Welcome to the Thursday, August 14 edition of The Mastermind!
I've got a new CCNA Security tutorial for you, and just a quick mention here to the many of you who have asked - yes, I will be teaching my Online CCNA Security Mastermind course beginning in January 2009!
Which is a lot sooner than you and I think! :) So keep that in mind - it's going to be an intensive, LIVE course that gives you plenty of hands-on work with SDM!
Beginning next week, I'll be adding video tutorials added to the website, and another addition I'm dying to tell you about - but can't just yet!
Also later this week, the ONT Study Package will be released - I'm adding even more information to it over the next few dates, including screen shots of Cisco applications available nowhere else!
The CCNA Security, Wireless, and Voice courses are on their way as well, with plenty of practice exams and tutorials posted on the main site for those exams in the weeks and months ahead!
Obviously, we've got a lot going on here right now - and we're thrilled to have you along for the ride up!
Let's get started!

Here are the answers to yesterday's questions!
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:
What two commands were run in the following configuration?
R3# ?
R3#
R3# ?
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.12.123.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 136/139/152 ms
R3#
IP: s=172.12.123.3 (local), d=172.12.123.2 (Serial0), len 100, sending
IP: s=172.12.123.1 (Serial0), d=172.12.123.3 (Serial0), len 56, rcvd 3
IP: s=172.12.123.2 (Serial0), d=172.12.123.3 (Serial0), len 100, rcvd 3
IP: s=172.12.123.3 (local), d=172.12.123.2 (Serial0), len 100, sending
Answers: First, we ran a popular debug, debug ip packet. I removed the line that mentions that IP debugging has been turned on, since I knew you didn't need that much help! :)
We then sent a ping to 172.12.123.2, indicated by the "d" for destination in the sending packet debug line.
CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:
What exactly is fail closed? Is it enabled or disabled by default?
Answer: The following illustration from my CCNP ISCW and CCNA Security study guides explains it! The default settings are shown - note that Fail Closed is off by default. (Click the image for a larger display.)
CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:
What is the net result of the following configuration?
R1(config)#router ospf 1
R1(config-router)#passive-interface ethernet0
Answer:
Even though OSPF does not sent "routing updates" in the form that RIP and EIGRP do, you can still configure an OSPF-enabled interface as passive in order to prevent OSPF traffic from exiting that interface.
No OSPF adjacency can be formed if one of the interfaces involved is a passive interface, and if you configure an OSPF-enabled interface as passive where an adjacency already exists, the adjacency will drop almost immediately.
In the following example, R1 and R2 have an existing OSPF adjacency over their Ethernet interfaces. In an effort to reduce routing traffic, R1's e0 interface is configured as passive. The adjacency drops right away.
R1(config)#router ospf 1
R1(config-router)#passive-interface ethernet0
R1(config-router)#
18:31:11: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 2.2.2.2 on Ethernet0 from FULL to DOWN, Neighbor Down: Interface down or detached
As of IOS version 12.0, you can now set all interfaces on a router as passive for a given protocol with the passive-interface default command.
R3(config)#router ospf 1
R3(config-router)#passive-interface default
To set the interfaces back to their default, just use the no passive-interface default command.
R3(config-router)#no passive-interface default
CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:
What single command will allow only secure connections to your Cisco switch via the VTY lines?
Answer: transport input ssh.
CCNP / ONT Exam: (My ONT Study Package will be out later this week!)
You're running AutoQoS for VoIP. What queueing scheme will be used for non-voice, "regular" data traffic?
A. WFQ
B. PQ
C. WRR
D. RR
Answer: C. Weighted Round Robin (WRR) will be used for data, LLW for Voice.
That's it for today! Be sure to take advantage of the exam links in today's newsletter, and I'll see you Friday!
To your success,
