Scored an 88. Thought I'd easily do over 90, but I got the "hard" test compared to most of the dumps I've seen on 70-058.
What I remember:
Q. Reduced network utilization from 70% to below 50% in addition to adding new clients.
Proposed: install 100Mb FDDI
Q. Reduced network utilization from 70% to below 50% in addition to adding new clients.
Proposed: reduce packet, increase window size
(couldn't recall the affect this would have, I think it doesn't improve utilization, look it up)
Q. 2 new clients you configured won't work on net, all other clients and servers work fine. question gives you system components installed with their "default settings" for IRQ and I/O. question gives you one nic card config, says both cards are confige
(since the mac address is given in the config, and both cards are configed identically, both cards can't have the same mac address, so, I answered "change mac address to factory settings".)
Q. intermitent problem with coax network, exhibit shows a single segment properly terminated and grounded. however, connection to server uses a T connector with line continuting and then terminated. Line to server should just go directly to server with
Q. network problem with coax network. exhibit showed segment was grounded a two ends. should be grounded at only one end per segment.
Q. 3 city "WAN" connectivity problem. requires wan network to operate in event of single break. only 2 lines connected cities together. therefore, this does not meet requirement.
Q. 3 city "WAN" connectivity problem. each city has 16 port RAS sever using 28.8 modems. each city is connected to two others. WAN connectivity will continue with one break, however not at 1Mb.
Q. connect two buildings 1000 meters apart with which cabling scheme?
Q. network install will run cable through ceiling. what cable type do you use?
Q. need to setup a temporay network in a single empty room for 10 or so computers. What's the easiest and cheapest topology?
Q. purpose of NDIS / ODI
Q. netbios naming scheme, what's valid/invalid
Q. high level protocol that uses netbios. (I changed my answer from NetBEUI to SMB. Stupid. SMB is low level. NetBEUI is high. I think is should have been NetBEUI.)
Q. how do you check utilization, packet info, traffic, etc. (best answer of lot was protocol analyzer)
Q. new client can't access token ring netowrk, all others can, what's the problem (incorrect frame size).
Q. copying from 4Mb TR to 10Mb Ethernet takes 30 mins, but from 10Mb Ethernet to 4Mb TR takes 4 mins. Why? (packet size difference)
Q. reduce broadcast storms with what device (router)
Q. segment traffic by subnets with what device (router)
Q. sement traffic by mac address with what device (bridge)
Q. communicate with mainframe with what device(gateway)
Q. device that works at the network layer that segments traffic (router)
Lot's on what the different devices do: Routers, Gateways, Bridges, Protocol Analyzers.
Approx. 8 scenarios, 6 exhibits
That's it.
