mnemonic phrases to help you remember the layers of the OSI
You need to know the seven layers in sequence, either top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top. Here are some mnemonic phrases to help you remember the layers of the OSI model:
"Please Do Not Throw Salami Pizza Away" — this works for bottom-to-top.
If you don't like salami pizza, then how about seafood or spinach pizza instead?
"All People Seem To Need Data Processing" — a top-to-bottom reminder.
"APS Transports Network Data Physically" — APS refers to Application, Presentation, and Session. This one separates the upper and lower layer groups.
"Please Do Not Tell Secret Passwords Anytime" — Shh! Another bottom-to-top phrase
I used "All People Seem To Need Data Processing" myself and it was the first thing I wrote down before I started my exam and that was on the 2003 objectives..
Just thought I'd help some first timers out...
D-boy

Here's a link to a topic similar to this. Webmaster (Johan) also gives other links inside that thread.

- PPTP/SLIP/LT2P/CHAP
- Kerberos/SSL/ IPsec/ WEP/WPA/ 802.11 series<especially 802.11g and b>
- voice and data channel capacities
- data rate speeds on T1 and T3 <but not limited to>
- DSL/ISDN <dsl dsl dsl dsl dsl>
- read on tools <dont forget about Cross over cable>
- TCP/IP <of course>, IPX/SPX, dont get confuse NetBEUI with NetBIOS
- DNS <haa..they love to ask about that one>/ DHCP<must must must know>/APIPA <how it is related to DHCP>
- Class A.B,C IP addressing schemes< especially on C, since it is in use nowadays>
- read on Subnetting, but dont worry too much..this is not CCNA <and i really really hope someone would invent some kind of a OS platform that includes Automatic Subnetting Ability. its a pain in the you know..to subnet>
- Utilities <*ping, *tracert,Nbstat,netstat,ipconfig(so easy even a cave man can do it)>
- Interpret the outputs from the above utilities <i couldn't answer any of the questions on Outputs on the exam since i was not expecting too much on those..ewww bummer>
-hmm what else??
-oh! cables, connectors and their characteristics <must know Cat3 and Cat5>
Good luck guys!
i am going for MCP next..the book is bigger than Network+ but its not hard as Net+ since i know half of the book already..Thank God i have XP, and willingness to mess with it all the time..hehe"If you want to kick the tiger in his ass, you'd better have a plan for dealing with his teeth." -

I actually got a question on the order of the OSI layers on the Network+. I used "Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away" - Except on a later question there was no answer for how Pizza works with data encryption
