Please share with us your experience after taking the exam, your materials, the way you learned, your recommendations…
According to the comments here and some other places, you might see the EIGRP, VTP, Access-list 2 sims (Access-list 2 is an old sim but they revived it). And one notice in the VTP sim is they can change the root bridge and the Configuration Revision Number so make sure you grasped the concept.
Make sure you understand all the sim-labs on this site because all the sims you might see in your exam were posted here.
I will continue to update this page when I get news about the exam. If you know anything new, please comment here (especially about lab-sim questions). All of us are waiting for your guide!
Note: We have a topic of Frequently Asked Questions & Tips for CCNA learners, surely you will find valuable information about the CCNA exam there.

Refer to the exhibit. Why is flash memory erased prior to upgrading the IOS image from the TFTP server?
A. The router cannot verify that the Cisco IOS image currently in flash is valid
B. Flash memory on Cisco routers can contain only a single IOS image.
C. Erasing current flash content is requested during the copy dialog.
D. In order for the router to use the new image as the default, it must be the only IOS image in flash.
@adeel Khan DXB
@varma.
option C. is requested during copy. maybe the other options may seem correct at times, but the key is the name of the IOS. you see the current name and the new IOS name are the same, but the router can not have 2 IOS with the SAME NAME, so it request to delete the old one.
sorry
ans: A: It designates VLAN999 for untagged traffic.
whats the difference between
FLASH
NVRAM
RAM
@dissum
FLASH: not erased after reload: store IOS images.
NVRAM: not erased after reloady : stores system configuration files
RAM: erased after reload : current configuration., also caches, route tables, topologies,
hope this helps.
What type of cable is used to connect to COM port of a host to the COM port of a router or switch
Is that same as host to Sw/R cable ?
Whats the cable
@anon
COM TO COM conecction needs a console cable or rollover.
@DISUMMM:
Yeah pretty well m reading v218 now…..
@all:
When troubleshooting a Frame Relay connection, what is the first step when performing a loopback
test?
A. Set the encapsulation of the interface to HDLC.
B. Place the CSU/DSU in local-loop mode.
C. Enable local-loop mode on the DCE Frame Relay router.
D. Verify that the encapsulation is set to Frame Relay.
@Adeel Khan
Answer : A
@Nabz:
Sure!!!
I think it was B…..i read it somewhere…
@Adeel@Nabz
Actual test,Acme,TI and MAshti all say answer is A but am not able to find out the exact
reason anywhere in cisco learners site nor todd lammle….why its A not B
@DISUMMM:
yeah m confused too :(
@adeel Khan ..
@Disumm…
We can verify only in a life scenario …..
@disummm…
2Adeel Khan……
Check out the link …
http://www.informit.com/library/content.aspx?b=CCNP_Studies_Troubleshooting&seqNum=91
@all
Answer is A because frame relay doesnt support loopback test, then you have to change the encap to HDLC, make the test, and then change to frame-relay encap again.
I will try to find the source, as i learned this 2 months ago, but i forgot from where.
nabz was faster. :)
@ECUIM…
Check out the Above link for the description
thanks alot for the explanations and sharing :)

cheers
Bfreeze
@Bfreeze …
yes u posted ….but still i have confusion…
@Nabz
ok , ripNg FF02::9 ( is 224.0.0.9 in ripV2) , ospfV3 FF02::5 or FF02::6 to DR routers, ( are 224.0.0.5 or 224.0.0.6 in ospf ) , FF02::A eigrp for ipV6 ( 224.0.0.10 in eigrp for ipV4 )
cheers
Bfreeze
@Bfreeze …Thanks ..
@Nabz
There are too many multicast, but you can realize that the beggining may be:
ff01
ff02
ff05
sometimes ff0x.
Hi all what are the exact sims of the exam? EIGRP, VTP and ACL 1 or ACL 2?
Regards ¡¡¡
When you say the current sim is VTP are you talkijng about the one with the show commands to answer to multiple choice questions? My test is tomorrow and I want to make sure this is the correct sim.

Hi guys,
Do I have to use “wri” OR “copy run start” for saving settings in Sims to get credit?
@ ciscostudy
use copy running-config startup-config
@ciscostudy
wri doesn’t work,
No No I am not asking which one is working.
I need to know If I dont use one of those at the end of the Sim will my previous settings get credit or they ll wipe when I press Next (Which I wont get credit this time).
Thank you
@ali
maybe this can help you .

