John/Priscilla/Robert, Thanks for the replies and yes I am reading the 640-503 book by Clare Gough. I've already gone through the Sybex one by Todd Lammel which I didn't enjoy (s many mistakes in it). Thank you for clearing up some of my confusion and I'm quite pleased to discover it wasn't j

My guess is that you're using the 640-504 study guide by Clare Gough, Cisco Press. I am also using this book as a study guide and have been very confused by her use of these terms. Remember that this book is a bit older than the current criteria, so when she was actually penning it the informatio

Yep, EIGRP does it by default. I *really* wish they'd make 'no auto-summary' the default for both EIGRP and BGP. It makes no sense to me to leave summarization on by default. I don't know how many times I've been working a lab scenario and said "Doh! Forgot to turn off summarization!" :-) Joh

Good translation, but is it even true about EIGRP? IGRP yes, but EIGRP? Just checking. When a book is so clueless to still refer to the Network Information Center, I have to question other things too. ;-) Priscilla John Neiberger wrote: > > Hmm...okay. How old is this book? They are using 'Net

Hmm...okay. How old is this book? They are using 'Network boundary' to refer to the classful major network supernet. I'm still confused by their use of NIC number and that's because they are NOT referring to the Network Interface Card like most of us would expect. They appear to be referring to

Hi John, I always thought of the NIC number as the MAC address of a Network card! Here are a couple of quotes from the Cisco Press book I am reading to show the context in which they use the terms: "BGP-4 and EIGRP summarizes at the network boundary automatically. Summarization within the NIC nu

I've never heard of NIC Number or NIC Network Number so I have no idea what they're talking about. In the first instance, perhaps they're referring to the MAC address. In the second instance, perhaps they're referring to the IP address associated with the NIC. These are just guesses, though. I

I suppose some of you might recall what it was like trying to study on new technolgies as I am now for the BSCI CCNP exam. I am beginning to get confused with some of the terminology used by the different books and was hoping one of you might spare a second to provide a concise definition of the f
