Don't sweat it, it is not on the exam at all. I think it used to appear on
the ver 1 exam but it is definitely not on this one.

I would say if you are looking for a book and you have have one week to go, 
you should reschedule the exam. I used course notes to pass this exam.

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.

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. A great book

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

Re: BCMSN - ATM?

2001-01-22 Thread Edward Solomon

There is no ATM requirement in either the BCMSN course or in the Switching
2.0 exam. However, I would strongly recommend any network engineer worth his
salt to know about ATM, LANE and MPOA.

Nope. Not in the course, not on the test, not required knowledge for CCNP.
There is a BCMSN course material appendix that includes ATM commands (in the
second book), but you don't need to know any of that for the test.

Good luck!

Re: BCMSN - Passed

2000-09-21 Thread Daniel Boutet

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.

A. Use the Corialis Switching Exam Cram...This book is awesome.

Access to a switch would be a great help though.

Then I would try the boson, score about 40%, and get so discouraged and down

Re: BCMSN Cram

2000-10-01 Thread Kenneth Lorenzo

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.

Partly true. 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.

Once again, My 0.2 cents...I guess that makes it 0.4 now  ;)

Its not like they are throwing complex multicast configs and whatnot at
you.  Know the differences between different multicast types (pim sparse,
pim dense, pim sparse-dense)know how to formulate multicast MAC
addresses from multicast ip addresses.  Know how CGMP worksknow
the facts about IGMPv1 and IGMPv2just stuff along those
linesfactual information about multicastthe ciscopress
book covers it nicely.

Re: BCMSN exam

2000-10-08 Thread Victor Jia

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.  I didn't have any direct questions referring to 
them, but there were some answer options that you can eliminate because you 
know they're talking about ATM or FDDI.

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could tell me how indepth we need to know the
material in the Cisco press book of BCMSN?  When I was studying for my

the Cisco Press book for CCNA and it was really indepth..I was wondering
if this is the case for the BCMSN book?  Like would we need to know the

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. It's only my oppinion concerning this, and I am
just wondering if there are significant changes in CCNP version 2.0?

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

I just got finished with BCMSN.  66 questions in 90 minutes.  At least 1/3
of the questions were very close to each other.  I got an 846 out of 1000
with a 699 needed to pass.  My worst section was CGMP, so know that.  The
sections listed on the scoring part of the test are:

CGMP
Cisco Fundamentals
Multicast
Multilayer Switching
Spanning Tree
Switching Interconnectivity
Troubleshooting
Trunking
VLAN Operations.


I really thought that this was an easier test then the CCNA exam.  I'll
answer questions to the extent that I can without breaking the NDA.

RE: BCMSN MLS

2000-07-02 Thread Chuck Larrieu

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.

Best wishes,

Chuck

Boson has me confused.  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 - exam question

2001-03-20 Thread Charlie Hartwell

I'm not sure if you have been on the BCMSN course (I hope you have if
you have a copy of the notes!) but that was certainly sufficient for
me. Of all of the CCNP exams, the BCMSN fitted the course notes the
best.
It's difficult when people ask questions like this because we don't
know how much experience they have, you could have been designing and
installing Catalyst based LAN solutions for years.

Re: BCMSN - exam question

2001-03-21 Thread ciscosis

Thanks for the advice  Charlie,

I have attended the Course and have some experience of designing/supporting
smaller cisco campus networks
What worried me was that when I read the Exam outline /prep guide on the
cisco web site, it said that ATM and LANE would be covered in the exam. I
don't remember covering these in the course except for a very brief
mention of the various trunking standards used.  I expect that's why it was
mentioned in the outline but I wanted to be sure

Thanks again

Re: BCMSN: Flow Masks

2000-09-25 Thread Francisco Muniz

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.

If you have an extended access-list setup it might be needing more info than
just the destination IP address.   You may be filtering on a source address
or something.  This is why your flow would change.