Hi all ¡¡
I have study the eigrp, vtp and acl lab 2. Also the 2 hotspot questions.
Its ok or i need study another sim or hotspot like the Acl 1 sim for example.
Veronica.
@ ECIUM
thanks …. C is correct ans i was wrong ..
@all
you maybe interested in some videos i made in which you can learn to prepare your own packet tracer labs.
it is not so complete, mostly vtp, stp, trunking.
search eciumnetwork in youtube.com

Hi, all
I passed CCNA, 930/1000.
I studied acme and Ti 640-802 v218 and Sims in 9tut.
Thanks, 9tut!
EIGRP sim is a bit different, so be careful.
There are some new questions, 4 or 5, but not difficult.
@Ninja.
congratulations.
maybe you can make an effort and remember those tricky new questions.
;)
Users have been complaining that their Fram Relay connection to the corporate site is very slow. The network administrator suspects that the link is overloaded. Based on the partial output of the Router# show frame relay pvc command show in the graphic, Which output value indicates to the local router that traffic sent to the corporate site is experiencing congestion?
Question
A. DLCE=100
B. last time PVC status changed 00:25:40
C. in BECN packets 192
D. in FECN packets 147
E. in DF packet 0
Answer: C
I think D, Can someone explain this question?
@Jwell,
it is pretty easy in fact.
you have to take care of BENCS and FECNS.
Bencs refers to traffic error information you send.
Fecns refers to traffic error information you receive.
error informations means packets that are lost in the network, posibly because of network conecction.
So in the exhibit you see out and in BEncs and out and in FENCS.
you need to see the OUT part. because the questions talk about traffic sent.
then you need to put your attention on the BENCS packets 259, that tell us there is a problem in the network.
so we must remember that a high number of BENCS packets means congentions. low or no BENCS packets tell us our network links are good.
@iwell
“error informations means packets that are lost in the network, posibly because of network conecction.” i meant “network congestion.”
@ECIUM
EIGRP number in the picture is not 212.
and u can only access to router 3 from host D.
@Jwell
Answer C is correct.
You send traffice, then receive BECN, target receive FECN.
If you are sent traffice, then receive FECN, Souce receive BECN.

how can u configure and eigrp wereby the routers are config the same havin the san number example 23/23 but in one having its network been passive ie packet can not be sent/ping to it due to this reason how can u config it to become active pls help me
Apply with command #no passive-interface COMMAND, then the link comes active
Sometimes ISP and Router contains passive interface, remember that cannot be removed
Router- Router passive can be removed but not ISP-Router
@david
can you re-explain your question in a better way? XD
Have you gone through the PKT EIGRP lab, have a small doubt dude
@disumm
mmm well.. i havent. but.. what pkt eigrp lab do you mean? maybe you can send me the lab or tell me where is it and i can answer you after doing it :D
Suppose we check using sh running-config command—-here is the o/p
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 192.168.60.129 255.255.255.252
duplex auto
speed auto
!
interface FastEthernet0/1
ip address 192.168.60.145 255.255.255.252
duplex auto
speed auto
!
interface Serial0/0
no ip address
shutdown
!
interface Serial0/1
ip address 192.168.60.26 255.255.255.252
!
router eigrp 212
network 192.168.60.0
no auto-summary
!
ip classless
!
Why does the router show only single network. when the N/w configured are 3(shown above) Is it just because they are in same class or something else
http://www.4shared.com/file/qN8nC9fo/CCNA_DragDrop_EIGRP_RIP_NAT_an.html
here is the link for PKT labs
can some body help me masthi dumps are not opening it is asking password
what is the password used
@disum
just looking the output i can tell you this.
when you stablish which network to route in eigrp you can do it in many ways.
in this particular case i can see that this commands where use:
——
router eigrp 212
network 192.168.60.0
——
After that the network and the routing will work just fine, because every interface matching that network address will be part of the routing. You can verify this doing “Show ip route” command.
On the other side and answering your question, the above scenario is ONE way to configure eigrp. You could also do this:
—-
router eigrp 212
network 192.168.128 0 0.0.0.3
network 192.168.144 0 0.0.0.3
network 192.168.24 0 0.0.0.3
—–
and the routing will work just fine and you would see this output for “sh running”
OUTPUT OMMITED–
interface Serial0/1
ip address 192.168.60.26 255.255.255.252
!
router eigrp 212
network 192.168.128 0 0.0.0.3
network 192.168.144 0 0.0.0.3
network 192.168.24 0 0.0.0.3
no auto-summary
!
ip classless
——————-
I have answered you from memory.. i havent done the pkt lab… so you can test what i tell you, i am pretty sure i am right.
i hope i have helped you.
Masthi dumps are same as ACME, the difference is just explanation.collect from below link
When are you writing exam and which loc in india ?
http://www.examcollection.com/640-802.html
@DISUMMM iam frm hyderabad my exam is on 24th of this month
hat abt u
Ping is working fine…the o/p which i have sent you is after applying networks to all interfaces.
So my question is why will it show only one network address instead of three
I think its just because they are in same class
My one more doubt is, we apply no auto-summary command in EIGRP lab. We know that we apply that to two different networks of different classful network ie DISCONT Network.
But what i have seen is ping just work fine even before applying no auto-summary command
Why that happens and if that happens whats the use of using no auto-summary command
Same here, am from hyd too dude writing the exam on 16/17 at basheerbagh NIIT
@All
i booked my exam on Saturday due unavailable slots on Friday….
@ Disummm
we all knew that in CCNA VTP SIM Question there is a dashed line between switch AC3 and console.In the real time exam should we execute commands by double clicking SW-AC3 in cli mode or should we have to execute the commands in console command promt….
In CCNA Access List Sim 2 should we execute the commands by double clicking on corp1 router or in console
finally in CCNA EIGRP LAB Question same kindaf doubt
may be my doubt is silly but doubt is always a doubt plz solve my query??
@disumm ..
.yes bcoz they belong to same class so no need to advertise all network .
We dont need to configure anything , We just use #show commands by clicking console PC
Same commands like here in 9tut, but remember we will get all 5 Q on single page cuz some ppl just answer 1 thinking they get 2nd Q once they click next…. we cannot go back in the exam.
But in EIGRP we click concerned outers and Console PC in ACL lab
Our fellow friend NAbz has answered the EIGRP Query
@Nabz
how’s your preparation going dude, what dumps have you prepared
My one more doubt is,
we apply no auto-summary command in EIGRP lab. We also know that we apply for two different networks of different classful network ie DISCONT Network.
But what i have seen is ping just work fine even even if no auto-summary command is applied.
Why that happens and if that happens whats the use of using no auto-summary command
Sorry
,VTP we use SW-3 switch
EIGRP we use Routers
ACL we use Console PC, these are what we use normally
In all the three Cases, they will let you know in Q itself what to click and start working
@Disummm

