Command Questions (Space or No Space)

| These are a very basic commands. But, I want to clear up any confusion.
What is the correct command to change the clock rate of the DCE interface to 56K?
A. clock rate 56000
B. clockrate 56000
C. clockrate 56
D. clock rate 56K
I've seen both A and B answers to this question. For the CCNA exam, Is A the correct answer using the SPACE in between clock and rate? In the Cisco Academy I remember typing in 'clockrate 56000' and this command working. Which answer between A and B is correct for the EXAM?
What is the correct command to change bandwidth of the interface to 64K?
A. bandwidth 64
B. band width 64
C. bandwidth 64000
D. band width 64000
The correct answer is A. Here, the correct answer has no space between band and width. This is confusing. It seems to me that 'clockrate 56000' with no space would also be correct.
What do you guys think?  | |

| clockrate 64000, bandwidth 64
the answer is 1.B 2.B | |

| clockrate 64000, bandwidth 64
the answer is 1.B 2.B | |

| clock rate 64000
bandwidth 64
these are right
sorry.....! | |

For all purposes the correct answer is A. clock rate is a weird beast in the IOS CLI, in the sense that when you type it in it's clock rate (note the space), but when you look at it with a 'sh run' you'll see clockrate. Go figure... | |

| answer is A. clock rate 56000
ya kinda weird eh? dunno why cisco did that...! | |

| Yes, the clock rate command although simple, is rather confusing.
As always, Thank you gentlemen.

| Clockrate and bandwidth are ONE WORD and always expressed in Kilobits.
BANDWIDTH 64 = telling your routing protocol to advertise its metrics as if this was a 64 Kilobit circuit. The bandwidth command has no effect on the physical circuit.
CLOCKRATE 64 = Setting the clock rate to 64 Kilobits. This sets the actual layer-1 frequency of the circuit.
Hope this helps. | |

| Bandwidth is one word and clock rate is seperate...
i don't even have any certificates and I know:
clock rate 64000
bandwidth 64

Well, Mike, I don't think so...
clock rate command
bandwidth command | |

I didn't realize there was such confusion on this topic... I have have always used it as one word... I may e-mail Cisco on this one, because I also see the command listed with a space also. We'll get to the bottom of this one! | |

| Some of these exam cram questions can be wrong you know, so don't rely too much on them.
clock rate 64000
bandwidth 64 | |

| Ive just received the BSCN book through the post and I'm afraid your all right.
Appendix D, P667 says the Command is "clock rate" with a space, but in the meaning it says "sets clock rate in bits per second (used if interface is DTE); note that clockrate also works" n.b. no space!!
Though if I remember from my ICND the answer needed is "clock rate"
Out of interest Bandwidth is with no space and has no alternative's. | |

| I just want the correct answer that CISCO wants for the CCNA exam. In the academy, I entered "clockrate 56000" (no space) and it worked just fine. But again, I want the "CORRECT" answer that they (Cisco) want on the exam.  | |

| Well,
It appears that using no space will work in the IOS, but the majority of the opinion is to use a space. If I had to recommend which to use, I would use the command CLOCK RATE, with a space. It appears to be likely that the correct syntax of the command is with a space, but some versions of the IOS will accept no space because some people still type it that way. Needless to say, I will use a space with the command from here on, even though it worked without a space before! L8r all...

Dear all,
1. clock rate 64000 - for CCNA Exam
2. bandwidth 64 - for CCNA exam
Case is rested.
