two books, different answers

Longbow

I have two books I'm working from.

1) Todd Lammle's CCNA Study Guide 4th addition
2) Richard Deal's Cisco Study Guide by McGraw Hill

I was asked a question on configuring an IP address on a 2950 switch (on a practice test). This is performed on vlan1 and both books state this. However the question was what the prompt is at this point. Todd Lammle's book says that it is:

Todd2950C(config-if)# chapter 7 page 334

Richard Deal's book says that it is:

2950(config-vlan)# chpater 7 page 310


Is it (config-if) or (config-vlan)??

I ran it through my boson simulator and it comes up (config-if). Can someone with a real switch verify this for me?

Thanks


Incidently, this stuff is difficult enough with out having recourses that can't agree with one another.

The ip address command should be issued under (config-if)#. An example is shown in the Cisco 2950 Swtich Command Reference:

Thanks for the info kplab and nanoage.

When the Bosen simulator used config-if I figured this was probably the right responce - now all doubt is removed.

I've found other descrepencies between these two books, it drives me nuts.
