Share your ICND2 Experience

I need Help from all of you guys, Please could you tell me which one the correct answer for Question number 4 http://www.9tut.com/ccna-hotspot-questions {hotspot frame-relay QUESTION}.
I ask anyone took the test, what their answer ? , and why ? If no password is required
Please help me and thank for all of you.

you want someone from the internet (non-private address) to access a local server (private address). NAT is the solution

Good Morning!!!
Pass my ICND2/CCNA saturday with just below 900. I had VTP and Frame-relay sim. exam was much harder than i thought. i wrote coupe of weeks before but fail for 3 qustion. 2nd exam was harder than 1st one. As every one write in here understand the question instated memorised it. thats true! A lots of question was twisted i was very confused. middle of the exam i give up hope and thought io will be fail again but did not. thanks god.
i have couples of IPV6 question and about 60% from xallax & 9tut. thank both of u and keep doing good work. by the way i wrote exam in uk (london).
i guess i need a exprience before heading to CCNP but hard to get a job. hopefully i will get one soon. guys pray for me.

@xallax
any plan for making ccnp vce.

keep update date mate.

and thanks to every for ur imput. all of the comment and explanation help me understand different topic.

@nic
Please could you tell me which one the correct answer for Question number 4 http://www.9tut.com/ccna-hotspot-questions {hotspot frame-relay QUESTION}.

to understand frame relay please read explanation and comment on hotspot. on my frame-relay my answer was console. its was was written on top of the show running-config output.

@Nic
Thank you , Are you remember any other Questions?

Hello As6ar, how did your exam go yesterday?
I hope you passed!
Regards

spainvasion

sorry busy with office work..!! apologize
Didn’t dream but Yes yes i made 916/1000, i had 43q but most of them were from xallax vce 1.0943 100% valid..!! rest from 9tut site, i had VTP SIM same as shown Building 1 and 2, and Frame relay Muliticore, not Dubai on…!! most of the question from OSFP concepts, few new question on Nat i don’t remember correctly,, last word for test-takers “Concepts is VERY VERY IMPORTANT to know, As i remember only 5 question on benefit of doubt rest … cool lastly special Thankful to
9TUT site is great…. whom so ever is responsible truly appreciated work..!
xallax is a legend
Thanks for all who helped me

spainvasion study well and make it happen, more or less this site is GREAT..
Thanks 9TUT Without you it would been so easy for me .. for me its like dream come true , my Next Dream is CCNP (switch)

wish i had the money to go for the exam… anyways, im glad you find that vce file helpful.

congratulations on becoming CCNA!

Thanks! 9tut&Xallax.This morning ICND 2 958/1000 60Mins used xallax vce 90%valid.VTP SIM,Fram-relay SIM,OSPF SIM(exactly same from 9tut).vce + 9tut =PASS!!!

Passed ICND2 today with 940+. Exam was quite hard, and without 9tut.com I am not sure if I would have passed it. I didn’t memorize sims, but 9tut gave me some understanding about how sims are constructed in ICND2. I had alot of VTP, ACL and routing questions. Some OSPF and FR. Even RIPv2 🙂

My advise for future exam takers: really try to understand how STP, VTP, ACL, OSPF, EIGRP, FR work, and I mean it…really try to understand it using GNS3 or Packet Tracer. Do various show commands and try to understand every output you see.

Failed test today due to computer freezing at halfway point and proctor being unhelpful. I am bummed and don’t know how to fight this. Does anyone have any insight on this?

@Breezy: I think the testing center where you took your exam, and where their computer froze, should refund you – aka pay you for your next try (although I would seriously consider about going to different testing center)

pearson vue is really good about making things right, it may take a week but in the end you will get another voucher. you just have to make a dispute. call them make noise and complain.

Just passed the ICND 2 today 902/1000 thank 9tut and xallax

Had a few drag and drop the VTP sim and question on ACL, NAT, FR, VLAN, VTP,OSPF and EIGRP

Like everyone says make sure you know the concept VERY IMPORTANT!

