**To prevent the buff becomes full, how can u config ur net monitor?

A. set trigger

B. Set Filter

C. .....

D. Save all the info. to one file.

I chose the answer D( May be wrong)

4. You have three subnets. One subnet has a PDC and a BDC, and the other two subnets consist entirely of Win95 machines. You use one of the Win95 machines. There are no WINS servers, and the routers don't forward NetBIOS broadcasts. You can log on and map drives from the PDC and the BDC, but when you open Explorer, you can only see the computers that are in your subnet. Why can't you see the PDC or BDC? 

I don't remember all of the answers, but here are a few of them:

a. The LMHOSTS file on you computer contains an incorrect entry for the  PDC and the BDC.

b. The LMHOSTS file on the master browser for your subnet contains an incorrect entry for the PDC.

c. There is no master browser for your subnet.

d. There is no backup browser for your subnet.

e. A couple more choices that I don't remember.

I chose B. The PDC is the domain master browser and the master browser for its subnet. If the master browser for my subnet knows about the PDC, then I should be able to browse to that subnet just fine.

Question: What service(s) is/are started with WINS? Choice two (2)

(a) Alerter

(b) Messenger

(c) Workstation

(d) Computer Browser

(e) Something else I forgot

chose b and c.

1 SNMP - If you don't want any Management console program to be able to access your SNMP agent - can select 'only accept snmp pckgs form these hosts' on the security tab.

I got one question making use of drag & drop method. It was on subnetting.  It was structured like this. There are two columns with subnet mask on the left while number of Hosts on the right. You are to drag subnet mask that'll give you maximum Network ID while while you still achieve the number of Hosts listed on the right column.

1) Connection-oriented protocol. choose 2

My ans. TCP, SPX

2) Connectionless-oriented Protocol. choose2

My ans. UDP, IPX(not sure)

3) If T1 line fails, what method of redundancy is used for email purposes.

My ans. ISDN (not sure either), choices are T3, ATM, CO3?, ISDN,

X.25

4) Dial up protocol, 5yrs old computer, cannot use auto IP addressing.

My ans. SLIP

5) Dial up protocol. choose all that apply, there are only 2 selections, PPP SLIP,

My ans. both

6) What network tool is used to monitor activities on hubs, routers, bridges, etc.

My answ. SNMP not sure, other choices are Performance Monitor, Protocol analyzer.

7) Almost similar to above question, Using Windows 95, want to monitor network through the router (not the same wordings). I chose SNMP again, other choices, Performance monitor, proto analyzer.

8) This one is tricky, I don't remember the question but the choices are NDIS 2.0, NDIS 3.0, NDIS 3.1, ODI. Just know if these versions are valid.

9) Using Win NT station, small groups, administering their own resources, only one need to share her resources, what security implementation?

My answ. user-level sec., sometimes I doubt this answ and could use share-level but I thought share level is not an option in NT.

10) Using NWLink, cannot talk to the network.

My ans. client using inc. frame type

11) Can connect using IP address, but having problem using server's name. Whre do you start

troubleshooting. My ans. WINS server.

12) This one, the question was vague, something about NETBIOS and not use same name and not causing problem (something like that) choose 3. My ans.

workgroup name, share name, domain name. I left computer name out.

13) Using a backbone between floors.

My ans. 10Base5

14) High level protocol for NETbios to handle file sharing. A lot of choices for this.

My ans. SMB

15) Scenario: connect 2 branch office with 1 main office 20 miles.

Proposed: use 10Base5.

Does not satisfy required.

16) Connect 3 cities at least 1Mbps., Opt: must continue to comm. if one link fails. Proposed:

2 T1. My ans. Satisfy required but not optional.

17) Must reduce network utilization by 50%.

increasing windows of TCP/IP

 

18) Something about dragging the devices picture to the drawing, says "drop here". It's weird.  The question was your network has no communication because you haven't completely connected he connectivity devices. Choices are repeaters, bridge, hubs, routers. It has Ethernet, token ring.

3. You want to find out the network traffic generatet by servers than which utility do you use

netstat

perform monitor

network monitor

ping or some thing like that

I choose network monitor(not sure)

4. you can connect the DNS Server by pinging IP address but not by ftp

datasrv.com ?(I don't remember the answer)

5. Try to reach another computer in different subnet but HOST(source)

computer has ARP broadcast why? I choose wrong SM of

the source computer.

