CCNA Sample Questions

640-801
The Building Scalable Cisco Certification exam is a qualifying exam for the CCNA certifications.
The exam will certify that the successful candidate has important knowledge and skills necessary
to use advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco routers
connected to LANs and WANs. The exam covers topics on Advanced IP Addressing, Routing
Principles, Configuring the EIGRP, Configuring the Open Shortest Path First Protocol, Configuring
IS-IS, Manipulating Routing Updates, and configuring basic BGP.
We provide CCNA sample questions that help test your preparedness for taking the actual cisco
certification exam. CCNA 640-801 sample questions help in consolidating your concepts,
preparation and also as exam cram. Each CCNA sample question is based on respective vendors
published exam objectives and designed to help attain cisco certification.

carefully. Complete your configuration and press the Done button when finished.

Answer :
Troubleshooting
In the simulation, click Host D, a dialog box will appear, select the Cisco Terminal option
and press the OK button, to establish a terminal session to the router Kenan.
Press Enter key to enter the User EXEC mode.
Enter the privileged EXEC mode by typing enable at the Kenan> prompt
and then the password how2pass at the Password: prompt.
The privileged EXEC mode prompt, Kenan#,
will be displayed.
Issue the command show running-config (abbreviated as sh runn), read the output
carefully to find any missing or wrong configuration. Whenever you see the prompt
--More-- at the bottom of a page, you can press spacebar to see the next output page.
Notice the running-config entries for interface serial1. It has wrong IP address and subnet
mask. Notice the word shutdown below Serial1.
To confirm this, issue show interface serial 1 command. The output confirms that the
interface is shutdown.
This simulation also supports ping, show ip protocol and show ip route commands for
effective debugging.
Do the configuration shown below and ping to a remote ip address.
Save your configuration using copy running-config startup-config (abbreviated as copy
runn start) command.

36. You are a Cisco certified expert. You have been contracted by the Braindumps Pro chain
to fix a problem that was caused by a MCP certified technician who could not complete
the configuration of the routers. This Braindumps Pro chain has three stores and wanted
to maintain their bicycle repair business in a centralized manner through network
connectivity. They then asked the local MCP certified technician to configure the routers,
but the technician failed to establish connectivity among the routers. The routers are
named Braindumps1, Braindumps2, and Braindumps3, respectively. Identify the faults(s)
and make the appropriate change(s) to rectify the configuration of the routers.
The MCP technician configured the routers with the specification that follows:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.

The routers are named Brain dump1, Brain dump2, and Brain dump3.
RIP is the routing protocol
Clocking is provided on the serial 0 interfaces
The password on each router is "Brain dump"
The subnet mask on all interfaces is the default mask.
The IP addresses are listed in chart below.

Brain dump1
E0 192.168.27.1
E1 192.168.29.1
S0 192.168.31.1
Secret password: Brain dump
Brain dump2
E0 192.168.35.1
S0 192.168.33.1
S1 192.168.31.2
Secret password: Brain dump

Brain dump3
E0 192.168.37.1
S1 192.168.33.2