Passed test today with 920 🙂 Just like JA, I was pretty sure I had bombed the test when I finished because the majority of the questions seemed really hard.

Surprised to only see 2 IPv6 questions, 1 frame_relay question and no VPN questions on test. Saw a ton of questions from 9tut on the exam. Test mostly about EIGRP, OSPF, ACL, NAT, VTP and STP. I have to agree with others…seeing the questions first is great, but if you only memorize and don’t know the concept you will be toast.

study materials: packet tracer (best investment ever), CCNA ICND2 by Odom, CCNA by Lammle, and of course 9tut!

on the erase board I write the following before I start:

128 192 224 240 248 252 254 255 (subnets)
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 (block size)
2 4 8 16 32 64 128 x (number of subnets)

Knowing your subnetting (specifically block sizes) is key to saving time on a lot of questions.

I think I’m going to have my well deserved beer now…cheers!

Passed yesterday with 916/1000. piyush or xallax and 9tut. 2 months of studying and reading everyday. there is no doubt u have to know the concept so memorizing doesnt work. test was actually pretty easy compared to the questions i have studied. thanks to 9tut. know EIGRP, VTP, ACL, STP, NAT, only had VTP SIM and some drag and drops and hot spots. i had my well deserved beer.

what is the meaning of the output MTU 1500 bytes.

The exhibit is the results of a show Ethernet 0 command

The VCE says the answer is : The minimum packet size that can transverse the interface is 1500 byes.

I think the answer is wrong it should be the Maximum frame size that can transverse the interface is 1500 bytes per second.

can anyone please answer.

Thank you in advance guys.

@Gavin
what VCE are you referring to?

by cisco definition:
Maximum transmission unit (MTU) defines the largest size of packets that an interface can transmit without the need to fragment. IP packets larger than the MTU must go through IP fragmentation procedures.

today i passed the exam with 930 points thanks to 9tut and the practice exam fom xallax.

i got the vtp and frame relay labs, also there were 3 new questions

Xallax:

I have got a vce from a friend with the name thunda.vce, it is not on your vce through.

manopsteel: thks but this did not answer my question mate

Xallax:

I have got a vce from a friend with the name thunda.vce, it is not on your vce through.

manopsteel: thks but this did not answer my question mate

@ xallax

Do you have know the answer mate

yes, you are right. the author must have made a typing error. you should correct it.
replace “minimum” with “maximum”

most important thing about it: you questioned the answer! this shows that you have studied. be proud of yourself for that

@Xallax: Thks mate.

D- Traffic will be accepted, because the source address is not covered by the ACL

The answer says C

me i will go for A

What do you guys reckon?

Thks for the answer in advance

A – line 10 kill telnet, line 20 kill mail, line 30 kill web, line 40 allow the rest. invalid
B – all traffic that passed lines 10, 20 and 30. could be
C – line 40 allows traffic that isn’t telnet/mail/web. invalid
D – i can’t tell that just by looking at the provided output…

i was thinking that it’s for any kind of traffic. provide further info please

@Xallac

Below the question mate

Refer to the exhibit. what will happen to HTTP traffic coming from the internet that is destined for the 172.16.12.10 if the traffic is processed by this ACL.

D- Traffic will be accepted, because the source address is not covered by the ACL

The answer says C

me i will go for A

What do you guys reckon?

Thks for the answer in advance

@xallac

You too you agree that the line 30 will kill Http for the particular subnet

Another Question:

Below the exhibit of the show ip nat translation

Pro Inside global Inside Local
1.1.128.1 10.18.14.90
1.1.129.107 10.18.14.91
1.1.130.178 10.18.14.92
1.1.131.177 10.18.14.89
1.1.132.171 10.10.16.204
1.1.133.172 10.10.24.210
1.1.134.173 10.10.24.216
1.1.135.168 10.19.16.95
1.1.134.169 10.19.16.96
1.1.130.170 10.20.122.234
1.1.135.174 10.20.122.240

Which command would allow the translations to be created on the router ?

