au contraire, mon ami, the OSI model is VERY important. If you don't understand it, how will you know when that guy selling the layer 4-layer 7 switch is lying? ;->

It is by far the most abused/misused way of describing networking concepts and ideas. If the OSI model helps you plan/design, install, support/administer any network idea/concept/technology -- all the better. If you spend your waking hours thinking how every network idea/concept/technology fits into the OSI model, there is something clearly wrong with you. And IMO, I personally think that tests should not include anything about the OSI model. It's important to know it, but there are much greater things to know in networking like protocol specifics. I'd much rather know how OSPF/RIP/BGP work than what layer they 'primarily' function on. Also, please try to refrain from using all capital letters when making stupid posts that are meaningless to this list. -dre ""Tribavan Raina"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hi all.. > > The answers which we got for this question were wrong.I consulted the CISCO > PRESS BOOK JEFF DOYLE ROUTING TCP/IP > > 1)RIP,BGP ARE AT APPLICATION LAYER ,PAGE 31 CHAPTER GUESS 1OR 2. > > 2)OSPF AT TRANSPORT. > Any reasonings.. > > regds Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=21264&t=21226 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
