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.

Re: BCMSN
I only used BOSON test 1 for BCMSN and I thought it was actually harder than the real test. I was getting in the low 70% on the BOSON test and passed the real test with a score of 856. Also, I used a couple books but "Cisco LAN Switching" by Kevin Hamilton and Kennedy Clark was really all I needed.

Re: BCMSN
Congratulations Rik, I too just passed BCMSN earlier today. I used Karen Webb's new BCMSN book from Cisco Press and the Boson test. The book is based on the Cisco course. Thus 95% of the test content is in the book, while the Boson tests helped identify some of my weaker areas. By passing this test, I just became Cisco's newest CCNP and CCDP. So do I celebrate by going to Disneyland? No, not yet - got to study for Voice 2.0 Dimitrije Rik Guyler wrote: > Well, I passed BCMSN yesterday and I have to say that the test sucked.

Re: BCMSN - Passed
Congrats! I feel books are a lot more complete than what you can learn with an elearning course. It is only part of what you need to learn. It is in effect ONE tool. Keeping also in mind that ONE book is never enough to learn. It is however sometimes enough to pass an exam but who on this list just want to "pass" an exam. We are here to know the stuff. CCO is in my opinion the best reference out there. It beats books. The drawback is that it provides tons and tons of information and you have to choose what you should read. But all the information is in there somewhere. There are also some good self test that can help you gage and I stress the word GAGE your knowledge in an area. It will help you know if you understand the subject as well as you think you understand it. And like me you are limited while you are studying with the hands-on. Virtual labs are a good tool, if you have the $ to practice. When I first started my Cisco cert. I did not know that it was possible to practice on the internet some of the stuff you learn in the books. I bought a couple of PC Bus cards to be able to practice my routing. It is definitely not enough but that is all I could afford. This list is also a good learning tool. Read, read, and read some more. Try to solve some of these problems that are presented on this list. It is amazing how you can learn. My point is: try to use all the resources available out there. It would be nice to have the LAB but you can learn to a certain level without the expansive lab at home. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > It wasn't prettybut the score was in my favor (715). > Studied using the E-Learning BCMSN course from Cisco. > > Last night I saw a copy of Karen Webb's Cisco Press - > > "Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks" > ISBN 1-57870-093-0 Published May 2000 > > and saw where most of the test questions came from!! > (UpLink Fast not mentioned in E-Learning to my recollection) > > This book costs $60 and the E-Learning (discounted) was $500! > Go figure.

Re: BCMSN Cram
If you only scored 40% on the Boson exam but end up passing the real test, doesn't that mean that the Boson exams are pretty good since it's harder than the real test? I find the Boson exams to be quite helpful if you're out to learn something other than to pass the test. kenneth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > In a message dated 10/1/00 11:28:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > > Hi, > > Does anyone know of any cram books out there for the switching exam? > > Also I haven't got a Switch, is it possible to pass this exam with out > > switching configuration > > Is the boson exam any good for this > > > > Any other Hint/ tip will be appreciated > > > > A.

Don't get me wrong, the tests are a great tool and I've used them for my NA and DA, but I think they weren't up to par for the BCMSN due to it being a fairly new test. The BSCN boson seems to be good though. That is what I am using for my final prep on this test. Your right, it is good for the prac. to be harder than the test but that's not how it was for me. It just felt like the tests were totally off. None of the questions I had on the real test even fell close to the ones on the practice and due to doing so bad on them I felt I was going to fail until that beautiful screen popped up with "CONGRATULATIONS" Ah, what a site.

Re: BCMSN exam
I just finished the test yesterday. Only basic Multicast questions were asked, for example, translate a multicast IP address into a MAC address, what charactristics make Multicast different to Unicast and Broadcast, basic IGMP features. The questions about MLS were also simple, few HSRP questions were asked. Most parts of the exam were about VLAN, Trunking, VTP and STP. I was weak in VLAN since I used Cisco Press BCMSN book which doesn't declare VLAN, and VTP very clearly. I suggest you look for other materials for the VLAN part.

In my opinion it would be beneficial for you to be at least familiar with these before the test.

No, I don't mean it, and I know exactly that the one from CiscoPress is the best. Because I refer the BCMSN to the new test version 2.0. And the previous version would be called CLSC. So there are new things included to BCMSN version 2.0. That's why I think it would be better to wait for the new version rather than buying the old version.

