January 15, 1998, TCP/IP 4.0, 70-059

I passed the TCP/IP exam today, 765 score

25 questions

1.primary dns server, and a secondary dns server, they want to add a 3rd dns

server to help provide access to the internet

ans. forwarding server

2.primary dns server, secondary dns server, they want to add a 3rd dns, but

not increase zone transfer traffic.

ans. cache only server

3.You want to view a graph of TCP/IP protocol stats

perf monitor

4.You want to view a chart of TCP/IP protocol stats

(I answered perf monitor, but since they had already asked me about graph 3

or 4 questions earlier I was doubtful)

5.Scenario re. dialing in to a network using RAS, have two modems, define

two static IP addresss in RAS (they never said to omit the two addresses

from the DHCP scope), network is WINS and DHCP enabled

required result-

be able to browse the whole network

allow two concurrent RAS connections

optional results ...

(note-I had three questions pertaining to RAS interoperability with TCP/IP)

They tried to trick you in the proposed solution by saying to enable

multilink (which of course wouldn't allow for two concurrent connections)

subnetting, gave me an ip address and a subnet mask for a class B license

Then gave me 5 IP address and asked me to pick the two that resided on the

same subnet.

Had me click and drag IP addresses to a routing table with the following

configuration, left to right.

subnetA, multihomed server1, subnetB, multihomed server2, subnetC, dedicated

router, subnetD

You needed to create two routing tables, one for each server, so both

servers could access every subnet, this was my first question, and took me 5

to 10 min.

scenario re. You want to subnet a Network using a multihomed computer and

have IP addresses dynamically assigned, allow cross subnet browsing with

little effort

dynamically updated routing tables

required, all computers should be assigned IP addresses on all subnets

... the trick with this question was they tried to confuse you with ARP

instead of RIP so the result of dynamically updated routing tables won't

happen, also when they say install the multihomed computer with 3 NICs and

give them each a unique IP address AND ENABLE IP FORWARDING must be checked

or a portion of the scenario won't function

They asked a simple question regarding you can ping a remote host with it's

IP address, but can't access the computer with its UNC name. What could be

the problem

1. incorrect default gateway - WRONG, you could ping IP address

2. computer is not WINS enabled - right answer

3. computer is not DNS enabled - WRONG, dns is hostname resolution

They also asked a few questions regarding browsing in non WINS environments

for example

4 subnets, PDC on subnetA, BDC on subnetB, what can you do to implement

cross subnet browsing other than WINS

answer had to do with LMHOSTS files, #PRE and #DOM entries for the local

domain controller and the other PDC's in the other subnets (I think)

They asked me which dns resource record do you use to specify a mail server.

MX - which stands for Mail Exchange I think.

Wrong answers included PTR, A, etc.

They asked a question regarding printing to a plotter on a UNIX box set up

as a LPD. I can't quite remember what the options were, but it was a bit

different than what I had studied, but I still think I got it right.

Just remember that you don't have to install LPR on ALL the workstations

that you want to print to an LPD printer. AN LPR enabled NT server COULD

forward the print request to the UNIX LPD enabled Box and then on the the

plotter/printer, etc.

I think I've about exhausted my cache, time to purge

I was concerned that I would barely pass, but I did, so take heart!
