Hi guys passed my networking essentials exam today with a score of 948.

standards&terminology -93%

planning-100%

implementation-100%

troubleshooting-86% (guess you better research these answers on your own

personal recomendations .

networking essentials exam guide by QUE (isbn)0-7897-1193-1 very good!

mcse test prep also by QUE(isbn)1-56205-831-2 *note this book is arranged by

microsoft exam objective not by subject .(very good practice questions)

mcse exam notes by sybex (isbn)0-7821-2291-4 exellent! many of the questions

on the exam are in this book with answers.) a must read for 19.95 you cant go

wrong!

these books can be purchased at a fraction of the cover price from

bookpool.com

don't buy (upgrading and repairing networks by QUE, it sucks they tell you

that routers operate at the transport layer for for crying out loud!

I highly recommend and appreciate this site. Thanks Rob for helping the rest

of us out there.

1. Where can you not have duplicates for NEtbios names choose 3

a. workgroup name

b. computer name

c.domain name

d. share name

ans a,b,d

2.what is a charcteristic of assured delivery

ANS connection orientated

3. there are 2 ethernet networks. You want to use "both" Netbuei "and" tcp/ip.

Need a connectivity device that will allow communications and reduce traffic.

Ans: brouter! dont get this one confused with gateway remember this network is

using "both " tcp/ip and netbuei so you will need to bridge netbuei and route

tcp/ip

this answer is definitely the right one

4.what device is used to measure network traffic over time?

ANS protocol analyzer.

% 3 questions regarding nwlink computers not being able to acess the server.

ANS wrong frame type

2 questions regarding netbuei computers not being able to acess the server

ANS wrong transceiver setting

6^. what can be used as a backbone for a 10base5 network

ANS fiber optic

got the 3 cities connected by 2 t1 links

ANS produces the required but none of the optionals

3 cities connected by 3 ti lines

ANS produces the required and both optionals

On the network utilization secnario you need to cut by 50% and maintain room

for expansion and minimize costs

MS solution ugrade hubs&nics to 100baseT and install cat 5 cabling

this will cut utilization and provide room for future expansion. But it

definitely ain't

cheap!

next question uses the same secnario but suggests increasing window size and

decreasing packet size

ANS does not produce the required result

8.got an exibit of a topology that looked like the star of david

ANS mesh

9.performance monitors gives you the following readings

%processor time=8%

page fualts/sec=2

%disk time=25%

ANS install disk striping with parity

10.segment a tcp/ip network into 3 subnets

ANS router

11. simultaneous voice,video and data

ANS atm

12. replacement for analog phone service

ANS basic rate ISDN

13 acess to a mainframe

ANS gateway

14 wan connection that runs at 100mbps

ANS atm

15 connecting ethernet to token ring

ANS router (some say a bridge but this is false. bridges only foward packets

based on the MAC address at the data link layer only a device that operates at

the network layer can strip off the data link headers&trailers and recreate

them with the appropriate frame size. this is the reason why companies invest

in routers to connect to the internet because theres no way of knowing the

architechure of the lan your connecting too!

16.2 nic cards set up the exact same way software initializes but nic doesn't

work

ANS (watch out for this one all the books you read will tell MAC addresses are

burned in at the factory but look at the choices that MS gives you

A IRQ conflict (can't be because the computer wouln't boot in the first pace)

B. change I/O adress(this has nothing to do with "both cards not working)

C.reset MAC address to factory settings(why would anybody want to change the

factory setting to begin with the chances of recieving 2 nics with the same

MAC address is very slim! But the idiots over at MICROSOFT want you to answer

C.

reset MAC adresss to factory setting!

17. resolving broadcast storms

ANS router

18 switched hubs are an economical way to reduce net traffic

19 signal interference from an ajacent wire

ANS crosstalk

that's all i can accurately remember.
