Hey Carla, here's one for you

| What command would you use to configure a static host name mapping of a router? Can you demonstrate it? | |
|
| I'm not sure if this is what you're asking - if so, you could have worded it differently 
To assign a hostname to a router:
Router(config)# hostname dougla2
I've covered static and default routing as of a yesterday....
If I am wrong, will you please NOT give me the answer, maybe re-word your question and let me try again???
Thanks!

What if you want to assign an address to name mapping for another device?

I think dougla2's question brilliantly demonstrates the kind of tricky wording you can expect on the CCNA exam. For quite a few questions you have to make an effort to understand what the question really asks.
This is in contrast to that type of questions -- harvested around the Web -- where all the given choices are wrong (you can find an example here: http://www.examnotes.net/forums/sho...?threadid=16772). I'm almost positive you won't get this type of questions on your test.

| This question came up yesterday while I was working through a Cisco Lab exercise (13.3). The task is to configure a static route, but NOT use the IP address of the destination router. You need to use the destination's host name instead. Hint: If you wanted to use the IP address of the destination, you would type "IP route" at the global config prompt. | |

| Something Like
router(config)#ip host Carla 1.2.3.4
Me thinks | |
| dougla2 2001-04-26, 5:34 pm |
| That's it, "IP host" to use the host name for the static route, "IP route" to use the IP address.
This seemed like a good question for the exam.
router(config)#ip host Carla 1.2.3.4 | |
|
| Thanks and I love you all!
Are the exam questions really vague?

As a rule, no, they are not. But you never know. Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst!