6. Scenario question about If "A" computer wants to connect "B" in the

same subnet then what kind of change or what you you do

(Its not route add destination and mask and so forth) They give you

their IP,gateway and SM address and you have to change their ip

adrress or SM or DG address.(really takes time)

5. 1 question was drag and drop. It is aboutnode type of name

resoultion.Remember that it mentions DNS not WINS and you have

to know the sequence of DNS name resolution.

NO QUESTIONS about subnetmask so DO NOT invest your time in masking and

suprnet masking. But you have to know the

THUMB RULE i.e. A class has one octet for net id and 3 octet for host

id,I mean simple calculation of subnet mask.

Anyway, here is what I remember from the test:

One question, you have a multihomed NT Server that you intend to use as

a router for two subnets. Using class B addresses and given the subnet

mask and the IP addresses of hosts on each subnet, what are the

appropriate choices for IP addresses to assign to the NICs on the NT

Server?

A scenario question on setting up an NT Server as a router between

subnets (required). Enabling IP forwarding was not part of the proposed

solution, so the solution fails to meet the requirements.

A scenario where you are shown two multihomed NT systems and a router,

given the subnet addresses, and asked to choose the correct ROUTE ADD

commands.

A drag and drop scenario where you are told that WINS and DNS are

enabled on a network and then given six numbered spaces into which the

name resolution methods have to be dropped in the correct order.

Choices I can remember are HOSTS, LMHOSTS, Broadcast, WINS server, DNS

server, and (I think) the cache.

A question involving being unable to reach a remote host, and upon using

Network Monitor you discover that your workstation is ARPing. What's

the problem.

1. You want to make files on your Windows NT Workstation computer

accessible

to a user at a TCP/IP-based UNIX host on your network. The UNIX computer

is

not using NetBIOS. You also want to ensure that only authenticated users

can

access the files.

What should you do on your workstation?

a. Install Microsoft IIS, put the files in the wwwroot directory, and

add a

password to the internet user account. (anwer)

b. Install PWS, put the files in the ftproot directory, and don't allow

anonymous connections.

c. Install simple TCP/IP services and disable the Guest account.

d. Create a new account on your computer, share the directory that

contains

the files, and assign permissions to the new account.

2. Your Windows NT Workstation computer is configured as a WINS client.

You

want to find out how often your system uses broadcasts to resolve names.

Which utility should you use?

a. nbtstat.exe

b. netstat.exe (answer)

c. tracert.exe

d. Performance Monitor

e. Windows NT Diagnostic

3. Your company network includes several UNIX computers that are running

the

rsh daemon. You want to execute a command on one of the UNIX computers

from

your Windows NT computer.

Which utility must you use?

a. ftp.exe

b. tftp.exe

c. telnet.exe

d. rsh.exe

e. rexec.exe

4. Your company network includes several UNIX computers that are running

the

rexecd daemon. You want to execute a command on one of the UNIX

computers

from your Windows NT computer.

Which utility must you use?

a. ftp.exe

b. tftp.exe

c. telnet.exe

d. rsh.exe

e. rexec.exe

1. How a third DNS Server to function as a Backup server in an

environment where there are already two DNS Servers acting as

Primary and Secondary?

-->Caching-Only Server

2. You want to configure a DNS server to use DNS root server on the

Internet to resolve DNS queries for names that are not in your

DNS domain. How should you do this?

-->By using the CACHE file that was installed by default on the DNS

server.

3. Kevin want to set up a windows NT server computer as a static

multihomed router

---> two answer enable IP forwarding

assign each IP address different subnet address.

4. 187.123.34.19 product

187.123.23.45 develop

you can ping 187.123.34.19 , but you cannot connect \\product\netapps

--> p-node resolution.(answer is last option)

5. Using Windows NT Explorer, a Windows NT Workstation computer cannot

connect to a Windows NT Server computer installed

on a different subnet. All other computer can connect to this server.

When you run Network Monitor, you noticed that each time the

workstation attempts to connect to the sever, the workstation broadcast

an ARP request for the server's IP address. What is the

most likely cause of the problem?

-->The workstation is configured with an invalid subnet mask.

