Network Summarisation – Exam Technique and Examples
KB ID 0001138 Problem Note: Yes I’m spelling Summarisation with an ’S’ I’m English. Most examples I’ve seen on this give you a bunch of subnets then ask you to come up with a summary route for all of them, (that’s kind of the point of route summarisation, I’ll grant you). However in an exam with a laminated board and the dodgy permanent pen they give you to make notes with, are you seriously expected to...

KB ID 0001134 Problem By default all modern distributions of Windows come with their client firewall enabled. Which is a good thing, most corporate networks simply disable it using the rationale that they have a corporate firewall and security software etc. Again thats fine, but what if you want to leave it on, and still be able to ping that host to see if its alive. Solution The firewall exception is already written for you, you...