Re: BCMSN Info
You're studying for the wrong exam... the coarse material changed quite a bit from CLSC to BCMSN. You're better off picking up the Cisco Press BCMSN book and study that.

RE: BCMSN MLS
One of my favorite pastimes is to argue with the various authors of the Boson tests about things in the material that is ambiguous or confusing. Those poor guys who wrote the CID practice tests. They're gonna just start deleting my mail without reading it :-> In the case you mention, this is not untypical of the Boson tests. To be fair, it is not untypical of some of the questions on Cisco testes either :-> You can always take advantage of the option to e-mail the author. I have found the writers to be quite willing to clarify things. This does not mean their answer is "right", but at least you'll get a better feel for the reasoning. Besides. In my experience, the Boson authors are pro's, and like to help folks out. Now that I actually have a copy of course material to refer to ( notice how in the Boson correction, much of the answer justification is based on references to course material ) and can look things up, I see a lot of things that are interesting. One of which is that sometimes the course material is a bit dated. Another of which is that sometimes Cisco itself isn't consistent from one exam to the next in terms of what the right answer may be. Another of which is that sometimes even the authors of the quizzes and the supplementary study guides may find themselves a bit amused, not to mention confused, by some of the arbitrariness of some of Cisco's promulgations. Both the books I am reading for CID/CCDP for example, have comments regarding real world vs. test world. I would say that the Boson tests in general, are much like Cisco tests. Count on missing 2-3 questions just because they are poorly worded, or confusing, or flat out wrong. The rest - just get yourself into the Cisco frame of mind.

Regarding Multilayer Switching, how would one define a flow? Cisco Press and http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat5000/rel_4_5/config/m ls.htm#42593 make a flow seem like a stream of packets. However, to have distinction between different types of conversations, ip and port are assessed "A flow is a unidirectional sequence of packets between a particular source and destination that share the same protocol and transport-layer information." Boson asks, "A flow is a stream of segments between any two ip address/port number pairs" or "A flow is a stream of packets between any two IP addresses". The first is asserted as correct. Confusing, even after looking at it so long. Is Cisco using the term packet out of context or is Boson just trying to enforce the granularity of the question? It seems to me that this is a simple concept and should be reworded something like "http and ftp would be treated as TWO seperate flows between an identical pair of hosts." However, is this still a stream of SEGMENTS or PACKETS?

Re: BCMSN: Flow Masks
According to CCIE LAN Switching pag. 479 "The flow mask is used to set the granularity with which the NFFC determines what constitutes a flow" and it (the NFFC) creates shortcuts for each flow. Of course, the MAC address will be the same for any given address no matter what the source address or port number, but if you are using access lists on the router, you wouldn't want your switch to bypass them, so you set a smaller granularity so that each flow corresponds to a flow that has passed your access list. This way the switch won't "route" the wrong packets. Hope this helps. By the way, thank you for the link. Francisco Muniz. **NOTE: New CCNA/CCDA List has been formed.

RE: BCMSN: Flow Masks
Thanks Francisco, but according to the BCMSN book by Karen Webb, page 233 : "Most Cisco documentation explains flow masks as a way to determine how packets are compared to entries in the MLS cache. This is inaccurate. Flow masks are actually used to determine how much information agbout the packet is placed in the MLS cache. The flow mask is not used to compare packets to existing entries in the MLS cache." Furthermore (page 237) "The MLS-SE switches a packet by comparing its destination addresss to what it has in cache. After it has determined that it knows the destination, it switches the packet without ever sending the packet to the MLS-RP. This example shows that there could be a potential security hole with the use of access lists and MLS. The information that is cached for MLS is useful for determining traffic patterns aned accounting. It is not, however, used to compare packets all the way through the Layer 4 information to ensure security." Still confused...

