No, I did BCRAN last week, the commands did not require you to know the
modes and you do not need to type in the modes, it was exactly like this:
For the purpose of making it clear so that many will benefit, am going into
these example question, it does not represent any exact exam question, it is
just to drive home the point this trend is generating, so that would be
writers of these exams will be better guided.
Which command is used to trigger load backup when the primary link has
reached 50% utilization and will remain up, even when the primary link
utilization decreases.
You will then be asked to click on the exhibit, where you will see things
like:
1. backup interface 50 never
2. encapsulation ppp
3. ppp authentication chap
4. framing esf
5. x25 map ip 10.98.98.25 65252525552 broadcast
6. backup load 50 never
We will then be required to type in the correct command.
Offcourse the answer you will type in this particular case will be 'backup
load 50 never' . you do not need to type:
'Router2(config-if)# backup load 50 never'
Cos there was no option like this and you are not require to do it, you do,
you got it wrong.
I wrote the BCSN on April 20 this year. In the case of BCSN you must know
the modes cos the options were like this:
1. Router#Show running-configuration
2. Router(config)#ip address 65.76.123.1 255.0.0.0
etc
In the case of BCSN you are only required to type in the number
corresponding to the correct command, ie either 1 or 3 or 4. You are not
required to they in the command itself.
Note:
Am driven the more to do this cos, I do not want anybody in this list to
make the same mistake I made when I was writing my BCSN. Because of what I
gathered before that very exam from some one, mostly cos of the near
demi-god that exam had been publicly proclaimed to be, I was so filled with
emotions, so getting there, questions like the last set above were asked,
cos of what I had gathered either in the group or elsewhere, I just type-in
the exact command as it appears in the exhibit I was shown ie something like
'Show running-configuration' instead of '1' . I had done this for about 5
very cheap questions until I realized my mistakes (then the tension had cold
down, cos I discovered that the exam was not a demi-god afterall), but you
know it is adaptative, I can't go back. I lost good 5 cheap questions. Well,
I passed with about 854.
So please, be calm, the exams are very simple, read your cisco press or any
material you are using very well. Close your pick up the pinted scheme for
that particular exam you must have downloaded from www.cisco.com or
elsewhere, look at the outline and see whether you can explain all the
topics, practice as many sample questions as possible, and you will fly at
the end of the day.
Regards.
