642-901 Objectives (Old):

1. Describe and implement EIGRP operations
2. Describe and  implement multiarea OSPF oprations
3. Describe integrated IS-IS
4. Describe and implement Cisco IOS routing features
5. Implement BGP for enterprise ISP connectivity
6. Describe IP multicasting
7. Configure and verify multicast forwarding
8. Configure route filtering and redistribution
9. Describe and implement IPv6

Mapping of old and new exam objectives:
1 (EGRP)        ---- 1

User may simply click a button or two, and install new demo exam.
2. Online Product Activation: The product activation may be done online after confirmed order placement. Users will need Internet connector for activating the product online. It is possible to activate the product offline (without having Internet connectivity) by sending an email providing the Product ID and order number.
3. 300+ Questions: The CCNA Certification tests consist of 300+ questions spread over 4 individual tests. Candidates may take the test in either learn mode or exam mode. Each question has been explained thoroughly, and usually covers different exam topic.
4. Online Update: Customers will be able to check for any updates, and download an update online without any emails, etc. with customer support.
5. Question Feedback: A candidate taking the test may provide instant feedback by using feedback form without leaving the exam environment.
6. Comprehensive Results Section: Each test taken by a canhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifdidate may be saved for future reference. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

One important feature of CCNA Cert practice tests is the ability to support multiple question formats just as that of actual exam. The question formats include a} Multiple choice questions, Exhibit-based questions, Simlets, Testlets, and Router Simulations. Hardly any other practice test vendor is providing such vast variety of question types for CCNA Certification practice.

12.0 IPv6 Routing Protocol labs
12.1 Enabling RIPng (IPv6 RIP Process) on a cisco router interface
12.2 Enabling RIPng on two routers and pinging between them
12.3 Entering RIPng router configuration mode and setting global parameters on a cisco router
12.4 Configuring EIGRPv6 on a router interface
12.5 Configuring EIGRPv6 on two routers and pinging between them
12.6 Enabling OSPF for IPv6 on a Cisco router interface
12.7 Configuring OSPF on two router interfaces
12.8 General IPv6 configuration on 2610 series router
13.0 DHCP labs
13.1 Configuring cisco router as a DHCP server
13.2 DHCP client configuration
13.3 Configuring two DHCP clients and DHCP verification commands
14.0 Exercises on Spanning Tree Protocol
14.1 Enabling STP
14.2 Configuring root switch
14.3 Configuring port-priority
14.4 Configuring switch priority of a VLAN
14.5 Configuring STP timers
14.6 Verifying STP
Please refer to the lab exercises page of CCNA for complete list of labs provided. Note that the demo version will have access to limited number of labs, whereas it is possible to run all the labs in the
full version of the simulator
.

VLAN Types

1. Native VLAN: It's a VLAN that is not tagged when used on dot1q trunk. Frames using native VLAN traverse without any tagging. Workstations and some switches do not understand dot1q, and only work with frames without tag (Native VLAN).

2. Default VLAN: It's typically VLAN 1 (At least on Cisco switches) - Vlan that is assigned to the switch port, when u get switch "out of box". You can change the default VLAN to any other specific VLAN by using "native vlan" command on Cisco swiches.

3. Static VLAN: "Static VLAN membership is perhaps the most widely used method because of the relatively small administration overhead and security it provides. With Static VLANs, the administrator will assign each port of the switch to one VLAN. Once this is complete, they can simply connect each device or workstation to the appropriate port." The other method is 4.

4.Dynamic VLAN: Static VLANs are the most common form of port VLAN assignments. It is possible to have the switch dynamically choose a VLAN based on the MAC address of the device connected to a port. For dynamic VLAN assignment, you need a VTP database file, a VTP server, a VTP client switch, and a dynamic port. After you have properly configured these components, a dynamic port can choose the VLAN based on whichever device is connected to that port.

5. Access VLAN: There are two modes of a switch port, Access and Trunk: Access switchport mode is used to connect to the end devices, and trunk switchport mode is typically used to interconnect two switches (or a router and a switch). So Access VLAN is the vlan which is assigned to port that is in ACCESS mode and connected to the end device

Tidbits - IP Helper Address


The Internet is based on client/server model. For example, a host may need to contact a DHCP (Short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server for obtaining its IP address. The requests are usually sent as broardcast messages. Since routers do not forward broadcasts, the DHCP server must be located in the same subnet as that of the client requesting the service. But, practical reasons may prohibit a DHCP server to be placed on each subnet of a network. One workaround to this problem is IP helper address. A router, configured with IP helper address can unicast the broadcast message received from a client (or host) in one subnet to a given IP address (of the server) in another subnet, which in turn provides the DHCP information to the client computer.
IP helper addresses can also be used for any other requests such as DNS requests or to locate TFTP servers on a network. IP helper address enables a network administrator to centralize the server services, such as DHCP service or DNS service.

Few CCNA Questions ...

What is true about VLAN trunk protocol?

a. VTP is statically configured, but no built-in intelligence is available.
b. VTP provides intelligence to configure switches across the network
c. VTP is not designed to distribute information across the switch fabric
d. None of the above

ans: b

VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) is a layer 2 protocol that maintains VLAN configurations through a common administrative domain. Configurations are made to a VTP server, and are propagated
across trunk lines to all switches in the VTP domain. VTP provides auto-intelligence for configuring switches across the network.
