Know what cable type goes with what IEEE standard, for example:

RG11=Thicknet=10base5

RG58=Thinnet=10base2

RG62=ARCNET

There were some situational questions that dealt with logging users access to shared rescources. The wording was very vague (i.e. "applied appropriate restrictions") remember, if it doesn't say auditing specifically, then it's not turned on.

Know that routers are the only network devices that can limit the scope of broadcast storms.

If it's a question on diagnostic tools and you don't know the answer, guess protocol analyzer, they seemed to like questions on PA's T connectors should show infinity Ohms resistance Everything that I've read about 100baseVGANYLAN has said that it can operate on cat 3 or 4. There were some ambiguous questions on "100 megabit" Ethernet. It seems that for "100 megabit" the only UTP that will work, at least for testing purposes, is CAT5.

Remember: you can't do share-level security on a NT workstation.

Know the speeds of Trunk lines (T1=1.54, etc.) and Sonnet/ATM lines

(oc-3=155mb, oc12=622mb)

Materials I used to prepare: Hardcover Microsoft Net Essentials book (good Source), Exam Cram series (great source), Brain dumps (excellent), softcover Microsoft Net Essentials (poor).
