| I had managed to pass 605 (remote access) even though I could not get the simulation to even work. I am not sure what this says for the portion of the score the simulation counts towards?
It was puzzling that even if I pressed enter, clicked on the box, I could not get a prompt. When typing on the keyboard the keystrokes did not echo back to the screen.
I think this is an isolated incident possibly due to the test center downloading it to an alternate workstation. | |

| ...but still you were able to pass.
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S!!!!
With regards to the simulation, what did they asked you to configure? how many? I'm really having a hard time thinking on what's the approach of simulation questions. | |

| hello,
be prepared to configure a frame-relay circuit and change the lmi type, etc.
Review the sims on the cisco web page, use a router simulator or pretend you have to type the 10 commands to configure a frame.
Remember the syntax frame-relay vs framerelay
Here are some of my notes:
Frame relay
frame at layer 2
DLCI mapped to layer 3
mapping can be static or dynamic (inverse arp)
LMI's cisco ANSI q933a
steps to define
---------------
config layer 3 address
encap frame relay
specify LMI
Map DLCI to layer 3 address (static mapping)
-------------------------------------
int s0/0
encap frame-relay cisco (or ietf)
frame-relay lmi-type
(cisco, ansi, q933a)
frame-relay map ip 192.168.3.1
(static mapping)
int s1/1
ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0
encap frame-relay
frame-relay lmi-type cisco
------------------------------------------------
show interface s1/1 (look for up and up)
show frame-relay pvc (fecn and becn)
show frame-relay map (shows serial port and ip address of map + DLCI)
show frame-relay lmi (show stats including packets sent and rcvd)
-----------------------------------------------
verify encap on both ends
show frame relay pvc to verify traffic shaping
encapsulation frame-relay
Config an interface to use Frame Relay
frame-relay adaptive-shaping becn
Config bandwidth usage for protocols
frame-relay class name
Assigns the map-class to a VC
frame-relay interface-dlci
Config a DLCI number on an interface
frame-relay intf-type dce
Config an interface as a DCE Frame Relay switch
frame-relay map
Config a static PVC to Network Layer mapping
frame-relay priority-group
Creates a queue list to be applied to a VC
frame-relay route
Config static maps on a Frame Relay switch
frame-relay switching
Turns your router into a Frame Relay switch
frame-relay traffic-rate
Config the traffic rates on a Cisco router
frame-relay traffic-shaping
Config the map-class to an interface
int s0.12 point-to-point
Config a point-to-point subinterface
map-class frame-relay
Creates a map-class on a Cisco router to perform traffic shaping
show frame-relay lmi
Shows the LMI information on the router
show frame-relay map
Shows the dynamic and static mappings of DLCI to Network Layer addresses
show frame-relay pvc
Shows the configured PVC on the router
show frame-relay route
Shows the routes configured on the Frame
Relay switch
show interface
Displays the line, encapsulation DLCI, and LMI information of an interface | |

| Thank you.This would really help me a lot.
Goodluck on your next exam. I'll take mine this Tuesday! Now I know I'm on the right track. | |

| many thanks akarklin, and well done .
there is a point . how you did not answer the simulation and you pass the exam . as i know , simulation is counted 300 points , that means 700 remain for all other questions ...
best regards and good luck for the cit . | |

| Angel, why dont you just read the damn book. I get so tired of hearing you people say "what did they ask on the test?" "what did they want you to configure?" etc etc. Just read and study! Quick asking whats on the damn test. You are the reason certs decline in value. | |

| happen to me on the CCNA. I read the question and I think OMG this is SOOOO EASY..... I click the console picture thats connected to the router they want me to configure, and the window is just WHITE... I check settings configurations etc, try to get into other routers to get there indirectly via telnet or something... then finally after about 10 minutes and me about to PI** myself poof the window starts to respond and I was able to do the question. Good thing it wasn't the first thing!!!
I can believe the sims are weighted heavily, but 300 points?????
WRT to everybody freakin out about the CONTENT of the sims... They will surely want you to do something that's in the book but they might phrase it as a problem, like A can't ping B, fix it so he can. That's the way things are OUT there. The client reports a problem in his terms he probably knows nothing about LMI types, the pro has to both diagnose and fix it. If you know your stuff it shouldn't be a problem. I'm all in favor of the sims it separates the wheat from the chaff, and if they're done right they can ask the exact same question and the answer can be different depend on the config so you CAN'T braindup it... | |

| I heard some else had a simulation and had to enter (type) a command in the command line.. so just for kicks, he entered a "?" and hit enter... all choices were grayed out except for the right answer..
Go figure!! He passed!!! | |

| r u sure of that? will cisco allow you to type in "?" for command help? I tried using cisco simulation demo and it didn't permit me to type in "?". Or if in the real simulation exam they will allow "?" then it would be a lot easier to get through with simulations questions. | |
| RubenSamir 2002-07-21, 9:50 am |
| Well... it wasn't me and I was not there, but the one who did it is crazy enough to try it, so I do tend to believe him.. And there is so much going on with the new exam simulations that it is possible.... LOL | |
| angel328 2002-07-21, 10:47 am |
| I'll be taking the exam this Tuesday and I wanna know if it is possible. Maybe somebody from this forum can give an advice  |
