I scored 950 today .. Some of the question from 9tut came out . Thanks 9tut

Anyone know for certain whether SSH and HTTPS use both TCP and UDP, or just TCP? I’m finding conflicting information on the Internet, and right now, I can’t access http://www.iana.org to verify for sure.

Thanks!

Finally got access to their website:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xml

As it turns out, all the main applications (ftp, ssh, telnet, smtp, dns, http/https) all can use either TCP or UDP. So, this begs the question, why do some of the exam sims ask which one uses both TCP and UDP when literally nearly ALL services uses both?

Guess technically I should call them (ftp, telnet, etc.) services and not applications.

@hikerdude
so…
SSH uses TCP on port 22
HTTPS uses TCP on port 443

they use TCP because the data flow has to be reliable

Passed today 812/804 thank you 9tut!

Can someone explain what is meant by the term “lan segment”? From what I’ve read, it seems to mean the same thing as a collision domain. Is that correct?

It seems you could call the following configurations “lan segments” (from what I’ve read):

the connection between a host and a switch port

All devices connected to a bridge port (so if a bridge had two ports, you’d have two lan segments).

xallax, if that’s the case, why does the iana website indicate it they (ftp, telnet, etc), can use either transport protocol? That’s what has me puzzled.

practice questions:
http://www.ciscovce.com

Are there any questions about what the different LEDs mean on switches (e.g. on a 2950, if you press the Mode button until the Duplex LED lights, up, the switch ports will show green if operating a full duplex, or they will be off if operating half duplex). Any questions like this on the ICND1 exam?

DNS uses both TCP and UDP

https 443 & ssh 22 are tcp

Just took the ccent and failed…. FYI on a few questions show interface and show running config commands were disabled…. which caught me offguard… the alternative was using
shop ip interface brief.

Glad to hear they ended SDM !

pls i need help, have been trying to practice some simulations on packet tracer. so i was trying to assign an ip address to an interface port on a switch but it kept telling giving me errors and have been trying to see y dt is. can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?

ayo, you have to keep in mind that with packet tracer, you’re working with layer 2 switches. The term “layer 2″ tells you it doesn’t know a thing about Layer 3 (which is where IP addresses exist). This is why you can’t configure an IP address on a port for a layer 2 switch.

Now, you CAN create a vlan and and assign an IP to it, because vlans represent a subnet, which implies layer 3 addressing.

If you were working on a Layer 3 switch (such as a Cisco 6506), you could configure an IP addres on a port on that type of switch (you’d just need to execute the command “no switchport” first to tell the switch you want that interface to be a layer 3 interface):

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk815/technologies_configuration_example09186a008019e74e.shtml#steps

@ayo
you can assign IP addresses to VLAN interfaces (which are logical interface)

In Packet tracer u get a 3560 Layer 3 switch aswell

thanks evryone, now i understand y.

That’s good to know NeilG. Guess I overlooked that icon.

ayo, if you use the 3560, just make sure you use the “no switchport” command before you try to configure an IP address on the interface. When you use the command “switchport”, the port becomes a layer 2 port. If you issue the command “no switchport”, the port is converted into a layer 3 interface (a routed port), which needs an IP address.

Which one will be the correct answer. according to a dump correct answer is A but I think its D. so which one is correct – A or D ? and why ? Please explain ….

a user has opened two internet Explorer windows on her local PC10. He uses them to simultaneously access the local WEB SERVER. at the time to browse WWW documents on the internet, what mechanism makes the data to end up in the correct IE windows ?

A. The OSI application layer tracks the conversations and directs them to the correct browser.
B. The ip source addresses of the packets will be used to direct the data to ther correct browser.
C. The browser track the data by URL.
D. The TCP port numbers are used to direct the data to the correct application window.
E. None of the other alternatives app

E. None of the other alternatives apply*

http://www.9tut.net/icnd1/arp-testlet

Take a look at question number 4.

ASH its definately D

Jip, the answer is D

Hi guys can someone answer this pls…
An administrator is in the process of changing the configuration of a router. What command will allow the administrator to check the changes that have been made prior to saving the new
configuration?
A. Router# show startup-config
B. Router# show current-config
C. Router# show running-config
D. Router# show memory
E. Router# show flash
F. Router# show processes

@stg
the changes were NOT saved yet.

where are all the changes stored on a RUNNING device? in the running-config.

AM I READY ???

Dear Users,

Im planning to take the ICND1 end of december (most probably december 29th). I’ve used CCNA/CCENT ICND1 by Odom (read 2X), CBT nugget video by Jermey (watched 2X), some online forum and 2 latest dumps. When Im doin “test” on all dumps, most of time im scoring more than 85%. I can do any subnet/VLSM in 30 seconds. ahh one more thing, I’ve also ordered “31 days before CCENT”. so probably next 4 weeks i’ll keep myself busy (2/3 hrs per day) with dumps, online forum, 9tut, and packet tracer lab (1 exercise/day).

