Chapter 9: Scenarios for Final Preparation

Final CCNA Exam Preparation Study Strategy
How to Best Use This Chapter
The focus of these scenarios is on easily forgotten items. The first such items are the
show
and
debug
commands. Their options are often ignored, mainly because you can get online help
about the correct option easily when using the Cisco CLI. However, questions about the exact
command options used to see a particular piece of information are scattered throughout the
exam. Take care to review the output of the commands in these scenarios.
NOTE
You should not count on the CCNA exam to have only multiple-choice questions--it also can
have fill-in-the blank questions, with particular emphasis on commands and command options.
Another focus of this chapter is a review of command-line tricks and acronym trivia. Like it or
not, part of the preparation involves memorization; hopefully, these reminders will help you
answer a question or two on the exam.
Additional examples for IP and IPX addressing are included with each scenario. You can be sure
that IP addressing, subnetting, and broadcast addresses will be on the exam. Also, take care to
recall the Novell encapsulation options, which are also reviewed in these scenarios.
