CDROM: Readiness Review assessment question incorrect
In the Readiness Review Assessment, one of the questions reads:

&quot;What is the maximum length of a single DNS domain name?

a. 255 Characters

b. 15 Characters

c. 16 Characters

d. 63 Characters&quot;

The correct answer given by the assessment is D. 63 Characters. This is incorrect as a single DNS domain name can be up to 255 characters.

The question should read:

&quot;What is the maximum length of a single DNS domain label.

a. 255 Characters

b. 15 Characters

c. 16 Characters

d. 63 Characters&quot;

The correct answer would be D. 63 Characters as a domain label can be up to 63 characters in length.

Page 2-39: Bits available to subnet mask 255.0.0.0 should be 8
On page 2-39, exercise 2, step 7 contains incorrect information regarding the subnet mask.

Change:

&quot;Check the value in the Length spin box. Notice that the server automatically enters 24 for the subnet mask length. This means that 24 bits of the IP address are allocated to the network address. Eight bits remain for allocating host addresses on the network.&quot;

To:

&quot;Check the value in the Length spin box. Notice that the server automatically enters 8 for the subnet mask length. This means that 8 bits of the IP address are allocated to the network address. Twenty four bits remain for allocating host addresses on the network.&quot;

Page 2-39: End address should be 10.0.0.11
On page 2-39, exercise 2, step 7 contains an incorrect IP address.

Change:

&quot;In the End Address text box, type 10.0.0.1.&quot;

To:

&quot;In the End Address text box, type 10.0.0.11.&quot;

Page 2-53: Incorrect number of horizontal LANs
On page 2-53, in the Troubleshooting Lab, problem scenario 2 reads:
