    @Pedram – The questions i got were from the first 70questions of AT5.8!!!! The new qns were related to the Nexus1000v, VmSphere, Video Streaming
    Q4 – I had 6 choices!!! It was a combination of Q4 choices and 21. I dont remember the choices, i selected as i was nervous as this was arnd my 50th question n i was eager 2 finish t exam!!!!
    Q9,28 – I selected the choices as shared earlier only. I did not change!!!
    Nexus:
    Q31 – Same question
    Q61- A modified version with some more detailed/similar answer choices
    Q31 – Same question
    Streaming Video – What are the factors to consider
    Some choices were
    1. Some company….growing in 2013
    2. Streaming video can be jitter….. Interactive application uses TCP…
    Other choices not remember -Read Pages 453-455 of the Study guide – Second edition, as the contents are from there only.

    Pls validate Q13: CE is ryt?

    A:OSPF over multicast EMS or VPLS network may not have consistent broadcast or multicast
    performance —–> seems to be wrong as in question mentioned OSPF over mulitcast, but in text book mentioned OSPF multiaccess network
    when using OSPF is that the multiaccess network may not have consistent broadcast or multicast performance

    C: QoS requirements with MPLS-VPN must be implemented by the service provider — Still calrification required as in question mentioned QOS with MPLS-VPN must be implemented by SP, in text book mentioned L3 VPNs allows the customer to implment QOS internally

    Is QoS needed? If QoS is available from the service provider, the customer needs to decide whether to buy an MPLS service with QoS. Using Layer 3 VPNs allows the customer to implement QoS internally.

    E:IGMP snooping is not on option with VPLS or EMS; instead administrative scoping or allowing — RYT

    sufficient bandwidth for unnecessary multicast traffic at the edge links is required
    IGMP snooping is not an option with VPLS or EMS, One conclusion is that VPLS designers with customer networks that have significant amounts of multicast need
    to use administrative scoping to limit the propagation of multicast packets, or else allow sufficient bandwidth for unnecessary multicast traffic at the edge links.

    Hi Sri ..Congratulations …as i understand from your score mainly we have to focus on Design advanced IP addressing and routing solutions for enterprise networks & Security Services
    Guys let’s go through with more concentration from these two areas and give your comments on questions AT5.8, P4S

    Thanks

    Hi,

    What abt Q28 in AT5.8, i strongly feel that C is the ryt ans..what is your call on this?

  12. Eldeeb
    September 4th, 2011

    I believe there is something wrong in the Multicast D&D. the BSR is using hop by hop mechanism for advertising itself and the Anycast is using the MSDP for source discovery to sync there sources .

    September 4th, 2011

    @ kumar

    Q13 I would say A it is probably a typo of “multiaccess” and it is true. C is not a “must” as in layer 3 it is implemented internally. So in exam if it is multiaccess I would go for A,E

  14. Pedram
    September 4th, 2011

    Q28 is a big doubt :(

    i believe E is False the right ans is AC refer Self Study V2 Page 182 , 184

  18. Pedram
    September 4th, 2011

    @ Atish

    E is stated word by word in self study page 181, as I said C is not a must as it says in same ref page 183 ” Using Layer 3 VPNs allows the customer to implement QoS internally.”
    if A in exam would be “multiaccess” there is no doubt that answer is A,E unless I will go with C,E

    There are three steps to confirm whether a range if IP addresses can be summarized. Which of
    the following is used in each of three 3 steps?
    A. The first number in the contiguous block of addresses
    B. The last number in the contiguous block of addresses
    C. The size of the contiguous block of addresses
    D. The subnet mask of the original network address

    here i am little confuse it’s look like either A or C

  40. Pedram
    September 6th, 2011

    I don’t know how many times I should post it here :-P, it is definitely C, find the ref in my last comments about that in previous pages.

    QUESTION NO: 149

    You are the Cisco Network Designer in Cisco.com. In your company site, a NAS is both physically
    and logically in the traffic path. The NAS identifies clients solely based on their MAC addresses. In
    which access mode has this NAS been configured to operate?
    A. Layer 2 mode
    B. Layer 2 Edge mode
    C. Layer 3 mode
    D. Layer 3 In-Band mode

    which is right since MAC address means Layer 2 A or B
