Test Question and 5 time failer
|
|
| mccabe 2001-08-21, 11:12 am |
| On the CCNA test there is a question that asks somthing like this "What is the proper way to enable rip on a router?"
*Also*
Router(config)#router rip
Router(config)#network 176.16.0.0
*is no an option*
I have taken this test 5 times and still have not passed. Highest score 816. Memorizing thngs is very hard for me. I have read through the CCNA sibex book by Todd twice. And i went through the Cisco Networking Academy.I am going to read the book again and take the test tuesday the 28th. i am so suprised on how much the tests difficulty changes from test to test.
When I pass the test my mom is going to take me Parasailing.

| mccabe 2001-08-21, 12:24 pm |
| on the test it has
A.Router(config)#router rip
Router(config)#network 176.16.0.1
Router(config)#network 10.0.0.0
B.Router(config)#router rip
Router(config)#network 176.16.0.1 10.0.0.0
Router(config)#network 10.0.0.0 10.12.0.0
C.Router(config)#router rip
Router(config)#network 176.16.0.0 255.255.0.0
Router(config)#network 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0
those are kinda what u have to choose from | |
| dmaftei 2001-08-21, 12:40 pm |
| A. With RIP the network command takes only the net address. In B and C the second argument will be flagged as invalid input:
Router(config)#network 176.16.0.1 10.0.0.0
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
(the bold 1 shows where the marker would be.) | |
| mccabe 2001-08-21, 12:49 pm |
| does anyone remember this question off the test?
it would have
Router(config)#router rip
Router(config)#network 176.16.0.0
Router(config)#network 10.1.0.0
Router(config)#router rip
Router(config)#network 176.16.0.1
Router(config)#network 10.0.0.1
which one?¿ | |

They are equivalent. | |
| mccabe 2001-08-21, 1:09 pm |
| on my test i had to choose. i know they seem the same. those are not the exact numbers from the test but they are similar. | |
|
| Hi!
A suggestion, try a telnet session typing r1r2.com.
And explore every command, that should help
Good luck!

They don't seem the same; they are the same. When it comes to RIP, the IOS will use the major network of the address you provide in the network command. The commands:
network 10.0.0.0
network 10.1.0.0
network 10.0.1.0
network 10.1.0.1
etc.
are all "translated" to
network 10.0.0.0
There must have been something else in the question on the test. The two variants you just posted are equivalent. | |

I don't mean to put you down, but if you failed CCNA five times you're probably better off considering a different line of business. CCNA is not that hard after all. Just a thought... | |
| raydawg30 2001-08-21, 5:52 pm |
| I remember a couple of questions like this on my CCNA, very similiar anyway. What there looking for is the fact that you must be able to identify the class of address of the network you want to advertise. If you want to advertise a class A network of 24.0.0.0 then you would type "network 24.0.0.0" not "network 24.128.0.0" or "network 24.192.0.0" etc..... these addresses are including subnet information which isn't needed for rip or igrp because they are classful routing protocols. Anyway, that's the only difference that I saw on the questions on the test, 3 of the options included subnet info and the 1 other option is a standard network address following the default subnet mask for the given address class. That's how I answered them on the CCNA and I didn't miss them, it's another one of those find the CISCO answer type of deals I believe. Good luck on your quest for the CCNA but if you've failed it 5 times already, you really need to evaluate your study habits and ask yourself if you have enough actual experience on a router to certify.
Sincerely,

| To configure RIP routing, just turn on the protocol with the router rip
command and tell the RIP routing protocol which networks to advertise.
That’s it.
The first thing
you need to do is to delete the static routes off each router. This is done with
the no ip route command.
(config)#no ip route 172.16.20.0 55.255.255.0
172.16.10.2
Secondly,
(config)#router rip
(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0
RIP version 1 uses only classful routing, which means that all devices in the
network must use the same subnet mask. This is because RIP version 1 does
not send updates with subnet mask information in tow. RIP version 2 provides
what is called prefix routing and does send subnet mask information with the
route updates. This is called classless routing. | |