RE: BCMSN: Flow Masks

2000-09-25 Thread Ole Drews Jensen

I know Cory, but it still only checks on the destination address. If an
extended access list has been configured to allow ping only, once a ping has
been made, an entry has been created in the MLS cache, and from there on the
access list is not worth anything, because the MLS-SE will allow anything
through directly to the destination, because the extended access list which
is at the MLS-RP doesn't see anymore data to that destination.

I'm a bit confused here.

Ole,

Wow, you don't miss anything.Your right.  I remember discussion about
this before.  I think the answer was, that is a big hole with the security
so unless you setup your access list to deny everything from that source
altogether than the only way to get around it is to disable the fast
switching.   I think it was Prescilla that was talking about this a while
back...

RE: BCMSN: Flow Masks

2000-09-25 Thread Ole Drews Jensen

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

2000-09-25 Thread TKager

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.

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.

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.

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.
Most of us have already spent a fortune getting certified. Every little bit
saved helps.

However I've found it very hard to follow. It I have to go back and read and reread portions sometimes. 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. If this book had more examples it would be better. I guess it all depends on how you learn.

Hi Everybody,


Can anybody recommend any good study material for the BCMSN exam.
I have heard that the CCNP Switching Exam Prep from
Sean Odom is very good. Can anybody confirm this ?


I would really appreciate any feedback.

the CIT is still valid, and also the CID.

Hi

While i am preparing for my Switching 2.0 Exam, i encounter the following 2
questions while i do the pracice exams which have different answers. Would
appreciate if someone could enlighten me what should be the CORRECT answer.

Question 1
==
The ACME company is a small manufacturing company that wants to interconnect
users on multiple floors in the same building. To date, the company has only
15 employees but plans to triple in number in the next year. Users require
access to large graphic files on the workgroup servers. What is the most
appropriate device for the access layer?

A. Catalyst 8500 series switch
B. Catalyst 5500 series switch with an internal RSM
C. Catalyst 1900 series switch with 10 BaseT ports
D. Catalyst 2900 series switch with 100 BaseTX ports

COLT said that the answer should be D BUT the course book's answer is C. So
which one should it be???

Question 2
===
how to find out what error messages were being sent to the other out-bands
besides the console port.

So what is the answer for this?


Hope someone can help. Thanks

Seriously, what do you think is the best answer?  Why? Why not?

Knowing which test answer is "right" is less important than knowing 
how the answer is determined.

Have you looked at the dates of both and thought that both might be 
correct, reflecting switch pricing at the time of publication?

Re: BCMSN Questions - Pls Help

2001-01-02 Thread Jonathan Hays

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.

Re: BCMSN Questions - Pls Help

2001-01-03 Thread Shabbir S. Talib

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.

On the first switch, there are 3 VLANs that are configured to go to 3
interfaces on the first router and on the 2nd switch, it could be using ISL
or 802.1q trunking to a second router. You don't need 3 separate interfaces
when you are doing trunking as long as the switch and the router can do ISL
or 802.1q or whatever proprietary protocol you want to use for trunking,
both have to speak the same trunking language.

Does that clear it up a little?

RE: BCMSN: Inter VLAN communication

2000-09-15 Thread Ole Drews Jensen

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.

Thanks,

Ole

2000-09-15 Thread Dinesh B

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. Only when ISL is configured , your argument holds
good.

Hope this clears your doubt.

RE: BCMSN: Inter VLAN communication

2000-09-15 Thread Ole Drews Jensen

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???

Thanks for your comments (and time) on this,

Ole

RE: BCMSN: Inter VLAN communication

2000-09-15 Thread Dinesh B

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.

Looks good to me, however if you are planning to use inter-VLan routing you
might want to make sure that the protocol you select can handle VLSM.

RE: BCMSN: VLAN's and Subnets

2000-09-20 Thread Daniel Boutet1

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.

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???

Thanks for your comments on this.

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)?
