Share your CCDA v2.1 Experience

you are correct the core layer provides a limited set of services I read that now in cisco datacenter design 3

Access:
+ enforces policy within the network
+ the most feature-rich parts of the campus network
Distribution:
+ routing boundary (dynamic, summarization, static)
+ provide security, QoS, and IP multicast to network
Core:
+ high level of availability, scalability and fast convergence
+ provides a limited set of services

This is the correct answer, I read also that the core layer must have a high level of availability, scalability and fast convergence

Guys, if you’re using P4S, actual tests or that latest VCE files posted earlier you will NOT pass. Cisco added around 10 new questions and they were on both exams i took in the past 2 weeks. Some are mentioned earlier in this thread but no one provided any details. Deserteagle27’s post on November gives the most insight to the new questions.

Nothing against anyone’s products, but they’re currently out of date.

sorry Deserteagle27’s post on November 3rd…..

Hello Guys, I did my test today, there’re some new questions included about 3 new Drag and Drop questions…
Someone has these questions updated??

Hi Anonymous,

Can give us some insight about this new questions you encountered esp on the D&D?

Thank you.

hi anonymous, so how much did you score for your exam? and which materials did u use to study and the questions were same except for the 3 new drag and drops you mention? actualtests ver 8 valid?

anyone taken this test recently? any much changes if study from actualtests?

thank you all of you
==

good luck Anonymous :)
share us the new questions & your score

thanks

I am communicating with pass4sure they have many other wrong answers this site D&D are more accurateeven some two question in this site and p4s collection are wrong, I got the exact answers for them from cisco safe architecture design in cisco website

This is awful I WAS GOING TO TAKE THE EXAM TODAY BUT I changed my mind still need more time

You need an advice read all the reference guides located at the end of each chapter of the ccda certification guide 4, many of the answers are located there word by word

Can you share which ones are wrong?

I am on checking the remaining question, but they are correct in this site in p4s they are wrong

@Anonymous: hello friend, so what are these new 3 drag & drop ?? you failed or passed?

this is the post from November 3rd that talks about some of the new material:

Hi All,

Good news – it’s doable;) If I can make it for 927/1000, anyone can;)

Now, the content; there were 4 questions which are not in AT nor in vce. I’ll try to recover as much as possible:

_Designing threat detection and mitigation protection for enterpise… choose the right solution:_
A) firewall
B) 802
C) MARS
D) something I don’t remember

I put B, but it should be obviously MARS.

_D&D_

RMON – complete monitor of all OSI layers
SMNP – communication between devices and monitoring… something
CDP – data link, multicast
NetFlow – processes ACLs, packet analysis for security

That’s the order as I answered, but feel free to check whether it’s correct.

_Data Aggregation Layer_
A) even with Layer 3, STP is still needed to prevent physical loops
B) devices must support multilayer switching, independent of firewalls (that was really a weird option)
C) sometimes mix of L2 and L3 infrastructure is desirable
D) at small sites, it’s connected right to the core and provides IP and MAC addresses services

I think I answered A.

_Campus Core_
A) provides L2 & L3 services
B) provides fast transport from distribution to enterprise edge
C) is optional
D) provides convergence and something… which didn’t seem right to me

I answered B.

Many thanks to all who participated in this forum – without all this info, using just the book, I’d never pass it! And good luck to all adepts!

I found this exam pack guide for 640-864 this is what I was going to make, all of the certification guide 4 chapters Q&A with the exam engine really great

and this is a torrent link:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:3764923eecb0945343ac63d984d491f8c4fc4911&dn=CCDA%20640-864%20Study%20Pack%20v1.0

Anyone can explain me this ? :

New DD
MIB – selection not used
SNMP – manages with UDP
RMON – uses agent for long term analysis
CiscoWorks – management tool
D& D = HTTP/EMAIL/ IP Phone / Voice / BUDGET/SECURITY /APPLICATION.

D&D=Data Center Virtualization/ VSAN/ Cisco Unified Communication System

i assume those who tried taking this exam mentions the contents are same as the ones in 640-863 in this forum. will be taking this tomorrow and hope can have success in passing this exam.

anyone please can help me out with the new DD i mentioned before??

Hi ccda, u meant to say u have taken this exam before and you found out this DND?

@Testtaker : no just a guy posted it somewhere in another website and i copied it for more analyzing with you guys, any idea?

Can anyone help with this question:

Which two of these represent a best practice implementation of a Split MAC LWAPP deployment in a Cisco Unified Wireless Network? (Choose two)

A. Each wireless client authentication type maps to a shared SSID which in turn maps to a common shared VLAN.
B. Each wireless client authentication type maps to a unique SSID which in turn maps to a unique VLAN.
C. Each wireless client authentication type maps to a unique SSID which in turn maps to a common shared VLAN.
D. 802.1 Q trunking extends from the wired infrastructure to the access point for translation into SSID(s).
E. 802.1 Q trunking extends from the wired infrastructure to a wireless LAN controller for translation into SSID(s).
F. 802.1 Q trunking extends from the wired infrastructure to a wireless LAN controller.
Then the 802.1 Q packet is encapsulated in LWAPP and sent to the access point for transmission over the SSID(s).

