Subject: Networking Essentials 070-058

Hello knowledge seekers. I took the Networking Essentials exam 070-058 today and passed with a score of 931 out of 1000 the first try. I used the Microsoft Networking Essentials book, some free exams from the net and cram notes from www.cramsession.com/. And of course the most useful of all The Braindumps. In fact the Braindumps is a must for people who want to pass the test with the first try. I read 80+ of the most recent braindumps before doing this test. But becareful about the answers on them. But as a rule of thumb the braindumps with scores of 900 and above are more believable. When in doubt research the answer.

I am on a budget and so can't afford the super expensive Transcenders. If you are like me then these NE sample test is just as good and in some cases better then the Transcenders. Here are the link to these FREE stuff.

  1. Networking Essentials Practice Test for Exam 070-058: http://rampages.onramp.net/~madell/netindex.htm. This site is a must if you are looking for a practice test. The questions in this sample test is the closest to real NE test I have ever seen and the best of all it comes with an answer list. My exam had "many many" questions that is extreamely similar if no "EXACTLY" the same as the sample test.
  2. Important Questions for Networking Essentials: http://members.tripod.com/~BARIQ/netessq.htm. A good list of sample questions similar to what you get in the real test with answers. But some of the answers are doubtful and could be wrong. So research it when in doubt.
  3. The NT proffesionals site: http://ntprofs.ml.org/. A site that has 4 NE sample exams. The sample questions are very similar to those from the Trascenders which is a bit harder then the real exam questions. There is also a comprehesive answer list to each of the question using the Microsoft NE book as a reference.

With these link. I hope you can save hundreds of dollars.

And now finally onto our feature presentation. The dumps from my exam. In some cases where I do not remember the questions fully I used to sample test to reconstruct my lost memory.

c

18 Your network uses Nwlink IPX. Initialization of your client computer's network software appears successful, but your client computers is not able to access the server. All of the other computers are able to access the server. What is the cause?

the network adapter in your client computer is configured to use thw wrong frame type.

19 Something very similar to 18 with Netware IPX/SPX. Same type of answer again. Wrong frame time with adapter card.

20 You are designing a peer-to-pper network that consists of 5 Microsoft Windows 95 computers. Which protocol?

No Netbeui so I selected NWlink IPX

21. You connect your Ethernet and token ring networks. Both networks use NWLink IPX. You want to use IPX addressing to filter data. Which device?

router

22. Segement 200 node network into 3 subnets. The network uses TCP/IP. Which device?

router.

gateway.

26. Which WAN connection provide transmission speed of faster than 100Mbps?

ATM

27. Your computer has a SCSI drive. You added a brand new network adapter card and the system will not boot. Whats wrong.

IRQ conflict between SCSI card and Network adapter card.

28 You install an Ethernet network adapter in a client computer. The computer's network software is initialized successfully, but the computer is not able to communicate with other computers on the network. All other client computers on the network are able to communicate. What is problem?

the transceiver setting on network adapter is incorrect.

29. Your network uses TCP/IP, NetBEUI and IPX/SPX. You add a new client to the network and it can share some but not all the resource.

Protocol mismatch between the the client computer and the unshareable resource.

  1. replace all with 16 mbps token ring network
  2. add more memory
  3. use a 1.5 mbps WAN link
  4. ?

I chose c because 300 people using a single 56k Wan link is ridculous inadequate.

  1. NWLink IPX

Packet size for token ring bigger than ethernet.

36. Which provides the most reliable packet switched network?

  1. X.25

a.

37 What can be used as a backbone for a 10base5 network?

  2. com 2
  3. lpt 1
  4. ???

b

 

39. Neither new network adapter that you installed can access the network. Configuration of the cards are exactly identical. How do you make it work?

Change the MAC (hardware) address to factory settings.


My exhibit questions

40. Some exhibit with a network in which there is a bus ethernet network that resemble a T with the server extending out as one branch of the T being terminated by a resistor. The other ends of the T is terminated by resistors and of cource the main trunk has client computers. For a total of 3 resistor. Will not work. Why?

It is obvious that 3 resistor is a no no for a bus ethernet.

So rearrange to use only 2 resistor.

41. A bus ethernet network with 2 terminating resistor both grounded. Will not work. How to fix?

ground it probably since only 1 of the terminator should be grounded.


Scenario

42. 3 cities Chicago, Atlanta, LA. Want to design a LAN to connect.

Required: A WAN that will work

A WAN that be capable of transmitting at minimum of 1 Mbps.

Optional: Provide communication in case of single link failure

1 mbps in case of single link failure

Solution: Use 2 T1 and 2 56K.

satified required and one optional

43. Same as above but with 2 sets of 16 RAS modem (28.8 kps). Since even 16 * 28.8 is 460.8 kbps. It does not satisfy required. Alot of debate on this. Don't know if got this right.

44. Designing disaster recovery plan for network.

Required: Protect hardware from hardware failure. However, periods of downtime of less than 2 hours are acceptable. You must have reasonable controls to proctect data loss.

Optional: Track access to files

Prevent data from virus corruption

Solution.

Connect UPS to server

Set access-control security on all shared resource

Implement disk striping with parity

Daily backup, stapes stored off site.

audit

virus scan

Satisfy all required and all optional

45. same as above but no audit. So satisfy above and only 1 optional.

The Next Scenario Question differs in a tricky way from similar ones from Braindumps.

46. Situation: Company has rapid growth caused by increase in number of computer on network. Will add more computer next year. Broadcast storms are occurring with increasing frequency. Want to reduce storms. Has Nt Server, Mac, Win95. Using NetBEUI, TCP/IP, NWlink, AppleTalk. 4 brouter with bridging enabled.

Required:Reduce storm by 50 percent minmizing changes in function of client computers.

Optional: Minimize hardware costs

Minimize adminstrative cost

Allow for expansion

Proposed Solution: Turn off bridging on all brouter. Change Win 95 clients to using only TCP/IP. Change server and brouter to use only TCP/IP and AppleTalk.

I chose satisfy requirement and all optional. The tricky thing is that in past braindumps it says change protocol to IPX/SPX and turn brigding off. Because Mac can't use IPX/SPX it make it not satify required. It seems like the change is to throw people off. Remember to read questions carefully.

47. 10baseT network. Some situation in which network utilization has increased from 30% to 70%. Going to add more computers and some servers next year.

Required: Decrease utilization from 50 %

Optional: Allow for contiued growth

Maintain network utilization levels after planned edtions.

reduce cost.

Proposed solution. Change all cables to Fiber optic and change adapter to FDDI.

satisfy required and 2 of option since it does not reduce cost.

48. Same as above but decrease frame size from 1514 to 576. Replace Category 3 UTP able to Category 5. Increase TCP windows from 4096 bytes to 16384 byets.

Does no produce requried results.

Thats all I remember. The other 10 are they type of question you will find in Braindumps. So dig into the dumps and you should be OK. Good luck. Off to NT 4.0 Adminstration.
