Networking Essentials 70-58

Just passed Net Ess with a 913 this time but the first time scored only 775. This equates to 1 question. Damn the bad luck. Attended MS authorized Tech Center, used Sybex, Exam Cram, MS Ess, Transcendors, first time. Second test I took 4 days later after someone told me about this awesome site and here I am. This was my first test even though numerous people told me to wait and take this one 4th. Don't take this test lightly folks. I administer LANs fulltime and have quickly learned (after an extra $100) to listen to others who have been there. I have been through the Braindumps and pulled every question out that I saw on both tests. There were 7 questions on my second test that were not on my first and judging from the other braindumps it looks like that is all MS changes out. Workstation for me in 2 weeks.

Dump:

1. Two networks, one Ethernet and the other Token Ring. Both use Nwlink. You want to connect them together. Which of the following should you use if you want to use IPX addressing to limit the traffic?
A-Repeater
B- Bridge
C- Gateway
D-Router

2) What protocol records "hop" information stored in routers?

(There was a list of 10 or so choices)

ANSWER - RIP

3. What WAN link can be configured for any transmission speed?

Frame Relay

4. You have 750 client computers using WFW and W95. You want to implement a security plan, what do you choose?

A. Centralized Administration and Resource Level Security
B. Centralized Admin and User Level Security
C. Peer-to-Peer and Resource Level
D. Peer-to-Peer and User Level

5. 3 cities connected with t1 lines. Look out for questions with additional lines (28.8) or RAS 28.8's (RAS will work if there are 8 each way)

6. Copying a file from Ethernet to tokenring networks takes different amounts of time. 30 seconds one way and 5 mins the other way. This is because the packet sizes are different for Ethernet and tokenring

7. Troubleshooting network problems: You install the software and it works, but you still cannot see the network. If the system is NetWare client, check the frame type, if it is not NetWare then check the transceiver.

8. You have a network with win95, NT and Macs you have many protocols. There are broadcast storms, but you have brouters. Turn off bridging on the router and user IPX and appletalk

8. To measure the bandwidth of a new CAT5 cable use a protocol analyzer.

9. The LAN protocol that supports compression is PPP, not slip or DLC

10.If anything fails after installation of an adapter card.. the IRQ setting is conflicting. One question specifies a systems not being able to boot from its scsi hard drive, in this case the card is conflicting with the scsi adapter.

11.Per trunk there should only be one grounded terminator on a 10base2 segment.

12.UNC name consists of a computer name and a share name.

13.High level protocol that allows for file and print sharing on an NT network = SMB.

14.NDIS/ODI allow multiple protocols to be used on compliant adapter cards.
One answer to this is also "to allow network cards to be INDEPENDENT of protocols"

15. Only Win95 and Windows for workgroups allow share level security, WinNT uses User Level
16.If you can ping a server by IP address but cannot by name it should be WINS as the answer,
but if that answer is not available it could be DNS.

17.You view a NETBIOS name on a network with WINS

18.To connect computers to DOS systems you have to use NETBIOS as the protocol

19.You find that the network is getting slower and the performance monitor reads CPU Time 4%, Page/sec 2$, Disk Utilization 44%. Install disk striping with parity (RAID 5)

20.A WAN link that allows you to use only as much bandwidth as you need is Frame Relay

21.The WAN Link that gives the most reliable connection over unreliable lines
is X.25 due to its error correction.

22.Definition of Client/Server: Client makes requests, server does back end processing.

23.If two cards have the same MAC address on a network, you have to reset the MAC address to factory defaults on one of them to use them both. This question defies logic as each MAC address is burned into the card but possibly MS expects that you'll send the card back to the manufacturer

24.On a question that specifies that you need to cut network utilization by 50%, and the
solution is to reduce the frame size, the answer is it does not satisfy the requirements.

26.ATM is capable of data, voice, etc..Over one line.

