I just came back from taking the TCP/IP exam and I am happy to report that I passed with a respectable score of 931. Here is what I remember from the power hour:

As soon as I sat down I immediately wrote down the subnet tables. I strongly recommend this. There was probably 10 question on subnetting and all of them were easily answered by reviewing the tables.

Brakedown as follows : 8 scenario questions

10 utility questions (arp, netstat, ipocnfig)

10 WINS Questions (replication partners and resolution)

10 DNS Questions (resolution)

3 SNMP Questions

10 Static IP Questions (hosts, lmhosts)

6 Route Questions (adding and deleting static routes)

This is a ruff estimate of what I encountered. One question that I remember clearly was:

Your Hosts file has an entry "199.210.5.5 braveheart #Mel Gibson’s Comp"

• • When you ping the name "braveheart" you get a response from host.
  • When you ping "199.210.5.5 you get no response.
  • What is the problem?

Transcender Exams are well worth the money, even if you have to pay for them.

Take a deep breath and remember, this is the career you have chosen.
