for Q9 D it says route reflection or confederation eliminates “any” full mesh requirements which as victor said is half true, still partial full mesh requirement is needed, I will probably will go for C and E if C said ” Routers will not advertise iBGP learned routes to other iBGP peers. ” not “learned router” unless D and E
I would say Q42 will fall under IP addressing and routing solutions part
wish you luck Kash, waiting for your good news :)
thanks guys i will update i will with in next 30 minutes my exam will be at 16:00 hours but i have toi travel about 1.30 hrs
Q17 I am with C
Q 14 any final minutes thoughts or shoud i go with C
Q14 with regarding student guide is C :-S
where in the study guide it sayd i think its not C read question carefully it is to confirm where the range can be summarize its not asking how to summarize … got my point
From ARCH student guide volume 1 page 163:
A block of summarizable addresses:
•Has N sequential numbers in an octet
•Has N as a power of 2
• Has the first number in the block a multiple of N
Example: Is 172.19.160.0 -172.19.191.0 summarizable?
– 160 to 191 is a range of 32 numbers in a row.
– 32 is 2 to the fifth power.
– 160 is a multiple of 32.
– Conclusion: Yes, 172.19.160.0 -172.19.191.0 is summarizable.
it exactly says “There are 3 steps to confirm whether a range of IP address can be summarized”
I think base on this explanation the C is clear answer
thanks lets seee
hi bd,
congrats!
you can share the file with the questions corrected?
@ccnp2011
Hi thx.

sorry misspelled .. in Short option A and Option F were the same i choose A
@Kash yeeeee well done!! :)
Congrats Kash!! , may i know what was your total score? Also did you prepare from testking also , or just AT 5.8 with student guides?
thanks guys
865 i scored
But i am telling you Exam is 95 % from first 75 questions ….. but I am still not satisfied from Routing score … You guys need to work out OSPF and EIGRP
i have 4 OSPF questions and 3 EIGRP all were from AT 5.8
I have discussed this with Pass 4 sure team they will update is very soon
Congrats Kash!
you did prepare from testking also ? please share.
Thanks
i bought P4S but used AT 5.8 all the exams matterial is same .
bd’s answer for the etherchannel D&D is correct. Got that one and answered it the same. Agree with Kash, but I got about 80% from the first 60 questions. There was definitely a few from the later questions too. No wireless, so I don’t think you need to look at that. I also purchased P4S, but it was nowhere near as accurate as the AT 5.8 in terms of questions covered. Kash scored about 20 more marks than me, so you can listen to him, obviously.
@Kash. Got that question with the two exact same answers too. I couldn’t figure out what the difference was either (as there wasn’t one) and I picked B (access switch rather than access module like in the two same questions). None of the answers seemed a 100% right, though.
In case anyone’s interested;

@Kash
Congrats! so happy to hear you passed. Did you get Q42 and Q14?
My only suggestion is to
search all OSPF, BGP and EIGRP questions in AT 5.8 and work out answers to that again .
any one bought P4S go back to P4S and make clame that there product is bad and didnt help we need money back or exchange option
Congrats 2 those who had cleared t exam…I wud request 1 small help, can u guys 4m ur experience…edit the AT5.8 wit t correct answers as discussed in these page n share t same for ppl like me 2 learn it easily also wit t correct references!!! Tat wud be of very gr8 help…Thanks in advance…

D Self-study v2 page 393
Q4
C Self-study v2 Page 128
E Self-study v2 Page 130
@Pedram….
Q2 C,E are correct…T question asks for both IPS and IDS with 2 choice – ie 1 option for each and for choice E, refer Page 392of self study…I am in the process of making a PDF with AT5.8 wit t notes and references..
@Kash, bd – Kindly confirm on the same
@Sri
I won’t bet on that, C,D are stated word by word on ref, more than that same ref page 391 says “Typical scenarios include placing the sensors at the perimeter of the network outside a firewall where the network is most exposed” which makes E completely wrong. Also it is not a force for choosing 1 for IDS and 1 for IPS!
same page 391 specifically about IDS: “Some environments deploy an IDS outside the firewall to assist in event correlation and to determine the effectiveness of the firewall.” E is wrong, no doubt
@ Pedram – did u c thats a note only!!! Its just for reference only :)
@ Sri, I cann’t get your point! that’s a note only?! note means something you should notice!! what about the paragraph right above that?! “Typical scenarios include placing the sensors at the perimeter of the network outside a firewall”
you can go with your choices, Kash and bd also scored 67% in security part means somethings are wrong on that parts and this one is one of them, I would say.
hi guys , @ sri
It is virtually impossible any one who passed will put that much effort in it , U just look at page 3 and 4 a detailed discussion Me victor and Pedram some other guys
on page 4 i put my final thing
As far as question 2 is in concern CE is correct as it is asking about both.
Q4 might be wrong on AT as i already told Concentrate on routing u get 90 %
@Kash,
Q2 I will not go for that, again C,D stated word by word in ref, E is clearly rejected by ref, I can see any force for being 1 choice for IPS and 1 for IDS
I meant I cann’t see any force for … “intrusion detection and prevention solution” stated in Q is regarding the name of exact chapter in ref not to force you choose one on each part
true concerning intrusion detection and prevention solution
I have done IPS design paper , when we put IDS outside the Firewall is to understand what type of threats we are facing as an organisation but those alarms from the IDS have lower priority as mose of those traffic are actually blocked by Firewall.
@ Kash
Only thing I can add to Q2 is even if we consider E as a correct answer, there are three correct answers and I will go for C,D as they are clear in ref. and one other question why you choice C over D in IPS part? (if consider such a force in Q which I don’t) they are both true.
and the reason you put IDS outside the firewall is to “assist in event correlation and to determine the effectiveness of the firewall” not to consider all its log for taking action against security policies
So, whats next?) I am planning CCNP security track.
@ Kash @ Pedram @Mcaster @Victor
Let’s save our contact for future? My Skype Name is bellirafond, you are welcome! We can to conference via chat in skype when it is need, or need an advice or something else :)
