 subnetting on 291 Studying for 291 right now and I'm focusing a lot on subnetting right now. Does the test generally have a lot of these types of questions or should i focus more on other areas (assuming i know a good bit about DHCP, DNS, WSUS, etc...) | ||

I don't recall too many subnetting questions on my 291...maybe 2-3. DNS, WSUS, RRAS, and IPSec were the major topics. | ||

Counting all of the MS exams I have taken, I can only recall one direct subnetting question such as "What subnet mask is required for x number of hosts?" - and that one question wasn't on 291. Those types of questions are too easy and direct for an MS exam. What you will see are questions that require subnetting knowledge to figure out the correct answer. You need to understand subnetting so that you can identify the symptoms of an incorrect IP address, subnet mask or default gateway and how that will impact network communications. | ||

I have had maybe a total of three of these types of questions and only one was on the 291. The reason why test prep books/software put such a high emphasis on these is because they are generally harder to get your mind around at first and so students tend to ignore them because they are percieved as "hard". I believe knowing how to subnet well will be of benefit to your career and is worth the time spent. Plus in a test like the 291 where each question might count, subnetting is easy and exact and can help you get that point you might need. __________________ WIP: 70-453 (DBA 2008 Upgrade) Next: 70-433 and 70-451 MCITP: Database Developer; 70-445 and 70-446 MCITP: Business Intelligence Developer --- Quote:

I'd say basically try to understand how many hosts you can obtain from a subnet (vice versa), the nework ID and the how to manipulate the subnet mask from practice tests I've taken. Last edited by nash0924; 02-03-2010 at 03:48 PM. | ||
