539 Appendix C ✦ Test Taking Tips If you don’t receive a passing score If you do not pass a certification exam, you may call the testing center to schedule a time to retake the exam. Before retaking the exam, you should review this book and focus additional study on the topic areas where your exam results could be improved. Please note that you must pay again for each time you retake the exam. One way to determine areas where additional study may be helpful is to review your individual section scores carefully. The section titles in your score report generally correlate to specific groups of exam objectives. Here are some specific ways you can prepare to retake an exam: ✦ Go over the section-by-section scores on your exam results, noting objective areas where your score could be improved. ✦ Review the objectives for the exam, with a special focus on the tasks and objective areas that correspond to the exam sections where your score could be improved. ✦ Increase your real-world, hands-on experience and practice performing the listed job tasks with the relevant products and technologies. For More Information VUE has teamed with Self Test software, which is a world leader in certification practice tests. These practice exams will help to prepare you for the actual test.

This pro- gram also lets you see how quickly your data goes from your computer to another computer on the Internet and even will tell you how many other computers your data must go through to get there. SNMPc 5.0 Network Manager SNMPc 5.0 Network Manager, from Castle Rock Computing, Inc., is a scalable, dis- tributed management suite for managing small- to large-sized networks. This evalu- ation version employs multiple components running on different computers, and uses distributed database technology to provide a high-performance platform regardless of the size or configuration of the network. Network View 1.2 Network View 1.2, from Network View Software will discover all your TCP/IP nodes and their routes using DNS, SNMP, and TCP Ports information. Even with a database of more than 5,000 SNMP enterprises and devices, it can be run from a floppy disk. In a few seconds, you produce a high quality map of a network, print it, or save it to a floppy, and modify it as you like. ipPulse 1.4 The 30-day trial of ipPulse, from Northwest Performance Software, Inc., is a remote status monitoring tool. Use ipPulse to monitor the up/down status of IP connected devices (nodes) on any IP connected network. ipPulse uses a variety of methods, including ping, TCP connects, and SNMP to poll and check the network connectiv- ity of a list of user-defined nodes. ipPulse alerts you to failures using a variety of techniques ranging from audible messages to email and pager notification. You can even control ipPulse remotely by logging into Remote Control using any Telnet application. CommView 2.4 CommView, from TamoSoft, Inc., is a program for monitoring network activity capable of capturing and analyzing packets on any Ethernet network. It gathers information about data flowing on a LAN and decodes the analyzed data. With CommView you can see the list of network connections, vital IP statistics, and examine individual packets. IP packets are decoded down to the lowest layer with full analysis of the main IP protocols: TCP, UDP, and ICMP. Full access to raw data is also provided. Captured packets can be saved to log files for future analysis. A flexible system of filters makes it possible to drop packets you don’t need or cap- ture only those packets that you wish to capture. This is a 30-day trial version. 4809-3 appD.F 5/15/01 9:50 AM Page 544 545 Appendix D ✦ What’s on the CD-ROM Remote console applications The following remote console applications are included.

For more information on Adobe Acrobat Reader, go to www.adobe.com. Troubleshooting If you have difficulty installing or using the CD-ROM programs, try the following solutions: ✦ Turn off any anti-virus software that you may have running. Installers sometimes mimic virus activity and can make your computer incorrectly believe that it is being infected by a virus. (Be sure to turn the anti-virus software back on later.) ✦ Close all running programs. The more programs you’re running, the less memory is available to other programs. Installers also typically update files and programs; if you keep other programs running, installation may not work properly. If you still have trouble with the CD, please call the Hungry Minds Customer Care department at: (800) 762-2974. Outside the United States, call (317) 572-3993. Hungry Minds will provide technical support only for installation and other general quality control items; for technical support on the applications themselves, consult the program’s vendor or author. ✦✦✦ 4809-3 appD.F 5/15/01 9:50 AM Page 546 Glossary 10baseT A type of network cable. 10BaseT Ethernet networks run at 10 MB/s, and have a maximum segment length of 100 meters. 100baseT A type of network cable also referred to as Fast Ethernet. 100BaseT runs at 100 MB/s, and the maximum seg- ment length is 100 meters. 1000baseT A type of network cable also referred to as Gigabit Ethernet. 1000BaseT runs at 1 Gbps, and the maximum seg- ment length is 100 meters.
