  • Question
Student question stumped the class, unable to drive the nail home for this question.

In CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Student Guide, Pg. 163. or Instructor Guide Pg. 168.
Question 5 states:
5. A company has eight networks, using the subnet addresses 192.168.0.0/24,
192.168.1.0/24 … 192.168.7.0/24. What network prefix and subnet mask can be used to summarize a
supernet route to these networks?

Answer:
It takes 3 bits to summarize eight networks (23 = 8). Subtracting 3 bits from the existing network
mask makes the supernet network prefix /21. The third octet of the mask will use 5 bits, which is
248 in decimal (25 = 248), so the full mask is 255.255.248.0.

This class is unable to grasp this concept, & I am running out of ways to explain & time to stay on track to finish class where I need to for the day. Any help explaining is greatly appreciated.

New Instructor looking for part-time work.

Hello all,
I've been in IT field for over 20 years, mostly as an administrator and engineer. I'm looking to take my knowledge and skills to another avenue as an instructor. I have certifications in Comptia as well as Microsoft, and recently have become an MCT. I've done some training internally and am now looking for an opportunity to instruct outside my current role part time, and test the waters. I suspected this would be difficult getting my foot in the door, just as any new venture would be.

Any leads or opportunities would be most appreciated.

Best regards.

5.6.11 Lab: Configure Switch IP Settings - CLI

Just sharing this seemingly disconnected instruction and question in the 5.6.11 Lab: Configure Switch IP Settings - CLI

The instruction says to find the IP address assigned to F0/0 of the SFO router. (ok, i understand the task)
The task says, use "show cdp neighbors detail" (eh?)

If you follow the instructions, you'll get this:

If you are a Cisco instructor, you would know that the better command to use is "show ip interface brief"
View attachment 1803

Fortunately, my class knows Cisco configuration.
But I'm sharing this with everyone as we find the instruction abit lost in answering the question.

5.1.10 Lab: Cisco Troubleshooting Tools - wrong answer Q#8

I had the same issue - there is a question mark in the upper right hand corner of the platform. I reported the issue with screenshots directly through the platform. Every time my learners find a similar glitch, we discuss and attempt to replicate, discuss possible issues (for example they may have planned to provide a ping that would route through a down connection. Since we cannot click on any of the connected devices to check for IP address etc,, we can only assume. Also, it could have been a simple keying area in the answer section. These glitches are one thing that I've experienced in the years I've used the platform. So, I've learned to use them as a problem solving situation.
Thanks for sharing.
It's nice to know that it is not just me and my class who is having the same issues. 😅
