How do you display information about IPX routing update packets, if you can use "debug IP igrp transaction"

or "debug IP igrp events" to monitor IP igrp traffic? debug ipx routing activity debug ipx transaction debug routing debug ipx events Answer :A What command would you use to monitor ipx traffic on a network? debug ipx transaction display ipx traffic show ipx events show ipx traffic Answer :D What are the default settings if the "ipx delay number" command allows an administrator to change the default settings? For LAN interfaces, six ticks; for WAN interfaces, one tick For LAN interfaces, one tick; for WAN interfaces, six ticks For LAN interfaces, zero ticks; for WAN interfaces, five ticks For LAN interfaces, five ticks; for WAN interfaces, zero Ticks Answer :B The commands interface Ethernet 0.1 ipx encapsulation and interface Ethernet 0.2 ipx encapsulation, setup the sub-interfaces to allow for two types of encapsulation: Novell-ether ipx network 9e and sap ipx network 6c. What does the "IPX maximum-paths 2 commands accomplish? It sets up routing to go to network 2 It is the default for Cisco IPX load sharing It enables load sharing on 2 paths if the paths are unequal metric paths It enables load sharing on 2 paths if the paths are equal metric paths Answer :D

To find out the names of Novell servers on a network, what command would you use? show ipx hosts show ipx servers show ipx nodes show ipx sap Answer :B A sample configuration follows: ipx Ethernet 0.1 ipx encapsulation Novell-ether ipx network 9e interface and Ethernet 0.2 ipx encapsulation sap ipx network 6c to assign multiple network numbers. By default, Cisco routers forward GNS SAPs to remote networks. True False None of them Both of them Answer :B NLSP (NetWare Link Services Protocol) provides link-state routing; SAP (Service Advertisement Protocol) gives information about network services and NCP i.e. NetWare Core Protocol gives client-to-server connections and applications. RIP is a distance vector routing protocol. What command should you use instead of "debug IP igrp transaction" as a system administrator in order to debug igrp? debug IP iprg event debug IP igrp events debug IP irpg events debug IP igrp summary Answer :B All SAPs can't be filtered even with 4.x since NDS and time synchronization uses SAPs. Cisco routers build SAP tables and forward the table every 60 seconds. The Novell's implementation of RIP updates routing tables every ____ seconds. 90 10 60

30 Answer :C Novell's GNS protocol is used to Get Nearest Server. The respective server then responds if there is a server on the local network. Otherwise, the Cisco router has to be configured to forward the GNS SAP. But, Cisco routers do not forward the SAPs so as to prevent the network from being flooded. How can you service the advertisements to other networks? By broadcasting the service number assigned by the router. By having a SAP table built by every router that is forwarded every 60 seconds. Cisco routers filter out all SAPs. SAPs aren't necessary with Cisco routers. Answer :B As a system administrator, you need to set up one Ethernet interface on the Cisco router to allow for both sap and Novell-ether encapsulations. The default setting is-for LAN interfaces, one tick; for WAN interfaces, six ticks. Which set of commands will accomplish this? interface Ethernet 0 ipx encapsulation Novell-ether ipx network 9e interface Ethernet 0 ipx encapsulation sap ipx network 6c interface Ethernet 0.1 ipx encapsulation Novell-ether ipx network 9e interface Ethernet 0.2 ipx network 6c interface Ethernet 0.1ipx encapsulation Novell-ether ipx network 9e interface Ethernet 0.2 ipx encapsulation sap ipx network 6c interface Ethernet 0.1 ipx encapsulation Novell-ether interface Ethernet 0.2 ipx encapsulation sap Answer :C Which are the two metrics used in the Novell's use of RIP to make routing decisions? Ticks and hops Hops and loops Loops and counts Counts and hops Answer :A

Cisco IOS uses Arpa for which types of encapsulation? Ethernet 802.3 Ethernet 802.2 Ethernet II Ethernet SNAP Answer :C Name the encapsulation type used by Cisco on a serial interface? SDLC SNAP HDLC SAP Answer :C Both the Novell's IPX and Cisco's IOS use different naming conventions for their protocols. For instance, Cisco uses snap for Token-Ring SNAP, Ethernet SNAP, and FDDI_SNAP; sap for Ethernet_802.2, Token-Ring, and Novell's FDDI_802.2. For Ethernet II, Cisco uses arpa. And, the default is Novell-ether for Novell's Ethernet_802.3.15. For which encapsulation types does Cisco make use of "sap"? Ethernet_802.3 Ethernet_802.2 and FDDI_802.2 Token-Ring None of the above Answer :B & C IGRP does not halt RIP. It isolates network 10.0.0.0 and 172.68.7.0 and links independent systems 109 and 71 with IGRP. Both can be used at the same time. What do 109 signify in the command "router igrp 109? Any network number which the router is attached to An autonomous system The network socket number The allowable length of the routing table Answer :B

The "debug IP igrp events" is used to only demonstrate a review of IGRP routing information. To observe only the IGRP updates from a neighbor, you can attach an IP address onto either command. What does "router igrp 71 network 10.0.0.0" and "router igrp 109 network 172.68.7.0" commands carry out? It loads igrp for networks 109 and 71. It disables RIP. It disables all routing protocols. It isolates networks 10.0.0.0 and 172.68.7.0. Answer :D Internetwork Packet Exchange i.e. IPX is a NetWare network layer 3 protocol. With the help of this protocol you can transfer the data on LANs. State the Netware protocol which is used for providing link-state routing? RIP NLSP NCP SAP Answer :B NetWare IPX addressing uses a network number and a node number. The earlier default encapsulation on Cisco routers was 802.3. Later on the encapsulation defaulted to 802.2 and 3.11. Then it again defaulted to Novell Ethernet_802.3 and NetWare 3.12. Which of the following options are correct? The network address is administratively assigned and can be up to 16 hexadecimal digits long If the MAC address is used as the node address, then IPX does not eliminate the use of ARP The node address is not always administratively assigned The node address is usually the MAC address Answer :A If you are a system administrator on a NetWare network and you are running NetWare 4.11 and you cannot communicate with your router, then what is the probable difficulty? Hint: Ethernet 802.3 is used with NetWare versions 2 through 3.11; Ethernet 802.2 is used with NetWare 3.12 and afterward with OSI routing. Also, Ethernet II is used with TCP/IP and DEC net, and Ethernet SNAP is used with

TCP/IP and AppleTalk. Cisco routers only work with NetWare 3.11 NetWare 3.11 defaults to 802.2 encapsulation NetWare 4.11 defaults to 802.2 encapsulation NetWare 4.11 defaults to 802.3 encapsulation Answer :C To display routing timers and network information we use "show IP protocol" and to display the routing table with information about all known networks and subnetworks we make use of "show IP route".