Everything I have read on this site and in the dumps says the answer is B and E. The new textbook has the exact same question and their answer is B and D. I read the chapter and it isnt explicitly spelled out, but I think the textbook answer is wrong.

I don’t have any hands on experience with LWAPs, so I really can’t look at one to get an answer. I know with a regular access point, the link to the network is NOT trunked, but this is a very different setup.

Thanks folks!

B and D are the correct answers, the same question and answer appears in the cisco certification guide 4

Hello Anonymous, which dump did you use?

Have anyone tried the exam practice I mentioned yesterday ?

@pass4sure : what do you think about this simlet :

+ Protect network services including DHCP, ARP, and IP spoofing protection
+ Protect against inadvertent loops

+ Protect the endpoints using network based intrusion prevention
+ Protect the infrastructure using NFP best practices

+ Does not perform security functions to mitigate transit threats
+ Filter and rate-limit control plane traffic

ACCESS / Distribution / CORE

This is exactly the correct answer, I found the same answers in this cisco link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Security/SAFE_RG/chap5.html
pass4sure collection was wrong

@pass4sure: so what is your answer about that question i posted?

It is correct 100 %

what is the correct ? you mean the answer i posted?

ACCESS:

+ Protect network services including DHCP, ARP, and IP spoofing protection
+ Protect against inadvertent loops

Distribution:

+ Protect the endpoints using network based intrusion prevention
+ Protect the infrastructure using NFP best practices

Core:

Sorry :

Access:
+ Protect network services including DHCP, ARP, and IP spoofing protection
+ Protect against inadvertent loops

Distribution:
+ Protect the endpoints using network based intrusion prevention
+ Protect the infrastructure using NFP best practices

Core:
+ Does not perform security functions to mitigate transit threats
+ Filter and rate-limit control plane traffic

Correct???

yes your answer is correct

@pass4sure: thank you my friend, what do you think about the new D&D:

MIB – selection not used
SNMP – manages with UDP
RMON – uses agent for long term analysis
CiscoWorks – management tool

D& D = HTTP/EMAIL/ IP Phone / Voice / BUDGET/SECURITY /APPLICATION.
D&D=Data Center Virtualization/ VSAN/ Cisco Unified Communication System

any idea?

This is from the above link in cisco safe architecture website:
Access Layer: Securing the access infrastructure and protecting network services including DHCP, ARP, IP spoofing protection and protecting against inadvertent loops

Distribution layer: This section discusses the various security measures used for securing the campus distribution layer including the following:

•Protecting the endpoints using network-based intrusion prevention

•Protection the infrastructure using NFP best practices

Really I don’t know about them, I am taking the exam tomorrow

good luck @pass4sure and come back as soon as you finish the exam to tell me what you saw in the exam ok? which time you have it? the morning?

Yes at the morning

@pass4sure
first of all good luck to you in your exam… Second please remember details of these two Qs

D& D = HTTP/EMAIL/ IP Phone / Voice / BUDGET/SECURITY /APPLICATION.
D&D=Data Center Virtualization/ VSAN/ Cisco Unified Communication System

thanks…

I will try to remember as much as possible, pray to me to succeed

@pass4sure: i wish to help you with this D&D but i just copied it, i still didn’t go to pass the exam, please come tomorrow and tell me the result and the sim you have been given and thank you alot my friend

@pass4sure : gooooood luck you will pass don’t worry :)

@pass4sure: take a look at this question:

The entreprise campus core layer has requirements that are unique from the distribution and access layers, which of the following is true about the core layer?

A. The core provides convergence using layer 2 and layer 3 services and features.
B. The core provides high availability to support the distribution layer connections to the enterprise edge.
C. The campus core layer is optional.
D. The core layer requires high performance to manage the traffic policing across the backbone.

answer is C and i think it’s correct and also the others answers seems to me logic !! what do u think?

Given a VoIP network with these attributes:

Codec: G.711
WAN Bandwidth: 768 Kbps
Packet Header : 6 bytes
Payload: 160 bytes
CRTP : No

How many calls can be made?

A. 7 calls
B. 13 calls
C. 8 calls
D. 9 calls
E. 11 calls

the answer is E. 11 calls

thx and for the other question?

not sure, but looks like B or C….anyone else? :

The entreprise campus core layer has requirements that are unique from the distribution and access layers, which of the following is true about the core layer?

A. The core provides convergence using layer 2 and layer 3 services and features.
B. The core provides high availability to support the distribution layer connections to the enterprise edge.
C. The campus core layer is optional.
D. The core layer requires high performance to manage the traffic policing across the backbone.

answer is C and i think it’s correct and also the others answers seems to me logic !! what do u think?

@CCDA

If you try this link http://tools.cisco.com/Support/VBC/do/CodecCalc1.do

You can calculate the number of calls,and i think 11 calls it is the wrong answer,it seems like 8 or 9 calls.

Well,if I use the tool correctly,the answer is 9 calls.
