    Q.22 & Q .269

    “A first-hop redundancy protocol is needed only if the design implements Layer 2 between
    the access switch and the distribution switch” self study pg.66

    Q.22 – doesn’t seem to have valid option, perhaps typo.
    Q.269 – surely E and not F (E = L2 / F = L3)

    Q.243 = C, E

    “The Cisco CSM then statically routes inbound traffic to the aggregation
    switch FWSM, which routes it to the connected server subnet. Traffic bound directly for
    a real server IP address bypasses the Cisco CSM.
    The appropriate outbound traffic from the servers is directed by PBR or client NAT to the
    Cisco CSM. The MSFC is directly connected to the Cisco CSM, and so RHI is possible.
    No extra configuration is needed for direct traffic to and from the servers” self study p.326

    @ syed which one did you pass 1st the bcmsn or bsci whickhevr one it was.
    It counts 3 years from that date depending on how old they both are

    you may need to do route or switch or both

  35. syed
    September 20th, 2011

    As I said, my CCNP is going to expire on 24th september, means all CCNP papers are valid till 24th september including routing & switching & CCNA as well.

  36. USNCIV
    September 20th, 2011

    Yes, your CCNP is valid now that you have passed the CCDP. You only have to pass a 642 requirement which you did

  37. syed
