VTP Configuration Sim

thanks, nice of you to build for to practice

Thank you for posting this. I failed the ICND2 twice and had this lab each time. I knew I was close, but the “management IP” part kinda threw me at first. Thank you for this site, it’s invaluable!

is part of the answer on the lab sims testing the config change? such as pinging ? I did not test…just copy run start

Why is it that when I enter ip address192.168.22.62 , I get a error stating incomplete command?

Ok, it is missing the subnet. Is the correct subnet mask for this 255.255.255.224 ?

Can someone explain what a “management subnet” is, i know what a subnet is, but not management subnet ?

A management subnet, is a subnet that includes the IP address of the switch so that you are able to make your configuration changes using SSH or telnet. Usually this subnet will be on VLAN1. (Examples are 192.168.1.1 or 10.1.1.1)

Guys be careful with the ICND2 and CCNA questions Cisco has started changing the questions, the above question is a valid Lab with ICND2 but not if you are taking CCNA straight, only about 5 questions came from dumps all the rest are new and they expect you to know your stuff.
Multiple choice will link about two or three technologies together.
Special thanks to 9tut because you helped me learn harder every time i came to your website.
I passed ICND2 last week and got my CCNA, CCNP here i come.

Good Luck to all.

Also what i noticed was that a single question might be asked based on output from 2 or 3 different technologies but the answer will be determined from only one part.
Example you might see output from f-relay and EIGRP but the correct answer choice will be determined from only the f-relay out or vice versa.

This to me has become a pure weed-out test because you have to know your theory and your configuration to pass this test.

IPV6 questions where also strong.

Good Luck again.

I am taking my ICND2 exam soon. @none: In your opinion do you see a good dump that might help study for the exam?

I’ve been waiting for someone to post this Sim. It caught me by surprise in the exam.
I remember the gist but couldn’t remember exactly what the question was. I came out with my brain feeling like mush.
In the exam I finally worked out what they wanted but I took too much time working it out. It seems easy now outside the exam.
Once I got the config done, I couldn’t ping the other devices and no vlans showed up. I took more time trying to work out what I had did wrong.
I had to leave it in the end.
This put under more pressure for the remaining questions.

I was under stress from the start of the exam as I thought that the exam was 90 minutes and found when I started it was 75.
The first 20 questions seemed like they were from another exam. I thought I was in the wrong one and wanted to walk out.
I was so unsure of my answers that I could not go in again and assume that I would get the same mark or higher.
I failed by, from what I worked out, one answer, so I was gutted, but at the same time my mark was higher than I expected.
I had nine minutes to do the last 10 questions. ONly 6 of these questions (out of the whole exam) were in any of the prep questions I had used in prep.
I did a lot of different product test questions. Over 1600 questions. I split them up into exams of 50 questions.
I was getting 98-100%, on all the test exams. I would study the questions I got wrong.
I was confident going in but there were a lot of questions that I couldn’t answer with confidence.
I have since found answers in Wendal Odoms material and CCNP material which has annoyed me.
I went to an official Cisco course for $3000+ did months of study and learned the official study material well
– still there were questions that I had never come across. I wish I could remember them to help you out.
I think the problem was that the official material had what the technologies had and could do. The questions in the exam went in the direction of what the technologies couldn’t do, and I wasn’t sure of the correct answer as the options were very similar.
Wendalls material explains what the tech’s can’t do.
So I would suggest you get a copy and read it before sitting the exam.

@J Dog

Know your frame relay, EIGRP, OSPF (DR, BUDR) theory and the basic show commands of them because you will get alot of combined output from them and asked to inteprete.

Also RSTP, BPDU GAURD, Know how to choose the root, R-PORT, BLOCKING PORT and forwarding ports.

There was a question about what kind of device is giving out an output, it did not say which command produced it.

In my opinion and what helped me with the theory was the Wendell Odom book even though it is very technical and dry it has the information for almost 80% of the exam.
Wendells book has small sections called “key points” and important commands at the end of every chapter, pay attention to those and you will be ok.

Also i heard CISCO is getting ready to change the whole ccna setup so as to fight dumps.

Thanks none & CCN..Eh?, I am taking my exam tomorrow. I read Wendell Odom’s book and it has helped me incredibly. I hope to God that I do well. I will let everyone know tomorrow.

hi , i`m going to take my CCNA exam on coming thursday ,, could any one tell me what are all the sim ask ? n one more doubt , whether they are asking same qustions resides in 9tut.com ?

what type of troubleshoot is asking ?