27. You have a 200 node LAN using TCP/IP and NETBEUI. You want to segment it into 3 subnets and be able to use both protocols. What connectivity device would you use? Brouter.

28.Three names CANNOT be duplicated on a NETBIOS network, Domain, Computer and WORKGROUP. Share will be an option but do not pick it. Any sharename can be duplicated on a machine

29.IF you want to connect to a mainframe without loading new software, use a
Gateway for protocol translation.

30.On a bus network it is terminated on both ends and they read 50 OHMS, one
Terminator is also grounded, if this is not working then replace the cable.

31.Netbios names on a network can be up to 15 letters, 15 digit HEX address can suffice as a network name

32.Basic Rate Interface (BRI) ISDN are intended to replace regular phone lines.

33.Best performance on a NIC, EISA (or micro channel) with shared memory (not DMA or i/o)

34.Always use a bus topology if the network setup is going to be temporary

35. Which layers of the OSI model are managed by a network protocol such as Microsoft Netbeui?

36.Two servers are locked up in a room to add addition security to the servers, implement
user level security, make users change passwords every 30 days, and enable auditing on access.

37.Assured delivery is associated with connection oriented networking, I guess that tells you what Connectionless oriented networking is associated with (not so reliable delivery)

38.There is a question where a persons computer was working OK the day before but today is messed up (cannot access the network) the answer is that its probably a faulty or disconnected cable.

39.Physical layer is usually where you start looking for problems.

40.One question describes there being a 56K wan connection for a database server. Users complain about slowing on the server. It specifies that you have already optimized the server for the database. So the only thing left to do is to increase the bandwidth and it asks which answer gives the GREATEST performance upgrade, So the answer is to upgrade to a T1 wan connection to the database server which was the one with the greatest bandwidth.

42.If you want to monitor hubs bridges and routers on a network, I chose that you should have an SNMP management station. This can grab stuff from the hardware's MIB

43.Know X.25.

44.Which OS's can give share level security?
a. Windows for Workgroups XXX
b. Windows 95 XXX
c. Windows NT
d. Windows NT Server

A. Centralized administration of accounts with user level security
B. Centralized administration of accounts with share level security
C. Peer to peer with resource password security on all shared resources
D. Peer to peer with user level security on all shared resources

47.DOS and Windows 95 computers - connect both. Using Netware DOS redirector. Which protocol:
A. NetBeui
B. NWLink
C. XNS
D. DLC

48.Three similar questions on computers can't consistently connect to the network, or can't connect at all. Version one - network has some RG58 A/U and some RG58 U cable. The two types are not compatible

49. .On what layer do SMBs reside?

50.There are 200 computers in a network, wants to segment the network into 3 subnets, currently using TCPIP and NETBEIU, wants to keep using the above protocol, what device should be used?
a. routers
b. brouters
c. gateways
d. repeaters

51.If you copy from Ethernet to Token Ring a file it takes 30 seconds. >From TR to Eth 5 minuts. Why? <--Different packets lengths.

52.You have a network with Windows95, windows NT, Mac, Dos, with protocols: IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, AppleTalk and 4 brouters . You have to much broadcast storm. How can you resolve the problem with minimum cost? <--- use only IPX/SPX and AppleTalk, and turn off the bridging on brouters.

53.You have to set up 2 computers to connect to the network. All components IRQ'S are set ot deault value. You have to set up both NIC with the following:
MAC address = 0114AS558957; IRQ = 5; I/O Base Memory = 300. The computers are not
able to communicate o
Ans. RESET MAC address to factory settings This is one of the questions I saw in either test as this answer is really not an option unless the card is of thevery expensive variety.

Required:
You must resolve the broadcast storm problem.
No additional protocols may be loaded on the workstations.
Optional:

Proposed Solution:
Turn off broadcasting on your brouters.
Remove NetBEUI from your servers and workstations.
Enable DHCP and DNS.

63.A client in an Ethernet network is not able to access the network.
