Subject: I Passed!

Alright , I want to thank you Robert for having this site. It by far helped me pass the test. I wanted just to view the information provided in the books and not do brain dumps. Wrong answer. Study the Brain Dumps!!!

Here is some of the questions.

I had a question about the 3 cities, and 2 t-1 links going from Chicago and the other city but not a third one. This one does not meet the required objectives.

The very next question they had the 3 links and the same cities, this does meet the required objectives.

They had a problem with a user (taken this test twice and both times it is only the one persons fault) and if it is choose either 1. Not the correct transceiver or 2. Incorrect Frame type. (one question had both so I defaulted to incorrect frame type)

They also had the problem with the 5 WIN95 computers and what protocol do they use (if netbeui is not one of the answers) coose NWLink or IPX/SPX.

Also I found out about the 8 modems here is the formula 8*100*#modems. But they have to be multiplexed to achieve 1mbps steady. So that question would not have been right.

I had the picture of the Mesh Topology. (Almost looks like a pentagram)

I also had a question about sementing lans to keep down on broadcast storms (this can only be router) although you can use a bridge to segment, it would not keep down on the broadcast storms.

I also had a question about a company having Cat 3 UTP cabling and they wanted 50% less network congestion while keeping the network activity at the same level. The selections included:

1. Change the frame size from 1,547 (or something like that) to 576

^^^^^ This would actually increase the network activity since packets are smaller

2. Change from UTP Cat 3 to Cat 5 and put in 100BASET and segment using routers.

^^^^^^^^ I chose this one. Even without the segmentation this would provide the required result because you are going from 10mbps to 100mbps.

Various questions already covered in the other braindumps about TCP packet sizes (window sizes).

All in all, make sure you are ready.