QNo-282 from tkv218
Refer to the exhibit. An organization connects two locations, supporting two VLANs, through two
switches as shown. Inter-VLANs communication is not required. The network is working properly and there
is full connectivity. The organization needs to add additional VLANs, so it has been decided to implement
VTP. Both switches are configured as VTP servers in the same VTP domain. VLANs added to Switch1 are
not learned by Switch2. Based on this information and the partial configurations in the exhibit, what is the
problem?
A. Switch2 should be configured as a VTP client.
B. VTP is Cisco proprietary and requires a different trunking encapsulation.
C. A router is required to route VTP advertisements between the switches.
D. STP has blocked one of the links between the switches,limiting connectivity.
E. The links between the switches are access links.
Answer????
Answer is E
The links are aceess links, making them trunk ports will solve the issue
The difference is access links carry 1 vlan at a time, whereas trunk links carry all vlan’s at a
time.Trunk link has the job to carry vlan info to all switches where as access link does not

Refer to the exhibit. For what two reasons has the router loaded its IOS image from the location that is
shown?(Choose two)
A. Router1 has specific boot system commands that instruct it to load IOS from TFTP server.
B. Router1 is acting as a TFTP server for other routers.

E. Cisco routers will first attempt to load a image from TFTP for management purposes
@ hetas
please share your experience….how different are they
What changes did you see in labs, please let us know
@hetas
sir what do you mean in eigrp have a NAT they modified again.
@Deepak:
Answer: ACE
Explanation:
1. Use the show cdp entry * command on Device Manchester to find that the IP address of Device London is 10.1.1.2. Therefore, the IP address of the interface of Device Manchester is 10.1.1.1.
2. The results shown by running the show cdp entry command show that the platform of Device London is cisco 2610.
3. Interface: serial0/0 indicates that Device Manchester is connected with Device London through S0/0.
@Deepak:
Answer: AE
Explanation:
The loading sequence of CISCO IOS is as follows:
Booting up the router and locating the Cisco IOS
1. POST (Power on self test)
2. Bootstrap code executed
3. Check Configuration Register value(NVRAM) which can be modified using the config-register command
0 = ROM Monitor mode
1 = ROM IOS
2 – 15 = Startup-config in NVRAM
4. Startup-config file: Check for boot system commands(NVRAM)
IF boot system commands in startup-config
a. Run boot system commands fail, use default fallback sequence to locate the IOS(Flash, TFTP, ROM)?]
If no boot system commands in startup-config use the default fallback sequence in locating the IOS:
a. Flash (sequential)
b. TFTP server (netboot)
c. ROM(partial IOS) or keep retrying TFTP depending upon router model
5. If IOS is loaded, but there is no startup-config file, the router will use the default fallback sequence for locating the IOS and then it will enter setup mode or the setup dialogue
6. If no IOS can be loaded, the router will get the partial IOS version from ROM
Good luck!