Re: BCMSN: Flow Masks
I read this as well...BUT... The BCMSN book says "Most Cisco Documnetation explains flow masks as a way to determine how packets are compared to entries in the MLS cache. This is inacurate. Flow masks are actually used to determine how much infomration about a packet is placed in the MLS cache. The flow mask is not used to compare packets to existing entries in the MLS cache." The book goes further to explain a security issue where a workstation pings another and creates an entry in the MLS cache. This workstation is then able to establish a FTP session session even though the access lists on the MLS-RP would not have allowed it. The book says "The MLS-SE switches a packet by comparing its destination address to what it has in cache. After it has determined that it knows the destination, it switches the packet without ever sending the packet to the MLS-RP." The book also says the the PFC addresses this issue by allowing the creation of VLAN Access Control Lists. If the statement about a a MLS-SE only looking at the destination address is true, Why must the MLS-SE's flow mask be at least as restrictive as the access list? For example, if the router has an extended access list, the switch must have an IP-Flow mask. Additionally, I don't really understand why MLSP hellos cariies information about VLANs that the routers interfaces route for and it the MLS-SE (without PFC)really does not care about access lists, why they need to be advertised. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Tom Kager **NOTE: New CCNA/CCDA List has been formed.

Can someone clarify this for me? I don't have the book handy, so I can't cover this one. I will say that you will find many more errors in this book. It is a good reference, and will get you though the test, but if ever a book screamed for an errata, its this one. There were a couple of others pointed out by others, so check the groupstudy archives. One bad one is in the exercises for multicast IP-to-MAC translation. > Another issue is on Pg 104 is says original ethernet frames can't exceed > 1518 bytes.

I thought 802.1q inserts it's information into the exsisting > ethernet frame and ISL encapulates it making the size of the frame 1522 > bytes. Can someone also clarify this of me? IIRC, the frame, with the 802.1q tag inserted, is still an ethernet frame, and thus you could get notification on the switch of oversized frames if it exceeds 1518 bytes. However, with the ISL encapsulation, the frame is no longer an ethernet frame, it is an ISL frame, so the size limitation doesn't apply. ---JRE--- _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would suggest the CCxx Productions practice tests (www.ccxxproductions.com) because they cover the same amount if not more than Boson and are much less expensive. I know that people are bias towards Boson on this group, but going the CCxx route would save people a lot of money. I know that everyone doesn't like people pushing products on this group, but I think this is for the best for people trying to get certified.

Fortunately I have access to several 5000 switches here at work so I can get some hands on, however just doing the commands without understanding everything behind them doesn't really teach you anything.

Re: BCMSN Questions - Pls Help
In addition to just getting the "right" answers I would suggest doing some research. Go to www.cisco.com, under Prodcuts and Technologies select Switches. You will be presented with a top level description of Cisco's switch line and many links to explore. Learning HOW to figure out the answers will be important on the job. Right away you see that the 8500 series switch is an ATM switch, so you can throw that one out. The 1900 series is fixed at 24 ports maximum (the two 100 Mbps ports are generally used for uplinks). The question points to a backbone switch solution with the keywords "multiple floors" and the desire to expand to 45 ports. Although there is a 2948 (48 ports) and a 2980 (80 ports) most of the Cisco training literature suggests the use of a Catalyst 5500 (or 6500) as a backbone series switch.

Re: BCMSN Questions - Pls Help
Good point. Although the Test Question World did talk about expanding to 45 people and this idea of expandability and multiple floors point to a backbone switch, IMHO. In the Real World often I have had customer who popluate the Catalyst 5500 (more often a 6500 these days) with GigE and GBICs and run them via fiber to 3548's on each floor. -Jonathan Jim Dixon wrote: > Hi Jonathan, > The question at the end of the description states ACCESS layer as the layer > for which we are to select the switch. > While I don't disagree totally with your assessment of what should be > selected, I think the answer should be 2900 series > just more than one and if the truth be known the 3500 series might fit even > better although IT is not listed as an option. > > Jim > > -Original Message- > From: Jonathan Hays [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2001 9:46 AM > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: BCMSN Questions - Pls Help > > In addition to just getting the "right" answers I would suggest doing some > research.

Re: BCMSN Questions - Pls Help
Giggsy If, your 1st question comes from the BCMSN book. Then the question only says large files not large graphic files. Also, if you read the section choosing cisco products in the 1st chapter where this question is from, you will see it recommends the 1900 series switch for a 50-user LAN. So answer C is right.