6. Kevin want to install a Windows NT server with four NIC card on his

TCP/IP network

Required result:

The server must rout TCP/IP packets

Optional desired results:

1) the server should dynamically update it routing tables when other

router are added to or removed from the network.

2) the server should provide IP addresses to every client computer on

each subnet

3) the server should send trap messages across the network to a UNIX

server

Proposed solution:

1) install win server

2). install dhcp server create on scope for each subnet

--->The proposed solution does not produce the required result.

7. Where do I put DHCP Relay Agents? (choose 2)

-->1. on remote subnets

-->2. on router between subnets

8. Two scenarios, where you want to enable a server to work as a router.

required result: routing must be possible

optional results: dynamic routing enabled

SNMP traps are to be sent to a SNMP - manager

8a. Activate IP-forwarding

1. install PPTP

2. install DHCP

3. ... (some services that are meaningless in this context)

-> produces just the required result

8b. Activate IP-forwarding

1. install RIP

2. install DHCP

3. ... (some other services but not SNMP)

->produces the required result and one optional

9. You have a domain spanning across three subnets. You want the

clients in all the 3 subnets to be able to communicate and browse

each other. How will you do that?

You install and configure an NT Server to be put in the middle of three

subnets.

Required:

It should be made to act as a router.

Optional:

IP router and should be made to dynamically update its routing table

whenever routers are added and removed from the network.

That machine to be able to supply IP address to all the machines

belonging to the three subnets. Also you want a NT Workstation to

be sent a trap message across the network.

Proposed Implementation I:

Configure the Server to act as router.

Implement PPTP so that............................

Implement the DHCP Server on the NT Server.

Proposed Implementation II:

Configure the Server to act as router.

Enable IP routing. Configure RIP.

Set the third party SNMP manager.

Implement PPTP so that............................

Implement the DHCP Server on the NT Server.

There are a total of 4 related scenarios with the above question. please

beware.

5.Can't remember the question but something to do with WINS.

(Select 3 answers)

Ans:Install wins server

UPD port 137 on router

lmhosts for each computer

1.Had something close to this but w/o the Unix twist:

10.11.12.13 UNIX programmer # Programmers FTP server

10.11.12.14 server

10.11.12.15 UNIX developer #Developers FTP server

10.11.12.20 developer # developer

you try to ftp developer,you can connect. But you try ftp

10.11.12.20

you fial to connect

-- ip address of assigned to the FTP server is not 10.11.12.20

(answer B )

2.This one was the same:

Kevin uses a nt workstation on TCP/IP network,running the

command ftp 144.123.23.34 ,

he connect to nt server. when he use UNC path in windows nt

explorer, he cannot connect

---the server is not set up to use a win server. ( do not,do

not, do not select the

workstaion is not set up to use DNS server).

3.This one was the same:

on her windows nt workstation computer, jackie can connect to a

remote nt server by

specifying the server's UNC path in windows nt explorer.

However, when she tries to connect

via ftp 199.34.23.100 .she cannot connect.

-- the windows nt workstion computer is denied access to the FTP

server's directories.

4.Kevin and his server, the issue was not a UNIX server but

filtering. I believe the outcomes were the same.

FIRST QUESTION--Kevin want to install a Windows NT server with

four NIC card

on his TCP/IP network

Required result:

The server must rout TCP/IP packets

Optional desired results:

1) the server should dynamically updtae it routing tables when

other router are added to or removed from the network.

2)the server should provide IP addresses to every client

computer on each subnet

3)the server should send trap messages across the network to a

UNIX server

Proposed solution:

1).install win server

2). install dhcp serever create on scope for each subnet

--- FIRST ANSWER is the proposed solution does not produce the

required result

 

Second question same above proposed solution

1)enable IP forwarding on the server

2). install win server

---- SECOND ANSWER IS "meet requirement but not the optionals"

third question same above

proposed solution

1) enable IP forwarding on server

2) enable RIP to IP

3). install the DHCP server on th server. create on scope for

each subnet

-----THIRD ANSWER IS"MEET REQUIREMENTS AND ONLY 2 OPTIONALS.

FORTH QUESTION

PROPOSED SOLUTION

1)ENABLE IP FORWARDING

2) enable RIP to IP

3) install the DHCP server.......

