person two：

    My advise is know concepts behind subneting,super neting,DNS WINS and Name resolution.

Rember this is a Microsoft exam so WINS Rules.

    I memorised the number of subnets and masks and used the formula 2^z-2 where z is the number of zero s in the mask. For number of hosts easier than remembering the tables.

    Below is what I memorised and then wrote out befor starting the exam.

Subnetting

Class C Subnetting

Subnets hosts mask Node types 1= b 2 = p 3 = m 4 = h

2 62 192

6 30 224

14 14 240

30 6 248

62 2 252

Remaining classes

Subnets Mask

2 192

6 224

14 240

30 248

62 252

126 254

254 255

Used formula 2^z-2 for hosts, as there are very few class a,b subnetting questions and i found the formula easier than memorising the tables.

ie mask 240 with class b subnet in Bin = 11111111.11111111 11110000 00000000

So number of 0 = 12

Number of host 2^12-2 = 4094

Know NetBT name resolution order.

Name Cache Wins Broadcast Lmhosts Hosts DNS

qoutes thanks to Brain Dump forget author...sorry

Know IP Resolution

Local host Hosts DNS Wins Broadcast Lmhosts.

Know your utilities Netstat,Arp, Nbtstat etc I had no switches questions. ie NBTSTAT -R

I also had all Multi choice questions.

Be aware that the last seven questions take alot of reading so perhaps mark all preseeding questions and go back to them. I didn t but foundbrain foggy by this stage.