So what u guys Think ? am i ready ?

fail tonight! (775/804) Please give me any suggestion about whether I shoule retake 640-822 exam again?

@xallax
Yes you’re correct just test on my router. Thanks

Are there any questions about NAT on the ICND1 exam? I know ICND2 calls for config of NAT. Not sure about ICND1

@Bruce, I’m sorry to hear that…but keep at it. What areas were you weak on?

I’m doing some practice questions, but only scoring 680/1000

@montrose
nope, no NAT questions on icnd1

@bruce
you should be glad you scored over 750/1000, that’s still high and is like a B you got in school.
still, cisco doesn’t like Bs, everybody must be an A-grade student.
just get yourself together and go over all the material again and again until you have no doubt you are prepared.

Can someone help with this please,

1) CDP is being used throughout the network. What are the two reasons why the network administrator would use CDP? (choose two)

A) To determine the status of network services on a remote device.
B) To obtain the IP address of a connected device in order to telnet to the device.
C) To verity the type of cable interconnecting two devices
D) To verify Layer 2 connectivity between two deivices when Layer 3 fails.
E) To obtain VLAN information from directly connected switches
F) To determine the status of the routing protocols between directly connected routers.
G) To support automatic network failover during outages.

I chose A, B but the answer is A, D

@phenom
A) we use SNMP for that or just telnet to it. you see if it is a switch, router or host, but that’s says next to nothing about network services.
B) this could be true as you get the IP address of that device with “show cdp nei det”
C) “show controller” does that
D) yes, CDP can verify if there is a L2 connection between directly connected devices as it operates at the data-link layer
E) that’s done through VTP
F) “show ip route” or “show ip protocol”… not “show cdp” for sure
G) a secondary power supply is used for that or just an UPS

i chose B and D.

The answer to the CDP question is B and D. Remember, CDP operates at layer 2, and it also provides the IP address of a directly connected CISCO device (show cdp nei detail).

Hi guys Can someone help me with this pls,

An elementary school has a computer in every classroom. One entire wing of the school connects to a centrally located hub. The teachers have reported a slowdown in the past few weeks to the network administrator. The network administrator has analysed the network and documented a steep increase in utilization as the teachers use a new network-based classroom management application. Which solution will improve the performance the most?

A. Replace the hub with a switch.
B. Install a repeater in the affected wing.
C. Reboot the router that connects to the hub.
D. Install a router and install another hub in the affected wing.
E. Ensure all devices in the affected wing have a default gateway

Answer is A
You will have minimal broadcasts on a switch (all hub traffic is broadcasts)
You can run full duplex (set to auto by default)
You will have less collisions on a switch (ever port is a collision domain)

@xallax and montrose, thanks for the responses.

NeilG is correct. I would like to add that for you to segment the broadcast domain on a switch, you need to create VLANs. That’s part of ICND2.

Thanks Neilg

Passed 640-822 today with a score of 974… Killed it! It’s not a hard test or a tricky test.
Studied for exactly three months with not much prior knowledge of networking.

Used:
TrainSignal ICND1
CBT Nuggets INCD1
Wendell Odom ICND1 exam cert guide
Lots of hands on labs with GNS3
I also bought two 2950-C switches which are connected to GNS3 via a quad NIC ($90.00 on ebay for both of them).
Exam Cram CCENT 640-822
101 Labs for Cisco CCNA by Paul Browning. I bought the Kindle version for $10.00 and used the Kindle reader for PC.
http://www.subnettingquestions.com/ – When you can answer these queations in 20 seconds or less without writing anything down you are good to go with subnetting.

I practiced all the sims here, not memorized, made sure I knew how to do them. Really just went over them one time a few days before the exam. You have to know how to reverse engineer subnets to answer a lot of the questions.

Lots of multiple choice, drag and drop, sims, simlettes, all very easy.

after 9 months of reading and labs (off’n on) passed with 912. It was not an easy one. Suprised because UDP-TCP ports was absent. For sure know your subneting and classes, Security for switch and router (all found in the running-config file) settings, and config. register modes list (x2012, etc.). A question on how key command on how to terminate telnet and two matching-tiles type questions. Used the same books for study, as others have advertised. Good luck.

@IMACCENT: what is your background in networking? You said it was easy, but someone’s background always has to be taken into account on something like this

Which one is the correct answer ? A or D ?? and please explain why ?

A wireless client can’t connect to an 802.11b/g BSS with a b/g wireless card. The Client section of the AP doesn’t list any active WLAN clients. what is the possible reason for this ?