RE: BCMSN: Inter VLAN communication
A little bit Scott, but the first scenario shows it without trunking: (this should be viewed with a fixed font) [SWITCH] [ROUTER] [SWITCH] [vlan10]--[ ]--[vlan20] [vlan11]--[ ]--[ ] [vlan12]--[ ]--[ ] This I believe is wrong, since it should only need one physical connection between the router and the second switch (to the right) - like this: [SWITCH] [ROUTER] [SWITCH] [vlan10]--[ ]--[vlan20] [vlan11]--[ ] [ ] [vlan12]--[ ] [ ] The purpose of the router is to route from one network to another, and if you would send data from a workstation on vlan11 to a workstation on vlan20, it should go via the cable connected to the port on the first switch that is assigned to vlan11. In the router it would be routed to vlan20 which should only have one connection from that switch. If you (or anyone else) disagree, please let me know why.

RE: BCMSN: Inter VLAN communication
Hi In the first scenario, the book explains the setup without ISL being configured, and hence each one of the 3 VLANs need a separate link to communicate to VLAN60.

RE: BCMSN: Inter VLAN communication
Maybe I am slow this Friday morning, but I still do not see the light. If we forget about them being three VLAN's on one switch, let's instead say they are three LAN's - one on each switch. You would now connect those three switches to the router with a cable per switch - thus using three cables. On the other side of the router we only had one VLAN, so we just forget about the VLAN and make it a LAN which then only need one switch, and thus only one cable to the router. What we have now is four switches - each in a separate LAN, that are interconnected via the router. If we say that the three LAN's are in building A and the fourth LAN are in building B, and the router we could place in the parking garage. We would now need three cables from the router to building A and one cable from the router to building B. So far, so good. It would make sense to connect the first three switches to each other and separate the LAN's by making VLAN's instead (we are now getting back to the original plot). The switch in building B only has one LAN, so we would only need to make one VLAN over there. Now, why should I suddenly have to run three cables instead of only one between the router and the switch in building B???

RE: BCMSN: Inter VLAN communication
Hi.. Well, I must say I am confused now...The only reason what I could think of that setup depends on the configuration in the router. If in the router, you want to retain the VLAN information then probably we endup with the 3 line setup. Group, clarify this doubt.

RE: BCMSN: VLAN's and Subnets
I have one problem with this scenario: Why did you put VLAN under layer 3 info? As far as I know they are strictly L2 My two cents: Assuming that they have their own servers, and that you are not routing between them then they can have any address that you wish (private). It is like having two LANs. The switches can also be totally separate. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ole Drews Jensen Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 9:48 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: BCMSN: VLAN's and Subnets I have a question about implementing VLAN's in existing LAN's. Let's say that I have one office with stacked switches connecting 100 users to a network with a couple of servers and other good stuff. Layer 2 info: Ethernet, one big broadcast domain Layer 3 info: IP, one full class C : 192.168.16.0 After having analyzed the entire LAN, I find out that 50 users are using resources that the other 50 users are not using, and the same thing the other way around. Instead of splitting the stacked switches up in two separated physical stacks, I now assign the ports for the first 50 users to VLAN 11 and for the rest 50 users VLAN 12. Layer 2 info: Ethernet, two big broadcast domains (not including VLAN1) Layer 3 info: IP, one full class C : 192.168.16.0 I would assume that this would work great as long as noone from VLAN 11 needs any resources from VLAN 12, and the same thing the other way around. Now to my question (which is more a confirmation of my theory): I would only need to split my class C up in subnets if I want Inter-VLAN communication between my VLAN 11 and VLAN 12 right??? Layer 2 info: Ethernet, two big broadcast domains (not including VLAN1) Layer 3 info: IP, VLAN 11 : 192.168.16.64/26, VLAN 12 : 192.168.16.128/26 Do I have the right idea, or am I way off???

RE: BCMSN: VLAN's and Subnets
To add a little twist to that scenario. If for instance in your server block, you place 2 NICs on each machine address them to the different subnets. Plug each NIC onto a port on the switch/switches, and assign those ports to the appropriate VLAN. Theoretically would this allow each of the VLANs to see the "same" resources (servers)? -Original Message- From: Ole Drews Jensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 11:48 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: BCMSN: VLAN's and Subnets I have a question about implementing VLAN's in existing LAN's.
