 computer network. Protocol to use was IPX/SPX ( Netbeui was not among the options).

I had one which is cheapest duplexing or RAID 5. I had a confusion on this one.

Device to monitor hubs, and few more that is done by SNMP.

Two to three on WINS server. where to look for an IP address corresponding to a NETBIOS name. Also server pinging with IP address but not connecting with NETBIOS name.

1 with 2 adapter cards with same settings, MAC, IRQ and port. What to change.

1 question was of PPP and SLIP and 1 of connection oriented vs. connectionless communication.

1 with NETBIOS names not to be same , workgroup name, computer name and share name is the answer.

2 to 3 questions on WAN i.e. ATM , Frame Relay.

Characteristics of IEEE 10 base T and 10 base 2.

1 question of ODI/NDIS benefits.

Few with wrong frame and wrong transceiver types.

1 where I had a confusion was which media to choose for 100 mbps network, fiber optic or CAT 5 UTP with no other considerations given.

This is all folks. The brain dumps of other people  were very helpful to me so I thought I will also brain dump . I will be preparing for NT server 4.0 now , so see u guys later. Good luck to all preparing for it.
