640-801: The New CCNA Exam

Andy barkl you the latest incarnation of a step-by-step, Cisco Certified Network Associate exam.

by Andy barkl August 11, 2003 - again, Cisco Systems, Inc. has updated its popular entry-level certification examination Cisco Certification Network Assistant (ccna) examination. Recently, I saw update examinations, and received 56, 90 minutes pass and the scores of 849. There are three router simulator, a lot of multiple-choice questions and a few drag-and-drop question.

Test engine itself is slow when it comes to switching between the simulator-based standard multiple-choice questions and - patience is a choice not to be missed! Simulator based on the majority of issues, you will see a network of circumstances, need to configure or troubleshoot one or more of routers, preservation and verify your work. Simulators performance would very much like to the real thing, and includes limited support acronym, edit, and help orders.

examination ccna examinations (ccna # 640-801) seller Cisco status to broadcast live on June 30. Limited in Prometric and Pearson test users exchange centres around the world.

The reviewer rating " test your knowledge exchange network and extend VLAN, of the scheduled routes, traffic management IP access to the lists, " .

Test # 160 Information 55 to 65 (3 emulation), 90-minute time limit, toxins.

score of 849 needed. Fee: $ 125 (United States).

Who We should take this test? those who want to earn self-reliance ccna an attempt to (other people can Two new test option).

test goals Click here to 407, 507 and 607 versions, I can say that, although the examination goal there is no significant change, with the latest update, much of the content is new and improved (minus the extensive OSI Topics). The new network of topics including DDR register settings and configuration. You may want to download the official target examination from Ciscos Web site here.

And 640-801, the objective has been to simplify the classification of the following four aspects: planning and design, implementation and operation, troubleshooting and technology. Following is a profile of the group and, where focus your learning.

The No. 1 objective: Planning and Design Under the general heading, you will find these topics listed: the design of a simple LAN using Cisco technology.

Design an IP address scheme to meet the design requirements.

Choose an appropriate routing protocol, based on user requirements design a simple Internet use Cisco technology.

For a visit list, to meet user specifications.

Choice Yun services to meet customer demand.

Wow! They use the word design, there are many times here. Even so, compared to The new Cisco Certified Design Manager (ccda) test (reviewed here), the design problems pale in comparison.

The key to this is the Branch know how to plan, distribution, allocation, subnets and difficult IP address. You must have a thorough understanding of the classes of IP addresses, starting and ending its scope, the default subnet mask, minus 2 rule, how figures, and to determine the first host, moderator and the final broadcast address any Ziwangguoban, with the mask for the calculation of the required number of networks or presenters or both. Do you really need to have subnetting cooling down, it went into examination booth or you can find a short period of time to finish all the problems! If you feel very uncomfortable and subnetting, and start practicing. Top resources for learning to subnet is named learntosubnet.com.

Here to help the technical computing Ziwangguoban: 256 minus subnet mask . For example, the address of 192.168.0.22 255.255.255.240 in 192.168.0.16 subnet and subnet 16, 32, 48, and so on. The first allocation of the address is 17, broadcasting, 31.

Tip: I do not know how to convert binary to decimal and hexadecimal.

Other LAN design issues, deal with this target area defined network congestion problem, and how to prevent them. You should know that the characteristics and bring the benefits of full duplex Ethernet, as well as restrictions. Data can travel 10 MB per second in the 100 Mbps or above, and full duplex transmission, and data can travel at the same time in this 2 direction. However, there are also restrictions on the distance, 100 meters, wiring such limitation of five categories, as well as the need for network switches.

Rip the version 1 and is classful igrp distance vector routing protocols. Rip Use Metric jump count igrp utilization of the bandwidth and latency. 1 , the method used to prevent loop distance vector routing protocol is to split the horizon.

Splashed over-the-horizon of a lesson will not be returned to the road in the direction in its lessons.

Tip: rip, capture, Version 2, and there are many ways to prevent igrp routing loop: Divided over-the-horizon, poison reverse, the biggest jump count, and down timers.

OSPF link function is based on the state of routing protocol, the two sides eigrp is a mixture of the distance vector and link state their support for a type of routing. Eigrp also supports IP, AppleTalk and IPX solution Protocol, and a separate process, and Table each.p> big part of the examination is usually ccna access to the lists. It seems that they do not have much Later, in your Cisco certification and research, so that Ciscos visit, it is hard with them on ccna. Very familiar with the structure, operation, verification and modification standards and expand access list. Know that the use of IP standards and for the expansion of the list (1-99 as the standard IP, 101-199 for the extension of leaf). Know the regulations for access to the list: a list of each interface, each direction, each Protocol! Entered the list of people very puzzling. The best approach is to review the Cisco White Paper here If you feel you need to brush up.