A. The incorrect channel is configured on the client.
B. The client’s ip address is on the wrong subnet.
C. The client has an incorrect pre-shared key.
D. The SSID is configured incorrectly on the client.

@ash
Q9 from: http://www.9tut.com/ccna-wireless

i had my doubts too but then i saw “BSS” and we can assume all the channels are covered.
D is correct for sure

@montrose I have minimal experience/exposure to Networking. I am an IT professional but I do not touch Cisco routers or switches as part of my job.

I studied hard and used real switches with GNS3 to do labs.

It is easy if you learn rather than memorize asnwers to test questions.

Do i need to know about frame relay for icnd1 ?

@paul
nope

@xallax
i will appreciate if you can try to complete that security lab…im still a little bit confused. Have a look please !

@joe mendola
hey there

already said all that i had to say:
use “show running-config” on the switch, answer the questions
use “show running-config” on the router, answer the questions

you must click on 1-2-3-4-99 to change to the next question

questions were about number of vty lines open, about password… i can’t recall them, sorry.
i hope the info i’ve provided has been, is and will be helpful

DON’T CLICK ON NEXT UNTIL YOU ARE DONE WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS!!!

please give me the correct ans.
Which of the following respresents a kind of attack that can be occurred from inside the organization network?
1.Denial of service(DOS) attacks
2.Reconnaissance attacks
3.Access attacks
4.Password Attacks

@bruce
1.Denial of service(DOS) attacks
this is done by using up system resources on the server by forcing several connections from the client side, thus denying other users from accessing the server. this can be done from the outside too

2.Reconnaissance attacks
gathering info about your target using search engines or public websites. could be done from the outside of the network too

3.Access attacks
access attacks can be done from the inside or outside (as per http://www.ciscoarticles.com/CCSP-Cisco-Certified-Security-Professional/Access%20Attack.html )
this is done by exploiting network vulnerabilities (as per http://www.orbit-computer-solutions.com/Network-Access-Attacks.php )

4.Password Attacks
these are done from the inside. the hacker installs a piece of software on a target pc inside the network and runs a unhash, dictionary based password break or just brute force attack (try all possible password combinations)

i’m in-between 3 and 4, but i’d go for 4. what do you think?

Dear Xallax, great opinion! thanks~~

XallaX,

Can u provide some Practical labs here for packet tracer ?
I want to exercise on PT.

Please ..

@Bruce.

Did this question come from the ICND1 exam? If so, it goes back to Cisco’s b.s. questions where more than one answer might be correct (but you have to play their freakin’ guessing game and choose what THEY consider to be the “best” answer.

@ash
give these a try:
http://www.ciscovce.com/demo/icnd1_labs.zip

A great website 9TUT.

http://www.subnetting.org/

This site presents randomly generated subnetting questions.
You can reveal the answer and request another to solve
Practice, practice and practice until you can do them in your head in less than 10 seconds.
Mastering this will help with other ICND1 subnetting scenario questions

There is no right way or rong way to subnetting.. There is more than one way to skin a cat!
You must go with the method that you feel at ease with. It could be the Cisco method, Cioara method, or a combination.

The point is to practice enough so you can visualise the subnet ranges, like playing chess blind-folded.

Anyway, I hope the link helps and good luck

thx Xallax

Data transfer is slow between the source and destination. The quality of service requested by the transport layer in the OSI model is not being maintained. To fix this issue, at which layer should the troubleshooting process begin ?

A. Network
B.Physical
C.Transport
D.Datalink
E.Session

Can some1 please answer the question and please also explain why ??

Thx..

@Ryan
“The quality of service requested by the transport layer in the OSI model is not being maintained.”
that means that the next layer down the OSI model is not fulfilling its job. the network layer.

thx Xallax

One More question-

Which layer in the OSI model is responsible for determining the availability of the receiving program and checking to see if enough resources exist for that communication ?

A. Transport
B. Application
C. Network
D. Datalisk
E. Presentation

according to a dump the answer is B(Application) .. But isn’t it A ??

@ryan
yes, the application layer does that

Someone told me that real exam questions are much more difficult than dumps or cisco learning network practise questions or boson test … Is that true ??

@paul
should that surprise you? if it were all that easy then everybody would own a cisco degree and it would worthless to try to get one.

One more question ..

view the exhibit. what is the result of setting the no login command ??

R1# conf t
R1(config)# line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)# password cisco
R1(config-line)#no login

A. telnet access requires a password
B. There is a virtually limitless supply of ip address
C. telnet access requires a new pass at 1st login
D. telnet access is denied

according to a dump the answer is D. but later on i’ve tried at packet tracer and I can perfect login to the router from pc with ‘no login’ command. so which one is the correct answer ?? :(

@ryan
you are right, the answer is that you can log in without providing any passwords.
it must be a mistake in that VCE

Thx @XallaX

just passed the ICND1, weird question on there though.