4).install SNMP service on thr server. set up SNMP to forward

trap messages to the

UNIX server

5.Had the question that goes with the following answer. The

question was made to sound much more difficult

than the answer appears.

on the wins server configure ststic mapping for each UNIX

computer (on the real test is on the wins server configure

host name for each UNIX computer)

-------the proposed solution produces the required results and

only one of the optionsl desired results.

6.Had a word problem that went something like this: You are adding

a new RAS server with 2 modems to your

network to allow 2 RAS clients to access the network while

traveling. Your network has 40 workstations and 3 servers

Inernet access is through a single router acting as a gateway.

 

Required Result: Your RAS clients must be able to access all

machines on your networks via

a secure data link, have internet access and no one else can

get in.

SOLUTION: Create a pool of 2 IPs to be available to your

clients, set the clients to allow

server to select IP's. Use microsoft data encryption, on the

clients and the server, configure

WINS on the clients

I selected does not meet minimum requirements. Even if the

encryption requirements were met, the clients needed to be

configured for DHCP or excluded in the DHCP scopes. Opinions are

encouraged to be posted.

1.This question was different.

A diagram with two subnet computers. the subnet on the left has

a server called container and A pc called WKST1 and

the subnet on the right has one server called Market. Wkst1 can

connect Market, but wkst1 can not connect Container

serve on the same subnet

---the default gateway of Container is wrong

The question that I had involved a similar diagram but the

subnets were not trying to communicate across

the router. There were 2 questions involving this diagram.

One involved the subnets ( all of the machines are showing the

same subnet) and the and the other was

having to resolve the ip address to see which one should not be

on the subnet

2.What TCP/IP utility do use to check on the status of a port?

Nbstat

1.Multiple questions on LMHOSTS usagae, not much on the syntax. 1

question concerned using a HOST file

or a LMHOSTS.

The questions I'm not sure of :

1. Windows NT Workstation computer users need to send documents to a

print

device connected to a UNIX computer. You want all documents sent to and

managed by a Windows NT Server computer. You install the LPD service on

the

UNIX computer. What other steps must you take?

a.Install the TCP/IP Printing service on the server.

b. On the server, make a shared printer which use a LPR port to send the

documents to the UNIX print device.

c. Map a logical printer port to the UNIX print device on the server.

d. Install the LPR utility on the workstations.

I choose A and C, ( but B and A would be likely answers also.)

on the Transcenders

a. Create a printer share on the server.

b. Install the TCP/IP Printing service on the server.

 

2. How much network ID must you consider when you define the subnet mask

of

a network ?

1 Network ID for which :

I choose :

a. subnet

b. router interface.

 

I think those are my two wrong.

1. U have a NT computer setup as a router between 2 subnets. U want to

collect stats on the amount of n/w

traffic in the n/w perfmon. Whch counter will u use? Chose Network

interface

2. There was a question on setting DHCP scope on 2 different DHCP

servers on 2 subnets. U had to drag

and drop the start address and end address of the Scope. 3 different

subnets were there to pick from. In one

of them when the subnet portion is converted in to binary, it becomes

0000 (172.25.14.1 to 172.25.15.254)

This u cannot use in the DHCP. U had to pick 172.25.16.1 as start addr.

and 172.25.31.254 as the end

addr. for one of the DHCP svr and a similar subnet start and end addr

for the other svr.

3. One of the scenario questions involving Win NT svrs, UNIX m/cs Win95

m/c s , where u have to setup a

WINS svr, DHCP svr to supply addrs to all subnets , DNS server, Static

entries for Unix m/cs; this question

appeared twice with different proposed solns.

One of them did not mention anything about WINS svr. But it said that

the DHCP svr will give the addr. of

the WINS svr.So, i assumed that WINS svr is already in place and anwered

that it meets required and

optional

after 4 or 5 questions the same one appeared where the prosed soln.

explicitly said that WINS svr is installed

in the n/w. At tht point i knew that my prev. ans was wrong. Alas i

could not go back to correct it. So, check

out for this and be doubly sure before u click the "next" botton.

1. There is a router on your network that you suspect is dropping

packets. From your NT server, what performance monitor measure would you

use to determine if this is true? (This was my first question, and I

remember it because I freaked out. Where the heck did they pull this

from???)

Options Included:

IP (2 measures were listed for IP)

ICMP: Received Source Quench

ICMP: Sent Source Quench (answer)

1
