RE: BCMSN Questions - Pls Help
Q1 should be D - 1900 is too small and only 10MB - not good for LARGE graphic files Q2- check the log -Original Message- From: Giggsy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 January 2001 15:56 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: BCMSN Questions - Pls Help 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.

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.