Took ICND2 today and this SIM was there. Different IP addresses and it said “for the switch host address, you should use the first available IP address on the management subnet” which easy to figure out.

I did it today !!!
Score – 919. It was just one Sim which I had to configure, this one.
Guys, you have to study all available material really hard. It was really tough exam. I was almost out of time. I used CBT Nuggets video course and this website to prepare.
Good luck to everyone !

WOW…this is very helpful, i failed my icnd2 2wice,got 650 AND 744, this question was in both of them, with the first exam, it totally lost me, i was able to configure the client and domain name but could not figure out the router ip address and the vlan command gave me an error, and i thought there it must have been the ios version that dint allow this command….

i read through all the comments and they are accurate, taking my exam on the 2nd of feb..m going to ace it..

Hey guys, I just took the test today (unfortunately failed) and i had this question on it everything was just like this, except it told me to use the first available ip address instead of the last on the management subnet. This is very good practice, in the test i did this question with everything right except for the ping, i might have configured the ip address wrong… I just couldnt ping across the network. oh well, just going to study harder and pass it next time. thank you 9tut for the practice.

By the way the “Actual Test” dump is very up to date, i studied all of the questions on it and all of the questions on the test where on the dump. my score was a 785 by the way.

anyways, good luck to everyone

@All… be sure to join us here: https://www.9tut.net/icnd2/share-your-icnd2-experience Note, if you go back a page of the comments you will find great dumps from current software vendors covering the ICND2 questions.

Took the test today. Scored 959/100 Got this simulation. 9tut ROCKS!!!

I took my test last sunday and failed 811 points. I had this sim. I put the wrong ip and I realized I did. I just went and put the right one. I wonder if they penalize you for putting the wrong ip the first time around. I could not do a write erase, thinking back I should have seen if it was possible to do a copy start run. I retake this sunday, I discovered the new actual test dump and it had all the test questions I had in the first 40 questions of the dump.

Got this sim today (passed the exam and got this right). The exam started with 3 (yes 3!!) questions about IPv6. Couldn’t believe it (grr…)

Passed the test recently with 919/1000. I want to add that this was on the test and the only thing that tends to change with this Sim is addresses, particularly the the one you assign the new switch. Sometimes they will ask for the first or the last in the management range. I offer words of encouragement to know your subnetting and when you do the #show run and see that the first two IPs are taken by the default and the switch “already configured” the next one to use is the third availiable IP address and the subnet and you should input it with confidence :). I did and got a 100% on the VLAN section. Enjoy your nerve racking experience in the test room 🙂

Just passed the 816 with a 878 and the VTP sim was on the test just like the one here. But that the numbers are different. KNOW THE PROCESS!!

Hi guys, where can I find this lab file ? thanks to all

Do you have labs from CCNP routing or Switching please??

@nexttoicnd2, @Mr Ekko: Please visit http://www.digitaltut.com & http://www.certprepare.com for CCNP ROUTE & SWITCH

I was today on ICND2, which I failed I had 800(802 or 798 or something like that)/1000 while 823 is for pass. This was on it, exactly the same. Unfortunately I didn’t know about this site before…

Dave what SIM was on the exam?

Never mind Dave .. I am in the process of studying for the exam too.. maybe in 3 weeks. I am using CBT nugget , cisco press and VCE lots of them

