Subject: NE

Hallo everyone!

Passed to day (16.07) with 913. I havn4t any experince on networking. This is mine second test in NE. The first one I got only 706. Than I found your Brain Dump page. It is very great and helped me to pass the test - good work Brain Dump! Thank You. Needed Ms preess as material, wich did not covers every topics you meet on the test. So spend more time on Brain Dump and you will pass too!

The test itseft:

Had some easy questions first:

• routable protocols, know NetBEUI; DLC and LAT are not routable.
• one Q about crosstalk

• You have to copy a file from a computer to other what do you need? I chose computername/sharename

• Had Q about connectionlees vs connection

• You have 10baseT required result: 100mbps; options: cost and some other more; proposed solution: replace UTP 3 with UTP 5, hubs, network adapter. Works but does not minimals cost.

• Same like 5 but with Switches: meet required and option

• Have network with data on the servers, in separate room, NTFS ect. Reqired: ensure hardware reliability with 2 hours downtime acceptable, ensure data protection, fault toleranc. Optional: Protection against virus on network shares; logged tracking of -Solution: Daily backups, UPS, disk striping with parity, 40 day password change policy, server locked in closet, etc., granting user access, virus scans plus more stuff but no mentions about auditing. The solution satisfies:
  a. The required and both optional results
  b. The required and only one of the optional results
  c. The required but none of the optional results
  d. Neither the required nor the optional results
  I chose b
• Same 7 but with disk minnoring. Not meet required because disk minnoring is not fault toleranc
• 10 windows NT, what to do with security? User level
• had two NetBIOS NAME QUESTIONS with hexadeziumal number (does not meet optinals) and with 15 character nummber (meet required and optional)
• you have a lot of listed protocols. What among is used to determine the least busy and shortest network routes: RIP
• Q about PPP and SLIP

• What is a characteristic of 802.3 10BaseT Ethernet?
  a.RJ11 Connector at both ends
  b.UTP w/RJ45 connector
  c.BNC T-connector
  d.50 Ohm
• Had one with IRQs conflics. So You have to know IRQs

• Had two questions like this one:You test your RG-58A/U cable and get the following readings:
  cable =0 ohms
  T connector = infinite
  terminator = 50 ohms
  What do you need to do?

  You have 2 new computers on the network. You set both computers up the same way:

• Seting the default MAC address

• You have a number of computer that ran Netbeui, IPX/SPX, Unix. Added new computer and can not see some shares, what4s wrong.
  .
  .
  . protoclo mismatch
  . duplicatet netbios name
  In am not sure about this one. Pls check it.

• What type of network topology would have every node connected to every other node on the network? (Diagram) mesh

• What was intended to replace standard phone lines (PSTN)?
  a. SLIP/PPP
  b. Basic Rate ISDN
  c. Primary Rate ISDN
  d. Secondary Rate ISDN
  I chose b

• Susan uses a modem that is 5 years old. The connection will not provide compression. What communication protocol is she using? SLIP

• What purpose does NDIS and ODI serve?

• Which limitation are NDIS and Novell ODI designed to overcome?

• • • (a) The need to dynamically bind a single protocol to multiple MAC drivers in order to support more than one network operating system.

      (b) The need for proprietary network interface drivers for each network operating system and protocol.

      (c) Monolithic protocols do not conform to the OSI model.

      (d) Monolithic protocols cannot be loaded into the upper memory area.

• Scenario: You have a mixed network of Win 95 and Mac workstations. You use brouters between the LANs and you use multiple protocols (IPX, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, NetBEUI).

-Required: You must reduce network traffic (broadcasts) without altering functionality.

-Solution: remove every protocol except IPX and disable bridging on the brouters.

Does this solution satisfy the required results? Yes/No

• Had two questions abot WAN: Your company has 3 locations: Chicago, Atlanta and Los Angeles. You would like to set up a WAN solution to enable communication between the offices.

• • • --Required results: Transfer speed of at least 1 Mbps steady

      --Optional results: Transfer speed of at least 1 Mbps and assurance that communication between the 3 locations will not suffer if one link fails.

1. --Proposed solution: Install two T1 lines, one between Chicago and Atlanta, one between Atlanta and LA (meet only required). Install 3 lines (meet every thing)

had a lot about protocal analyzer, bridge, router, wich you can find in this Brain site. So read it well. It helps.

Good luck!
