Subject: 70-058

Just came from testing and my best score so far, 981! I finally got an easy test, finishing in 20 minutes, took another 25 minutes to go back over it and then left. This is my fourth test since June 18. I took the route of doing all NT first which I feel is the best route. This site is great so here is my 4th contribution:

I could not believe but I had the following back to back questions of:

Put a network card in a computer, software initializes properly, can't see anything, not hardware related. BOTH Answers were frame setting but worded such as " frame setting incorrect in client computer" and " network adapter has incorrect frame setting".

Two easy ones on setting up a T1 between 3 cities, one solution 2 T1's which did not fit required and using 3 T1's which fit required and optionals of maintaining a link and speed if one goes down.

Two lengthy questions on making hardware fault tolerant, virus protection, checking access. One fit required and one did not only be cause auditing was not enabled on one. And the one that fit required used mirroring.

NIC set as IRQ3----- conflict with Com2

Showed diagram of Mesh and asked what it was

What is 802.3 10BaseT refer to----UTP

Thinnet ----BNC

If 1 cable signal bleeds into another-crosstalk

If u have 200 computers and you want to segment them into 3 subnets and use TCP/IP--- I chose router

Scenario where there were apples, pc's, unix computers with slow performance. Solution change all computers to NWLINK/IPX and use routers---- did not meet requirement

What uses information to determine hops---RIP

What protocols are routeable--- easier to remember that LAT DLC Netbeui are not Voice and Data---ATM

100MBS on WAN-ATM

2 scenarios on setting up names:

1000 computers-- Req-Setup a naming solution to be implemented over the WAN optional want servers to be identified by department etc and clients identified by personal id.

First solution was use 15 character hexadecimal

That met required but no option

2nd solution was obvious that it met required and options.

No questions on HOST and/or LMHOST

2 questions on share(95 and WFW) and user security( NT)

 What server can process for client-Application

5 year old computer question-SLIP

What is the 2 communication dialins-SLIP-PPP

Know that gateway functions above transport layer

Computers randomly having problems- 2 types of cable-RG58/U and RG58AU. Replace 58/u with 58/AU

3 questions where Protocol analyzer was the answer

Connection oriented cable is assured delivery

Repeater to get UTP to go 300meters.

Had a scenario where there were say 3 servers and 200 total computers running tcp/ip. No bridges or routers. Utilization at 70%.

Req to cut to 50%

Option least cost

Provide for future additions

Solution was whole FDDI thing at 100MBs

Met required and one option

Surprisingly NO DNS or WINS questions

Connect pc's to mainframe-gateway

Client server----back end

The duplicate MAC address- reset to factory defaults. Some one on this site wrote that can't be done and that the card had to be replaced. Well, sorry, tell it to Microsoft because that was not offered as a solution. Also, while I am at it, someone else discussed the problem, which I did not have, that stated you have a 1 ft hanging ceiling what cable to install and they stated it had to be Plenum because of the ceiling and therefore coax. The ceiling does not determine plenum or not. It is whether it is cold air return or not. That means if fresh air is not brought in, rather the system (heat/AC) recycles the air then plenum must be used. We have installed non plenum in many companies who had the tile ceilings but who brought in fresh air.

Stupid scenario where solution was to decrease packet size and put your heels together and click 3 times. Did not meet requirement 5 servers and want 1 100MBps backbone-Fiber optic

Benefits of NDIS and ODI -- allow network adapters to be independent of transport protocols

Whats intended to replace POTS ( Plain old telephone service) ISDN

Well, on to TCP/IP