Dear Friends, I am CCNA since 2 hours
Thanks 9tut and special many thanks to Hmeister (You are great), the VCE is still valid 80-85%, I got (I think) 4 new questions, 2 easy and 2 hard, one of them was a new Drag & Drop as below (Not Exactly):
access-list 100 deny tcp 192.168.4.0 0.0.3.255 any eq http
access-list 100 permit ip any any
Which one is denied and which one permitted (Of Course Drag & Drop):
Source IP: 192.168.7.41 Destination port: 80
Source IP: 192.168.8.240 Destination port: 80
Source IP: 192.168.5.112 Destination port: 53
Source IP: 192.168.6.10 Destination port: 23
Source IP: 192.168.3.74 Destination port: 80
Source IP: 192.168.4.41 Destination port: 80
Just excuse me I forgot the exact numbers.
Another question again Drag & Drop:
There are 2 switches and 1 router with 2 ports, you must choose when to put the (ip nat inside) and when to put the (ip nat outside).
These 2 were the easy new questions.
Unfortunately I don’t remember the 2 new hard questions, so sorry.
I got the sims that you should use frame-relay map and show running, it is here the second one: http://www.9tut.com/ccna-hotspot-questions
The other sims was: the VTP config here: https://www.9tut.net/icnd2/icnd2-labsim/vtp-configuration-sim
building_1 IP was 192.168.80.34 255.255.255.224
building_1 default gateway was: 192.168.80.33
So, as you may noticed the first usable IP in this subnet 192.168.80.33 is reserved for the default gateway and as 192.168.80.34 is for building_1 IP, so you should choose 192.168.80.35 255.255.255.224, It was a little bit confusing.

I am going for 640-802 on Fri 4/22, am I facing a brand new exam from last year’s? Have the SIMs changed?
What to pay attention to?
Thanks

Hey just passed my exam and had this sim, have worked with cisco for 5 years now so am quite confident in ip addressing and general commands.
Confident i configured everything as requested and correctly but the ports were in a down down state, has anyone been able to get them in a up up state and ping?

I took the ICND2 today. Missed passing by 2 questions 😛 But the VTP SIM was exactly like Yousef stated above. Don’t get fooled by this little gotcha!

So, as you may noticed the first usable IP in this subnet 192.168.80.33 is reserved for the default gateway and as 192.168.80.34 is for building_1 IP, so you should choose 192.168.80.35 255.255.255.224, It was a little bit confusing.

The IPs were correct it was my last but 1 question and had 10 mins left so did double even treble check things.

Just want to know if anyone got them in the up up state.

If you configure it correctly and they dont come up up then they should ammend it as people could waste time on the question thinking theyve config it wrong

I also found interfaces were down/down and could not get them to come up. Wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to fix it. Eventually left the question. Barely finished. Rushed the rest of the way and barely failed. Really made me mad because I had to rush. I could ping the default gateway, but interfaces were still down / down. Did eventually get them up / down. Couldn’t get layer 2 up.

I had this question on friday. reviewing this site i forgot to do a “no shut” on the vlan (If needed). Although i saved the configs on both switches, and did a sh run, I must have missed it. i was able to ping between both switches. So thats why i thought i answered it correctly and moved on. It was not that hard to figure out what they wanted. KNOW YOUR STUFF. This was not on Pass4sure so its gotta be new. Need access to recent actual test. anyone know where to find? Did not pass-776.

can anyone confirm if getting the interfaces in a up/up status is key to this simulation at all? notice that the question does NOT indicate that it wishes for anything about full convergence of vtp advertisements. If Cisco wants the candidates to do this then they should state so, otherwise the test taker could be fooled into believing that something is wrong with the simulation or it is somthing that Cisco is specifically testing on?

The actual troubleshooting of getting interface vlan 1 in an up/up status should just be (config-if)# no shut on the vlan1 interface

there isn’t anything else that you can do given that interface vlan1 is NOT a physical interface; it does not use the concepts of Full-duplex or Speed settings like an access or trunk interface has. nor does it follow any kind of trunking or access port rules like physical ports, its basically a placeholder for device configuration…. that is it.

go ahead and try running a: show interfaces vlan1 Notice… no Duplex settings or speed settings….

There is nothing within the CCNA curriculum that goes beyond turning on the Interface.

if the test takers are docked points for a down/down int vlan1 even though you configured that no shutdown command than I would contest it; because that’s bullshit

Hi everyone
I need to run these lab questions on packet tracer please help me where are the sources?

Hey guys. Had this question today and It asked for the first available host on the subnet but the first available host was already used by switch 1’s management vlan.

@weird

Well then it probably means to use the second IP address since that would technically be the “first” available. That’s how I interpret your comment at least.

@weird

I had the same question today with the same parameters. I used the third IP address in the subnet because it was the first AVAILABLE. The first IP in the subnet was assigned to the router (default-gateway) and the second IP was assigned to the building 1 switch. So the first available was the third IP address.

@NN I think I had the exact same question as you. .33 gateway .34 switch1 and I used .35 for switch2 as the first available. I also notice vlan1 is down/down on both switches.

