Question about OSPF Areas
Is it ever okay to place all OSPF interfaces in different areas? I'm asking because with inter-area routing, there is less information passed about the network if an advertisement list a different area. So would this make for less overhead and be beneficial to a network? Or is this a big no no and would cripple convergence…

ip route 0.0.0.0 vs ip default-network
I don't understand how ip default-network works. My understanding of the ip route 0.0.0.0 command is it's basically a default gateway, or default route. This route sends any traffic that doesn't have a more specific route to the destination ip. The reason that the ip default-network command confuses me is that you have to…

Virtual Circuits
Ok, so according to the text, the frame relay switch switches the DLCIs in the frame relay header as it reaches its destination router.

Does 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g all use CSMA/CA? But on the Wendell Odom book, it seems that all of them use CSMA/CA. Lammle says that CSMA/CA is also…

VTP and port assignments
Hi guys, I'm going through a lab scenario at home and I noticed that VTP only syncs VLAN information on switches that have the same VTP domain name. I realized only now that it does no assign any of the ports to the VLANs. Is this the normal operation for VTP? Is there a technology that will sync the port assignments…

Giving up on ICND2
I failed the ICND2 for the 2nd time today with a 739. I just feel like the wording/presentation of the questions is way too confusing and I am sick of fighting that clock to the last second. The sims were fair, and I did much better on them this time, but the multiple guess questions were so vague. The ICND1 questions were…

booking ICND1
Hi, I'm going to book the ICND1 exam for the start of November. The annoying thing is that I havn't actually passed a Boson test exam yet. I've taken two as 'custom' exams and chosen 50 questions for it to generate. I got 68% on both which was weird but still means I got 32% wrong. Feels like I've been studying this…

OSPF and VLAN Question
Hopefully this is a quick question. Routing is not my strong point so bear with me here. I set up OSPF on a 3 Router, 3 Switch Network and the Guide I was using said you should be able to ping the Vlan IP of the Switches. I was under the impression that was what ROAS and L3 Switches were for, not Routing Protocols. I mean…

de_stroyed icnd1 today!
Scored a 974. I am in enrolled in the Cisco Academy at my technical college here in St. Louis. I learned my fundamentals mainly from the cisco academy, supplemented with the exam cram book to brush up on weak areas, CBT nuggets (a little), and 31 days before your CCENT book. I'd say its invaluable to know your…

Subnetting Question
I'm doing a project and was given the address space of 200.0.5.2/23 and was told I could use VLSM where necessary. I'm aiming for a /25 mask for my first 3 VLANs since they all have 75 users. My question is, since a 200. address is in class C range, and the default mask is /24, if I adjust to a 200.0.5.2/25 address, am I…

Ive been focusing on studying for ICND1 for the last 2 months and I sit it tomorrow. How many questions are there? I dont' want to know types, just the total number. I want to know how many I can miss and still pass, basically, and to do so I need the total number of questions. The cisco site has been acting wonky for me…

Ok, I have 3 switches in a triangular shape. S1 at the top, S2 at the lower left, S3 at the bottom right. They're all connected to each using a rollover cable. I'm studying for CCNA and I just ran across the Designated Ports section. Ok, S2 is the root switch. Here is the output of show-spanning tree on S1.S1#sh…