A- ip nat mypool 1.1.128.1 1.135.254 prefix-length 19

B- ip nat mypool 1.1.128.1 1.135.254 prefix-length 18

The other answers are not worthy put here

with the above info, even with netmask i don’t know

so… the range is: 1.1.128.0 ~ 1.1.135.255. that’s 8 bits + 8 bits + another 3 bits (135-128 = 7. 7 < 8. 8 = 2^3 <– that's the number of bits, 3). 8+8+3 = 19

the mask would be 0.0.7.255, the cli NAT command would be:
ip nat mypool 1.1.128.1 1.1.135.254 prefix-length 19

my answer is A. am I wrong?

@Xallax me

Your calculation makes sense, the VCE answer is B, a prefix length of 18

I think the VCE answer is wrong.

Thanks again Xallax

me i will go for 10.1.1.2

@Xallax what will u you go for mate

actually, i went googling and… i was wrong.
first of all: i did the math wrong, should’ve had 8+8+5…
here’s what a CCIE said:
https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/13164

looking at that… both answers are correct.

I cannot access the url Xallax. it forwards me to http://cln.cisco.mobi/

try accessing it once you get to a desktop pc or laptop…

Hi Xallax
Today I passed ICND2 exam. 860/1000
I used Wendel Odom book and 9tut material.
And Sim lab was same as 9tut lab. VTP, NAT. There are few new question.
Thank you so much 9tut.
CCNP here I com.

Hi Xallax
Today I passed ICND2 exam. 860/1000
I used Wendel Odom book and 9tut material.
And Sim lab was same as 9tut lab. VTP, NAT. There are few new question.
Thank you so much 9tut.
CCNP here I come.

Came really close to passing but had a few odd questions that may of threw me off. Frame Relay sim is easy, but there still is that typo in the address for one of the questions. Anywhere here’s my two questions

One question showed an image of show mac address-table output and asked what type of device was connected to fe 0/23. The choices were a Router, Switch, PC, and a fourth device which i hadn’t seen the picture. Apparrently it was an ATM switch? (here is the picture of the icon http://www.itaustinweb.com/newmedia/ciscoicons/atmswitch.gif) All of the entries were listed as dynamic and there were multiple mac addresses list for fe/023. What would the answer be? ATM switch?

My second issue was a question dealing with subnetting. It was the classic your company received the address block, 192.168.43.0/24, one of the router wan links was already assigned. My problem is with one networks had 83 hosts in it, there for it would need a /25 subnet correct? (/25=128 addresses=126 useable) However, the only choice given with a /25 was something along the lines of 192.168.43.245/25 … how is that even an accurate choice?

Thanks!

http://csakfalvi.hu/kepek/mtk_tif/ATM%20Switch%20copy.jpg is the icon, the previous link does not work. Apologies.

Hi n0x
check if the 192.168.43.245 /25 should be assigned to the interface. Usually it is the interface IP address the exam requires us to identify.

@n0x was there no way to use show cdp neighbor?

@Gavin

Below the question mate

Refer to the exhibit. what will happen to HTTP traffic coming from the internet that is destined for the 172.16.12.10 if the traffic is processed by this ACL.

router#Show access-lists

20 deny tcp 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 any eq smtp
30 deny tcp 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 any eq http
40 permit tcp 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 any

A – Traffic will be droped per line 30
B – Traffic will be accepted per line 40 of the ACL
C – Traffic will be dropped, because of the implicit deny all at the end of the ACL
D- Traffic will be accepted, because the source address is not covered by the ACL

The answer says C

me i will go for A

What do you guys reckon?

Thks for the answer in advance

I would say C because the question states “traffic coming from the internet and destined for 172.16.12.10”. All the lines of the ACL say that 172.16.12.10 is the source address so only the implicit deny at the end would kill the packet.

The correct answer to the above is C not A.

C.
it comes from the internet towards 172.16.0.0 and it matches the implied deny any any at the end.
@Anonymous thanks for giving us the entire questions
@grimster correct.