Passed yesterday,had this sim,exactly the same IP’s as what NN and Weird had(default gateway 33,Switch1 34,1st available 35).

some one please help with my query where can i get these sims to work with packet tracer

Got this SIM yesterday. I configured it correctly except forgot to do a “no shutdown”.

Got this sim yesterday, no problem thanks to 9tut.
Did the test ping afterwards to confirm the connection.
Not sure if this gives you extra points but it makes you feel better knowing that it works!

I failed the icnd2 test on 6/3 by 35 points. This sim was on it. I will be going back for another attempt soon. Thanks for your help.

OK, dumb question, but when I go to the sim on packet tracer, how do I get to the console command line interface on building 1 to start practicing this? There is no console attached.

click on the tab named “CLI” (top of the window) to access the Command Line Interface of the selected device.
welcome to the cisco world gavin, thanks for asking, good luck studying

Explain, please, how VTP Pruning algorithm works. I did not find anything about this…

2xallax
thnx a lot

Hey guys I passed ICDN2 today with score 902/1000 ! The most stressful test for me ever ! Some new questions (I will post here) but 70% is from this site and Xallax exams ! VTP sim from this site (ICND2 section) Thanks everyone who helped me especially xallax ! I promise that I will help everyone who is going to take exam in future ! Now I’m CCNA ! 2 months relaxing and on to CCNP Route !

Can anyone comment further on the interfaces being down?? thanks

@dinesh
try downloading the newest version of the Packet Tracer, it worked for me, wish you luck…

@McB
can you plz tell me where i can find newesrt version, atleast tel me verson number please, currently im usin 5.1

I had this question twice now. The first time I didn’t have time to complete the answer. The second time the commands were not working, however. VLAN 1 was administrately down. The no shut command from the vlan 1 interface context did not work. Further, there was no ip address command from the vlan 1 interface context.

Is there any other way to do this or was the test broken?

This Question came two days ago.. Too bad could not clear the exam.. Questions where really bigger ones when compared to more of objective ICND 1..

Best of Luck..

you really need them.. 🙂

Hi Guys,

Did anyone else have trouble opening the pkt file in packet tracer, I keep getting a runtime error??

Hi All,

I scrolled through the comments and saw that I did not have the latest revision of PT, I have it now and it works!

failed with 804

same sim but done correctly i just cross checked

what the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this question do we need to configure the trunk links for F0/23 and f0/24.

I believe this is what I missed last time.

yousef !

the question I had asked to use the last usable IP.

Cheers

Yousef
Congrats!!!
I am off my firewall project and am ramping back up…
Xallax has kicked up the VCE to Hyperdrive and I am going through it again along with the 9tut sims. (Thanks Xallax)

@Hmeister just doing my part

PASSED 930 .. This was the first question i got on the test and some of the regular questions on here were on the test, but still you have to study your guides and know your stuff..good luck all!!!

Hey guys. Completed my exam today,missed by a bit. I got the same VTP config sim question as given in the site but i couldnt access the building_2 ( admin_2 in the real sim). instead i was getting a “Router1>” prompt instead of “building_2>”. The question did mention router configuration is not possible. I tried all commands on the damn router prompt but kept getting invalid comment or command prompt. I wanna know if ther’s a way to get from router1 to building_2 config(i dont think its possible) or was there a glitch. If so how do i report it. Please reply. THANK U

@Dead_Man_Walking: There is no way to access building_2 from router1. The only way is to click on the host connected to building_2. In this lab both building_1 & building_2 must be accessible.

@9tut
hi i cleared ccna exam today….. u guys are rockin …….9tut is the best…….. thank you so much… i score 973………..

I’m not sure if I did something wrong or if there was actually info missing. On the exam the switches were name floor_5 and floor_7 (I think those were the numbers). With floor_5 (building_1 in above picture) I did #show running-config and neither the default gateway nor the ip address was shown. #show vtp status worked correctly. Did I miss something or is this really an error on the exam? =[

Just to be sure I had the switches right I did show run on the floor_7 switch and it was an invalid command for the exam on that switch.

To add onto the VTP sim problem with show run, I also had the frame relay sim listed in the CCNA Hotspot and the show run for that question did not provide information to answer the questions correctly. Am I have a brain fart with what show command would also show this information??? Show frame-relay map worked properly.