It asked what the network ID would be with the following IP address of 192.168.1.15 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.224 with the routing protocol being Rip version 1.

It listed a few different options but how can this even be possible since ripv1 doesnt pass subnet masks?

None of the above wasn’t an option.

alot of the drag and drop questions on here were also on the test, so make sure you understand each one.

@eradz
I think they are asking you what would the network ip address be if Rip v1 is being used. network 192.168.1.0

since RIP v1 is classless it would be 192.168.1.0
RIPv1 doesn’t “look” at the subnet mask
by “default” a 192 address is a class C address

Sorry its not classless its classful
So for a class c address the default subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0

RIP v1 is classful
RIP v2 is classless (uses both IP and subnet mask)

I am taking the CCENT exam tom. Can someone please help me if you have the latest dumps. Please email me at ssingh718@aol.com Please THANK YOU in advance.

Can someone tell me (about) how many subnetting question will be on icnd1 exam ?

reply to Paul:about 20~30%

Latest dumps to robertmarcucio@yahoo.com please! Thanks!

If u study
and use the resources mentioned on this site u won’t need dumps

Nothing beats good old hard work

going tomorrow for having my ICND1

Mine is tommarow too. I’m super nervous. I pass the VCE’s easily. I fail sometimes on Boson. I understand 90% of 9tut.net. I’m not sure if I am ready.

Do i need to dhcp ‘configuration’ for icnd1?

Do i need to know dhcp ‘configuration’ for icnd1?*

@ las & john,

Let us knw about ur result ..
Wish u all the best

@paul
going for my exam.
thnx

@paul
you just have to know what dhcp does.
it “configures hosts” (that’s what its name means anyway)
also remember the DORA and BUBU acronyms – every ICND1/CCNA taker knows them for the rest of their life!

I knw Dora.
But what is BUBU ?

it’s a word that can help you to remeber the 4 way, the frame is sent between a dhcp client and a dhcp server.
1- first time it is sent in Broad, cause it doesnt know where is the server
2-the server(s) reply in Unicast cause they know who sent the discovery’s
3-the client has received parameters but it needs to reply still in Broad, cause even thoug it has chosen the offer on a specific server, it might warn other servers about its choice
4-at the end the server sends a last Unicast, in order to confirm that those parameters are assigned to you, definetily

Passed with 899. tough exam. no doubt. you have to study books. i got 50 % question from dumps. not bad. but still need alot of studies. thanks to 9tuts…and all of other member. alot of information here. now going for icnd 2..

congrats john .. was that ur first try ??

Thx @ Joe

PASSED TODAY – first try – 887. It was a bit more challenging than I initially anticipated. Many of my questions were directly from this site (maybe 25%).

Surprised at two questions – know about port security and remembering MAC addresses – and switch LED colors.

I also Passed today! I had some strange wireless questions that I know I got wrong.

Please, can anyone describe something about the Security Testlet (http://www.9tut.net/icnd1/icnd1-security-testlet) in the exam? I am not clear about it.

@ xallax,

Is that BuBu or BUUU?
I was just watchin cbtnugget video. i think according to jermey itz BUUU ..
So which one is correct ?

BUBU as i wrote upstairs

Took the 640-822 ICND test and failed with a score of 799. In the itemized report on the bottom of the form it lists “Explain and select the appropriate administrative tasks required for a WLAN” twice. Once with a score of 0%, and again with a score of 100%. Noticed that by having that item on the scoring report twice it excluded the “Implement and Verify WAN links” item that was on a previous attempts report. Wonder if excluding that item affected the overall score. Anyone have clue?

@ryan
Yes. and i passed in first try..hurry

practice questions on
http://www.ciscovce.com

it’s BUBU as reported on Boson’s soft; just in case we have still doubts about it:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/215/immagineken.jpg/

passed with 950+ score. I took advantage of this site and I would like to contribute too.
security testlet:
router and switch were connected. Two router and two switch questions. I think “enable password” was configured. I chose “A, B, E” for Q4 and I got 100% for security. May be future question. I think some of the answer choices are misplace with questions in this web site.
Implementation SIM2 question. (CDP)
New Drag and drop Questions:
cell, packet and circuit switch and leased line.
communication between a web server and a PC: ARP, DNS query, etc.

OK I passed. 950/1000.
There was new question:

……………
enable secret PASS1
enable password PASS2
line vty 0 4
password PASS3.
……. ……….
What password will admin use in order to get to privileged mode.
