The answer for question 12 is incorrect. Classful routing does NOT support VLSM, as it does not send subnetmasks with updates and packets.
exactly
Correct answer: routing updates do not include a subnet mask
VLSM is supported by RIPv2. In this case, the correct answer is that RIPv1 does not send subnet masks in its uptades. Subnet mask is figured out by the network address, /8, /16 or /24 for class A, B or C of IP addresses, respectively.
Answer for question 38 is incorrect. OSPF chooses its Router-ID from any active physical interface regardless of OSPF configuration of that interface.
The correct answers is d as you said. so the correct answer is : ***The highest IP address among the active interfaces will be used. ***
Hi Peter, you are right, the answer is: “The highest IP address among the active interfaces will be used.”
He is rather talking about DR or BDR selection
Question 8 is also wrong. The OS in ROM is used when there is no IOS in the flash!
#8 is correct. Vlad is also correct, but the option shown is the only option that could be considered correct in this case.
My reasoning is because the router will not load the IOS on ROM without the administrator (running-config) telling it to do so.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, or let me know if you came to the same conclusion. No doubt that Cisco has some serious issues wording their exam questions though.
from chapter 1: “If a full IOS image can not be located, a scaled-down version of the IOS is copied from ROM into RAM. ” so the correct answer is “when the full ios cannot be found”
Look at it this way, loading startup-config is the next step after loading IOS how then can it instruct loading from the ROM if it’s not active?
variable length subnet mask supports the classless network… I too think that 38th answer is wrong MR thomas
variable length subnet mask supports the classless network… I too think that 12th answer is wrong MR thomas
i agree with you sandeep actually classful netwek doesn’t support vlsm…# answer 12 is wrong
Answer to the question 9 is wrong. Choice 3 would be the correct answer. In the choice 4, S 172.16.1.0 has shown directly connected whice is not true. this is connected via 172.16.2.1 which is the next hop ip address from R2 to the network 172.16.1.0/24
answer in question 9 is correct, the admin used exit interface not next hop address.
the answer 9 is fully correct !
the running-config shows that route added as a se0/0/1 and not via 172.16.2.1
Wrong bro, it was defined through an interface and not through an IP Address. What you say is true, thing is when you configure the static route through an interface, “show ip route” does show the address as “directly connected”, though S (for static) remains.
yes
you right MHasan,. 172.16.1.0 is not directly connected
The answer shown (option 4) is CORRECT.
It is not directly connected, but s/0/0/0 is. As far as the router knows, 172.16.1.0 is directly connected to s0/0/0 because the admin did not use a next hop IP.
The third answer is NOT correct because the router has no idea that 172.16.2.1 is where packets need to be sent until AFTER the recursive lookup is done. When using an exit interface argument, a recursive lookup MUST be done, so there is no way that 172.16.2.1 would even show up in the routing table due to this.
Question 9 is correct. I’ve just tried it in Packet Tracer.
I disagree with #27.
Any interface can participate in the router id election. I’ve verified with packet tracer.
Q#27 is correct. Choice #4 is false, because it doesn’t mention if the interface is active. Therefore, #5 is correct.
I agree mik, and what is an “active ip address”, active interface maybe.
http://ericleahy.com/?p=943
”
If no loopback interfaces are configured with IP addresses, the router will choses the physical interface with the highest IP address. The interface from which the Router ID is taken does not have to be running OSPF. The Cisco OSPF will continue to use a Router ID learned from a physical interface even if the interface subsequently fails or is deleted.
“
Wrong about even if it fails or deleted. It will have a BDR and a new election process will start.
Hicham is right, option #4 does not mention ACTIVE interface. If the interface is not up/up, the IP address will not be considered for a Router ID. The interface does not have to be participating in OSPF, but it must be active.
Chapter 11 says:
Cisco routers derive the router ID based on three criteria and with the following precedence:
1. Use the IP address configured with the OSPF router-id command.
2. If the router-id is not configured, the router chooses highest IP address of any of its loopback interfaces.
3. If no loopback interfaces are configured, the router chooses highest active IP address of any of its physical interfaces.
Can anyone tell me is this is version A B or C? I know I am going to get test A but have not found and exact match to it.
Thanks
Just wondering how you know which one you are getting? I would love to be able t find out for myself. Cheers
Did you ever get an answer for this question?
Answer to Q#15 is false. The answer is Hold-down timers. Check chapter 4 in CNA2.
15 is correct.
#15 no correct
the answer is :
hold-down timers
actually, it should be route-poisoning!
Route poisoning will send a metric of 16 to the neigbourin router.
Split horizon is the mechanisum of avoidin to send an update to the router it recieves from.
So the best possible answer is route-poisoning.
Correct answer is Hold-down Timers, because the question is to prevent not to change the hop count
Ehy Bro, the packets can be dropped during the travel along the network. So the information can arrive in a false argument.
So, why can’t be right “Split Horizon” reply?
12. What is a characteristic of classful routing?
support for VLSM
the use of 48-bit addresses
+ routing updates do not include a subnet mask
addresses that are typically entered in hexadecimal format
Shouldn’t it be C instead of A? Support for VLSM is classless routing?
Yes, you’re right.
Answer: routing updates do not include a subnet mask
Support for VLSM is in classless routing
#15 is Incorrect !!! Answer is Route poisoning. 100% sure.
You right!
please tell me: what are the advantages of vlans? and what happens when a dhcp conflict occurs?
The answer on Q#40 is wrong, Fa0/1 on both routers are in the same network since its a /23 network. the answer is “The subnet mask for the Fa0/0 interface of R1 is incorrect.” since its IP address is 128.107.10.151/24
sorry after i double checked the answer is correct
Question #8 – correct answer is: when the full IOS cannot be found
17 is wrong. EIGRP uses 224.0.0.9 to multicast
See CCNA2 chapter 9.1.2.1
EIGRP uses 224.0.0.10 multicast
17 is right. EIGRP uses 224.0.0.10 and RIPv2 uses 224.0.0.9
I disagree with #38
Shouldn’t the answer be: “The highest IP address among the active interfaces will be used.”
The priority for assignment of router ID is:
1. via the router-id command
2. The highest IP address of a loopback interface (if more than one loopback has been configured)
3. the highest physical active interface IP address
It also says the physical interface does not have to be advertised by OSPF.
i agree with you,its any active physical interface but not specifically fastethernet advertised through
ospf
I have some confusion about no.46 qstn. why not it is “The OSPF process ID numbers must match.” ?
Because the process ID’s don’t need to match for OSPF to form an adjacency. The process is only relevant to the individual router and nothing else. You might be thinking of “Area ID’s” being different, then that would most definitely cause problems. From the configs shown in #46 the hello/dead timers do not match so the routers will not form an adjacency at all.
16. From the lesson…..
“RAM stores the instructions and data needed to be executed by the CPU. RAM is used to store these components:
Operating System: The Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System) is copied into RAM during bootup.”
the answares are
RAM – stores the operating system
and
NVRAM – stores the configuration file
During the self-test, the router executes diagnostics from ROM on several hardward components including the CPU, RAM, and NVRAM.
Just took the final and got a 95! FYI: There were only about 3 of these questions on the latest exam so you’d be well advised to know your stuff!

Hello,
I have my Final Exam for CCNA 2 in two weeks. On this page we have the Final Exam Answers 2012 and CCNA 2 Final Exam V4.0 Answers.
Which one is the correct or better version to learn? Or is it simply the best to learn both? Can it be that for this year there will be an other version?
I hope you can help me.
Greetings,
Aaron
