Did anyone get any sims on the CCNA test to configure IPX addresses?

Please let me know?

The agreement is not to reveal.

Yep. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".

IPX addresses are simple to configure...

Router# conf t
Router(config)# ipx routing
Router(config)# int Ethernet 0
Router(config-if)# ipx network 100
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# int Ethernet 1
Router(config-if)# ipx network 200
Router(config-if)# end

Cheers,
Ron

"The agreement is not to reveal"
Is this why I do not get any replies from my query on "Link Qaulity Monitor and Loop detection (Magic Number)" thread?

I thought the forum is here to help.

Anyway I have the answer to the first item: PPP Quality <threshold>

Item 2: research in progress....
item 3: answer is yes,
itme 4: the dlci comes from the provider.

No, you will not be required to configure ipx addresses on the exam. I am not revealing anything to you that Cisco has not already revealed in the exam objectives. The only objective related to IPX at all is #25 List the required IPX address and encapsulation type. This does not suggest needing the knowledge to configure IPX addresses, and it would be duplicitous of Cisco to require you to do so on the 640-607 exam. You MAY, however, be required to configure IP addresses and the router's initial configuration per objectives #23 and #53.

#23 Configure IP addresses (duh)
#53 Prepare the initial configuration of your router and enable IP

I will be taking the exam on August 24th. I need to solidify my knowledge on WAN protocols and IOS configuration, the latter just so that I don't stumble on the SIMs. The essential networking questions on the exam are probably already in my knowledge base.

I am using the following to study:

Cisco Press CCNA 640-607 Cert Guide (read twice)
Inside TCP/IP (read twice)
Routersim 3.1 Labs
Dozens of practice exams (bought/free)
2 years of networking experience (6 mos. for the U.S. Department of Defense.)

Anyone with any other suggestions, I would be glad to listen to them.

I personally recommend the Cisco Press guide above all else. Good luck to all exam candidates and wish me luck too!

Pax,

Katama

There should not be IPX config sim, but if there is one, it should be pretty simple. Well, I just recertified on my CCDA, cannot believe that it has been three years, it is the same exam, not too sure why I had to take it again...

I will be recertifing my CCNA on Tuesday, we will see what happens. I read over my old CCNA 1 books, and took some practice exams. I should be ready... finger crossed...

Hi Katama,

There's more to the exam than strictly stated in the outline, though it's a great starting point.

If you're short on time learn the outline. If you have more time learn the material covered in the Sybex or Cisco Press study guides.

Cheers,
Ron

Hi,
I am just respoding to the original posting.

R1# conf t
R1(config)# ipx routing aaa
R1(config)# int Ethernet 0
R1(config-if)# ipx network 100 encapsulation arpa
R1(config-if)# exit
R1(config)# int token-ring 1
R1(config-if)# ipx network 200 encapsulation sap
R1(config-if)# end

I tried arpa as the encapsulation for the Ethernet and sap for the token ring interfaces. You can also set the encap separately not only by adding in the 'ipx network' command. Type the command 'ipx encapsulation sap' inside the ethernet interface 0 mode after you assigned the ipx network number.

No doubt, sooner or later IPX/SPX will be banned from the study guides and cisco tests.

Even Novell, the creator and owner of ipx/spx, seems to have taken considerable distance from its once-upon-a-time favorite workhorse.