In many cases, the appeal to recommend ccnas Bay Link connection types So know that your primary Protocol Bay, and recommended the use of. Frame relay is a packet switching Protocol, which is widely supported and readily available. Most of the ISDN based on the theory The question is, in this version of the examination, but they have been replaced through the implementation and configuration issues, (I will address them later in this review). Do not forget to support Bay PPP protocol, as well as its authentication methods - Pap uses clear text, the first chapter, supports multiple encryption forms of network authentication, not password.

Objective of the # 2: Establishment and operation of This area covers the following topics: routing protocol configuration to user needs.

Configuration IP address, subnet mask and gateway addresses of routers and moderator.

Router configuration for the additional administrative functions.

VLAN configuration switches and inter-switch communication.

Implementation of the network.

A switch configuration customized to meet specific network needs.

Image management system and equipment configuration files.

Perform an initial configuration of a router.

Perform an initial allocation of a switch.

The access list.

Simple Bay Protocol.

Router can be configured network line, and found that the routing protocol.

Manually configure, connect, and static routing usually tend to self they have some of the lowest administrative distance. The examination also remember When viewing a routing table Cisco router, you will see two values brackets - such as [1 00 / 2] - This shows that the distance and count Wo Hop or other metrics. Also said that next year, with each route in the table Whether it is a connectivity 3 (c), static Route (s), or is dynamic routing protocols (designation, such as the R rip, I igrp).

Rip and igrp is relatively simple configuration. Several IOS command followed by the router rip issued a statement through the network. The router is igrp igrp 10, including an autonomous system number, followed by a network statement.

Tip: When an interface configured to passive routing, Interface will be accepted, rather than advertising network routes.

Again, this section of the examination to depend on your knowledge subnetting.

You can get a simple network diagram of a subnet, router and the host, and asked to determine appropriate the assignment of IP addresses. Read every address carefully, because the answer may not always be obvious! Every ccna should be aware of the circumstances under which a Cisco switch and bridge functions of a network. You will want to know the STP (Spanning Tree Protocol), VLAN, and the method of switching and cut through store - and-forward. The deadline for adoption switch is a desirable approach when media collision low, and the incubation period switch can not be tolerated. Store-and-forward, on the other hand, is the need when media collisions high, and higher latency is acceptable.

VLAN has become the most commonly used method to connect network clients and their choice of the logic on the server, through the exchange network, but no connected to the same physical switch. Network administrators VLAN general configuration of the switch. They are providing the level of security and control restrictions broadcast network traffic, much like routers.

Turning back to the White Paper Cisco, as mentioned earlier (link), use extend the access list, you can not deny that telnet traffic router interface For example, the list of 101 IP access denied any TCP any EQ telnet (Do not forget, Add to permit statement If IP access list 101 permit any Mr any or all vehicles will be rejected). You will use click "list to filter Interface: Ye click" Project 101 inches To configure a lot of things to prepare a I for frame relay For this reason, you should be familiar with the cooperation with them. Recitation different frame relay, LMI dlci configuration and type. Frame Relay Packaging type is Cisco and Cisco IETF by default. Dlcis is a limited sense and represent not only the link identifiers, from router to frame switches.

LMI is the type of ANSI, Cisco and q933a. When there is a mismatch in the two routers, in this communication will occur.

Integrated services digital network configuration and the DDR is a new ccna topic on the list - not as I SDN Protocol, but as a complete understanding of how to configure ISDN and dial-up video demand Routing (DDR). First of all, this is a great reference Learning: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/793/access_dial/ddr_dialer_profile.html.

Believe you understand the components and orders a dial-up attitude configuration of the order: ISDN switch-type PPP type certification bri0 interfaces (IP address, Packaging PPP, and dial-up members in the pool for 1) to I dialer0 (IP Address Address mask, encapsulation of purchasing power parity, dial-up pool 1, dial-up string xxxxxxx, according to PPP authentication type).

Objective # 3: Troubleshooting this goal, Cisco is expected to let you know how: use of the OSI model as a guide, a systematic network troubleshooting.

Performance LAN and VLAN troubleshooting.

Problems routing protocols.

Difficult IP address and host configuration.

Troubleshooting devices part of a network.

Resolve a visit to the list. Bay simple troubleshooting.