@Anoymous, @Xallac

You are right guys

Thanks Guys

Studying alone is never easy, we are so lucky to have 9tut 🙂

@xallax It was one of the questions where you could only hover over the router, and the output given was “Fe 0/1: ? S 0/1: 192.168.245.85/30” No access to CLI or anything else.

I went through 2 VCE’s last night (1000+ questions) searching for those questions. With the similiar subnetting questions, the highest # of required hosts were in the 30s or 40s. With “show mac address-table” question, I could not find an example anywhere, not in the VCEs, 9tut, or even on any of the Cisco Learning forums.

they gave you show mac-address-table! that is very important. why? because you could’ve looked there for MAC of devices connected to fa0/23.
if there was just 1 MAC then… it was a router or a pc
if there were multiple MACs then it was a switch. i’m guessing that this is the case, it was a switch.

wish i had the output

it definitely was a switch

i remember that questions there were multiple macs

@Xallax what will u you go for mate”

answer is C because it has the more specific subnet mask (/29)

@ n0x
The answer for your Question Multiple MAC for port fe0/23 ,it was HUB , because The switch show different MAC for the same port.

@ n0x
if you give us more details about the second Question?Maybe I can help. Thank you for you shared with us your questions.

@ anonymous
it was a switch they were all different macs

In actual exam like packet tracer software simulator suggests commands or we have to keep it in mind?
for example : when we type sh in packet simulator and then press TAB key then it will automatically suggests “show” command. actual exam’s simulator is also suggesting it or we have to type it completely??

took the test yesterday and failed. people should be aware of something – the more sims you have on your test, the fewer questions, when it showed only 40 I knew I was up for trouble. Had all the sims, all the simlets & ran out of time, plus IPv6, not a good time, didn’t fail by much

so, the lesson is you have to be ready to work fast, not just know the sim

@whatever do you remember which questions slowed you or consumed the most of your time. Which questions gave you difficulty.

I’m not going to violate the non-disclosure policy, but two problems were a hang-up: the NAT simlet was a very difficult one, unlike any I’ve seen and the VTP would not accept the vtp mode client command (maybe I had it out of order, it was the last sim and I ran out of time, can’t remember) but I looked it up afterward, correct command was rejected — I was rushing because time was ticking away…

OSPF – simlet based on above, 2 access list sims, a nat sim, the eigrp, and the vtp, go look at the material on 9tut.com

almost all sims, that’s why it took so long – have to be fast to do it in 75 minutes, each sim has 4-5 questions but counted only as one question in the exam

know how to do the sims & simlets for the ccna, not just here

here’s what i hope to be the final version for the ICND2 practice questions VCE file:
http://open-cart-templates.site90.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=65_66&product_id=63

yes, i know, I’m asking for the outstanding amount of 5 eur… there’s just one minor change to a question, that’s all. there are still links to older versions posted here 🙂 just think of it as a donation

Do I need VCE software before purchasing the practice test or does it come with it?

you get instructions on how to download it

Instructions for a free download or purchase? I just need to know so I can make sure of how much I will be spending in total. Thanks

free download of course…

@xallax you come to a site that supports the coming together in pursuit of cisco certifications where we all share knowledge, advice, comments, failures, and successes for free. 9tut charges us nothing, and mostly all the vce’s have been free. The vce’s have been handed down and reworked by people who want to help others on this site and others but you are the first that i have seen to use this site for personal gain. Isnt there some rule against this.

@ccnp bound
you are absolutely right.

@xallax
So what’s the deal. Why are you selling out for the quick buck?

long story short: it sucks being an unemployed student…
i’m not asking for much. please don’t go against me on this, i’m just trying to get an income, no matter how low it is.
started 7 days ago, earned 5 euros already (five! and i’m proud of it.)

@xallax
we’re all in the same boat, and we are all stuggling trying to find our place in this world. i understand you’re problems because i am experiencing them too. so i hope that this helps you but i still feel that you sold out. now back to the topic that this forum was intended. i wont say anything else about it.

thank you for understanding my situation, hope we all find our place in the big picture.

