Hi,

the first one looks like it could be related to the switching exam...I hope that none of then are as I have little idea of the correct answers!

If I had to guess I'd say that the answer to Q1 is C (The Cisco Press book indicates that access-lists, etc should be implemented at the Distribution layer).

In Q2, I'd guess that as the 'A' in SAP stands for 'advertisement' (I think), then A would be the correct answer.

The answer to Q4 looks like it should be D, as you said. All of the others are meaningless to me.

Regards
Peter

Hi eieykw,

erm, was the question to me? I took the BSCN exam in May (or was it June?), anyway, I passed that. I'm taking the BCMSN early next week and it depends on the questions whether I pass of not.

I'm planning to get on with remote access either way and hope to be ready to take that exam around Christmas.

Then have another go at switching (if I need to) and then go for the CIT around April next year.

Regards
Peter

ac112,
1. C, all access lists should be placed at the distribution layer.
2. C, SAP stands for Service Advertisement Protocol, so B just sound's wrong - Service Advertisement Protocol Advertisement. I reckon its a broadcast.
3. Sounds like a joke - apples have seeds???
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/458/3.html refers to non-seed routers, but doesn't say they must be configured as non-seed, I'd go for D.
4. I'd agree D.
5. I'd go for A and B. The CCDA book, Page 524 states "Any DNS server can be configured to answer queries for computers with fixed IP addresses. This is useful if computers in your network have fixed IP addresses. When Windows systems use DHCP to get an IP address and WINS to register a NetBIOS name, you can set up a Windows NT DNS server to query a WINS server for names and addresses that were not entered statically.". Only problem is the question asks "must be" and my answer says "useful".

Anybody else got any other answers??

I have to agree with you on #5)

It didn't specify how many answers you choose, but if I had to pick only one, it would be A)WINS. I also remember this from the CCDA book.

My biggest question is on #5 beacuse it says "must be" WINS and DNS are totally independent of each other, and DCHP is not neccessary for DNS, thats why I picked ARP server
But maybe its WINS???
Thanks for your input guys

BTW This is for the CID exam!

Is this for the Support Exam or what?? There is no IPX or Appletalk in the other exams until you get to Support.

My answers were:

B: General rule for access lists, put them as close to the source of the traffic as possible for this purpose. Dist and Access can both enforce policy. Remeber that remote offices connect to the access layer, not distribution layer so to save your WAN link, it is the Access Layer.

C: SAP broadcasts, unicasts would be much easier to filter out, also the reason for segmentation of IPX networks.

I have no idea for Appletalk, haven't looked at it in a couple of months and never worked with it.

D: Remote gateway should be the only item here, it is a decision router for paths outsisde across multiple connections. If this is acting in any other function, it would take away from its ability to perform multiroute decisions.

A: WINS, obvious, DNS and WINS are hand in hand although I don't really agree with the method here. Spoofing the WINS is a real problem and has moved most inside, out of the DMZ. Just put one at each site, you can have an old computer running this if it is its only task, not very processor intensive. Usually runs on your PDC or BDC anyhow. ARP server, why would you care to have a server to determine hardware addresses of IP addresses next to your DHCP server?? Through routing, beyond your network (meaning you go through a layer 3 device) it disapears anyhow and going through the network to do a local task, waste of inter-network bandwidth and processor time. Not to mention that I could have a really fun time with your network with access to these items. As for the DHCP server, that should remain inside the network also, not in the DMZ. That would also be a lot of broadcast traffic twords the DMZ that would be a waste of inter-network bandwidth that should be put aside for your true Bastion Hosts.

Hope that helps, sorry that I don't know much about Appletalk.

Briefly looking over the Sybex book for CID I came across these answers

1.c "As with most network policies, Sap access lists are best deployed at the distribution layer of the hierarchial model.

2.c

3.d Question is tricky?? It says on the LAN, Cisco reccomends at least 1 SEED ROUTER on the WAN.

4.D

5.D the book mentions DNS and WINS together.

Still not positive about #2

Thanks guys

Well I will not dispute that there are some sections in the CID book that will look like you should use a SAP Filter at the Distribution Layer, there are some other areas that should be given similar weight. If you look at the question, you would only implement a Filter for SAP networks across WAN links. According to the book remote offices are considered to be at the Access Layer which also makes some common sense. You would not generate a filter after the SAP traffic has already crossed the WAN Link, that would make no sense. Just about as much sense as implementing SAP filters in your home office network (unless you really messed up your office and all your servers are in the wrong places) which would diminish the reason why SAP requests are implemented in the first place, dynamic server resources.

Put it all together, they should be asking at which layer do remote offices connect to the main office network? The answer to this questions is the answer to where you would implement the SAP Filter in the Cisco Hierarchial Model.

Hope that makes sense. If you are planning on taking the CID, you need to understand why the question are being asked or you will miss a lot of questions for no reason.
