Subject: Another braindump: MS 70-058

Passed 70-058 Networking Essentials with a score of over 900 (1000 possible).

Required score was 793.

Nothing can be better then this excellent site for test preparation.

Volumes of wisdom and tons of understanding are of great importance in real life, however they alone are of little use when seating Microsoft tests. Happily, there are braindumps out there, which is enough to make one's way through the Billy's woods.

Thanks a lot to Robert and all the contributors. Let's all keep the site up and running.

Sources used for preparation other then the braindumps: SYBEX book and CD + 3 years work experience background. Both quite informative, especially the latter.

Now on to the test questions:

1. Need to connect 3 buildings with a 1 km distance between each two of them. What media to use:

x Fiber-optics (correct)

Some kind of wireless (NA) <----- Note they do have some questions on wireless communication!!!

10base5

Somethingà

2. 2 scenarios with 3 cities - 3RAS servers 16 modems each do not give 1Mbps bandwidth (forget the formula seen here); 2T1+2x9600 - required ok, one option.

3. No network connection. NIC just installed/connection lost/Netware environment. Answers are accordingly wrong transceiver, loose cable, frame type.

4. Other troubleshooting questions: exhibits of 10Base2 bus with three terminators/two groundings. What's wrong? :)

5. Tons of questions on routers/gateways/bridges/brouters. Know what they are and the answer is plain simple.

6. 1 question on OSI (device functioning at the networking level etc - router)

7. Remember ATM, Protocol analyzer, RAID5 are simply the best - (c) other braindump.

8. Got a question on X.25 - reliable communication through unreliable switched network.

9. Connection-oriented is assured delivery and slow, connectionless - fast and "not assured" :)

10. Got the question on what Ms OSes support share level security (not quite sure about this one)

x Win3.11

x Win95

NTWS

NTS

11. Got the question involving a company having 72 locations all over the world with 50-100 PCs at each site. Everywhere there are Win3.11 and Win95 client computers among PCs running other OSes. Big people turnover. What security scheme should be planned

Centralized user database with username/password access to shared resources

Centralized user database with password access to shared resources

x Peer to peer with password access to shared resources

Peer to peer with username/password access to shared resources

12. A question on DNS and a question or two on WINS, all very simple.

13. Seems it's all I can remember by now. 13 is a magic number. Drain brain. The braindump is over.