Passed the ICND2 test last week. 70-80% of the questions came from the Actual Test Exam that I downloaded from actualtests.com. I also had the exact VTP sim shown here.

@thomas
could you please send me the download

Hi guys i just passed with a score of 991!!!! i cant believe it!!! Im so happy…

got the vtp sims and frame-relay.. got 2 ipv6 ques which r alrdy on this website

other than that..mostly are nat, ospf n eigrp ques..!!!

good luck every1!!

@Watch the Clock
that sucks… thanks for the share though

I almost failed. I thought I already fail coz starting from nos. 1~7 multiple choice on my exam was not inside xallax vce or rather 9tut.net, im sure of it… That’s why a big warning to all. Do not memorize or rely on vce practice exam, understand well the concept and principles. If you are just lucky enough that all you reviewed from the vce or 9tut comeout on exams, you may say Ur chosen to be lucky like my ICND1 (result=942), but for this ICND2 its a bit tough for me, but still I got it 874, with hardwork review and prayers help, I got it. . Still I am very thankful to all who are sharing their experiences here and most of all this site 9tut…more power 9tut. I can sleep well now after a 1.5 month of study ICND2 every night. Now Im aiming to get MCSE….

@manopsteel
congratulations and thanks for saying the golden rule once again:
“understand well the concept and principles”

@ Watch The Clock
Thank you so much , Time is the hard thing in this exam, I just wonder you are took ICND2 exam

Failed by a bit last night (result 804). I had the same exam as “Watch the Clock”. Failed with his question 1. Did not know :: was a valid address. Also failed question 7. Do know what PVC is, but the wording was so different i think i did make the wrong choices (i’m not a English native speaker).

One question was about ACL and secure web browsing. But HTTPS was not there only HTTP. Also not the port 443. Believe this is an error in the exam. Or maybe “Watch the Clock” could tell me what i did not see ;-(

One question was about ACL not allowed to browse. The did remove the access-list from the outside and put it on the inside. Does this have an difference in effect? My answer was no as the data needs to come back from the webserver and the result will be that it failes. But not sure if i’m right. Can someone help me the correct answer?

I did have 30 minutes left.

Yeahhhhhhhhh I passed today with a score of 888; VTP, Frame Relay and NAT simulation, about 4 or 5 questions of IPv6… be careful to understand the theory, good luck everyone now i want CCNA security!

This is another question I remember, but noticed the answer is wrong on a lot of practice exams.

Which command will show the MAC addresses of stations connected to switch ports?
A. Switch# show mac-address
B. Switch# show arp
C. Switch# show table
D. Switch# show switchport

The answer is A. Switch# show mac-address, but the answer normally picked is B. Switch# show arp. Both commands will show you the mac addresses, but show mac-addresses will show you which physical port they are connected to.

Hello As6ar! congratulations on passing yoor exam, sorry for delay I have been on vacation, also congrats to all other users who passed, I have been studying the material hard for trhee months now and I booked exam for september 2nd.
Good luck also to other users who are doing exam soon.

Hi Watch the Clock,
in regards your latest question, I was reading this in a forum, users please share your thoughts.
**They are trying to trick you because show mac-address-table is the correct command, however that answer is not a choice and the next best choice would be show arp.
Show mac-address is an invalid command.
show arp(cache)
Displays arp cache

The following is sample output from the show arp command:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show arp

This one is really tricky because the question indicates you need to identify the “switch ports”. show arp does not show you the switch ports, but it does show the IP. I used the VTP Sim and ran a few show commands to show the results. I first ran show mac? and the results show mac-address table as the only command option. I then ran show mac and this produced the mac address table. This was to illustrate short commands work if there are no other options. I repeated the command with mac-address and mac-address-table which also had the same results. The last command was show arp and you will see that it only list 1 mac-address and it is different then the 2 produced by show mac-address-table. Do you know why that is? show arp maps a layer 3 ip to a layer 2 mac address. show mac-address-table maps a mac address to physical ports on a switch.