Sorry, third post. For the frame relay the show run output listed router’s names and they all had passwords but the questions asked which router requires a password. Maybe I missed something above saying ‘PPP encapsulation’ although the output looked nothing like the output in the example. Individual serial interfaces were not listed. Did I have to look under all the interface separately? This sim showed up after the VTP and I was running out of time.

This question was there for my exam… on 28th July…

I just added your website on my blogroll. Really enjoyed reading through. Excellent information!

This was on my exam on Aug 8th…

Excellent !!!!!!!!!!keep it up.

Thanks & Regrds,
Hitesh

Just got done with exam. this was on it.
Score 100 on it.
Asked to use the first useable IP.

VTP domain: west_valley
BD1: IP: 192.168.1.98
BD2: I had to configure 192.168.1.99 255.255.255.224
default-Gateway: 192.168.1.97

“This article actually answered my problem, thanks a lot!”

Just passed the exam, barely!

Almost run out of time, make sure you are very familiar with configuring switches. This question took a lot of time for me to configure, finally was only able to configure the default-gateway. was not able to configure and answer all of it. Am glad I move to the next question. Good luck guys, thank you 9tut. =)

Had this question on 090211 icnd2 exam

This was on the exam the last two times I’ve taken it. Failed the first with 776 and the second time with an 804. Will retake next week again.

Gah I probably failed because I forgot to do the “no shut” on int vlan 1.

I really really hope not or I will rage.

guys this sim was on my exam yesterday .it was the last question and I barely finished because i had only 3 minutes left so i only managed to change the vtp domain and vtp mode to client.i ran out of time when i was suppose to assign the management subnet and the default gateway, wud have scored 920 aniwhere im glad i passed and 10x to 9tut, read,practise and understand the sims fellows.

Hey guys,

Have a look at http://www.remote-lab.net for a free Cisco remote lab.

This was on my test on 09/12. Retaking tomorrow and I hope I see it again!

^ I failed with an 818 first time, needed 825 (shit)

Got this sim. The difference was use the first available IP Address on the management subnet. It was .32/27. The problem I had was .33 was the default-gateway. Looking back, I should have used .35 (.34 was the building 1 address). I used .33 both on the switch ip address and default gateway. Took me 10 minutes to solve this sim just because of that.

The question states: For the switch host address, you should use the last available IP address on the management subnet……

But what is the management subnet? do I have to care? it seems as it is different than the others, but as it seems it isn’t that we have to care. What do you say ???

in the real exam how do i access the devices like the switches( building_1 or building_2 ) to enter the configuration commands, is that i only duple click on the device that i want to configure and choose CLI or what ?

Nice site. It’s really awesome.

Hi brothers, I am very happy pass yesteraday with very good marks,
ready to get the tips
q. in exam————VTP —subnet was /27 and ask me the first available address, 97, 98 was already used so I used 99 also tip is to use running-config for both sw and compare if any mistake correct it because this sim is very easy only need concentration,
another was in hot spot I got Fram-relay,
2nd ospf , hello, router ID,—–, there was two 2 drag&drop from actual test but 3rd was tricky like that
access-list 1 deny 192.168.12.1 0.0.3.255 and I have to drag the ip address and drop in permit and deny list—– tip is watch the subnet 192.168.12.1 to 192.168.15.254 will be in this subnet will be deny rest will be permit…
the ans you know already give answer right a way, spend about a minute or bit more for the answer you do not know .
my vtp at the end of exam
…………………Enjoy your exam and be confident and be patients…………GOOD LUCK ——BYE

hello … Where do I download the file packet tracer to run the setup?

http://www.certprepare.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1664

By the grace of Almighty I have passed ICND2 exam today and I’m now a CCNA qualified.

VTP sim from https://www.9tut.net/icnd2/icnd2-labsim/vtp-configuration-sim#more-129 appeared in the exam with different ip sequence.

Thank you 9tut.com for being a part in my certification.

I recenetly took the ICDN 2 test and was lucky enough to get this exact question. The info presented here is acurate however when I ran show running-config it would not accept the command. This isnt my first pony show but this one irritated the crap out of me.

This question was on the ICND2 today.

this question was in icdn2 today

This question appeared on the ICND2 for me

Had this SIM on the test. 10/31/11. SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG DOES NOT WORK!!!!