OSI model is not a natural one: how can any network in the master may be given by the average daily do not know the OSI model? If you are not familiar with it However, in the OSI 7 layer reference model, from the top is the application, presentation, meeting, the traffic, network, data link layer and physical layer. Numbers start from the bottom (physical layer 1). Know of the names and their order is crucial. Some people like to use an anagram to help. One of my collection (from the bottom up), please do not throw sausage pizza disappeared.

Do not know where the most common network equipment operating in the OSI model, but also must be carried out. In the physical layer of network cabling, repeaters, hubs and . Data link layer, including bridges and switches, routers operate in the network layer.

Tip: Switch is a multi-port bridge.

As a ccna, you must understand that in this protocol operation and each layer function. This examination focused only on the TCP / IP protocol. From the physical layer, the link "br> is agreements, such as the v.35 and RS - 232, which established physical connection and signaling on the wire. In the data link layer protocol, such as Ethernet, Token Ring and fddi responsible for identifying network topology and data communications standards.

In the network layer, IP, ICMP the ARP agreement. In the transport layer, the link "br> is TCP and UDP. UDP is fast and efficient, but does not provide a guarantee of delivery TCP and the same broadcast. TCP is more commonly used, and in that there are many upper and applications. The use of the TCP window, buffering and cognitive for flow control. Beyond the meeting and introduced simple layer, the application layer contains telnet, FTP, TFTP from, SMTP, as well as many other applications- Protocol.

Troubleshooting IP address, subnet mask, gateway requires an understanding of subnetting . You can get a simple network diagram of a sub-networks, routers and hosts, and asked to identify incorrect transfer IP address. You may find that a problem, the configuration click "list. Remember rules from the above, as well as the following: If you created a visit with the list deny statements, and there is no permit, you will prohibit the routing of all vehicles on the application interface. Remember that the link "br> is clear that in the end of each of the access list.

Tip:-ping and traceroute show the IP routing can be used to resolve the connectivity issue.

In order to understand how to perform password recovery program, the Cisco router is to have the knowledge to ccna. Remember, the 2500 Series routers, command configuration register 0 x2102 return bits from 0 x2142, it changed the model used in the rommon command O / R for password recovery.

Objective of the # 4: Technology According to this last heading, you will find these topics listed: description network communications using hierarchical model.

Described Spanning Tree process.

Compare and contrast the main characteristics of the LAN environment.

The characteristics of the evaluation, routing protocol.

Evaluation of TCP / IP and its related protocols of the communication process.

Describe components of network equipment.

Evaluation rules packet control.

Evaluation of the main features of WAN.

Spanning Tree Protocol (sewage treatment plant) is turned on by default all Cisco switches. Along with the Station (Spanning Tree Algorithm), which prevent the exchange of network loop. Sao Tome and Principe allow exchange bridge protocol data unit (bpdus) from switching choose a root Bridge (switches, in this case matter), and decides that if the network loops are present.

Then Station to switch responsible for the establishment of the local loop, and their redundancy port or port closures to prevent the network ring Road. There are five ports countries may: obstructive, listening, learning, forwarding and the disabled.

Tip: Listening state is the port determines whether or not should not participate in the The transmitted frame. Learning state When he learned that the port MAC address is transmitted into the database.

Remember, network routers combine divide into different broadcast domain control client and the server-side network broadcast traffic. Switches and bridges, manufacture or divide collision domain.

Density lipoprotein cholesterol is the default Cisco router serial interface package type is only understand other Cisco routers using Ciscos density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Tip: ISDN support faster call set-up than the traditional analog modem.

PPP is a method of authentication, the use of Chapter 1 is the first choice, because the password is not sending the National wire. Configuration command is user account Password Password, if the user is a router mainframe counterparts. Note: password must be the same in the two ends of the mainframe and password sensitive.

Preparation tips in the decision on the study guides, will be fully prepared you for the new ccna 640-801 examination must Remember, the goal has been adapted knowledge test really there has been little change from the previous ccna examination 640-607. Therefore, if you have already started your learning, to continue with your current 607 study guides and materials. You should also pickup router simulator or real Router router simulator for the problem. Cisco routers use simulators in their examination by the Cisco Networking Academy Program, you can view the demonstration even an official thinking Simulator examinations here.

Many third-party products are very similar to this product.

This wrapped up, ccna version of the test. Remember, if you still feel overwhelmed, you can now obtain this certification a process of the two examinations by Both sides briefed (640-821) and icnd (640-811) examinations (2 Among them, we will review the site in the short term).