| Ok for people saying test not being hard... well I am sorry but test is not easy neither... 849 come on guys...
I got 989 out of studying my brains out and alot of people are using cheeting materils to pass CCNA now that doesnt mean that the test is easy. But still study hard and thoroughly ans you will pass. Test is fun when you pass after hard work! | |
|
| I agree with dmaftei that if you have taken the test 5 times ($500) you might want to consider a different proffesion. If you really want to pass the test go to cheetsheets.com and purchase the actual test with the actual answers that you will see on 7/8 of your test verbatem. If you study all 156 questions on the cheetsheet and take your test you will pass the next time you take the test. Just remember that your CCNA is only good for 3 years and then you have to get recertifed again. Also just because you pass your CCNA doesn't mean you are going to get a big dollar job. You still have to go through an interview process which in most cases are more difficult than the CCNA exam. So with that in mind how bad do you really want to have your CCNA. | |

| I think you guys have been had. First of all, I find it hard to believe that anyone can fail the CCNA test five times; second of all the last line sounds a little odd to me.
"When I pass the test my mom is going to take me Parasailing." Maybe I'm wrong but it sounds fishy to me. | |
|
| I dont mean to bother. But u know ccna is easy & has little contributions to the IT field. If this test has been failed again & again, then let along to mention to work in IT prof field. | |
| whytokayok 2001-08-23, 7:56 pm |
| Sorry you're having a tough go at the CCNA. What areas are you scoring the lowest in? I'm also a little curious about the cost. Did you have to pay a $100.00 each time you took the the test or did they give you some kinda break? | |
| whytokayok 2001-08-23, 8:01 pm |
| dumfart has a good point. We may have been had on this one  | |

When I took the test there was one question similar to the one you posted, with one exception. There was one option that showed the following output:
Router#config t
Router(config)#router rip
Router(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0
All the other options lacked the
(config-router)# prompt after the "router rip" command was entered. The correct output should be as shown.
Hope it helps.

| I sure hope that this just someone trying to get the most reads on a posting because if you read through the book twice and still don't understand that a classful routing protocol cannot understand a netmask, my suggestion is that you don't take the test again because you didn't understand the informtion the first five times.
Anyhow, if you took the test 5 times, and only red the book twice?? It would seem that you are both not up to the task and have extra money to blow.
If you are really sincere about this, invest in a class if you are serious about understanding networks. If you don't eventually you will wish you did becasue in the end you will only know enough to take the exam.
If you are spamming, pretty good one. Funny stuff. Anyhow this should give you pleanty of ammunition for further pushing this joke. | |
| mabworks 2001-08-29, 12:30 am |
| I suspect that the two questions had differences in the kind of config presented, rather along the lines Hsmaia suggested.
So one answer might have said
router(config)#
and another might have said, for example
router(config-if)#
If you went through the entire Cisco Networking Academy program (which would have taken 2 years at the high school level that the remark about parasailing suggests) and are this confused still after 5 times through the tests, I wonder how you made it throught the CNA to begin with. The tests in that program are chock full of exactly this sort of question. | |
| radup70 2001-09-03, 4:08 am |
| I think you must do somthing else before attemting to take the test again. If you failed that much, you probably loose self confidence and its more likely to fail again! so do my advice is to do somthing else, be succesful, and then return to this exam!
god luck! | |
| jrivera 2001-09-04, 4:13 pm |
| The answer to the question regarding is as follows:
RouterA(config)#router rip
RouterA(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0
RouterA(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0
The reason for this is because RIP requires you to enter the network address not the subnet address (ex. 10.0.0.1).
My first choice is class B addr. and second choice would be class A addr. according to the Transcender quizzer + real world experience. | |

| Just took and passed it today with 956....
The choices as I recall read:
A) router igrp 100
network whatever
network 10.2.0.0
B) router igrp 100
network whatever
network 10.0.0.0
C) D) and E) are wrong for various reasons already elucidated...
I believe the point of the question is that 10.2.0.0 is actually invalid b/c it's class A and a 0 should really be in the second octet.
In practice, the router recognizes this and translates it to 10.0.0.0 anyway.
But, this seems to be similar to all the other really technical syntax-based questions they ask. And B would be their "best" answer. | |
| mccabe 2001-09-06, 12:24 pm |
| you are right 10.0.0.0 be good
i passed the test a few days ago with 967 finally. |
