CCENT exam question

1. Is supernetting in the CCENT?

I ask because there is a question that involves supernetting on the Boson CCENT software yet most threads I found on here suggest that supernetting is in the CCNA exam and not CCENT. On a side note, I don't recall supernetting in the Wendell Odom ICND 1 book.

2. Are you allowed a calculator when you take the exam?

Not a subnet calcualtor, just your basic calculator. I got subnetting down but without a basic calculator it may take a bit longer to solve.



Thanks!

Any question involving subnetting is on the table, so I would say yes. When I took the CCENT, no calculator was allowed.

I have subnetting down, its supernetting that I don't know whether or not it will be on the exam.

Thanks though!

From what it sounds like, I believe the appropriate terminology is VLSM subnetting. I assume you had to subnet let's say a Class C 192.168.1.0/24 address and had to break them down into a couple /30 for the links between the routers, a /25 and a /26 for a couple of user networks. As for being in the material, it is. I'd practice it and make sure you got it down.

calculator, phone or papers ain't alowed...for subnetting try the following method...it helped me...

on the laminated sheet they provided me, I wrote down the followings

128 192 224 240 248 252 254 255

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

the top line is gonna be the subnet mask depending on what's the "/" is......it should also help u with the octate issue & increment.....

Perfect.

I've memorized the 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 but need to memorize the top set of #'s.

Thanks!

if u do some practice subnet problem then u will automatically memorize it....actually the top line numbers r just adding the number before it is the next number..that's all u should remember if u r decent at adding numbers......good luck bud..

Suppernetting was a concept that came out of classful routing. Classful routing is largely a legacy topic, and Supernetting is just part of VLSM.

In classful routing, 192.168.2.0 255.255.254.0 is a supernet, in VLSM, it is just a /23 network.
