9/10/98). I used the CBT’s with Scholars.com, a book called Exam Cram,

and most importantly the brain dumps. I also used as many practice

exams as I could get my hands on from the Web. The more practice exams

you take, the better. Eventually you will see some of the question show

up on the actual certification exam. I had 0 previous experience, so

the CBT’s (computer based training) were a good place to start,

Scholars.com is not worth the effort. The Exam Cram is a very good

preperational tool. The best tool, however, is the Braindumps. I will

warn you like everyone else, research the answers you find.

are very similar to the certification exam. Be sure the know the

answers as well as why the answers for the questions are correct. Be

careful, a word or two might be changed on the exam resulting in a

different answer.

Concepts to know like the back of you hand:

? Know all the 802.x standards

? Know all of the IRQ number (2 questions)

? NDIS/ODI – bind multiple protocols

? Symptoms of incorrect frame type

? Symptoms of wrong transceiver setting

? Attenuation and speed of all cables

? What cables are used as backbone

? What cable types can support 100 Mbps

? What OSI layer routers, bridges, repeaters work at

? RAID Levels and their features (especially levels 1,2,5 and disk

duplexing)

? NW Link and IPX/SPX (GSNW, CSNW)

? Connecting TCP/IP and IPX/SPX

? NetBeui is not routable therefore cannot use a bridge

? Ethernet switching hub features

? Protocol Analyzer – all of its features and capabilities

? The correct ohms readings on a coax network. The T-connector, the

normal cable, and the terminator redings

? Know that auditing in NT must be implemented to track usage and other

common actions

? Features of Frame Relay, ATM, X.25. Which provide bandwidth on

demand, which is most reliable for delivery. Are frames variable size.

? PPP and SLIP

? User and Share level security which is for NT and which is for 3.1

and 95

? UNC

Questions I remember:

almost all of the questions on this sight, there is a chance you won’t

do very well on the exam. The answer will be denoted with a ***

3. Your network consists of 10 computers, which run Microsoft Windows

95. Which kind of access control can you use to control access to files

and directories on the network? (Choose

all that apply.)

A. Specify users and groups who have access to each shared resource.

B. Supply a password for each shared resource. ***

4. Your network consists of 10 computers, which run Microsoft Windows NT

Workstation. Which kind of access control can you use to control access

to files and directories on the

network? (Choose all that apply.)

A. Specify users and groups who have access to each shared resource.

***

B. Supply a password for each shared resource.

7. Barbara's remote computer can be accessed via dial-up telephone

lines. The computer is 5 years old and uses TCP/IP as its only transport

protocol. The data link communications

protocol used by the computer cannot provide automatic IP addressing.

Which data link communications protocol is Barbara's computer using?

A. DLC

B. SLIP ***

C. PPP

8. Which data link communications protocol provides connections between

computers via dial-up telephone lines? (Choose all that apply.)

A. SLIP ***

B. PPP ***

14. You want to install a 100-Mbps backbone network that will connect 5

existing networks. Which media should you use?

A. Category 3 UP cable

B. Category 4 UTP cable

C. Fiber-optic cable ***

D. RG-58 A/U coaxial cable

19. Which protocol is routable? (Choose 3.)

A. AppleTalk ***

B. TCP/IP ***

C. NWLink IPX ***

D. NetBEUI

E. DLC

20. You want to connect your Ethernet and token-ring networks. Both

networks use NWLink IPX. You want to use IPX addressing to limit the

amount of traffic between the 2 networks.

Which device should you use?

A. repeater

B. bridge

C. router

D. gateway

22. Your network has 250 client computers. The network uses both TCP/IP

and NetBEUI. You want to segment the network into 3 subnets. You want to

allow all of the computers to use

both of the protocols to communicate with computers on all 3 subnets.

Which device should you use?

A. repeater

B. brouter ***

C. router

C. gateway

25. You want to connect 2 computers by using l0BaseT Ethernet cable. The

computers are located more than 300 meters apart.

Which device should you use?

A. repeater

B. amplifier

C. multiplexer

D. gateway

Don’t know answer. It is either A or B but I don’t believe there is

enough info given. Most books say A.

28. Which type of WAN connection service is intended to replace standard

analog telephone service?

A. ISDN basic rate interface ***

B. X.25

C. Frame relay

D. 2.048-Mbps digital line

These are some of the questions I remember. Many more from the sight I

mentioned are on the certification exam.

Good Luck
