Thought For The Day:
"People take their cues from you as to how they should think about you. Your attitude about yourself is visible to everyone. Develop an attitude that you are worth a lot, and others will value you. Walk briskly and purposefully, eyes loooking straight ahead, like someone who knows where he or she is going. Define yourself in a big way."
"We all have self-definition. Give yourself a big definition."
-- Donald Trump

Here are the answers to yesterday's questions!
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:
It's a classic question, but you gotta know these by heart. What are the three RFC 1918 private address ranges? Include the masks in your answer.
Answer:
Class A: 10.0.0.0 /8
Class B: 172.16.0.0 /12 (watch that one, it's not /16)
Class C: 192.168.0.0 /16 (watch that one also, it's not /24)
CCNA Security Certification / CCNP ISCW Exam:
How can you configure SDM to preview the commands before delivering them to the router, and also give you a confirmation prompt when you leave SDM?
Answer: I personally check Preferences in SDM every time I use it, and I recommend you do the same. Before proceeding to the Configuration section, go to the upper-left corner of the initial SDM window and select Preferences, as shown here:
Then you can edit these three prefs to your heart's delight! (The following illustration was trimmed to fit Blogger.)
