Passed CIT
Hi Everyone, I passed the last exam of the CCNP journey this morning and it was a rough road. The exam as some people have put it was a tough one as I had to read the questions twice to understand what they were asking. For those who have not taken the exam read the CIT book by Laura Chappell, I also supplemented it with the new Cisco support book and try your hands on Colt as I met some questions that were similar. OH Priscilla your Flashcards were great on the CIT question and I am happy I used them. Anyway CCNP at last its time to celebrate and hit the books after a deserved rest.

RE: HSRP question
Here is the official answer: The standby router automatically assumes the role when the active router fails or is removed from service. This new active router remains the forwarding router even when the former active router with the higher priority regains the service in the network. The former active router can be configured to resume the forwarding router role from a router with a lower priority. To make the router resume the forwarding role, you must enter the PREEMPT COMMAND this will make the former router assume its previous role. I hope this make sense. _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Trunking--
Stuart, There is a possibility that all links to a router can be a trunk but why do you want to do that?. You would only need a trunk link to a switch if you have multiple vlans and are using the router to route traffic between them. A link would not be a trunk if is an access port in which the port belongs to only one vlan. The port can't receive information form other vlan's unless the information has been routed. Secondly an Hybrid link is where the link is both a Trunk and Access link. These carry both frames, with Tagged frames for Vlan information and untagged frames without vlan information. Therefore it will receive both Tagged and untagged frames. To answer the third question. There is nothing much to consider except the fact that to configure HSRP over an ISL link between vlans do the following 1. Define the encapsulation format which in your case will be ISL 2.Define the IP address and enable HSRP. However remember that you are configuring this on the sub interfaces not the primary interface i.e. Interface fast Ethernet 1/1 .20 encapsulation isl 20. The 20 in the first command is for the sub interface 20. I hope this helps and is not misleading.

Are the following points correct please. 1. Am i correct in that all links between switches and or routers can be trunks if the hardware supports it? When would a link not be a trunk 2. Why would a trunk be an hybrid trunk-if it is directly connected wouldnt it only receive tagged OR untagged frames and not both? 3.

RE: Blocking state
Yes, ports that will not be forwarding are placed in the blocked state. These ports will continue to send and receive BPDU information but will not be allowed to send or receive data.

RE: HSRP
Naveen, The router with the highest standby priority in the group becomes the active router,but by default the lowest mac address becomes the active router if both the active and standby router fails.also be aware that they also said that if the priorities are the same the router with the highest ip address becomes the active router.so Highest priority Highest ip address if the priorities are the same Lowest Mac address if both the active and standby fails. I WISH THEY JUST TAKE ONE. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Naveen SharmaSent: 22 November 2000 16:53To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: HSRP Dear friends, Cisco press book says lowest MAC address router becomes the active router (In HSRP). At other place it says router with highest standby priority becomes the active router. Can any one clarify the situation of active and standby routers in HSRP.I am confused. Thanks in advance.

RE: BCRAN Books
Hi Anthony, I'm in the same shoes as you, but I have checked the archive files for this group study and the general opinion of the guys is to get the Building Cisco Remote Access Network by Catherine Paquet isbn 1578700914.

RE: CCNP Switching 2.0
I guess the answer to your question is IT DEPENDS. I did not get a lot of multicasting question but some people did. The only advise I have for you is that you should study and know it because all the questions about Multicasting were easy questions and could give you additional marks. So don't sweat its relatively easy.

RE: Re : ISDN Backup
I think you are missing some commands from the config on your router. if you want to back up the interface you have to use the BACKUP INTERFACE command on the primary interface. And to have a threshold level you need to use the command BACKUP DELAY, and for the threshold you need to use the command BACKUP LOAD which will be a percentage of the primary line's available bandwidth that the traffic load must exceed to enable dial backup. The best thing is to send the output of the Running congfig and we can take it from there as I think I am walking blindly into this.

RE: BCMSN
Don't sweat, go and take the exam. In as much as Boson is not a true reflection of the exam, when you start to get those high marks and you know the reason behind the question why they are wrong or right go take the exam. Boson for BCMSN is harder than the actual exam. that is my opinion. so go knock them for six.
