Dennis, Thanks for the useful info. I used your boson test to pass the Written a while back... I like to think I would have passed it without your test, but I was much more confident at the testing center for having bought the test. I highly recommend it for anyone getting ready for the written. In your Corrections to the Brainbuzz CCIE Written Cramsession, you mentioned IPX split horizon. I've been able to enable it for ipx eigrp, but not for ipx rip. Has anyone dealt with split horizon on ipx rip networks?
I'll be labbing up some ipx stuff tonight, so I'll look at some routing updates and see if split horizon is actually taking effect or not. I've been wrestling with NLSP lately and found it to be a pain, and of course the docs on cisco's site are ever-so helpful... anyone get any recommendations for an ipx bible?

Count the number of bytes the RIF is (hint - each hex character is one byte, so there are two bytes for the RC, and two more for each RD). Since the first problem has a length of 24 bytes defined, but an actual length of 8 bytes, it's invalid.. Since the second problem has a length of 6 bytes defined, but an actual length of 8 bytes, it's invalid too... Attached is a document I put together some time ago to help people with RIFs, hopefully you will find it useful. Group members won't get the attachment, but I'll try and post it on a web site for you to download later tonight...

Can someone explain....... example 1 RIF d820.0123.0321.0050 TYPE RIF LENGTH DIRECTION FRAME LENGHT NOT USED 110 11000 0 010 0000 How do you know that the rif length is different from the actual length of the RIF (what are we counting here) example 2 RIF 0630.0011.0191.0030 TYPE RIF LENGTH DIRECTION FRAME LENGHT NOT USED 000 00110 0 011 0000 How do you know that the rif length different from the actual lengthf the RIF (what are we counting here) Thanks, JB Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=38946&t=38569 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
