Sybex CCNA Study Guide:  Chapter 10,  page 355-360
A 0.0.0.0 wildcard mask means check every bit and make sure that it matches.  For our example, the IP host address  1.1.1.1  is a specific address to check on the network.  An alternative would be to use the IP network address and a special access-list wildcard mask to check an entire subnetwork.

I want to configure a serial interface on a 7500 with a VIP card.  What global config command would give me access to a serial interface on a 7500?
A.)  int 1/0/0
B.)  int s 1/0/0
C.)  int s 1/1

Sybex CCNA Study Guide:  Chapter 5, page 167
The syntax for a VIP card is:  'Interface Serial SLOT/PORT-ADAPTER/PORT', where:
Slot = The big linecard slot # in the 7500 chassis,
Port-Adapter = The PA mini-card slot # inside the larger linecard slot,
Port = The interface port # on the PA mini-card.
Imagine a larger slot (the linecard slot of the chassis) that in turn has two additional smaller slots for mini-cards (the VIP PA slots).

Sybex CCNA Study Guide:  Chapter 10, page 360-365
A wild card mask of 0.0.0.255 means that any host on subnet 3.4.5.0 matches.
The extended access list is [Source] [Destination]
So the source is [3.4.5.0 0.0.0.5] the destination is [any]
Port 23 is telnet

Incorrect.

Scenario:  You created 2 access-lists for controlling telnet about a year ago, and bound one of them to Serial 0.  You can't remember which access-list you used.   Which command lets you see all access-lists on Serial 0 for telnet?
A.)  show access-list
B.)  show ip int s0
C.)  show access-list telnet
D.)  show telnet access-list
E.)  show access-list s0
F.)  show int s0

To see which access-lists are bound to an interface, you must specifiy the protocol.
Since these were for controlling telnet, and telnet uses IP, the correct answer can only be 'show ip int s0'
show ip int s0
show ipx int s0
show appletalk int s0

Incorrect.
The correct answer(s):  C

Cisco routers can secure the enable password with a one-way hash algorithm.  What command would encrypt the enable password with the strong encryption method?
A.)  enable encrypt john
B.)  password john
C.)  enable secret john
D.)  enable password john
E.)  secret john
F.)  enable password 5 john

Sybex CCNA Study Guide:  Chapter 5
On current Cisco routers, there are two 'enable' password methods.  One is to use the old 'enable' password method, which is very easy to crack.  The newer 'Secret' method uses Message Digest 5 (MD5) encryption, and is very difficult to crack.  If both 'Enable' and 'Secret' passwords exist, the 'Secret' will always be used and the 'Enable' will be ignored.

Using the access-list command,  'access-list 1 deny 2.2.2.2',  what else must be done to stop host  2.2.2.2  from sending any traffic out of physical interface E0, while still allowing other traffic?
A.)  In global mode, Add a line -  'access-list 1 permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255'
B.)  On interface E0, Add a line -  'access-group 1 in'
C.)  In global mode, Add a line -  'access-list 1 permit all'
D.)  On interface E0, Add a line -  'access-list 1 in'
E.)  On interface E0, Add a line -  'access-list 1 out'
F.)  On interface E0, Add a line -  'ip access-group 1'

There is an implicit deny all at the end of every access list.
You need to add a line to permit other traffic, which can be done one of two ways:
---------------------------
'access-list 1 permit any'
   or,
'access-list 1 permt 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255'
---------------------------
You must bind the access list to the interface with the access-group command.  Note that the default access-list direction is outbound.