Passed ICND_2 Today..scored 930….. passing was 825 with 43 questions , 75mins.

– I had 1 Lab Sim: VTP
– From what i remember:
– vtp domain: east_valley
– ip default gateway: 192.168.22.97
– The other switch was using 192.168.22.98 … the question asked me to use the first usuable so i used 192.168.22.99 255.255.255.224 . Scored 100

– I did not get an EIGRP, NAT, OSPF, Access-list LAB where i had to configured any RTR or SW
– Got Frame-relay Sim… know ” show frame-relay map” & “show run “command and you’re good.
– Had 3-4 Drag and Drop, which are listed in the dumps and in here.
– Know Port Security for a SWITCH, I had alot of those questions.
– Most of the STP and VTP questions are exactly from the dumps understanding the concepts are more important.
– “1” drag and drop VLSM
– “1” drag and drop ACL

Study Material:
– cbt nuggets <– Gives me a foundation of the concept
– Cisco ActualTest 640-816 v2011-07-15 521q.vce <— Many thanks.
– Wendell Odom's Icnd1 and 2 books <– Help explained each concept more in depth
– 9tut <– Awesome, many thanks

@frmJP
hey, that’s my VCE 🙂
glad it helped you and gratz on passing the exam

Passed my ICND2 today with 902/1000. Lots of the questions were variations on the examples from the ICND2 examples on this site

@Watch the Clock,
thanks for this explanation, so this would mean that the correct answer is A. Switch# show mac-address?
because the question states: Which command will show the MAC addresses of stations connected to “switch ports”?

Thanks in advance

@Watch the Clock & Spainvasion
CCNA level deals with layer 2 switches.
Mac-address-table will have layer 2 entries i.e. source mac’s from devices connected to ports. Arp entries are for layer 3 activity mapping the IP address to mac addresses.
On L2 Switches we will only get arp entries for management activity on the swich e.g. pings telnet and ssh activity etc.
The MAC addresses connected to the ports will be in the mac-address-table (mac-address as the short command as there is mac-address-table “mac address-table” and “mac access-group” variants of the “show mac command)
I would choose A:
B: you would not get any of the port connections on a layer 2 switch with sh arp, the port would be the management vlan, VLAN1 for example.

Just curious, has obtaining a CCNA actually helped you guys land jobs? I am in the boat of where I have had an amazing job for years and they are just now asking me to get it. It has been a while since I have had to search for a job and am just curious as to how much weight this cert holds. Good luck to everyone out there!

CCNA is a required cert on many job posting. They hold value because companies get Cisco perks if they have a CCNA certified employee. I have seen many many job posting that require at least a CCNA.

Passed today with a 930 score. I am now CCNA 🙂 I had 2 sims, and 2 simlets. LOTS of new questions. 43 questions and 75mins of time. I had only about 7-8 mins left on the clock. You REALLY need to work FAST when taking this exam. I thought I was going to run out of time as I was getting hit with sims and simlets in the first half. The multiple choice questions I had pretty much covered every topic. Again, LOTS of new questions. I would say 40% of the questions I have never seen before and the questions that did look familiar were altered with different ips, or routing tables, or diagrams. The test is different from what you see on this site.

My studies : Watched CBTnuggets twice, this website, 500+ practice questions, some old sybex CCNA book, and setup 2 older routers and one old switch to practice on at home. Also the Cisco learning network is pretty good.

Finally I can sleep for a few days 🙂 🙂 🙂

Congrats 5th element 930 is damn near perfect you must really know your cisco.

Can someone tell me if the help (?) command is available on the exam?

yes the help is available on some questions like the vtp, frame relay, and some others.

Thanks ccnp bound.

@ xallax,

I purchased your VCE for icnd2 it won’t open, Both downloads failed. I take the test tomorrow and I’m fairly well up to date but I wanted your VCE as a last minute prep. Can you email me at dmarcionette@msn.com, all other files opened but the large VCE I think it was around 7 megs.
