Has anyone taken a Comptia Network + reference manual and/or a CCNA reference manual in for the Computer dicipline of the PE test? How about the Comptia A+ reference manual. If so, was it helpful? I noticed that a lot of the Computer section of the EERM involves material that was covered in my CCNA bootcamp such as network architectures and binary, hex, decimal convertions. My Network + bootcamp discussed alot of hardware and software legacy and modern systems. When I took the A+ class, it dealt a lot with hardware.

 
If you already have the books, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take them along. I was looking for good networking and pseudo-code books to take with me to the exam (old exam format, Computer depth), but never found anything really good. But apparently they helped enough for me to pass. Anywho, you may not use the book if you take it, but if you run across a question that the book would have helped answer and you don't have it, you'll never forgive yourself.

 
Network experts - please help to answer this question: If you have 5 computers (call it computer#1 through #5) connected to Hub #1, and than Hub #1 is connected to a switch #1. Switch #1 is connected to a router #1. Now, if Computer#1 sends message to Computer #4, does the switch#1 get the message and sends it back to hub#1, which in turns broadcast back to computer#4 or does the switch#1 does not do anything ( Just listens) since it thought that the hub#1 will broadcast to all ports, including port#4 where computer#4 is connected ?

Thank you

Thank you RJmaster19. Can you please explain how it would be different if it was not on same IP/Subnet range ? Would like understand all scenerios from hub...

Assuming the computers are on the same IP/subnet range, the switch will only 'hear' the message, not resend it.
